Nasveti za baterije

Varčujte z baterijo s pametnejšim Wi-Fi

Če je vaš Wi-Fi nastavljen tako, da prekine povezavo, ko je zaslon izklopljen, morda mislite, da varčujete z baterijo. Temu ni tako. Večina od nas vklopi zaslon v povprečju 150-krat na dan, zato je ohranjanje povezave Wi-Fi dejansko boljše, kot da ga izklopimo in vklopimo ter nato vsakič iščemo povezave. Pojdite vNastavitve> Wi-Fi , tapnite mehko tipko menija in nato Napredno in nastavite Ohrani Wi-Fi vklopljen med spanjem na Vedno .

Doljša življenjska doba baterije

Galaxy S4 nima standardnega načina Android Lollipop Battery Saver, ima pa Samsungov način varčevanja z energijo. Pojdite v Nastavitve> Moja naprava> Način varčevanja z energijo in obrnite stikalo, da ga omogočite. Deluje tako, da onemogoči določene funkcije, da ohrani življenjsko dobo baterije. V nastavitvah lahko izberete, katere funkcije bodo to.

Onemogočite nesmiselne trike

Samsung je bil vedno znan – vsaj do nedavnega – po tem, da je svoje telefone opremil z nekaterimi občasno manj uporabnimi funkcijami. Nekatere od teh funkcij so privzeto omogočene in nenehno črpajo energijo baterije in procesorja, da delujejo, tudi če jih nikoli ne uporabljate. Zakaj jih ne bi izklopili, če niste tip za kretnje? Pojdite v Nastavitve> Gibanja in poteze in izklopite funkcije, ki jih ne želite. Enako velja za Smart Screen in Air View.

Prikaži nasvete

Vedno dobite najboljši zaslon

Ena najboljših lastnosti zaslonov Samsung je, da se prilagajajo različnim pogojem, tako da vedno dobite najboljšo možno izkušnjo gledanja, ne glede na to, ali berete, gledate fotografije ali gledate film. Pojdite v Nastavitve> Moja naprava> Zaslon> Način zaslona in izberitePrilagodi zaslon ali preverite druge možnosti.

Aktivirajte Smart stay

Smart stay uporablja sprednjo kamero vašega telefona, da zazna, ali gledate v zaslon ali ne, in poskrbi, da zaslon ostane vključen, dokler gledate vanj. To je super, če želite imeti kratko časovno omejitev zaslona, ​​hkrati pa tudi veliko brati v telefonu.

Če želite aktivirati Smart stay, pojdite na Nastavitve > Moja naprava> Pametni zaslon in pritisnite Pametno ostani .

Nasveti za programsko opremo

Onemogočite S Voice za hitrejšo navigacijo

S Voice lahko zaženete tako, da dvakrat pritisnete tipko Domov na S4. Ta bližnjica dejansko upočasni odziv tipke Domov. TouchWiz se bo po prvem pritisku za trenutek ustavil, da preveri, ali ga boste pritisnili še drugič, nato pa vas popelje na začetni zaslon. Pojdite na S Voice, pritisnite menijsko tipko, izberite Nastavitve in počistite polje zraven Odpri s tipko Domov za hitrejšo navigacijo s tipko Domov.

Zaščitite svoja obvestila na zaklenjenem zaslonu

Lollipop ima obvestila na zaklenjenem zaslonu, kar pomeni, da vam ni treba popolnoma odkleniti telefona samo zato, da preberete besedilo ali e-pošto. Kljub temu se morda ne boste počutili prijetno, če imate vsebino svojih obvestil polepljene po celem zaslonu, da jo lahko vidi ves svet. Če ga imate, pojdite na Nastavitve> Moja naprava> Zvoki in obvestila . V Obvestilih aplikacij lahko izberete, katere aplikacije bodo prikazovale vsebino na zaklenjenem zaslonu in raven vsebine v Ko je zaklenjeno .

Izklopite nadležne zvoke Samsung

Ko ste že pri tem, zakaj ne bi izklopili nekaterih nadležnih Samsungovih zvokov? Tudi če so vam všeč, vam lahko zagotovim, da jih vsi na vlaku, v službi in v supermarketu sovražijo. Torej, naredite svetu uslugo:pojdite na Nastavitve> Moja naprava> Zvoki in obvestila> Drugi zvoki in počistite polja za toliko zvokov, brez katerih lahko živite.

