It is without a doubt one of the most coveted smartphones of the moment. Probably, in addition, the one that incorporates the most exclusive cutting-edge applications as standard. And if that wasn't enough, it offers one of the most complete and satisfying multimedia experiences on the market. It is the Samsung Galaxy S4, a device that also allows the user to have access to mobile Internet networks from any other device. In other words, the connection of the Samsung Galaxy S4 can be shared with a computer, tablet or smartphone, so that the high-end of the South Korean house operates as a bridge to supply the data traffic that another equipment requires.
Of course, this feature is available in other terminals on the market in general and from Samsung in particular. But in view of the fact that in a couple of months the deployment of 4G coverage in our country will begin, and that this Samsung Galaxy S4 is one of the devices that are prepared to work with the type of LTE that will be available from next July With Orange and Yoigo, it is especially interesting to be able to exploit the possibilities of this service by using the options to share connection.
For this, we have to take into account a couple of details. The first is that to use the Samsung Galaxy S4 as a modem, we have two options. Well use the function wirelessly, making the phone a point Hotspot, or do the same by connecting the Samsung Galaxy S4 to the team that thrives on the Internet of the smartphone using the cable USB. Thus, choosing one way or another determines the comfort of the function, but also the punishment that we can inflict on the Samsung Galaxy S4 battery. Logically, the first option will make a bigger dent.
In order to activate one or the other option, we would have to go to the "settings" menu. Once there, we just have to look for the section "portable zone and network anchor". Clicking on that section will open the options panel from which we can configure how we want to share the data connection of the Samsung Galaxy S4 from other terminals. There are three ways that we could use. And two of them have explained "" using the phone as a hotspot, modem or Wi-Fi wireless and wired or as well as using a cable USB "". The third is located halfway between the two, since it provides data traffic as if it were the method used by the USB cable, although changing this via the Bluetooth port.
If we select the first option, which makes the Samsung Galaxy S4 a "Portable Wi-Fi Zone" transmitter, we will have to configure it so that other users of the open channel are not taken advantage of. To do this, it is enough that we program a password associated with the connection name that we choose. In this way, only we and the users to whom we give permission will be able to feed on the Internet connection of the Samsung Galaxy S4. Of course, it is necessary to take into account that data consumption can skyrocket if we use the connection sharing function of the Samsung Galaxy S4, so it is recommended that it only be used at specific times.
