Here’s your guide to your phone’s buttons, its touchscreen, and the keyboard:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Power button:</strong> The Power button is on the top-right side of the phone. Press it for a few seconds, and the screen lights up. Press it for a second while the phone is on and the phone goes into sleep mode. To shut down the phone completely, simply press and hold the Power button for a few seconds. Then choose the Power Off option from the menu.</li>\n<li><strong>The Volume button(s):</strong> Two Volume buttons location on the top-left side of the phone: one to increase the volume, and the other to lower it.</li>\n<li><strong>The touchscreen:</strong> The Galaxy S10 phone offers one of the highest-resolution touchscreens, the Super AMOLED, on the market. It’s sensitive enough to allow you to move the screen carefully, but not so sensitive that it’s hard to manage.</li>\n<li><strong>Extended Home screen:</strong> This is the first screen that you see. You actually have multiple screens. The extended Home screen is where you can organize icons and other functions to make the phone convenient for you. You’ll find your extended Home screen has some apps already preloaded for you by Samsung and your cellular carrier. Here’s what you’ll find on your Home screen:</li>\n<li><strong>Notification area:</strong> The notification area is located at the top of the phone and presents you with small icons that let you know if something important is up, like battery life.</li>\n<li><strong>Primary shortcuts:</strong> These five icons at the bottom of the screen remain stationary as you move across the seven Home screens. Samsung and your cellular carrier have determined that these are the most important applications on your phone.</li>\n<li><strong>Device Function keys:</strong> These keys (Recent Apps, Home, and Back) reside on the bottom of the phone and control essential phone functions, regardless of what else you have going on at the moment.</li>\n<li><strong>Keyboard:</strong> All Galaxy S phones come with a software keyboard. It pops up onscreen when you need to enter text. Otherwise, it goes away to give you the maximum amount of useful screen real estate.</li>\n</ul>\n"}],"videoInfo":{"videoId":null,"name":null,"accountId":null,"playerId":null,"thumbnailUrl":null,"description":null,"uploadDate":null}},"sponsorship":{"sponsorshipPage":false,"backgroundImage":{"src":null,"width":0,"height":0},"brandingLine":"","brandingLink":"","brandingLogo":{"src":null,"width":0,"height":0}},"primaryLearningPath":"Explore","lifeExpectancy":"One year","lifeExpectancySetFrom":"2022-03-28T00:00:00+00:00","dummiesForKids":"no","sponsoredContent":"no","adInfo":"","adPairKey":[]},"status":"publish","visibility":"public","articleId":263552},{"headers":{"creationTime":"2022-03-28T16:26:39+00:00","modifiedTime":"2022-03-28T16:27:44+00:00","timestamp":"2022-03-28T18:01:06+00:00"},"data":{"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33512"},"slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Electronics","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33543"},"slug":"electronics","categoryId":33543},{"name":"Cell Phones","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33544"},"slug":"cell-phones","categoryId":33544},{"name":"Samsung Galaxy","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33548"},"slug":"samsung-galaxy","categoryId":33548}],"title":"Samsung Galaxy S22 For Dummies Cheat Sheet","strippedTitle":"samsung galaxy s22 for dummies cheat sheet","slug":"samsung-galaxy-s22-for-dummies-cheat-sheet","canonicalUrl":"","seo":{"metaDescription":"Keep this Cheat Sheet handy as you're learning to use your new Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphone.

