Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Tips & Tricks Ep. 55: Swipe Home Button, Improve Home Button for Better One Handed Operation

Galaxy Note 4 Wish-List: Must Have Specs & Features

<div id="tdncontent"> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqzWXrUE1m0" target="_blank"><img onload="tdnembed()" onmouseout="tdnout(this)" onmouseover="tdnover(this)" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xcIGXLjkb3Y/U8WQdlZGZGI/AAAAAAAABjI/15-05VrqoXo/s685/%5BIMG_5271%5D071518h23m09.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /><br /><br /> </a></div> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">The Daily Note II/3's Ultimate Wish-List of Specs and Features for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3</span><br /> <h3> Display Size</h3> We ran a Galaxy Note 3 concept poll on our website and it was determined that the majority of the people who voted were looking for a Note 4 that kept the same the device size but had increased the display size by reducing the boarders.<br /> <h3> Significant Battery Increase</h3> We're looking for more than 100mAh increases.  Sure the Note 3 will go for a day and a half on mild use.  But sometimes, you just want to use that battery hogging app in full brightness and for hours at a time.  And we all know how quickly the battery drains when we use our devices like that.  So we would love to see battery life, at least double or even triple of what it is now.  It can be an optional accessory that people can choose to carry, such as a battery door with a large battery and people can opt to use such an accessory on special days only when they think they need it.<br /> <h3> AOSP-based Web browser (Note II Style Browser)</h3> Right now, the best browser available for the Note 3 is Dolphin browser.  And although it gets the job done right, the browser on the Note 2 is still better in many ways, especially when you enable the Quick Controls and Full screen feature.  The AOSP browser on the Note 2 runs on Android 4.4 and it works flawlessly.  We would love to see this browser again on the Note 4.<br /> <h3> RAW Capture from Camera</h3> RAW seems to be the hot topic of smartphones.  Although there has been no official word about iPhone and RAW images, Android L will support RAW capture.  And considering that the Note 4 will almost certainly come with the latest OS, RAW images from the Note 4 may be entirely possible.  Adobe has been very busy updating their apps on both iOS and Android to support raw processing as well.<br /> <br /> There are many advantages to shooting in RAW.  Accurate re-white balancing during post processing, highlight and shadow recovery which would result in more visible dynamic range.<br /> <h3> High Bit-rate 4K Video Capture</h3> The 4K video is superb, especially on the new Galaxy S5 that lets you shoot HDR video.  The quality would be good enough for professional use if Samsung is willing to make some minor changes.  Currently, it’s capturing 4K video at 50mbits/sec and that bitrate is too low to keep up when there is a lot of movement on the screen.  So why not give the users an option to select something like 100mbits/sec for 4K video and let the user worry about the file size?  High bit-rate video in the right hands is very valuable.  Other features that are a must is the ability shoot 24p at 4K, also manual controls for shutter speed , ISO, and aperture are an absolute requirement as well.<br /> <br /> Not surprisingly, there’s a known mod or hack for rooted users that lets you record 4k video at 100mbits/sec, and these changes may be entirely possible if Samsung is willing to give their users the right options in the camera app.<br /> <h3> Google ChromeCast Compatibility of Samsung Apps</h3> Before ChromeCast, there was AllShare Cast with the same functionality of ChromeCast but it was never a huge seller like ChromeCast.  And now that ChromeCast offers basically the same type of functionality, there is even less of a reason to buy an AllShare Cast that costs double the price and has very little 3rd party support.  So Samsung should re-evaluate whether they want to continue to only support a small number of people who've bought an AllShare Cast, or whether they should let their stock apps support streaming to ChromeCast.  It would definitely be a nice feature to gain for all Samsung Galaxy users .<br /> <h3> One Voice Assistant Only</h3> It is time for the option to designate a single voice assistant such as S Voice or Google Now as a sole voice assistant on the Note 4.  Looking at both S Voice and Google Now, it is very redundant.  Sure there are a few things that S Voice can do that Google Now can’t.  But overall, Google Now seems to be the future.  It is clear that Google is willing to spend way more resources developing a voice assistant further than Samsung would ever be interested in doing.  So S Voice, it had a descent run, but we would like to see the Galaxy Note 4 optionally but also fully support Google Now the way it was meant to be used rather than S Voice being in the way without the option to change it.<br /> <h3> Galaxy Note 4 64GB & 128GB Options</h3> I personally have a 32GB Galaxy Note 3, and there have been times when I had to make a decision to uninstall an app for the sole purpose of freeing up space.  And really, having to make that decision decision seems rather unnecessary in 2014.  Solid state storage is incredibly cheap these days.  And whatever the reason it was for not having 64GB Galaxy Note 3, we hope Samsung can offer higher capacity devices for the Note 4.  Considering Google is making it ever so harder to actually use an external storage card, and demanding more of the internal storage for the OS, we’re going to need that extra space.<br /> <h3> S Pen Kickstand</h3> Many people have figured out you can kinda use it as a kickstand, but it is still way too unstable.  We have Samsung has noticed and designs the S Pen so that it can do officially double as a kickstand and offer a more sturdy way of doing this because it’s a feature that would be incredibly useful for many Note users.<br /> <div> <br /></div>

