It's a predicament many of us face on a frequent basis; our friend wants to connect to your Wi-Fi, and we're left scrambling around for that torn up piece of paper on which we scribbled that long and elaborate, alphanumeric code. Either that, or we're left playing the guessing game, trying to remember a password we only ever think about in these very situations. Sure, there are ways to make this system a whole lot smoother, but by far the easiest method is to generate a QR code and stick it on top of your router. Is this a new technique? No. Is it particularly groundbreaking? Definitely not. But the fact is, you don't do it, and if you don't ever want to bother reeling off your Wi-Fi password ever again, check out the very simple method outlined after the break.
Following on from its recent announcement of the Galaxy S4, Samsung has released a four-minute video showing off its new creation in a more condensed format than its considerably longer, and much more bizarre unveiling event.
Unless your Internet access has been cut off over the last few days, you are likely aware that Samsung showed off its new smartphone, the Galaxy S4, at a high-profile event in New York City. Right across the pond, in the United Kingdom, major retailer Phones4U has revealed that pre-orders of the new Galaxy S4 smartphone have vastly exceeded pre-registrations for previous models, an early sign that Samsung has managed to “woo” customers with its new device, at least in Britain.
For a vast majority of internet users that interact socially on the web, protecting their privacy is one of the biggest concerns, particularly because of the growing influence of social media in our real lives. This becomes an even more serious matter for users of smartphones, for other than being mobile communicators for us, they also have a physical presence that can become compromised.
HTC's One smartphone device may yet to have been released to market, but already, the folks over at XDA have put together a brilliant all-in-one toolkit for modding enthusiasts to download and enjoy.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is finally here, and having already compared the device against the HTC One and iPhone 5, we're back with another face-off. This time, the new handset will be pitting its wits against two devices which have been presented with the mammoth task of rejuvenating the fortunes of two once-mighty brands in the mobile industry. Both Nokia and BlackBerry have enjoyed vast successes over the past decade, but as both have struggled in the wake of iOS and Android, the Nokia Lumia 920 on Windows Phone 8, and the BlackBerry Z10 on the BB10 OS, have some real ground to make up if they are to compete with the Galaxy S4. Here, we compare them with yet another like-for-like table of the vital specifications.
Samsung’s Galaxy S4 launch ceremony finally took place a few hours ago in New York City, and among the myriad dramatics and orchestral ensemble, the company’s latest flagship device was revealed in the presence of a packed crowd. If you missed your chance to catch the live stream of the Samsung UNPACKED 2013 event (because let’s face it, the Korean company runs later than most), then you’ll be pleased to know that it’s now available to watch in its entirety. More details after the jump.
Yesterday, many technology enthusiasts across the world spent the evening (or otherwise the early hours of their mornings) watching Samsung show off the new Galaxy S4 smartphone at its event in New York. While many have already made up their minds and will order the new phone, Samsung is being kind enough not to leave Galaxy S III users out in the cold: indeed, according to a Samsung spokesman, many of the software features on the new device will be pushed to the Galaxy S III in the very near future, as part of an Android software update.
Samsung has, after much wait, finally announced its Galaxy S4 handset, and if the HTC One lit the blue touch-paper for an old-fashioned slog in the battle for Android supremacy, the Korean giant has responded in its usual efficient fashion. Most of the features we suspected prior to the announcement eventually materialized, including the 1080p 5-inch display, 2GB of RAM and quad-core processor, but there were also one or two surprises in store. We’ve got every inch of the announcement covered after the break!
No matter how advanced and multipurpose smartphones become with time, their core function will remain the same; communication and keeping in touch. Then, it also remains no hidden fact that, at least for the foreseeable future, voice calls and SMS messages are not going anywhere, either. On that note, since you’re note always looking at your phone’s screen (hardly anyone ever is), it’s imperative that the device alerts you to the presence of new items that need your attention and addressing, and for that reason, we have notifications – ringer alerts, message tones, LED flashes, vibrations et al – which let us know when our smartphone has new notifications that need to be catered to.