This is especially useful for architecture, landscapes, and seascapes.</li>\n<li><strong>Formats: </strong>Tap High Efficiency instead of Most Compatible.</li>\n<li><strong>HDR:</strong> Keep Smart HDR on unless you are doing high-contrast street photography.</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"title":"Create a sharp iPhone photograph","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>Try the following tips and tricks to create a sharp and well-composed iPhone photograph:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Steady yourself.</strong> Don’t hold your iPhone out with arms extended. Hold your iPhone as close to your face or chest as possible, as long as you can see the screen clearly. Near-sighted people will have the advantage here. The closer your iPhone is held to your upper body, the steadier you will be when you take the photo. Push your elbows into your rib cage for added stability.</li>\n<li><strong>Adjust your screen. </strong>Too many iPhone photographers shoot and edit with their screen brightness set to medium or low. This is a mistake! Go into Settings and increase your screen brightness to maximum. This is important for both taking photos and editing your photos, but more important for the editing process. An exception, of course, is if you’re photographing in a concert or theater where the brightness of your screen will be a distraction to others.</li>\n<li><strong>Breathe.</strong> When the light gets lower in the sky your iPhone’s electronic shutter will need to stay open longer. If you’re not using a tripod and are holding your iPhone in your hand, take a deep breath, and at the very point that you have fully exhaled, take the photo. You will have a steadier shot when your lungs are not active for that brief moment.</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"title":"Photograph as many genres as possible","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>Specialist photographers often get to the point in their careers where they’re established enough to be able to afford to specialize. Until you get to that point, learn about the various photographic genres and practice them whenever possible. The more diverse your photographic collection and portfolio, the more opportunities you&#8217;ll have.</p>\n<p>Here are some tips that will point you in the right direction:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Landscape photography:</strong> Use a tripod with a mobile device clip to hold your iPhone to the tripod head. Photograph early in the morning and at dusk. Use the Rule of Thirds grid to help you compose your landscape photos.</li>\n<li><strong>Sports photography: </strong>Use Burst mode to capture many sequential photos to make sure you get the shot of the fast-moving athlete. A Live Photo can do this as well, but the quality options aren’t as advanced as Burst mode.</li>\n<li><strong>Family portraits: </strong>To create a sense of depth in your family or individual photos, avoid the sun shining straight onto their faces. Try to have the low evening sunshine from slightly behind the models, which creates an attractive golden rim of warm light. Focus and expose for the faces by doing a long-press on one of the faces to activate AE/AF lock.</li>\n<li><strong>Travel and vacations. </strong>Keep signed in to iCloud and take advantage of free Wi-Fi at cafes and your hotel. With many automatic uploads of your photos each day, your photos will be protected in the cloud in case you lose your iPhone.</li>\n<li><strong>Still life and products: </strong>Create a mini studio using white, gray, and black Bristol board from your local art supply or dollar store. Use a large window for your single source of light and allow a white sheet of Bristol board to reflect light back onto your product or still life. You can place all of this on a table near a window in your house.</li>\n<li><strong>Street photography:</strong> Photograph the people you encounter respectfully and learn the municipal laws and protocols of street photography in your location before your trip begins. Find a cool-looking background and wait for people to enter your frame.</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"title":"Follow editing best practices","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>One of the biggest disappointments that first-time iPhone photographers face is mediocre-looking photos. They don’t realize that taking the photo is only the first part! Editing your photo is like painting a canvas, and your editing tools are the paint brushes. Try these editing tips for great-looking photographs:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avoid guilt.</strong> Don’t let anyone tell you that editing your photo is cheating. Your photo is your art, and there are no limitations to creating art. However, if you’re photographing in the context of photojournalism or commercial photographic genres, you will need to follow genre-specific ethical editing guidelines.</li>\n<li><strong>Maintain subtlety. </strong>Unless your artistic style is purposefully meant to be over the top, keep subtlety in mind when using photographic filters.</li>\n<li><strong>Revisit your edits. </strong>Because your iOS Photos collection is within a non-destructive environment, you can always go back to your original photo, even years later, and apply new filters or edits based on changing editing styles.</li>\n<li><strong>Aspect ratio choices.</strong> Choose a specific aspect ratio for your intended output. For example, 1-x-1 square is great for Instagram, vertical 9-x-16 works well for Pinterest and IGTV thumbnails, and 2-x-3 is a common aspect ratio for the standard 4-x-6-inch print at your local photo store.</li>\n</ul>\n"}],"videoInfo":{"videoId":null,"name":null,"accountId":null,"playerId":null,"thumbnailUrl":null,"description":null,"uploadDate":null}},"sponsorship":{"sponsorshipPage":false,"backgroundImage":{"src":null,"width":0,"height":0},"brandingLine":"","brandingLink":"","brandingLogo":{"src":null,"width":0,"height":0}},"primaryLearningPath":"Explore","lifeExpectancy":"Six months","lifeExpectancySetFrom":"2022-02-24T00:00:00+00:00","dummiesForKids":"no","sponsoredContent":"no","adInfo":"","adPairKey":[]},"status":"publish","visibility":"public","articleId":271474},{"headers":{"creationTime":"2016-03-27T16:46:47+00:00","modifiedTime":"2022-02-15T19:41:25+00:00","timestamp":"2022-02-24T17:07:32+00:00"},"data":{"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33512"},"slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Electronics","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33543"},"slug":"electronics","categoryId":33543},{"name":"Cell Phones","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33544"},"slug":"cell-phones","categoryId":33544},{"name":"iPhones","_links":{"self":"https://dummies-api.dummies.com/v2/categories/33547"},"slug":"iphones","categoryId":33547}],"title":"iPhone Customization For Seniors For Dummies Cheat Sheet","strippedTitle":"iphone customization for seniors for dummies cheat sheet","slug":"iphone-seniors-dummies-cheat-sheet","canonicalUrl":"","seo":{"metaDescription":"Find what you need to customize your iPhone's behavior with this Cheat Sheet, which reviews some of the most useful features and apps.","noIndex":0,"noFollow":0},"content":"It's not always obvious how you can modify how your iPhone works.

