Five useful tips for your Samsung Galaxy S III

1. Display battery percentage

Tired of having to guess how much battery life you have (based on glancing at the tiny battery icon)? If so, the Samsung S III has you covered. Do the following:

1. Open up Settings

2. Tap Display

3. Scroll down and tap to enable Display battery percentage.

Now, you’ll see a percentage of how much battery you have remaining in the notification area of your device.

2. Turn on Wi-Fi Direct

There are many ways to share files between devices. Samsung has come up with a method that is more reliable than Bluetooth and faster than email. This is done with the Samsung proprietary Wi-Fi Direct, which allows you to quickly and easily share large files between compatible devices. Basically, this lets devices communicate with one another a wireless access point. To enable this feature, do the following:

1. Open Settings

2. Tap More Settings

3. Slide the on/off slider to enable Wi-Fi Direct

4. When Wi-Fi Direct is on, tap the Wi-Fi Direct entry in Settings, and then tap the Scan button

5. Tap the device you want to connect to (the owner of the target device will have to OK the connection)

To share a file, simply open the file, tap the Share button, and select Wi-Fi Direct as the share method.

3. Turn on S Beam

Another unique means of transferring data between Samsung Galaxy S III phones is S Beam. This is the technology shown on the “The next big thing is already here” commercials. Two S III users bump phones together to quickly transfer files to one another. This technology uses Near Field Communication (NFC) and Wi-Fi Direct so that enabled phones can touch to transfer information. This is really just a means to make Wi-Fi Direct even easier (but Wi-Fi Direct must be enabled).

To turn this feature on, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings

2. Tap S Beam

3. In the S Beam screen , slide the on/off slider to the right

Once this is on, all you have to do is touch devices and tap the screen. Whatever is on the screen should then be shared with the other device (which must also have S Beam enabled).

4. Enable Motion controls

Your Samsung Galaxy S III can use motions to control your phone. For example, you can automatically call the contact on the screen by moving the phone to your ear. You can also turn your phone over to mute incoming calls. To enable this feature, do the following:

1. Open Settings

2. Tap Motion

3. Scroll through the listings , and enable any Motion control you like

5. Encrypt your device or SD card

With the Samsung Galaxy S III, you can encrypt your device and/or your SD card. Once encrypted, you’ll have to enter a password each time you either turn the phone on or connect to the SD card. This does give you a nice layer of security, but it pretty much marries the SD card to the phone. So, regular SD card backups become a necessity. However, for users who must have extra security, this is a pretty handy feature.

There are two caveats to the encryption:

• It’s software-based, so it puts a bit of a hit on the processor cycles on the phone

• It’s irreversible

To encrypt either the device or the SD card, do the following:

1. Start with a fully charged device

2. Plug your device into its charger

3. Open Settings

4. Scroll down and tap Security

5. Tap either Encrypt device or Encrypt SD card

6. If encrypting the SD card, select Encrypt SD card, Full Encryption, Exclude Multimedia file

Samsung Galaxy Note II S Pen tips and tricks

Using the S Pen

Out of the box, it may not seem like the S Pen really is that embedded into the device. That’s because, by default, a number of the settings are turned off, primarily to save battery life. Yes, some of the stylist settings do drain the battery, but you purchased this device because of the stylist, not in spite of it.

So, what features do you turn on? Let me go through them all so you can decide which ones you will want to keep. Almost all of these features are found in the S Pen settings by taping Menu | Settings | S Pen. In this window, you can turn on the following features:

• Open Popup Note: This will open a small window (even when you have another app open) that allows you to take notes

• S Pen keeper: Sound an alert and show popup when you walk with the device without attaching the pen

• Air View: Enables the Note II to detect the nub of the pen, even before it touches the screen — you can get information to pop up (or windows to open) just by hovering the pen over the proper spot

• Quick Command: You can launch anything with a gesture

That is not all of the cool features you’ll find. The keyboard also allows for OCR handwriting recognition, but it’s not enabled by default. To enable this feature, follow these steps:

• Open an app that used the keyboard

• Long-press the Mic button (directly right of the Sym button)

• In the Samsung keyboard settings window (Figure A), tap to enable Pen detection

Siri Has a minor glich understanding your words

Add punctuation

Siri tries very hard to guess your punctuation. But why make the system guess when you can add punctuation yourself? Here are the commands to use for different punctuation:

• Say… …to do

• new line - To add a new line of text (carriage return)

• new paragraph – To start a new paragraph

• cap - To capitalize the next letter of the next word

• caps on/off - To capitalize the first letter of every word in a section

• all caps – To capital all letters in the next word

• all caps on/off - Capital all letters in next section of text

• no caps - Make all of the next letters in the next word lower case

• no caps on/off - Make all next letters in next section lower case

• space bar – Prevent hyphenation from occurring in a normally hyphenated word

• no space - Prevent a space between two words

• no space on/off – Prevent space in a section of text

• period – Place a period at the end of a sentence

• dot - Places a dot (period) within text, but no space after

• ellipsis - Places an ellipse ( … ) in the next space

• comma – Places a comma at the location of the cursor

• quote – Places a quotation mark at the cursor

• apostrophe - Places an apostrophe at the cursor

• exclamation point - Places an exclamation point at the cursor

You get the idea. Most punctuation is put in place by simply saying the name of the punctuation. Some (such as the ellipse) have multiple ways of insertion (ellipsis or dot dot dot).

How To Unlock Your AT&T iPhone – With AT&T’s Blessing

Though AT&T recently announced its new iPhone unlock program recently, it appears to have been an off-the-cuff decision. The media relations and support web sites and PR papers don’t have anything, nor did the staff at the store I visited. Even Apple’s list of carriers, which specifies which ones require locks, shows no changes.

