Galaxy question
answered
If you are new to your Galaxy device or are in need of inspiration
on how to get the most out of it, then we have got all of the
answers. Read on to become at one with your device

How to use your Galaxy device to stay in the social loop
Can I have conference calls on
my Samsung Galaxy device?
If you have a Galaxy handset then you can use
the Add Call and Merge options to conferencecall on your phone. If you are using a tablet
then Googles Hangouts service allows you to
conduct a live video call with up to ten friends
at once. By creating a Hangout party, you can
input the names, email addresses or numbers
of the people you wish to add and then send
out an invite to all parties to connect. You can
also add more people once your party is up
and running, so nobody needs to be left out
of the social loop.
On the go
Need to get to a certain place? Then let your Galaxy device lead the way
Be entertained
Welcome to the real bread and butter of what your device can do for you
be visible in your
library.
Now simply tap
on a track or movie
and the simple set
of playback controls
will allow you to
start listening or
watching right
away. Dont forget
that you can also purchase music and films direct from
the Google Play Store, which will then automatically be
added to your libraries in the respective app for you
to enjoy when you want, and the volume of products
available is staggering.
How do I subscribe to
magazines?
The Play Newsstand app works along the
same lines as the Play Books app, in that you
can browse the store for magazines which
you then download an app for on your device.
Through this app you can buy individual issues
or take out a subscription to get every new
edition delivered automatically to your device.

Clever features
Advanced Phone settings
In the Phone app settings menu, there
are some extremely clever features which
are worth exploring. The first one lets you
turn off the screen during calls, which
will ensure that you do not accidentally
cut off the call by touching the screen
with the side of your face. You can also
set an extra volume button to show on
screen while a call is in progress and the
phone can sense when it is in a pocket
and therefore increase the volume
automatically in this situation.

Practical features

ones. You can easily print off any webpage

Navigate to the Accessibility menu and

is an interesting option to try. It turns
webpages into inverted black and white,
which might seem strange but can
improve the legibility of text if you find
the screen difficult to read.

Back everything up
The personal data that you store on a phone
or tablet is extremely important and you
could be lost without it if a major hardware
or software problem occurs. Kies gets around
this by offering an efficient facility to quickly
back up this data to your desktop PC. When

Synchronisation
You may wonder why a synchronisation
feature is needed in Samsung Kies if there is

Recover a device
Kies can save the day
Samsung Kies also offers advanced
features that will help you to recover from
major crashes and to even install the
latest operating system that is available
for your device. Under the Tools option
you can select any of these features and
even transfer data from a non-Samsung
device in a couple of clicks. This makes
the software much more than a tool to
move data around. It could save you lots
of time if a major problem stops your
device from working.