The following is a list of ways in which you can use Siri for everyday things; some you may have already thought of; and others might be new to you:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you own an iPhone 6s or newer, you can simply say &#8220;Hey, Siri&#8221; followed by a command to make Siri work for you. You don&#8217;t have to be connected to power. iPhones older than the 6s can still utilize this feature, but they must be connected to power for this to work (which takes a bit of the fun out of it, but it&#8217;s still a cool feature). To enable the ability to speak commands to Siri, go to Settings→Siri→Allow &#8220;Hey Siri&#8221; and toggle the switch to On (green).</li>\n<li>Be reminded about an event or a task. For example, if you&#8217;re viewing a web page, engage Siri and say &#8220;remind me about this&#8221; and it gets added to your Reminders app. You can also tell Siri when to remind you, if you&#8217;d like to set a specific time.</li>\n<li>Check out sports scores by asking Siri how your team did. You can ask &#8220;How did Notre Dame do yesterday?&#8221; or &#8220;Did the Cleveland Browns lose again yesterday?&#8221; Siri will give you the scores. You can even find rankings, what time and channel when a sporting event is appearing, and more. Just ask!</li>\n<li>Open an app with a simple command. For example, say &#8220;Open Netflix.&#8221; The Netflix app will open (if it&#8217;s installed, of course).</li>\n<li>Convert measurements on the go. Ask something like &#8220;How many liters are in a gallon?&#8221; or &#8220;How many millimeters is 5.5 meters?&#8221; The inimitable Siri tells you in an instant.</li>\n<li>Tell Siri which song or artist you&#8217;d like to listen to, and it&#8217;ll happen. Say &#8220;Play Purple Rain&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;d like to listen to Fleetwood Mac.&#8221; The song or artist will begin playing. You could also say &#8220;Stop playing music&#8221; to pause the song.</li>\n<li>Siri can help you determine how much of a tip to leave your server. Say &#8220;How much is an 18 percent tip for a $34.36 bill?&#8221; Siri will promptly tell you to give $6.18.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>There is much, much more that Siri can do.

