How do I clear my cache/browsing history?
Hi guys
I just got my phone yesterday and just love it but I am new to Android and haven't a clue how to clear cookies etc.
I read that you go into settings and then applications, well I can't see a heading with applications on there so can anyone help me sort this out
but please explain in very SIMPLE terms :)
Also does anyone use the power saving on the battery?
I just don't know what settings to use/turn off etc :)
Thanks
Andy

Power saving mode is cool but slows down your cpu and performance just slightly. I think the note 2 is quad core so I doubt you'll notice the difference significantly. Go into settings in the browser and I think it's in security, then it should have an option to clear everything or individual browsing history and cookies. If u go into applications and clear all data, it will delete all saved passwords and all data from the browser. If u don't want that then just go with the first option. Hope that helps.

Thanks very much for taking the time to help I won't use the power saving then :) I have clicked on settings and then security but there is no option in there to clear cache, also I can see applications manager but no heading saying applications I haven't downloaded any apps yet as I wouldn't have a clue what i need to get anyway :) I told you I was new to Androind!

Go into settings then privacy and security. Top two choices, clear history, cache. This is for stock browser.

Open the browser first, then tap the menu button at the bottom of the phone on the left. A menu appears and one of the options is settings. The privacy/security options will then show when you choose that.
This menu is specifically for the browser.

He kept saying he was new to Android but not a total virgin... Sheesh! I didn't realize I had to be that specific but you handled it.

Thanks chaps it worked and I do apologise as I didn't realise you meant the button on the actual phone on the left
