Force-Kill Apps With the Back Button In Android

In Settings > Applications > Development, there’s an option called “Stop app via long-

press”, which, when checked, allows you to force-kill the current foreground application 

by long-pressing the back button. Useful if you frequently use an app that’s a bit flaky, 

but watch out: some apps use a long-press of the back button as a shortcut for another 

feature (for example, it shows the History in the default browser).

Use Lockscreen Gestures In Android

You can enable lockscreen gestures that let you quickly jump to an app or perform a task

Hide the Keyboard In Android Phone

You can almost always toggle the keyboard by long-pressing the Menu key. On Ice 
Cream Sandwich, this won’t work, but most keyboards let you dismiss them by swiping 
down within them. (One exception is Swype, for obvious reasons.)
Why would you want to do this? Well, sometimes text fields trigger the keyboard when 
you don’t want it covering half of the screen, and sometimes the keyboard doesn’t 
automatically appear when you do want it
– this often happens with web pages that require text input, but don’t have any text 
boxes.

Alternative Symbols in Android Keyboard.

Some keys can display more than one symbol: you can long-press the key and swipe 

over one of the symbols that pops up to insert it. For example, long-tap “c” and you can 

insert a “รง”. On the default keyboard (and some others), the letters that hide extra 

symbols have an ellipsis (“…”) in the corner.

Quickly Switch Keyboard in WHatsApp

Instead of diving through the Settings menu to switch keyboard, you can do it from 

within any app: just long-press a text field and tap “Input method”, then choose your 

new keyboard from the list.

Resize Your Widgets IN Whatsapp.


For widgets that support resizing, you can long-press the widget on your home screen 

to 

make controls appear; drag these to change the width and height

Change Default Apps in WhatApp

inSettings > Manage Applications, then tap Clear Defaults.
This also applies to launchers. If you want to try another one, then remove your current 
selection as the default; whenever you press Home it’ll let you choose between all the 
launchers you have installed, until you select a new default