Five tips for sharing data from your mobile device

Phones and tablets are starting to play a much bigger role in the world of IT.

As this happens, users need easy, reliable ways to have their mobile devices interact and share with their PCs.

Let’s take a look at five tips for making this data transfer a smooth and painless process.

(Click on Link Below)

1: Take advantage of Bluetooth

Most mobile devices offer the ability to easily share data via Bluetooth. Problem is, many computers do not offer Bluetooth compatibility.

If you are one of the lucky ones, and your machine has Bluetooth connectivity, happy sharing.

For those without the hardware, it is possible to purchase either a card or USB Bluetooth device (such as this IOGEAR Micro Adapter) that will allow you to share those files.

This might well be the easiest method for sharing data between your mobile and your PC.

For the Android platform, you will find Bluetooth options in Wireless and Network | Bluetooth settings. In that menu, you can tap Scan Devices to auto-discover any other Bluetooth devices to connect with.

2: Use SMB

Don’t be fooled by these 10 PC performance myths

Here’s the real story.

Computer lovers are always looking to get more speed out of their computers.

TECH TIPS

Get Your Music Off of Your iPod

Dumping your entire music collection onto an iPod is a simple, one-click process.

But what about getting your music off an iPod? You’ll find that’s not so easy.

Apple’s iTunes software only lets you put the music onto the player, and not the other way around.

The iPod/iTunes combo was designed with this restriction built in to prevent piracy and illicit trading. However, there are a number of legitimate reasons you might need to transfer songs from your iPod to your hard drive.

For instance, if that fateful day arrives and your PC hard drive crashes, you can restore your music collection without re-ripping dozens of CDs.

 Fortunately, there are many applications you can use to get your tunes off your iPod.

Some of them are even free, so they won’t cost you a thing.

What You’ll Need

1. An iPod (obviously)

2. Either a Windows, Mac or Linux machine.

The simplest method for grabbing tunes off of your iPod is also the geekiest. Just enable the “Disk Mode” feature of the iPod from within iTunes, which will allow you to mount the iPod as a hard drive. Then, you can browse the disk using Windows Explorer or the Mac’s Finder.

Make Custom iPhone Ringtones Without Paying Apple $2

Despite Apple’s best efforts, hackers continue to find ways to load custom ringtones onto the iPhone without buying them from the iTunes store.

Apple has continued to update its iTunes software (which syncs with the iPhone to add ringtones) to block the specific loopholes uncovered by the hackers. We can expect the company to continue to keep updating its software as the game of cat and mouse continues.

 Is This Legal?

Most experts say yes, claiming that making a ringtone out of a song you’ve already purchased is fair use. Others say no, that using a song as a ringtone without purchasing it as a ringtone is a violation of copyright since a ringtone is a “derivative work.” Furthermore, the “Usage Rules” outlined in Apple’s Terms of Service for the iTunes store prevent you from re-using protected songs as ringtones. So, proceed with caution, and stay away from protected AAC files. Instead, use only songs you’ve ripped from a CD or written yourself.

The GarageBand Method

If you’ve got Apple’s GarageBand, you’ve already got a built-in ringtone maker that will work with almost any audio file you have in iTunes, and it’s far easier to use than the DIY method outlined below. It will work with first-generation iPhones as well as iPhone 3G and iPod Touch.

Here’s how to use GarageBand to create a new ringtone

 Steal these Android tips and tricks

You don’t need a degree in software engineering to get more out of your Android smartphone.

Regardless of the kind of Android phone you’re packing — be it from Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola or Sony, to name a few makers — we’ve got a handful of helpful ways to unlock the capabilities of your favorite handset.

Unless otherwise specified, it also shouldn’t matter what version of Android you’re running on your smartphone, with the most popular today being Android 2.3 (“Gingerbread”) or the latest release, Android 4.0 (“Ice Cream Sandwich”). To figure out what version you’re running, go to the About section of your device, under Settings.

Many of these tips and tricks will work on Android-based tablets (including those powered by Android 3.x, a.k.a. “Honeycomb”) as well as phone-tablet hybrids like the Samsung Galaxy Note and its built-in stylus pen.

Oh, and if you have any tips of your own, feel free to share them with others below in the Comments section.

If you’re getting a call on your Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) device, you can swipe the screen to the right to answer, swipe to the left to ignore or swipe up to quickly respond with a text message —  READ MORE>>>>

Activate Find My iPhone for iOS 4

Apple last week rolled out a major update for its mobile operating system iOS 4, and among the new features is a nifty free tool: Find My iPhone.

As its name suggests, Find My iPhone is a tracking feature to locate a missing iPhone 4, iPad or fourth-generation iPod Touch. (Only the latest models get the free feature.) If you’ve dropped your iDevice in a cab, or if someone’s stolen it, you can hop on a computer to follow the GPS coordinates of the iPhone on a Google map (see above).

Or, if you’re just absent-minded like me and you misplace your iPhone as often as you lose your keys, you can use your computer to trigger a beeping sound to help you find it. It should be loud enough to hear from under a couch cushion. (You’ll never have to bug a friend to call your phone again.)

If you do indeed think your iPhone is in the hands of a thief, you can use Find My iPhone to remotely lock the device or wipe the data.

 Print With Any Printer From iPad, iPhone

Apple’s latest mobile-operating-system update introduces a much-demanded feature: wireless printing.

Problem is, it will only officially print from printers labeled “AirPrint-compatible,” which you likely don’t own. However, if you want to print from just about any printer, there’s a mod for that.

AirPrint Activator offers a solution for Macs to set up wireless printing with iOS 4.2 with any printer shared on your network. Here’s how to set it up, with instructions courtesy of the hack’s maker, Netputing.
