By enabling this feature, you can set your phone to recognize your wake-up command to perform a specified function while the screen is locked (e.g: unlock the screen, play the music, open the Camera app, etc).

    • Turn on/off Hands-free mode: select this option to enable or disable Hands-free mode.
  7. Select the required function.
  8. Tap the mic icon located at the bottom of the screen.
  9. Now, you have to say the word or phrase you want to use as the wake-up command 4 times. To help the device easily recognize your wake-up command, use 3-5 syllables and maintain constant intonation.
  10. When your four wake up commands have been successfully recognized, then tap Done button.
  11. To set other wake-up functions, repeat from the step #6.

How to use the wake-up command?
If you have enabled and configured the wake-up commands, then you can use them to perform a specified function directly from the lock screen. The following is an example on how to use the wake up command:
  1. If your screen is off, press the Home key or the Power key to display the lock screen.
  2. You'll see the mic icon on the status bar as a sign that the wake-up command on lock screen is enabled and can be used by you.
  3. Say the required wake-up command.
  4. The device will perform the function, e.g: if you say the wake-up command to play the music, then the device will automatically play the recently played song in the Music player app.


How to customize the wake-up command?
In case you want to know your current wake-up commands, change the current wake-up command or function to the new one as well as reset the wake-up functions, then you can do so by using the following steps:
  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap My device tab.
  3. Tap Lock screen.
  4. With the "Swipe" has been selected as the screen lock method, scroll down to the Set wake-up command and then tap it.

    • Listen to my voice: tap this option to listen to your current wake-up command.
    • Change command: tap this option to change the current wake-up command to the new one. Follow the on-screen instruction to complete the wake-up command recognition.
    • Change function: tap this option to change the current function to the new one without changing the wake-up command.
    • Reset: tap this option to revert back the selected wake-up function to the default.

Aside from giving you another alternative way to control and interact your phone, the wake up command will also be able to help you to save your time because you can quickly and easily perform a specified function directly from the lock screen. As a note, since you're only allowed to assign 4 wake-up functions, thus it'd better if you set them to perform the most frequently used functions.

Samsung Galaxy S4: How to Enable and Use Beauty Face Mode in Camera App in Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

Have you ever felt dissatisfied with your portrait photo because your face was having acne or had large pores? If that so, you may have to try the beauty face feature in the Samsung Galaxy SIV.

Samsung Galaxy S4: How to Enable and Use Drama Shot Feature in Camera App in Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

Drama is a camera mode available in the stock camera app in the Samsung Galaxy SIV. By using this mode you will be allowed to take a series of photos of a moving object in sequence in one frame and then combine them into a single image. Given its function, this mode will be helpful if you want to show a trails of the movement or show the speed of a moving object within a single image.


How to take a drama shot?
Before taking a moving object using drama shot, you have to meet all of the following conditions so that you can get the best result:
  • The subject is moving in one direction.
  • No other moving object in the background.
  • The color of the subject and the background should be different.
  • The subject is not too close or too far away to fit within the viewfinder. It needs to be done so that the subject has enough space to move from one side of the camera's preview screen to other, thus you can capture the movement of the subject across the entire screen.
  • The subject is not too long such as bus or train so that the trails of movement can be captured in one frame.


If all conditions above have been met, than you're ready to take a drama shot by using the following steps:
  1. Open Camera app.
  2. Tap and then select Drama.
  3. By default, the camera will focus in the middle of the screen. So, if necessary, you can change the focus manually by tapping anywhere on the screen where the camera should be focused. The focus icon will turn green when the focus is locked.
  4. Tap to take a drama shot. The camera will capture the moving object in several times in sequence within one frame, thus you have to hold the phone as steady as possible until the camera has finished taking a series of photos.
  5. All captured photos will be displayed at the bottom of the screen and you can select which photos you want to combine.
  6. Tap Save button.
  7. All selected photos will be combined into a single image. You can see the picture above to know how a drama shot image will be looked like.

FYI, I've ever read in Samsung website that this mode could capture an object that was moving at 160 miles per hour with a good result, but I personally have not ever managed to capture a moving object with high speed because the subject was always blurred or didn't captured well. I thought it caused because I didn't hold the phone steadily while the camera was taking the moving object. So, how about you? Have you managed to capture a moving object with this mode?

How to use Android Beam to transfer files?
Once Android Beam in both devices are enabled, then you can use it to beam app content between the devices. As the example, we'll try to send picture, video and contact using Android Beam from the Samsung Galaxy S5 to the Samsung Galaxy S4.

  2. Tap an album and then tap the required picture to view it.

As same as S Beam, you can't use Android Beam to beam music due to software limitation.

S Beam is an advanced connectivity feature that can be found in the Samsung Galaxy S5. This feature works by combining NFC and Wi-Fi direct. NFC is used to pair both the devices and Wi-Fi direct is used to transfer file.