Prilagodite zaklenjeni zaslon

Ne zadovoljite se z dolgočasnim starim zaklenjenim zaslonom, dodajte bližnjico kamere in klicalnika, izberite uro ali zasebno sporočilo in ga popestrite z ozadjem po meri. Pojdite v Nastavitve> Moja naprava> Zaklenjen zaslon in potrdite polje za kamero, nato pa prilagodite pripomočke na zaklenjenem zaslonu.

Napolnite svoj fotoaparat

Namestite aplikacijo Samsung Smart Camera in povežite telefon s fotoaparatom z NFC za hitrejši prenos fotografij, uporabite telefon kot oddaljeno iskalo (pozdravljeni, selfie palice!) in več. Najboljše od vsega pa je, da se bo fotoaparat samodejno povezal z vašim telefonom, ko bo vklopljen.

Prilagodite hitre nastavitve

Zakaj bi se zadovoljili s standardnimi hitrimi nastavitvami, ko pa lahko pripravite serijo najbolj uporabnih preklopov in stikal po meri za vaš način uporabe telefona? Lahko jih celo uredite točno tako, kot želite. Povlecite navzdol z vrha zaslona, ​​tapnite majhno mrežo v zgornjem desnem kotu in nato majhen svinčnik za urejanje, nato pa preuredite hitre nastavitve.

Naredite varnost pametnejšo

Zakaj bi želeli telefon odkleniti s kodo PIN ali vzorcem, ko ste doma, kjer lahko (upam) zaupate vsem? Tu pride na vrsto Lollipopova kul funkcija Smart Lock. Lahko si prihranite težave pri odklepanju telefona na določenih mestih, tako da dodate zaupanja vreden obraz ali glas ali pametno uro ali drugo zaupanja vredno napravo.

Uporabi način Ne moti

Druga odlična funkcija Lollipop so prednostna obvestila, znana tudi kot Ne moti način. Omogoča vam nastavitev ur, da vas ne bodo motili, razen za najbolj pomembna obvestila ali alarme. Klice svoje družine in šefa lahko shranite na beli seznam, nastavite dneve in ure v tednu ter izbirate med klici, sporočili in koledarskimi opomniki. Pojdite v Nastavitve> Moja naprava> Zvoki in obvestila> Prekinitve in se zaposliti - ali ne.

Uporabite bližnjice za klicanje ali pošiljanje sporočil stikom

Why use messy menu buttons when a single gesture will suffice? In your contacts list you can simply swipe someone's name to the left or right to instantly call or message them. Now you can stay in touch more easily and save time while you're doing it.

Always get the best photo

Let's face it, not all of us are Pulitzer Prize-winning photographers. So when a moment really maters, why not shoot a burst of pics and then have your S4 choose the best one for you? Just open the camera app, tap Mode and Best Photo . Hold down the shutter to shoot a bunch of pics and let your phone automatically choose the best one.

Enjoy Silent Mode

The Galaxy S4 is one of the few devices to enjoy true Silent Mode, even on Lollipop. You can go to Settings> My Device> Sounds and Notifications> Interruptions> Sound Mode> Mute or you can use the toggle in the Quick Settings to switch from sound to vibrate to mute.

Get a custom sound profile

If you have very discerning ears, or simply like to have complete control over what comes out of the device you use to speak to people, why not get a custom sound profile? Go to Settings> My Device> Sounds and Notifications> Adapt Sound . Put in some headphones, tap Start and then follow the prompts.

Tricks

Make the keyboard smarter

If you're using the stock Samsung keyboard, make sure you have both predictive text and swipe typing enabled.You'll be amazed at how much time they can save you. Go to the keyboard and long press the button to the left of the space bar. Tap the Settings cog and make sure Predictive Text is on, and that Keyboard Swipe is set to Continuous Input . You could also replace the keyboard with SwiftKey or another keyboard app.

Try the floating keyboard

Depending on what you're doing, a smaller, floating keyboard might be more suitable. This neat little feature doesn't lock your keyboard to the bottom of the screen. Go to the keyboard, long press the button to the left of the space bar and tap the tile with the two overlapping boxes. Your keyboard will shrink a little and then be movable.

Make Chrome easier and better

Chrome on Lollipop is a little annoying. By default your Chrome tabs will live individually in your recent apps list (accessed by long pressing the home button). If you prefer the old way – all your tabs contained in Chrome itself – go to Chrome, tap the three dots in the top right-hand corner, select Settings and turn off Merge Tabs and Apps .

