8 Tips to Get The Most Out of Samsung S Voice

S Voice is Samsung’s voice control app, similar to Google’s own voice command, which allows you to perform various tasks such as dialing a phone number, sending a text message, playing music, etc, on your device by using your voice. This feature is particularly useful for driving and other times when you need hands-free functionality.

S Voice is currently available as a built-in app for Samsung Galaxy S3, S3 Mini, S4, S4 Mini, S5, S5 Mini, Note 2, Note 3, Note 8, Note 10.1, Mega, Grand, Galaxy Tab series and all new series of Samsung Galaxy flagship devices.

If you are using one of those Samsung Galaxy devices, then you can take advantage of the S voice services. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of the Samsung S Voice.

1. Set Wake-Up Command

Setting a wake up command is the first thing you should do if you plan to use the S Voice feature. Not only it can tell you what command you can use to activate it, but it also allows you to create a custom wake-up command.

The default wake-up command is “Hi, Galaxy”, but you can change it to any 3-5 syllable phrase you’d like. To do this, open up S Voice app then tap the Menu button -> Settings. Make sure ‘wake up command’ option is checked and then select ‘Set wake-up command’.

This should bring you to a screen where you can custom various wake-up functions. Tap a command number and then choose the function. Tap the mic button then say the word or phrase you want to use as the wake-up command 4 times when prompted.

2. Answer and Reject Calls

S Voice allows you to easily accept or ignore incoming calls using the commands “Answer” and “Reject” when your phone starts to ring. When you answer your phone in this way, the audio will automatically be switched to the external speaker on the device, allowing you to answer and conduct a conversation completely hands-free.

To do this, on the S voice settings menu, find the option ‘Voice cmd for apps’ and flip the switch to turn it ON. For galaxy S4 users, from the Home screen, tap on the Menu button -> Settings-> My Device tab. Tap Voice control, and touch the slider to turn the feature ON.

Note: If you set the alarm type for calls, then this voice command is not available.

3. Control Your Music Player

Users can also tell S-Voice to play music by saying “Play…” followed by the name of the track or album or simply saying “Play to open music player app. You can skip through tracks by saying “Next” or “Previous”, and you can control the volume by saying “Volume up” and “Volume down”. If you have playlists set up, you can play them by saying “Play playlist my favorites” or whatever the title of the playlist is.

4. Take photos

If your only camera button is onscreen and you find it difficult to tap the button, then you can tell the camera to take a photo for you. To do this, make sure the ‘voice commands for apps’ or ‘voice control’ option is enabled, then open the camera app, and when you’re ready to take a photo, simply say “Smile”, “Shoot”, “Cheese or “Capture”.

5. Update your Facebook/Twitter

You can also do hands-free social networking through S Voice. To be able to use S Voice to update your Facebook or Twitter statuses, you first need to authenticate these networks within the S Voice settings. On the settings menu, scroll down to the Social Settings section and tap on the app you want to integrate. Enter your login details for that app. Once this is done, just say “Facebook/Twitter update The Samsung S Voice is brilliant” it will post it to your account.

6. Add a Home Address

To make navigation using S Voice even easier, you can tell your device your home address in advance, allowing you to quickly navigate home by saying a command such as “Drive home”. To set your home address, go to S Voice > Settings > Navigation > Home Address. By using the voice commands “Navigate to… ” or “Direction to…”, you can use S Voice to help you navigate to almost any location you want using Google Maps.

7. Voice Search

As you would expect, you can use S Voice to search your contacts for a specific person or to search for information on the Internet. . To find a contact, you would use the command “Look up…”, to find something on your tablet you can use “Find…” and to search the Internet, use “Google…” or “Search…”. You can also ask your device questions like “What is today’s date” or “What is the weather?”. S Voice will search for the answer in the appropriate way and deliver the answer without leaving the app interface.

8. News Reader

If you are driving, or your eyes are otherwise engaged, you can ask S Voice to read out thelatest news for you. Simply say “Read the news” or “I want to hear the news”. Depending on what news apps you have installed, S Voice will read out the latest story from Flipboard, Newsy, etc. To hear the next news item, simply say “Next news” or say “Previous news” to hear the previous news item.


These are just some of the Samsung S voice functions. There’s a lot more things that S Voice can do, so have fun exploring!

HTC One Tips, Tricks and Hidden Features

The HTC One is one of the best smartphones in the world, not only because of its excellent performance and great camera but also because of its awesome features.

Although, HTC One isn’t as tough as the features are in the Samsung Galaxy S4, but this list will help you unlock some of the top HTC One hidden features. If you are own One, the following tips and tricks will help you get the most out of your new device.

All of these hidden HTC One features should work on all the smartphone variants of HTC One, including AT&T and Verizon HTC One.

Touch to Capture Photos

The HTC One comes with an amazing camera which can be used to focus perfectly before you capture the objects. When you tap on the screen you can select the object to focus and everything else in the background would get blurred. That’s a feature which you would generally find on the DSLR’s camera and surprisingly this is available on this phone.

But if you prefer taking photos with a tap on the screen, then you can enable that option through the Settings in the Camera App. Go to Settings -> Shutter Option -> Touch to Capture and turn it on.

