This guide introduces the Android 4.4 software available on Nexus and Google Play edition mobile devices. It doesn't describe hardware details such as SIM card instructions, battery information, specs and so on. For comprehensive information about all types of Android phones and tablets, including more details about Nexus and Google Play edition devices, visit support.google.com/android. Set up your device When you first turn on your phone or tablet, you’ll see a Welcome screen. Choose the language that you want and touch Start or the Start icon. IMPORTANT: To complete the setup process, you must have a Wi-Fi or mobile Internet connection. ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 1 When prompted, you can sign in with your Google Account or create one at that time. You can also choose to skip this step and create one later. An email address that you use for any of the following counts as a Google Account: • Gmail • YouTube • Google Apps • AdWords • Any other Google product When you sign in with a Google Account, all the email, contacts, Calendar events and other data associated with that account are automatically synced with your device. If you have more than one Android device, they are all kept in sync. For example, if you change a friend’s phone number on your phone, that change also appears on your tablet and on any computers where you’re logged in to your Google Account. If you have multiple Google Accounts, you can add others later from Settings > Accounts > Add account. Make yourself at home After you finish setting up your device, the Home screen appears for the first time: • To move between Home screens, swipe left or right. • To use Google Now, swipe up from the bottom of the screen or, on some Google Play edition devices, press and hold the Home button. On Nexus 5, you can also swipe to the leftmost Home screen. ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 2 • To send an SMS message from a phone, use Hangouts. • From the Home screen, say “Ok Google” to search your phone or the Internet and start telling Google what to do (Nexus 5 only). Or touch Google at the top of the screen to do the same thing. On brand new devices, you may also see your Google Play library widget on one of your Home screens. This widget displays some of the Google Play content that you already own or that’s available in your library for free. Touch the item that you want to view or play, or touch the categories to explore. ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 3 Get around At the bottom of every Home screen you’ll find the Favourites tray: another quick way to get to your apps. Here’s what it looks like on a Nexus 7. To open an app, touch it. To drag an app in or out of the Favourites tray or anywhere else on a Home screen, touch & hold it, then move it with your finger into position. Nexus navigation buttons At the bottom of every Nexus screen, no matter what you’re doing, you’ll always find the navigation bar with three buttons: Back Opens the previous screen you were working in, even if it was in a different app. Once you back up to the Home screen, you can’t go back any further. Home Opens the central Home screen. To open Google Now, swipe up. Recent apps Opens a list of thumbnail images of apps you’ve worked with recently. To open an app, touch it. To remove a thumbnail from the list, swipe it left or right. ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 4 Some apps hide these buttons temporarily or fade them to small dots in the same position. To bring them back, touch the dots, touch the screen in the middle or swipe up from the bottom. Google Play edition navigation buttons Some Google Play edition devices have two or three physical buttons just below the screen: • Menu: This button opens options relating to the screen you’re on. • Home: Opens Home. If you’re viewing a left or right Home screen, the main Home screen opens. To open Google Now, touch & hold this button. • Back: Opens the previous screen that you were working in, even if it was in a different app. Once you back up to the Home screen, you can’t go back any further in your history. Menus Many screens in apps and Settings include either a Menu icon (for example, on Nexus devices) or items in the permanent Menu button at the bottom of the screen (on some Google Play edition devices). Touch it to explore additional options, including help. Organise your Home screens To change the wallpaper for your Home screens, touch & hold the background. ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 5 To add an app icon to a Home screen: 1. Go to the Home screen where you want to place the app. 2. Touch the All Apps icon. 3. Swipe from right to left, if necessary, to find the app that you want. 4. Touch & hold the app until the Home screen appears, slide it into place and lift your finger. NEXUS 5 TIPS: The Home screens on Nexus 5 work differently from Home screens on the other Nexus devices. • To change your wallpaper, add a widget, adjust Search settings or change screen order, touch & hold the background of any Home screen. • You can have any number of Home screens to the right. To add one, swipe to the rightmost screen and drag an app or widget to the right edge. • The screen to the left of the main Home screen is reserved for Google Now and is available only when Google Now is turned on. To add a widget to the Home screen on a Nexus 4, 7 or 10, follow the same steps, and keep swiping right through the All Apps screens to find the widget that you want. On Nexus 5, touch & hold the background of any Home screen to reveal the widgets control. To move an app or widget to another position: 1. Touch & hold the icon. 2. Slide your finger to the new position. ANDROID QUICK START GUIDE WELCOME TO ANDROID 6 To move between Home screens, slide towards the edge of the screen. To bump another icon out of the way, slide slowly into it. 3. Lift your finger. To create a folder, slide one icon quickly over another. To name or rename a folder, open it and touch its name. Touch & type To select or activate something, touch it. To type something, such as a name, password or search terms, just touch where you want to type. A keyboard pops up that lets you type into the field. Other common gestures include: • Touch & hold. Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until it responds. For example, this is how you access accents and other special characters on the keyboard. • Touch, hold & drag. Touch & hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.

  • PDF a Parent and Carer's Guide to Google Safesearch and Youtube Safety Mode
    A parent and carer’s guide to Google SafeSearch and YouTube Safety Mode Google is the most used search engine in the world and users can type in a word, expression, phrase or sentence in more than 100 languages and receive instant results in text, images or videos. YouTube is ranked as the world second largest search engine, with over 1 billion users that each day watch a billion hours of videos. With limited ways to control content, the Google and YouTube platforms can be challenge for parents and carers because there are hundreds of thousands of videos, images and other content that may not be considered appropriate for children or young people. This article explains why it may be useful to filter search results on Google and YouTube and how parents and carers can engage safety settings on these two platforms. Please note – the weblinks in this document are only available in English language. Is Google content appropriate for children and young people? A Google query lasts less than half a second, however there are many more steps involved before a final result is provided. This video from Google illustrates exactly how a Google search works. When Google realized that the results of an unfiltered Google search contained content that is not always appropriate for children, Google then developed SafeSearch so that children could safely find documents, images, and videos within the Google database. Is YouTube content appropriate for children and young people? Google purchased YouTube in 2006 with the idea that YouTube would provide a marketing hub as more viewers and advertisers chose the Internet over television.

  • Hacking the Master Switch? the Role of Infrastructure in Google's
    Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s by John Harris Stevenson A thesis submitteD in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by John Harris Stevenson 2017 Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s John Harris Stevenson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract During most of the decade of the 2000s, global Internet company Google Inc. was one of the most prominent public champions of the notion of network neutrality, the network design principle conceived by Tim Wu that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by network operators. However, in 2010, following a series of joint policy statements on network neutrality with telecommunications giant Verizon, Google fell nearly silent on the issue, despite Wu arguing that a neutral Internet was vital to Google’s survival. During this period, Google engaged in a massive expansion of its services and technical infrastructure. My research examines the influence of Google’s systems and service offerings on the company’s approach to network neutrality policy making. Drawing on documentary evidence and network analysis data, I identify Google’s global proprietary networks and server locations worldwide, including over 1500 Google edge caching servers located at Internet service providers. ii I argue that the affordances provided by its systems allowed Google to mitigate potential retail and transit ISP gatekeeping. Drawing on the work of Latour and Callon in Actor– network theory, I posit the existence of at least one actor-network formed among Google and ISPs, centred on an interest in the utility of Google’s edge caching servers and the success of the Android operating system.