Make things simpler with Easy Mode

If you're a bit bamboozled by all the Samsung widgets and doodads in TouchWiz, give Easy Mode a shot instead. It'll clear things up. This way you'll only see the most important stuff, as well as enlarge icons and make everything easier for you to manage and navigate. Go to Settings> My Device> Easy Mode to make the switch.

Get lazy with Hands-Free Mode

If don't want to miss any incoming messages or notifications, and your hands are otherwise engaged, why not use the Galaxy S4's Hands-Free Mode? Incoming calls, messages and notifications will be read out to you, so you always know what's going on. Go to Settings> My Device> Hands-Free Mode and flip the switch. Tapping the entry will let you choose what is possible.

Use your phone to control the TV

Download the Peel Smart Remote app and use it to set up your TV guide, favorite channels, control your TV and set-top box, and plenty more. You can even put it on your lock screen or the notifications shade to make sure you're always the couch commando.

Use your voice for hands-free control

Did you know your S4 has lots of voice control options? You can use your voice to turn off alarms, take photos, play music and answer or reject calls. Just go to Settings> My Device> Voice Control and flip the switches for the commands you want to use. You can also use S Voice to set reminders or check the weather.

Multi-Window and recent apps

The S4 can display your most recently opened apps, but did you know it also has a Multi-Window function that allows you to have two open windows at the same time? It is well hidden, but very handy! We've dedicated a whole article to showing how to use Samsung Multi-Window since it's so tricky to figure out.

Common problems

No sound

Some users have had a software bug which silences their Galaxy S4. When there is no sound, it is due to a crashed app that is accessing the audio driver and blocking it. Restarting your phone will usually fix the problem.

Wi-Fi connection problems

When you're at home, you may well have noticed that your phone sometimes seems to have trouble connecting to your wireless network. This is usually the case when the Wi-Fi signal is weak, but it can crop up at other times as well.

You may find that you are plagued with messages informing you that your internet connection has been disabled because of slow speeds. While this may sound counterintuitive, try disabling mobile data – you may just find that it helps. Swipe down from the top of the screen and toggle the Mobile Data setting to off.

Another option is to disable Wi-Fi Power Save mode. Fire up the dialer and type the code *#0011# to enter Service Mode. Tap the menu key and select the Wi-Fi option. Under the Wi-Fi Power Save Mode heading, tap the On button so that it changes to Off. Press the back button to return to the home screen.

Video playback not working

Many users are having a hard time playing videos sent via WhatsApp on the Galaxy S4. When you get an error message from WhatsApp telling you, "video playback not possible" it can be fixed. Go into your settings and find the application manager, then reset your app defaults. If that doesn't fix the problem, download VLC media player.

Advanced tips

Access the Galaxy S4's hidden settings

There's a great app called Note 2 Hidden Settings that also works with other Galaxy devices, including the S4. It won't work with some carrier-branded models, but it's worth installing and giving it a shot because there's heaps of cool stuff in this app.

Fix bugs in Safe Mode

If your Galaxy S4 is acting strangely, you might want to restart it in Safe mode until you can solve the problem. To do this, simply turn your S4 off and then back on again. As soon as you see the Samsung screen, press and hold the volume down key and you will see that many apps will have been disabled when it boots up. To get out of safe mode, just turn your phone off and back on again.

Get a better launcher

If TouchWiz feels a little slow to you, why not replace with a faster launcher such as Google Now Launcher, Nova Launcher or Action launcher? Give them a try – they're free and you can always switch back if you want to.

Make your own Qi wireless charger

If you want the wireless charging experience that the Galaxy S6 offers, without needing to fork out a small fortune to actually get an S6, why not buy a wireless charging pack? All you'll need to do then is take the back off your phone and align the tab as instructed in the packaging, then replace the phone's back panel.

• Why you should try wireless charging

Access the hidden developer settings

To access your Galaxy S4's hidden developer settings, go into your device's settings, tap More , and go into the software information. In the About device section, tap the Build number seven times, and you'll then have access. Then you're ready to change the animation speed, limit background processes, and use USB debugging, among other interesting things.

Root your device

To gain access to advanced features for your S4, you can root your device. This can be done at your own risk, and will likely void your warranty. You can find a full explanation of what rooting is, how it is done and reasons why you should or shouldn't do it in our full guide to rooting.

Get Android 6.0 Marshmallow with CyanogenMod

The Galaxy S4 sold very well, and many people still have the devices. So, there are many volunteers who continue to provide software updates for the older device. You can get a Custom ROM update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. For the full steps on how to get the update, see our article.
