Top 10 Tips And Tricks For Samsung Galaxy S4
Top 10 Tips And Tricks For Samsung Galaxy S4
provided by
Samsung released their Galaxy S4 smartphone late last month and given that users are still in the process of exploring how the device works and discovering new functionalities, we have compiled a list of tips and tricks that will improve the experience for users.
1. Make the battery last longer
Although it is not a new trick, there are ways to make the battery of the S4 last a little longer, allowing users to squeeze a bit more juice out of it. In the settings, there is an option for Power Saver. Enabling this modet will limit the maximum performance of the CPU, use low power levels for the screen and turn off the haptic feedback. Each of these functions can be turned on or off individually, but acting together, users will be able to get a couple of extra hours out of it. Also, when not in a Wi-Fi, make sure to turn it off, as well as the NFC and Bluetooth.
2. Safety assistance
With Africa being a rather dangerous place, having a mobile phone in an emergency situation could prove vital. The Galaxy S4 has a handy application that will help users in just such a situation, and it is called Safety Assistance in the My Device menu. What the app does is in the event of an emergency situation, a message will be sent to up to four different contacts. By pressing the Volume Up and Down buttons simultaneously for three seconds, the phone will take a photo with the front and back camera. It will then send these images as well as your location to the four pre-determined contacts. Users will also be able to edit the emergency message that will be sent along with the images, as well as message intervals.
3. Easy Home screen
Having a new toy to play with is always exciting, but it can also be a bit daunting to explore all the options. Samsung has built in a handy setting for the Home Screen offering users the choice of a simplified version. Easy Mode enables larger icons making life a lot easier for first-time smartphone users.
4. Music by the mood
Music plays a large part in the lives of many smartphone users and Samsung has an option to play songs that suit every mood. In the Music app, users can scroll over to the Music Square option and Samsung will arrange songs in a grid form, making them available for pre-selection by users. This works well with a large library, and some of the moods include Exciting, Joyful, Calm and Passionate.
5. Take pictures without pressing a button
As part of Samsung’s innovative drive to include more options and improvements, the S4 features a whole suit of voice-activated functions. As part of this, users will be able to take pictures without touching the screen. When Voice Control is activated, users will be able to take photos by only saying Cheese or Shoot. It takes a short while for the phone to register that a command has been initiated, but it takes images rather stunningly none the less.
6. Keep track of what you eat
Apart from music, health is also an important aspect for many smartphone users. The S4 comes pre-installed with S-Health, a new app that allows users to keep track of calories burnt during exercise, and the calorie intake menu allows users to keep track of what they have eaten, as well as measure their calorie intake. When connected to the internet, users will be able to find a vast number of local dishes for input, such as Steers and Wimpy meals.
7. Screen grabs made easy
Often users would like to take a screen shot of their phone for any number of reasons – be it a game highscore, internet speed or a message. There are a number of ways in which users can take a screen shots easily, but it is not something that is widely publicized. The easiest way of doing it (which was also possible with the S3), is to swipe across the whole screen with the side of the users hand. This will automatically take a screen shot and place it in the Gallery. The other way is to press and hold the home button and the power button down at the same time.
8. Translations in a flash
Going to a foreign country with a different official language could pose a challenge to many travellers. While connected to the internet, the translation app called S Translator can translate text and spoken word from 10 different languages, including French, Spanish, German and even Japanese. All that users need to do is input the desired phrase, select the languages for translation, and watch the magic happen.
9. Open two different apps on the same screen
Every so often, users want to open two different apps at the same time in the same window. Up until now, it has not exactly been possible (until Samsung’s OS update rolled it out to the S3), but the S4 now has the Multi Window functionality built in. To activate the Multi Window, touch and hold the Back key. From the tray, drag an app icon onto the screen to open it. To open a second app, drag it over the open app and drop it in the right or left side of the split-screen display. Resize the app windows by dragging the slider bar between them. The Multi Window tray will also give users quick access to other apps, instead of having to go through the menus.
10. Make TouchWiz go faster
Samsung makes use of the TouchWiz interface (its the way the operating system overlay looks and feels), but while it is pretty responsive straight out of the gate, users will be able to squeeze a bit more performance out of it. By enabling the Developer Tools (by going to About Phone and tapping BUILD NUMBER for 7 times), users will see the option to turn off Windows animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale. While it reduces some of the fancy animations during screen transitions, TouchWiz will be a lot faster and more responsive.iOS 7: what to expect
iOS 7: what to expect
Rex- Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off on 10 June and among the things we expect to see unveiled is iOS 7, the latest edition of the operating system for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently revealed that iOS 7 could be a drastic departure from the iOS we’re used to, with Apple’s British-born design chief Sir Jony Ive taking the helm and steering the user interface and look away from skeuomorphism and taking a more minimalist approach. “What is skeuomorphism?” we hear you cry. Well, on the digital front it’s a design approach that incorporates the look of real-life materials and textures as a way to add familiarity. In the case of iOS, this means on-screen buttons and sliders that appear to be made from shiny metal, Game Center’s green baize table or the calendar’s liberal use of leather. How might Apple reinvent iOS? Read on and find out.... (Please note, a lot of the images used in this gallery are concept designs and not official shots of iOS 7)
imjeanmarc- Also rumoured to be getting the flat black and white treatment is the iOS notifications panel, which currently rocks a skeuomorphic cloth-textured background. This will be replaced by a flat black or dark grey panel with white text. Again (assuming the sources are correct) the digital metaphors and shininess are being stripped out in favour of something much flatter and arguably cleaner: think Windows Phone, with its flat, colour-block tiles. There’s also a chance we’ll see a lot of extra interactivity built into the notifications panel, and more access to information at a glance. So there might be weather info and localised news feeds included – a little like the notification bar widgets on Android. There may also be a panel to quickly let users access Wi-Fi and Bluetooth controls, and to toggle Airplane Mode on and off.
