Huawei S7 Useful Tweaks and Tips

[KevinB77]

I am desperate to know if this device has an automatic accelerometer? Can someone who has this device please fill me in. I am really looking to use it as an e-reader for comics.

New myself to S7 and Androids. Mine will auto switch from land to prot if that is what you mean. Will only rotate 90 though not full 360.

As far as I know, yes it has an accerlometer. What that has to do with reading comics I really don't know.

Reading anything type of print like a book or a comic is odd in landscape mode. I prefer the old fashioned up and down look.

I've been using it as a reader quite a bit, both for RSS feeds and for books. Absolutely rotates from from landscape to portrait mode. And I agree, I prefer to read in portrait mode.

Kindle for Android can lock itself in Portrait or Landscape. When you tilt the S7 so the screen in Kindle rotates, a small padlock appears for a few moments in the lower right corner (if I remember correctly), tapping this will make the screen stick. I am too a "portrait guy" and use Kindle in bed, laying on my side reading. Works great.
I also think there's a global setting under Settings->Display about auto rotate, disabling this while in portrait mode should also probably do the trick, but I don't have my S7 here to check (only my Desire Z with Froyo, which has this option).

Aldiko bookreader is absolutely fabulous! Comes with the device. Also, using Calibre e-book converter, can converter all my old lit, pdf, txt books, over to epub and the read very well on the device. I'm rapped!

Memory Booster Lite
Battery Booster Lite
Advanced Task Killer Pro
Launcher Pro (Home Screen)

Does the trick on everything I've tested.
It might be less than 200MB free. Like 140MB to 90MB or less
