Tips and tricks guide for Samsung Galaxy S3 can help you find solution of problem by your android , because Samsung Galaxy S3 is the most well-rounded Samsung smartphone ever. Even years after its release, the S3 is still proudly assisting many Android fans' lives in the world . Whether you're a life-long S3 lover or recent convert, we've pulled together the ultimate guide to Galaxy S3 tips and tricks, features, tweaks and hacks to help you get the most out of your phone and have a bit of fun with it, too.
Record and save music from the FM tuner
Granted, listening to the radio isn’t so popular anymore considering you can stream music using
Spotify or
Google Play Music, among
the many other services, but radio has less of a draining impact on
your battery (not to mention the fact it doesn’t use your mobile data).
If
you don’t have a ton of songs already saved on your microSD card, or
you're looking to free up some space, radio is a good option. You can
even record FM radio and store it on your internal memory!
Blocking mode
The worst thing is getting notifications in the
middle of the night when you are just trying to get a decent night’s
sleep. The Galaxy S3 has a Blocking Mode that you can switch on or off
in the settings of your phone under the Device subcategory.
By
tapping on ‘Blocking mode’ you will be able to customize what you would
like to block, whether it is incoming calls, notifications, alarms,
timers or LED indicators, for all time or just a specific period. You
can, however, ensure that emergency calls are able to get through to you
at any point in time by specifying ‘allowed contacts’.
Face unlock
Though this isn’t the most secure way to lock
your smartphone, it is kinda cool. Under Settings, you will need to go
into ‘Lock screen’ and choose ‘Screen lock’. Tapping on this will prompt
you to confirm with your current screen lock choice and then give you a
list of ways to unlock your phone, as well as indicating which ones are
the safest.
By going through the steps as directed and holding
the device at eye level to fit your head within the form on screen, you
can set it up so that your Galaxy S3 will recognize you by your face. It
might mistake a similar looking person for you, however, so if you are
worried about your content, you might want to stick with another, more
secure locking method.
Easy Mode for your home screen
If you are buying a Samsung
Galaxy S3 for the first time, and are a beginner user, it might be a
good idea to switch the user interface for your home screen to easy
mode. What this will do is give you bigger, blockier icons on your home
screen in order to make your apps and the other functions more visible.
To
get into ‘Easy mode’, go into the settings of your phone and under the
subcategory ‘Device’, choose ‘Home Screen mode’ and choose which mode
you would prefer, and finally, press 'apply'. Once you feel more
comfortable, you can always switch it back with the same steps.
Edit videos in Video Player
If you’ve shot a video and want
to trim it down a little bit, you can do this right from the video
editor, without the use of an external app from the Google Play Store.
When a video is playing, tap on the menu button and choose trim. You can
then choose which parts to trim out and which to keep.
Video overlay
Multi-tasking with the Galaxy S3 can be done in
many different ways, like with Multi Window, for example. Another way
is having a video from Video Player play in a small window over the top
of your home screen, or while browsing the web, texting with friends and
so on.
To do this, go into the video that you would like to view,
then select the icon in the bottom right corner. This will launch the
video on the home screen, where you can start doing something else
simultaneously. Tapping on the video will bring up the ‘X’ to close it.
Remote wipe your phone with remote control
The Galaxy S3 may
be old, but it remains desirable. If someone pinches yours, you
can locate the device and make sure that no one gets your private and
personal information by performing a complete wipe of your phone’s data
remotely. You need to have signed up for your Samsung account and set up
a password, which you can do from your phone when you are initially
setting it up.
If your phone gets stolen or misplaced, sign in to Samsung's
Find My Mobile,
which helps you locate your mobile phone, lock it, make it ring,
forward messages or calls, see call logs, wipe your mobile as well as
unlock your screen (the last one is handy if you have forgotten your own
lock screen password). You can also find the current location of your
lost device and track its movement over 15-minute intervals for 12
hours, though this could cost you.
Turn it into a gaming device
You can get a ton of emulators
for any Android device, but one of the drawbacks of this is the lack of
physical buttons. Sure, I love being able to bust out old-school console
games whenever I please, but I can’t ever get into the swing of a game
when having to use a touchscreen as a controller.
However, if you
grab an official OTG USB cable, you can connect a controller to your
device. Voila. You’ve got yourself a portable nostalgia gaming
powerhouse.
