Android 1.6 donut. What new things are there?

Android mobile phone's search function is a bit incomplete, which always makes us laugh. Press the search key on the homepage to search for the Internet.
Instead of your phone. Fortunately, Google seems to have learned that the function of searching for mobile phones may be very useful. Therefore, this function is integrated into the next-generation Android update 1.6, and 1.6 is delicious.
The alias is donut (donut ).

So what other Sugar grains are there on this donut? Let's take a look at these most delicious new features.

Gesture)

Like many other devices, donut adds gesture control to your phone. Using your fingers to draw on the screen allows you to execute specific work, and your gestures will be stored in the OS, but this does not mean you can use it immediately. You must first let the application developers use this.

Updated Market

Android Market, app
Store's little green robot version is receiving an urgent update. The new market version looks very clever and should make it easier to search programs that are currently running very well.
Android lacks a software that is easy to search and clearly classified like iTunes, which is a disadvantage for it.

The new version adds 'top free' (the most popular free program), 'top paid' (the most popular paid Program), and 'newest
The search function of the app '(the latest program), which works together with other search categories, such as 'games' and 'utilities ), so that you can find yourself
The desired program. Now the application also contains the screen.

Camera

Google said donut will make the built-in camera or recording machine programs more responsive, claiming that the program starts to increase by 39%, and the time required for the camera to take the second photo is also reduced by 28%, the camera's user interface has also been visually modified, making it easier to use.

Text-to-speech)

Google will put a text-to-speech engine called 'pico' into donut. Its unique selling point lies in its tone. We are glad that it has two types of English: English and American.

Donut also provides some convenient functions for People with Disabilities. For example, when a new window is opened, the user will be notified by vibration. What you can imagine is, text-to-speech plays a key role in this function.

Battery monitoring

One of the biggest problems with Android phones is battery endurance. Google will provide a new monitoring program that allows users to know which program or service consumes the most power. This means that if you have
If a program consumes too much power, you can stop it or warn its program developers. This is really great, and the program looks very clever, presented as a percentage, at a glance.

Voice Search and global search

Unlike the old Android version, you will soon be able to search for the entire mobile phone from the home page, which means that you can easily find communication materials, text messages, and content on other mobile phones. What's even more exciting is that Google Voice Search is compatible with it.

Therefore, if you want to play a phone call to a contact, you only need to press the Voice Search button and then say "cell phone, call ian". Then the phone will dial for you. People who have used the Voice Search function know that this is good, although it is not completely error-free, especially when you are in a noisy environment.

Another exciting news is that the search feature will be assisted by the location feature. For example, when you enter "Indian restaurant", it will help you find a famous restaurant near your location, so you will no longer have a famous restaurant at the intersection to search for McDonald's.

The content searched by the mobile phone can also be set by the user. If you do not want your program to appear, you can deselect the option in the menu. This is very important, because the updated search function may enable
The content in the program can be searched through the global search, which means that your Twitter program may retrieve all your tweets, this may cause you to search for contact details.
Some obfuscation.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

If you are an enterprise-level user, the new version of the built-in support for various communication rules and encrypted VPNs may be useful, this may even make Android phones popular with enterprise-level users who currently use Windows Mobile smartphones.

Support for the display resolution of delimiters

Although this may not affect people who use it every day, resolution support indicates that the screen of the program regardless of the screen size can be correctly displayed, the development of Android mini laptops and mobile phones of different sizes means that this update is very important for program developers.

Cool. When will it go public?

All in all, it seems that donut will be a very valuable new version, and Linux core is also undergoing a small update, so it may be improved in terms of performance and stability. Donut also makes the use of CDMA networks possible, which will benefit American telecom service providers that use the system.

According to rumors on the internet, donut will be carried on a real mobile phone as soon as next week. Vodafone seems to have confirmed this through its user forum, and reminds customers that this update is from
Google is not limited to telecom service providers. Does this mean that the HTC hero Cell provided by T-Mobile and orange will also receive this update? We are very interested to know.