Galaxy Note 2, Android 4.4 What's New Part 5, Screen Recording, Can't Write to External SD

<div id="tdncontent"> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ikX0EhBS6M" target="_blank"><img alt=" " onload="tdnembed()" onmouseout="tdnout(this)" onmouseover="tdnover(this)" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2lCvxVv7ASI/U71jmbx93AI/AAAAAAAABiY/bmyFzPoBNrw/s685/%5BIMG_5252%5D071000h19m22.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /><br /><br /> </a></div> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">In this article, we'll discuss changes related to to screen recording, why you can't write to the external SD card, and the workarounds for it.</span><br /> <h3> One-Handed Operation for All Screens (Select Carriers Only)</h3> Although people some people received the One-Handed Operation for All Screens feature in the Android 4.3 update, it was assumed people who didn't get the update would eventually get it on Android 4.4.  It has turned out that many carriers did not have the option to push out the feature or decided against pushing out one a very useful feature we first saw on the Galaxy Note 3.  To verify if you received or didn't receive the feature, go to Settings -> My device -> One-handed operation -> and see if you have the checkbox for "Use for all screens." <br /> <br /> If you did or didn’t get it in your Android 4.4 update, we would appreciate it if you let us know in the comments.  If you didn’t get it, there are some alternatives to enabling this feature using a custom rom after you root the device.  One of the most popular roms for the Note 3 is the GN3 rom that gives you many of the Note 3 features on the Note 3.  However, we must stress that the hurdles and pitfalls of rooting have increased since Android 4.3 and KNOX, so only attempt it if you have rooted before.<br /> <h3> How to Screen Record (Non-Rooted Users)</h3> Screen recording is a way to record a high quality video captures of what’s on your screen currently.  Maybe you want to make a video of some gameplay for YouTube.  Or you want to create a video tutorial for the app you’ve written.  Screen recording is probably the best way to get the highest quality results.<br /> However, to enable screen recording it is a bit of a hassle.<br /> <br /> First you have to make sure you have the official Samsung drivers installed on your computer.  An easy way to install the official drivers for your Note 2 is to install Samsung Kies.  Next you need an executable file called adb.exe.  It is probably best if you just Google it f them on the web.  Third enable debugging on your Note 2.  Once you got all that set up, run this command:<br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> adb shell screenrecord --bit-rate 8000000 --time-limit 30 /sdcard/filename.mp4</blockquote> You can lower the bitrate to something lower if your device is running sluggish, but you will be lowering the quality of the video as well.  And the time limit is limited to 3 minutes, which is up to 180 seconds.  For a much more comprehensive video on how to do screen recording, even with sound, please check out a video we did earlier for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CmzMnqEpw0">Screen Recording for the Note 3</a>.<br /> <h3> How to Screen Record (Rooted Users)</h3> If you have rooted your device, this is where rooting comes in handy.  There are some paid apps that let you start a recording without having to connect it to your PC first, and there is no time limit.  Check out the app <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spectrl.rec&hl=en">Rec (Google Play Store)</a>.<br /> <h3> Apps Can Still Write to the SD Cards (with Limitations)</h3> Next let’s look at a new limitation you may encounter with Android 4.4.  You will see that your apps are no longer able to write freely to any location in the SD card.  If you attempt moving a file in your storage to any location on the SD card and you’ll notice that it’ll fail.  It is because Google has locked down where apps can write to, for the purposes of security and keeping the SD card clean from stray files.  This limitation has caught a lot of developers off guard, and many think it’s a bug or a mistake that Google will eventually reverse.  We at The Daily Note think it’s going to be enforced for the foreseeable future so here are some workarounds for it.<br /> <br /> First, while it’s true any apps you install can’t write to the SD card, system apps still can write to anywhere on the SD card.  For example, if you want to clear up storage, you can use the app My Files (built-in Samsung app) on your Galaxy Note 2 to move files from your internal storage to anywhere on the SD card.<br /> Second, the apps that you install can still write to an external SD card if the app has requested permission to do so.  But the catch is, the only location it can write to is (as shown in the video):<br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/app.pkg.name/files/</blockquote> Third, Samsung or your carrier can, if they want to, release an update that will lift this restriction.  It’s a simple setting in a system configuration file.  Samsung has changed it for the Note 3, and as you can see in the video, the Note 3 running Android 4.4 has no problems writing to any location on a SD card.  So hopefully Samsung or your carrier will release this small patch when they get around to it.<br /> <br /> Stay tuned for the Part 6 of What's New in Android 4.4 for the Galaxy Note 2!  We'll discuss all the little changes that you may have noticed in the update for the keen observer.

