Err… There is still no sight of GALAXY S4 User’s Digest in Google Play Store or Samsung Apps. But no worry, there is another channel to try out Samsung Galaxy S4 online. Yes, it is Galaxy S4 Interactive Tutorial, some kind of simulator where you can learn about Galaxy S4 features. Not as attractive as GALAXY S4 User’s Digest, but it’s better than nothing, right?
One of the best Android video player out there ~ MX Player does not support DTS codec officially (same apply to MX Player Pro version). Yes, you can play video with DTS soundtrack but with no sound output. However, you can enable DTS codec support by installing custom codec that support DTS. And you can do so within the MX Player itself. Of course, you can use video player that support DTS natively if you prefer.
Want to capture Samsung Galaxy S4 screenshot and show others at Facebook, Twitter? Galaxy S4 is using the very same methods like its older brother. Galaxy S3 users, you can skip this guide now. The rest of you, stay with me. By the way, the default Android capture screenshot combo (Power + Volume Down buttons) won’t work on Samsung Galaxy series devices. Samsung has its own methods…
Always test Samsung Android devices before buy it (only valid for shop purchase though). Yes, this applies to Samsung flagship Galaxy S4 too. Samsung makes a great tool for them to check the hardware quality at test development stage. And you can use it to test too. The application is called FactoryKeystring. Basically, it covers all the hardware function tests for Galaxy S4. You can check 1080p Full HD Super AMOLED screen with Red, Green, Blue, Receiver (white) and Vibration (black) colour. Make sure that there is no dead or bright pixel. That’s the first thing I will do. I really hate dead pixel as it is very annoying. There are other tests like Dimming, Touch and TSP Hovering to test the screen function as well. Front and back camera can be tested with Mega cam and Front cam. Both speakers’ tests are included too. Sleep, Sub key, LED, IR LED, LOW FREQUENCY, Barcode Emulator and SensorHub Test are the rest of the tests. Test all of them if you can.
Hey, where is the Developer options on Samsung Galaxy S4? No worry, Developer options is still there in Galaxy S4. Google made a change on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean onward where Developer options is hidden by default. Yes, I agree that’s a good decision because normal users don’t need to use it anyway except developers and hardcore users. Do you?
