MAKE YOUR UNEXPANDABLE PHONES EXPANDABLE

MAKE YOUR UNEXPANDABLE PHONES EXPANDABLE

The HTC One? Nice phone, no question. But it's lacking a key feature: a microSD expansion slot.

That's a bummer, as expandability has long been one of the big advantages of an Android phone over an iPhone. (The other is a removable battery, which the One also lacks, but that's a topic for another day.) Does that mean owners of slotless Android phones like this one are stuck with a fixed amount of storage?

Not necessarily. Thanks to a USB specification called USB On-the-Go (OTG for short), you can add more storage just by plugging in a flash drive. Well, OK, there's a little more to it than that. Here's how to expand an "unexpandable" Android phone.

To connect a flash drive to your Android device, you'll need an inexpensive USB OTG cable.

Step one: Because you can't plug a full-size USB flash drive into a microUSB port, you'll need an adapter cable -- specifically a USB OTG cable. You can find these for as little as $5, sometimes less, on Amazon and eBay. Here's one that, is selling for $4.76. (Impossibly, it ships from Hong Kong, meaning it could take a couple weeks to arrive. But how does that price even cover shipping costs?!)

Step two: Fill a flash drive with music, videos, photos, documents, and/or other media you'll want to access on your device. The USB OTG solution is particularly great for bringing extra music and movies on a trip, especially if you're already low on on-device storage.

If your device supports USB OTG right out of the box, it should be a plug-and-play exercise.

Step three: Plug the flash drive into the USB OTG cable, then plug the cable into your phone's Micro-USB port. With luck, the phone will immediately jump into USB host mode, which is exactly what happens with my Verizon HTC One. From there I was able to fire up Gallery, Music, and other apps that support external storage, and use them to play videos, listen to songs, open files, and so on. If, however, nothing happens, read on.

Freeware utility Kingo Root can handle the chore if your device needs rooting for USB OTG.

Step four (if necessary): Not all Android devices come with the necessary USB OTG drivers. Does that mean you're out of luck? Not if you're willing to root your phone or tablet. Visit Kingo Android Root is a free app that can make short work of the rooting process on most devices.

Step five (if necessary): Now install an Android app that allows external drives to be "mounted" (i.e. visible to the operating system). One popular choice: USB OTG Helper. Run the app, then plug in your USB OTG cable with the already-connected flash drive. Now you should be able to access the drive in the same ways described above.

Unfortunately, there's no guarantee any of this will work on your device; your best bet is trial and error, though you could also do some googling to see if others have had USB OTG success with a particular model. For what it's worth, I wasn't able to get a rooted Virgin Mobile Supreme to recognize my flash drive -- though it wasn't really necessary given that that phone has a Micro-USB slot.

On the flipside, if you do get everything working, or have a model like the HTC One, you can also connect a variety of other USB devices, including keyboards and even game controllers.

• Opera Browser: The No. 1 for data savings made the first on our list for android, "Do more online with Opera for Android," is Opera's slogan, and with more than 50 million installs from the Play Store, it appears as the best that many believe in it. But it's Opera’s data-saving features that really set it apart from other android browsers. Opera can compress videos when viewing on mobile, so they use up less of your data (but still provide a great viewing experience), in addition to saving a few bytes when viewing regular pages. It's not the fastest browser but once a page opens you almost always get the whole of the page at once; there's no waiting around for extra images to load. Opera's browsing experience is often hailed as one of the fastest across all platforms, and on Android that experience is well worth experiencing for yourself.

• CM Browser: CM browser is my number two web browser because of its over all intelligence and capability. This browser have served me for a long time as I can use it to do virtually everything on the web with Simple clicks and with its easy to use user interface. CM is the acronym for Clean Master. The Browser is an ultra lightweight mobile browser which can protect you from virus effects, Malware and security threats and still give you rapid browsing speed.

• Chrome: As an Android user, there's a good chance you already know about Chrome. It probably came as a pre-loaded app on your phone, unless you've had your Android phone for a little while or you just didn't notice it. Google's Chrome for Android is a powerful extension of the Chrome browser for Windows, and one of its best features is the ability to sync your browser tabs from one device to another, making it so you can be looking something up on your laptop and pull it up on your phone when you're out and about. If you're an Android 5.0+ user, Chrome for Android can also split out its tabs as individual windows so they look like their own apps in the app switching interface. It's also pretty great at navigating the web, offering a great mix of fast mobile-friendly experiences and full desktop browser capabilities depending on the needs at hand, and includes settings for data conservation and an incognito mode for browsing sites you don't want to be tracked or logged through. As far as decent all-around browsers go, you're unlikely to need too much more than Chrome.   

• UC Browser: Fourth on our list is the venerable UC Browser. This is one of the most popular browsers on the Google Play Store and one of the few that targets people outside of the United States which is surprisingly refreshing. It comes with a bunch of features, including ad-block, data compression, night mode, and gesture control. There are also some unique features, like Facebook mode which magically increases browsing speeds while on Facebook. It’s completely free to use and rocks a 4.5 rating on the Google Play Store with over seven million reviews to date. That’s impressive!

• Mozilla Firefox: The last on our list is Mozilla, though the folks at Mozilla pride themselves on offering products that represent the purest possible form of the Open Web. They try to rely on standards across everything they do, and shy away from anything and everything proprietary. Their browsing platform, Firefox, has always existed as an extension of those beliefs. Firefox for Android tries to take that experience and make it uniquely mobile. Mozilla's feature set for mobile Firefox is fairly standard stuff. Privacy features keep you from being tracked but don't keep you from being served ads, you can sync with Desktop Firefox if you're a fan of that experience on your other computer. It's a great overall experience, and a perfect example of how a simple touch interface can be great.
