While waiting for manufacturers to promote a new leap in power and performance in their imminent devices, during this 2013 we have been witnessing a general trend that involves equipping the high-end with next-generation smart functions instead of surprising in the technical section. Like last year, the processors have remained in the four cores, the screens have been around five inches with FullHD quality and the cameras "" with exceptions "" have been limited to flirting with margins of twelve or thirteen megapixels. Thus, the distinction between the reference teams has focused on design and software, fundamentally. Among all of them, the Samsung Galaxy S4It has stood out especially for equipping a multitude of exclusive tasks that have come to surprise locals and strangers. These functions can also be activated and deactivated at will, depending on whether we think we can use it or not, thereby favoring the possibility of saving a few minutes "" or perhaps an hour "" of autonomy. Let's see how to do it.
The vast majority of functions that differentiate the Samsung Galaxy S4 from its direct competitors focus on three of its sensors: the front camera, the accelerometer and the panel. In the first case, the sensor fixes its attention on the user, offering behavior based on how the user reacts to the device. The second is the motion detector, interpreting the position and orientation of the Samsung Galaxy S4, so that the system proposes an answer in this regard. As for the third, it is one of the most surprising, since it is capable of detecting the position of the finger on the screen without contact. There are more sensors, such as the NFC chip or Wi-Fi connectivity, but those three are the ones that intervene the most in the surprising smart tasks of the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Well, depending on how these sensors behave in isolation or in combination, the functions of the Samsung Galaxy S4they will show one way or another. Although, yes, as long as we have everything activated and configured. One way to find out is to unfold the notification curtain and see which ones are on in the palette that begins with access to Wi-Fi, GPS, sound or screen rotation settings. This submenu is presented in a row that, if we wish, we can drag to the left, showing up to 21 shortcuts to intelligent functions. These can be viewed in a grid, rather than in a row. To do this, just click on the virtual button that is shown "" remember, with the notification curtain deployed "" in the upper right corner. Thus, we can observe all the smart functions with direct access at once. Now,It would be enough to turn on or off the functions that we want, without having to resort to more steps or routes.
If we know that there are functions and sensors that we will not use, we can configure this palette with the most common ones, ruling out the presence of the others. To do this, click on the button with the icon of the small pencil that is just to the left of the one we selected previously to display all the accesses in a grid view. That takes us to the notification panel settings, where in addition to being able to activate or deactivate the presence of the screen brightness adjustment. Once there, we would only have to select the functions that we want to have with a direct access from the aforementioned window. As simple as that.
In case we wanted to make a more detailed configuration, we would have to go to the settings menu. Since we have the notification curtain displayed, click on the gear icon that is in the upper right. From the connections tab we would have options to locate, in the second part of the main menu, up to five options: «NFC» ”” to activate or deactivate the proximity communication sensor ””, “S Beam”, ”” the dedicated option to share files by NFC or Wi-Fi Direct ””, “Nearby devices” ”” a configurator to share multimedia files by DLNA or the Samsung standard, AllShare ””, “Screen mirroring” ”” function dedicated to DLNA or AllShare,but focused on sharing files with a TV or screen with Wi-Fi ”” or “Kies via Wi-Fi” ”” an access to the Samsung file manager that communicates with the computer wirelessly ””.
In the next tab, "My device", we will have the option to activate or deactivate the "Car mode", customizing its parameters so that the Samsung Galaxy S4 offers a specific response when we receive calls, messages or notifications while we are behind the wheel. Below we could touch aspects related to motion and sight sensors, such as "Smart screen" or "Air view", as well as the parameters of "Voice control". Once we have put all the configuration points to our liking, each time we access them from the menu that appears in the notification curtain, the sensors will be activated or deactivated at our convenience following the parameters with which we have customized them.
