Samsung Galaxy S4 TIPS

SAMSUNG GALAXY S4

The world's most popular android device, the samsung galaxy s4 is renowned for it's large 5" display and runs on Android Jelly Bean (v4.2.2.). S4 has Quadcore 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7. It has also 2gb of ram 4 smooth operation of the phone. Since it is android, it becomes slow and sluggish from time to time. T


Let's talk about the battery.It is Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery. With endurance rating of only 65hr.





1.Display

This has been the problem for other s4 owners. Some were likely to make their phone brighter as possible. They noticed that the battery drains fast. To fix this issue you must adjust the brightness to your acceptable level.This will save the battery consumption for up to 25%.




2.Charging the phone.

The S4 has 2600mAh Li-ion battery. Don't use it while charging, especially when receiving phone calls.It still consumes power so the charging will be slow. In order to charge it properly you may turn off the phone or lock the screen. Some cases had been reported that receiving and answering a phone call with this device explode as you can see in the picture.



3.Applications

make sure that you will install the application that is compatible to your phone. Some report show that when playing games or apps is sometimes slow and laggish. I would recommend games and apps that do not require heavy ram usage and must be compatible to your device's GPU. Also you may install anti-virus if you do not want your phone to be infected by trojans, etc.



4.The Lock Screen

Make sure to set-up an auto lock screen on the settings. Auto locking while your phone is idle is efficient. You don't have to press the power button, since this was relatively consuming battery power by 2%. Do not also restart your phone if there is no problem. Restarting heavily consumes battery due to loading of programs, data and OS.



5.Multi-tasking

Android is known for its multi-tasking capabilities, how ever this really affects the power consumption of your phone. Opening too many apps or games at the same time sometimes affect the smooth operation of the phone. Some people just press home key if they want to exit the application. But this is wrong. It will take you only to homescreen. it's better to use the back or exit key if you really want to exit the application. Go to App. Mngr to access the progress and activities of your device.



6. Sounds

S4 uses Wolfson DAC. This a good audio chip. However, you should use headsets to lessen the usage of DAC. Some problems stated when regarding to bass. It makes unusual noise in the speakers. By that, you can set the equalizers to your desired effects.