Quickly Switch Apps

You can quickly switch between apps without exiting to the home screen. To do that double tap on the Home button and it would show you a new window with some applications which were accessed recently. This is a pretty useful feature when you have to multitask in HTC One.

Quickly Switch Cameras

If you would like to Switch from the Front Camera to the Back Camera, you don’t have to go through the settings but simply swipe your fingers on the screen. This is yet very simple but useful feature to quickly switch the camera.

Remove BlinkFeed from Home Screen

BlinkFeed is a feature on HTC Sense5 that grabs all news from various sources and aggregates it onto one handy home screen panel for easy reading. If you don’t like staying current on news, you probably want to get rid of it. While you can not completely remove blinkfeed from your phone but you can hide it from showing up in the first screen. To do so, simply long-press on any homescreen and then long-press the thumbnail at the top of the screen. You’ll see the option ‘set as home’ appear. Select any screen other than Blinkfeed and you are done.

Use the HTC One as a Remote Control

The HTC One includes an IR blaster, which allows the user to control their TVs and cable box from across the room. Plus, with HTC’s Sense TV app, you can easily see what’s on using a slick interface and tap one of your favorite shows to start watching. You can also use the app to control your TV’s volume, record shows and more.

To use it, tap on Apps -> TV and follow the instructions to pair devices to your HTC One.

Modifying LED notifications

It’s pretty easy to modify the notifications flash on your phone. This is possible by going to the settings and changing the default settings. Tap on Settings -> Display, gestures & buttonsand tap on ‘Notification flash’. Now choose which types of notification you want the LED to flash for.

Use Magnifier Glass to Select Text

If you are found it difficult to select text and tapping it correctly, you can enable an option to show a magnifier glass when selecting text. To do this, go to Settings->Accessibility and check the show magnifier option.

Enable Car mode

HTC has a car mode that show you the options which you generally use while driving in a better display. It is not only easy to reach and select but also shown in large font. This means that you get the Navigation Dealer, Music and Speak features in a different UI which are easy to use while driving.

Hide SMS Messages

There are times when you want to hide some of your SMS Messages in your phone. Usually you will need to download third-party app from Play Store to hide selected SMS messages but HTC One has made it easier for you. HTC One comes with an option of securing your important or private SMS from everyone.

You will be required to setup a password before using this feature. Tap on Messages ->General -> Settings -> Password and enter Password. Once the password is set, go back to the main messages application screen and long press on the message that you want to hide. You would get the option to Move to Secure Box.

Save Power with Sleep mode

Sleep mode will automatically switch off 3G connectivity when it’s not needed. While it may not seem like much, this can actually save you a ton of power. To turn it on, go to Settings->Power->Sleep Mode.

Snap Animated Photos with Zoe mode

Zoe mode is a key feature of HTC one. It takes a short video clip that can be sliced up into twenty images. To enable zoe mode, tap the small camera icon on the left side of the screen. This will turn on HTC Zoe and show it at the bottom of the screen. Now just tap the shutter to take animated photos.

10 basic tips & tricks every Android that user needs to know

Whether you are brand new to the Android world or have been in Google's ecosystem since "Donut" (that was Google's tasty name for Android version 1.6 back in the dark ages of September 2011), I bet you'll find something you didn't know about your smartphone and tablet's operating system in this tip.

First, you should realize that Android gadgets are massively more customizable than their Apple iOS counterparts, but the tough part is figuring out how exactly to customize them. What apps do you need? What settings will help you to get the most out of your gadge

Today's Android tip will teach you some of my favorite tips, tricks and suggestions that every Android owner needs to know. From security to wallpaper to little things that you'd never think of, I'll cover it.

Just note that every Android gadget has a slightly different version of Android, so you might have to hunt around a bit to follow the directions.

Let's start with security.

1. INSTALL ANTI-VIRUS APPS

With just a few clicks here and there, hackers can easily get into your computer and steal your personal information. The same is true of your smartphone. Your Android gadget is a goldmine of personal information, passwords and probably even banking and financial information that any identity thief would love to grab. So one of the first things you must do with your Android is to make sure it is secure.

Click here to follow these 7 steps to secure your smartphone. You should also add virus and malware protection. I recommend my sponsor Webroot. Its free security app scans your other apps for malicious code and lets you know if you're in danger. Not only that, it protects you from online phishing scams that might trick you into giving up your information or downloading something you shouldn't.

2. SET UP A PASSCODE

A passcode is critical to have. Think about it: Your phone stores a treasure trove of personal information that thieves would LOVE to steal from you. You don’t want to make things too easy for them. That's why you don't want just any passcode, you want a strong one.

Users who create 4-digit passcodes such as 0000 and 1234 might as well turn the security feature off. Check out my tip, 3 tricks for better password management to ensure your password is best for keeping the bad guys out of your gadget.

To set up a passcode, go to Settings>>Lock Screen and tap "Screen lock." In other versions of Android, it's under Security>>Location and Security>>Screen Lock. Here you can choose to set a PIN, password or even a connect-the-dots pattern. On newer versions of Android, you also have the option for "Face" or "Face and voice" unlock.

