Tips For Samsung





How to use Bixby

         Bixby, Samsung’s new AI-powered assistant, is a tap away from every screen. The Galaxy S8 has a dedicated Bixby button that will eventually trigger actions like sending a photo to a friend and casting a video to a smart TV. For now, though, it pulls up Bixby Home, Samsung’s take on a Google Now-style anticipatory assistant. Bixby Home consists of cards highlighting the weather forecast, breaking news, and more. But it’s more than just an organizer. Home learns your preferences and habits over time — if you typically call a loved one after work, for example, it’ll serve up contact info at the appropriate time each day.

There’s more to Bixby than Home. Saying “Hey Bixby” pulls up Bixby Voice, a Siri-like voice assistant that gives restaurant recommendations, dictates text messages, controls Samsung’s Connected line of smart home products, and more. Bixby Vision, yet another component of the overarching AI, recognizes objects and text in images and directs you to relevant shopping links.

How to schedule a doctor’s appointment with S Health

                   Whether you’re feeling under the weather or due for a physical, the Galaxy S8’s built-in S Health app has you covered. Thanks to deep integration with WebMD and Amwell, you can browse symptoms and drugs, find nearby pharmacies, schedule an online visit with a doctor, and reserve a video appointment with a certified physician. The new S Health app is capable of more. It can store information regarding upcoming appointments like symptoms, photos, prescriptions, and insurance information, and it offers quick access to emergency services.

How to use the new emoji

                  The Galaxy S8 ships with a bundle of new emoji from Emoji 4.0, the newest collection of icons approved by the Unicode Consortium. They include a giraffe, broccoli, a pretzel, chopsticks, a scientist, judge, pilot, teacher, and a boy with bunny ears. Using them is as easy as pulling up the Galaxy S8’s default keyboard and tapping the emoji button. Then, it’s just a matter of scrolling through the the list until you find the one you want.


How to use the iris scanner

               One of the Galaxy S8’s coolest features is an iris scanner that secures your phone by recording your eye’s unique vein structure. It’s a quick, secure way to hide your sensitive information from prying eyes, and it’s relatively easy to calibrate.

Head to Settings > Lock screen and security > Irises. When you tap the button to add an iris, you’ll be prompted to hold the Galaxy S8 about 25-35 centimeters from your face. After you’ve positioned your eyes in the circles shown on the screen and followed the prompts, the scanner will save your iris to the Galaxy S8’s secure storage.

                   It’s important to note that the iris scanner doesn’t work with sunglasses or decorative contact lenses. If you’ve undergone an eye operation like LASIK or LASEK, you’ll need to re-register your iris — the operations can cause slight changes in your cornea that throw off the scanner.

How to replace your desktop with Dex

The Galaxy S8 is the first to ship with Samsung’s Dex technology, a dock-based software mode that transforms the phone into a full-blown desktop replacement.

              If you’ve used Chrome OS, you’ll feel right at home with Dex. The apps launch in resizable windows that support right-click functions, copy-and-paste, and other familiar functions. Samsung has worked with Microsoft and Adobe to optimize the two companies’ apps for Dex mode, and will soon launch a software kit that lets developers fine-tune their apps for Dex. Dex works with any Android app, but a word of warning: Apps that don’t officially support it won’t perform as well. The Dex dock starts at $150, and offers USB ports that accommodate keyboards, mice, and USB storage sticks.

How to customize screen edges

The Galaxy S8’s curved screen, just like the S7 Edge’s, is highly customizable. The Edge panels — the right- and left-most sides of the curved screen — display the weather, news, incoming text alerts, and more.

           To access them, drag from the top right of the curved edge. If you swipe a finger along either edge when the screen is off, you’ll get Edge feed, a ticker tape of useful information like missed calls, the time, and more. You can swap out Edge feeds and download new ones by heading to Settings > Edge screen > Edge feeds.

Swapping the edge panels is easy. Head to Settings > Edge screen > Edge panels, and you’ll see three different options: App Edge lets you select your 10 favorite apps; the People Edge enables you to choose five contacts; the Tasks Edge lets you set up to 10 shortcuts for tasks.

You can tweak the appearance of the Edge panels in Settings > Edge screen > Edge panels > Edge panel handle settings, where you’ll see toggles to tweak the side the handle should appear on, what size it should be, its transparency, and its vertical position.
How to use Always-On display

                  The Galaxy S8’s Always-On display feature keeps the phone’s screen dimly lit even when it’s switched off. You’ll see alerts for missed calls, incoming text messages, and other useful info near the screen center. 

By default, the time is displayed, but you can customize the appearance of the Always-On display to your liking by heading to Settings > Display and Wallpaper > Always On Display. You can disable the feature altogether, or select which content you’d like to see: Clock (with a choice of clock style), Calendar, or Image. Additionally, you can download and apply new Always-On Display themes in Settings > Themes.

How to multitask with Multi Window

galaxy s8 tips and tricks multitask
The ability to use multiple windows is a godsend. You can watch videos while browsing the web, for example, or copy text from a webpage to an email draft.

                   Whatever the need, it’s easier than ever to use two apps at once on the Galaxy S8. Press and hold the Recents key (the button to the left of your Home button), and tap the Multi Window mode button on one app, then another. To adjust the size of an app, press and hold the white circle in the middle of the two app windows, drag it to the position you want, and let go. You can invert the positions of both open apps by pressing the aforementioned white circle and tapping the invert positions button (furthest left in the Multi Window menu), or drag and drop content from one app to another by selecting the drag and drop content button. To minimize an app, tap the white circle button again and hit the minimize button (the two arrows pointing toward each other in a box). To maximize it, hit the maximize button (the double-sided arrow in the box). To close an app, tap the X-shaped close button.

How to use Secure Folder

The Galaxy S8’s Secure Folder feature keeps files, photos, and apps hidden from prying eyes. Content inside the folder is inaccessible without a password, PIN, or fingerprint.

                    To set up a secure folder, open Samsung’s Galaxy Store and search for (and install) the Secure Folder app. Log in with your Samsung Account, and then add a password, PIN, fingerprint, or iris. Finally, tap on the newly created Secure Folder.

10 practical software testing

10 practical software testing 1) Learn to analyze your test results thoroughly. Do not ignore the test result. The final test result may be ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ but troubleshooting the root cause of ‘fail’ will lead you to the solution on it. Tester will be respected if they not log the bugs but also provide solutions. 2) Learn to maximize the test coverage every time you test any application. Though 100 percent test coverage might not be possible still you can always try to reach near it. 3) To ensure maximum test coverage break your application under test (AUT) into smaller functional types. Then Just write test cases on such individual unit of types. Also if possible break these type into smaller parts. E.g: Lets assume you have divided your website application in modules and ‘accepting user information’ is one of the modules. You can also break this ‘User information’ screen into smaller parts for writing test cases: Parts such like UI test, security test, functional test o...