Galaxy Note 2 & Android 4 4: What's New, Part 4: NFC Card Mode, Tap & Pay

<div id="tdncontent"> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3de6EZsAX9U" target="_blank"><img alt=" " onload="tdnembed()" onmouseout="tdnout(this)" onmouseover="tdnover(this)" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HDn62Ez3XCo/U7iMlwoJegI/AAAAAAAABh0/pWnGFcMQkvQ/s685/%5BIMG_5252%5D07608h08m43.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /><br /><br /> </a></div> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Ever wonder what the NFC card mode is and how it works differently compared to Google Wallet and Pay?</span><br /> <h3> What is NFC Card Mode?</h3> When you enable NFC Card Mode from the notification panel, you’ll notice that the NFC chip behaves a little differently than it did before in Android 4.4.  You will see that when NFC Card mode is on you can scan it.  And it scans more like a smart card than a NFC tag.  What you’ve enabled is a new feature introduced in Android 4.4 called Host Card Emulation.  It will turn your Android effectively into a smart card for new payment and identification systems that should be adopted in the future. <br /> <h3> Uses for NFC Card Mode: Simple Transactions</h3> One new possibility for this new system is for a subway system to let people pay by swiping their smartphone as they enter a turnstile.  The limitation has always been, either the subway company had to overhaul their payment scanners so that it worked with the NFC chip on our smartphones, or it required the customer, you, to open the subway card app and make it temporarily work the subway scanner.  Both of these choices never seemed like an attractive solution for either parties.<br /> <br /> Now with NFC Card Mode, the subway system should theoretically only need to update their software, and you should able to scan your smartphone and a transaction can take place without you having to open any apps.<br /> <h3> Using NFC Card Mode as a Smart Card/Credit Card</h3> NFC Card mode can handle more complex transactions of paying with a credit card but without the need for a middleman like Google Wallet.  Currently, how NFC payments work is that it needs a secure element, aka a Google wallet or something like it, and your cellular service provider had to allow it to be on there.  And you can see why credit card companies, cellular providers, and Google would all have some conflicts of interest.  But now with NFC Card Mode it  eliminates the need for a middleman. <br /> <h3> What is the Catch?</h3> It sounds great but there's a catch, for now.  This technology is so new, you’ll most likely won’t be using it for a while.  And until then you can use the older NFC payment systems that accepts Google Wallet and wallets like it, which are actually somewhat in place.  And that’s where this new setting called “tap and pay” comes along. <br /> <h3> What is Tap and Pay?</h3> This new setting will let you have multiple wallets such as Google Wallet and Isis and you can change which one to use.  Before Android 4.4, you were locked into 1 that was chosen by your cellular carrier.<br /> <h3> Conclusion</h3> NFC Card Mode will come in handy for simple payment systems such as paying a subway fare, or maybe other functions such as unlocking a secured door at your work.  For payments, you’ll have to use an app to handle the transaction, but you won’t be required to go through a wallet system that your phone company has selected to allow.  The catch, at the time of this article, this is all for the future, and you can’t use it yet.  Until then , the current implementation of NFC payments have improved as well with Tap and Pay.  And you should be able to use it now if you see the NFC payment sysmbol and you have a something like Google wallet set up.
