I have an Evo LTE phone, and an Acer Iconia A500. (No, I'm not an Apple girl.) For this thing, I just concentrated on my phone, since I tend to use it more throughout the day. I didn't find too much that I wasn't already using, but there are a few things I did explore and will probably play with a little more.
The camera has different settings to use when taking a picture; I hadn't been aware of the HDR mode. This basically takes two photos, one with flash, one without, and combines the best of each into one composite. I did notice you have to hold very still for this to work - that, or your subject does. (I will have to inform my cats about this. I'm sure they'll cooperate.) I will most likely play with that some more to find the tweaks I can do to it. Similarly, there are effects that can be added to photos in the gallery as well, although I doubt that I would use them very much. I had forgotten the trick of tapping what I want to focus on, so I'll use that more often.
I had also forgotten some other things: for instance, about the two finger swipe, which, in the contacts list, allows me to scroll by letter, or in the photo gallery, by date. I can also silence the ringing phone by turning it down upon its face. Very handy.
I've also started using the voice dictation for texts more often - it's been quite accurate so far. It's handy to use that when my hands are full!
