Available at this link, the Tips and Tricks mini-site goes through a bunch of various troubleshooting categories.

A Featured section is the first one to load up, showing you solutions to common problems like accessing photos, changing the phone’s wallpaper, using voice to navigate the device, or using battery saving mode to extend battery life.

Aside from the featured section, there are seven other categories, each containing a few tips and tricks, including Privacy and Security, Voice, Camera and Photo, Battery, Customization, More Apps, and Settings.

The tips are presented using a card-like interface, with each card listing a particular problem, and the steps required to mitigate it. Clicking on Learn more inside the card brings up a pop-up window that contains the step-by-step information you need.

Most smartphone users are probably aware of many of these tips and tricks, but the site is still a resource worth remembering in case you can’t find a solution for your problem on your Android device. The best thing you could do with it is to forward it to your parents if they’re rocking Android devices. They might annoy you less with Android help requests after that.