I'd give those a pass. They're neat concepts, but these new identification methods haven't had all of their bugs worked out quite yet.

You'll want to make sure in your settings that your phone is set to lock automatically after just a few minutes. Letting it sit for hours before it locks kind of defeats the purpose and wastes its battery.

3. SAVE BATTERY LIFE

Android gadgets aren't exactly known for their stellar battery life, but there are things you can do to make it last. First, your screen burns through a lot of juice, but it doesn't have to.

By default, your screen is set to automatically change the brightness depending how long it's been active and the surrounding lighting level. On some gadgets, this works pretty well and on others not nearly as effectively.

You can manually set the brightness by going to Settings>>Display>>Brightness. Adjust the slider so your screen is visible, but not overly bright.

In the same area, Settings>>Display, you'll see the "Screen timeout" option. This shuts off your screen after you don't use your gadget for a certain amount of time. Set it to a minute or two and watch your battery life improve.

Bonus tip: Boost your Android gadget's battery life

You can look at other settings in the Display area as well. For example, "Smart screen" keeps the screen on as long as you're looking at it. This is cool, but it does use a bit more battery life to detect your face.

Other things aside from the display can drain your battery, such as apps. Android's built-in battery monitor, which you can find at Settings>>Battery, is OK, but it could be better.

The Battery Saver app has dozens of power-saving tips and tricks, like shutting off power-hogging programs. It will also display the amount of time that your battery has left and tell you which apps take up the most power. This way, you can delete the power-hungry apps you don’t need or use.

4. TAKE A SCREENSHOT

It's one of the simplest things to do on a computer: Just tap the Print Screen button to take a screenshot. It's just that easy on your smartphone, too!

But you'd be surprised how many people don't know how to do this simple trick. It's as easy as pressing the power button and volume down button at the same time.

Try it! The screenshot will appear in your photo album.

5. MONITOR YOUR DATA

With most cellular providers, data plans are mandatory with the purchase of any smartphone. Unfortunately, reasonably priced data plans are pretty stingy, especially if you are a fan of streaming videos or even music. For some plans, watching just one or two movies online

That makes it easy to accidentally go over, which means huge overage fees. Android helps you track your data use and set limits before you go over.

Go to Settings>>Data Usage. You can set your billing cycle, data limits and when you get alerts. You can also see how much data you typically use and which apps use the most. That can help you track down data hogs to remove.

Bonus tip: That's not all that you can do to conserve your data plan. Find out more about unexpected data vampires in this tip.

If you hit the Settings button in Data Usage, you can turn on the "Restrict Background Services" option. This forces the gadget to do updates over Wi-Fi instead of cellular.

6. ENABLE OR DISABLE LANDSCAPE VIEW

It can be annoying when you're in the middle of typing a message or browsing online and your screen rotates on you. The option to switch between portrait and landscape views is nice, but sometimes your gadget is a little too touchy.

Luckily, you can disable this setting and lock your phone into portrait mode if you want.

Go to Settings>>Display and uncheck "Auto rotate screen." In some versions, it might be under Settings>>Display>>Orientation.

7. ADD AND CHANGE YOUR WALLPAPER

You don't have to stick with the default wallpaper on your gadget. There are plenty of other options, and nothing makes a phone feel more personalized than choosing your own background.

Just tap and hold any empty area on the Android home screen. You will see a pop-up menu that says "Set Wallpaper." In later versions, you can choose to set the wallpaper for your home screen, lock screen or both.

Then you'll get a choice of where to get the wallpaper. You can pull it from your photos, live wallpapers or the wallpaper folder.

Be cautious before using a Live Wallpaper though. Those have moving images and can dramatically drain your battery and even slow down your scrolling.

8. DOWNLOAD ESSENTIAL APPS

There are millions of apps in the Google Play Store. How do you know where to start? Luckily, I'm here to help.

Start with my Top 10 essential apps for Android. Then specialize with 5 best weather-checking apps, the best calendar and reminder apps, and top apps for travel. For more games, entertainment, shopping, security and utility apps, visit the app section of my site.

9. UNINSTALL ACCIDENTAL APPS

Whoops! You didn't want that app, you wanted this one. That doesn't mean you are stuck with the wrong app forever.

To remove an unwanted app, go to Settings>>Application manager. Tap on an app and then tap the Uninstall button.

The apps that the gadget manufacturer put on the phone at the factory won't have this option. For those, all you can do is remove them from the home screen.

To do this, tap and hold an app icon on the home screen until a trash can appears at the top of the screen. Drag the icon to the trash can and it will go away.

10.  FIND YOUR PHONE IF IT’S LOST OR STOLEN

Misplacing your phone can be frustrating; Android Device Manager is an invaluable app to have in this situation. It tracks down your gadget with GPS so you can go find it. If your phone is just lost, you can cause it to ring at full volume or display a message on the lock screen.

If you don’t lock your phone, you can lock it remotely with a new password. Of course, a savvy thief would have used that time to take over already. In the absolute worst case, you can wipe the personal information from your gadget. That way, no thief can get it.