ConceptsiPhone- The iPhone’s icon-mosaic of a home screen is undoubtedly iconic – so much so that it spawned a thousand rip-offs and almost as many lawsuits – and Apple isn’t likely to change its layout too drastically in iOS 7. According to 9to5Mac, it’s again the gloss that’s going as Ive and co seek to impress a uniform visual flatness across everything. Shine and shadows are being removed from the dock at the foot of the screen, and also from Apple’s own app icons like Camera, Photos and Clock. But in most respects the Home screen will look similar and work similarly to its current incarnation. One other thing picked up on in 9to5Mac’s report is panoramic backgrounds. You’ll apparently be able to set panoramic images as your wallpaper (we assume Apple will include some of their own photos too) and have the image scroll left to right as you swipe through the various home screens.
Corbis- Previous iOS updates have added deeper Facebook and Twitter integration into the mix, and iOS 7 is reportedly set to continue this trend, albeit with slightly less popular social networks. According to a few outlets, Flickr and Vimeo are getting the integration treatment, allowing iOS 7 users to sign into these networks using their iPhone or iPad’s Settings application. Users will be able to share photos stored on taken on their devices directly to Flickr, and most likely share photos taken in third-party apps like Instagram directly to Flickr with a single button press. Any Vimeo integration seems likely to work in the same way, by allowing video clips on an iDevice to be uploaded easily to the site – much as they can already be shared directly to YouTube

EX2F WiFi camera
EX2F WiFi camera
12 megapixel Samsung EX2F
The Samsung EX2F camera combines a number of features which deliver incredible picture quality in all conditions. With the advanced F1.4 24mm lens, the camera delivers clear images and video even in very low light conditions. These are easily controlled using the professional front wheel key and Dual Dials, which enable switching between parameters and modes quickly for greater manual control. The low-light capabilities of the Samsung EX2F are also added to by the 1/1.7” 12 Megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, which delivers clear, blur-free images. Providing quality and creativity, 1080 / 30p Full HD Movie Recording with stereo sound allows users to capture video in high enough quality to enjoy on a Full HD TV. The Samsung EX2F WiFi camera also allows still 12 Megapixel photos and video to be captured simultaneously using the Dual Capture feature, so that any scene can be shot as both photo and video.
The Samsung EX2F’s F1.4 24mm wide-angle lens is approximately four times as bright as a F2.8 camera lens. A further development is that the lens unit now consists of eleven elements in nine groups, with four aspherical lenses and two high refractive lenses. Combined, these provide a 20% increase in the amount of light on the sensor, a 20% increase in image quality and a 10% increase in zoom ratio. The lens on the Samsung EX2F also incorporates a Neutral Density (ND) filter, giving the user greater control over exposure time in different conditions and making photos appear more neutral in situations of over-exposure. The Samsung EX2F digital camera also allows for shooting at a very shallow depth of field, so users can isolate their subjects from backgrounds to create stunning portraits. To make bright images clearer, the Samsung EX2F also includes Dual IS (OIS and DIS) to minimize the effect of shaking - particularly useful in low-light situations.
Samsung EX2F offers complete manual control
Housed in a sleek yet durable body, more commonly found on DSLR models, the Samsung EX2F smart camera combines high-end image quality with convenience and speed. For those accustomed to the level of creative control on DSLRs, the Samsung EX2F allows for shooting in RAW mode for professional standard pictures. The Samsung EX2F also encompasses Full Manual Control as well as Aperture and Shutter Priority modes. The Dual Dial and front wheel keys also allow users to quickly and easily adjust exposure for effortless pro-style control. This is all combined into a body that is compact and light, making it possible to carry the camera anywhere for spontaneous shots without having to carry a weighty DSLR.
3" Swivel AMOLED display on the Samsung EX2F
The Samsung EX2F integrates a 3.0" Swivel AMOLED display that is perfect for lining up great shots and viewing them under any light conditions - and does so whilst consuming little battery power. The AMOLED screen responds swiftly and displays images in high contrast, while the swivel display allows picture-taking from low and high angles - even self-portraits. The screen of the Samsung EX2F also incorporates Samsung’s Smart Panel user interface, which integrates all parameters into one display for easy control over the end result.
Share pictures with the Samsung EX2F WiFi camera
The Samsung EX2F is the latest in Samsung’s Smart Camera range of WiFi enabled cameras, which provide a combination of high-quality imaging paired with connectivity. Wi-Fi enables the secure storage of images through Auto Backup to a PC or saving to the Cloud. In addition, sharing to social networking sites such as Facebook or Picasa is easy. The Samsung EX2F’s Mobile Link opens doors for connectivity with smartphones, without even having to resize images or video. Users can also access the Remote Viewfinder to use their smartphone’s screen to frame shots from a variety of angles. Through the Smart Link button, all these functions can be accessed with one touch for simplified sharing and storage.