But every so often it might cause you a problem. Here’s a quick review of things you can try if your iPhone misbehaves.</p>\n<p>Start with the first step — suggestions in later steps are more drastic.</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Restart your iPhone.For iPhones with Face ID, press the volume up button, press the volume down button, and then hold down the side button until the Apple logo appears. Then release the side button.For iPhones with Touch ID, press and hold down the top (or side) button and the Home button. When you see the Apple logo, release both buttons.</li>\n<li>Force any frozen applications to quit.Swipe the app upward from the app switcher.</li>\n<li>Reset the iPhone settings.Tap the Settings icon on your Home screen, and then tap General, Transfer or Reset iPhone, Reset, Reset All Settings. Resetting iPhone settings won’t erase your data, but you’ll probably have to change some settings afterwards.</li>\n<li>Restore your iPhone.Connect your iPhone to your computer as though you were about to sync. Then select the iPhone in the iTunes source list (or Finder sidebar for macOS Catalina or later), and click the Restore button on the Summary tab.</li>\n</ol>\n<p class=\"article-tips warning\">The last suggestion erases all your data and media and resets all your settings.</p>\n<p>Because your data and media (except photos you’ve taken as well as contacts, calendar events, and playlists you’ve created or modified since your last sync) still exist on your computer, you shouldn’t lose anything. Your next sync will take longer, and you will have to reset any settings you’ve changed since you purchased your iPhone. But your media and data files shouldn’t be affected.</p>\n<p>One last thing: If you’re using iCloud, photos you’ve taken and calendar events and new contacts you’ve added since your last sync should be in the cloud and should reappear after you restore. The only items in danger, at least in theory, are playlists you’ve created on your iPhone since your last sync. However, it wouldn’t hurt to let Finder (or iTunes) back up the contents of your iPhone before you click the Restore button.</p>\n"},{"title":"10 ways to have fun with Siri","thumb":null,"image":null,"content":"<p>Everyone loves Siri, the (usually) intelligent assistant inside our iPhones.

iPhones How to Browse Your iPhone’s Files in iOS 11

Article / Updated 01-14-2022

Before iOS 11 came out, long-time iPhone users pined for a way to browse files stored on their devices, as opposed to being limited to finding documents and other files only within the apps they’re intended for or created by. When iOS 11 came out, it introduced a new app called Files, which allows you to browse not only for files stored on your iPhone, but also see stuff you stored on other online (cloud) services, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and others. How to use the Files app You’ll find the Files app on the second home screen, by default. Tap the Files icon to open the app. On the Browse screen: Tap the Search field to search for items by title. Tap a source in the Locations or Favorites sections to browse a particular service or your iPhone. Tap colors under Tags to search for files you’ve tagged according to categories. Once in a source, you may tap files to open or preview them, and you may tap folders to open them and view their contents. Tap Select in the upper-right corner of the screen and then tap items to select them for an action. Available actions, found at the bottom of the screen, include Duplicating files: Make copies of selected items. Moving files: Move files to other sources. Sharing files: Share files with other people in a variety of ways (Messages and Mail, for example). You can even invite them to make edits, if you like. Deleting files: Trash files you no longer need. Should you like to retrieve a file you’ve deleted, go the Browse screen (tap Browse at the bottom of the screen if you’re not already there) and tap Recently Deleted. Tap Select in the upper-right corner, tap the file you’d like to retrieve, and tap the Recover button at the bottom of the screen. The file will be placed back in the location it was originally deleted from. Please note that some services may not allow you to retrieve a file you’ve deleted; if you don’t see the file you’re looking for, contact that particular service.

Androids How to Handle Roaming on an Android Phone

Article / Updated 01-14-2022

The word roam takes on an entirely new meaning when applied to an Android phone. It means that your phone receives a cell signal whenever you’re outside your cell phone carrier’s operating area. In that case, your phone is roaming. Roaming sounds handy, but there’s a catch: It almost always involves a surcharge for using another cellular service — an unpleasant surcharge. Relax: Your Android phone alerts you whenever it’s roaming. A Roaming icon appears at the top of the screen, in the status area, whenever you’re outside your cellular provider’s signal area. The icon differs from phone to phone, but generally the letter R figures in it somewhere, similar to what’s shown in the image. How to turn off data roaming on your phone There’s little you can do to avoid incurring roaming surcharges when making or receiving phone calls. Well, yes, you could wait until you’re back in an area serviced by your primary cellular provider. You can, however, altogether avoid using the other network’s data services while roaming. Follow these steps: Open the Settings app. In the Wireless & Networks section, touch the More item. Choose Mobile Networks. On some Android phones, you may have to choose Battery & Data Manager and then Data Delivery. Remove the check mark by the Data Roaming option. On some phones the option is titled Global Data Roaming Access. Choose it and then choose the Deny Data Roaming Access option. Your phone can still access the Internet over the Wi-Fi connection when it roams. Setting up a Wi-Fi connection doesn’t make you incur extra charges, unless you have to pay to get on the wireless network. How to avoid texting surcharges Another network service you might want to disable while roaming has to do with multimedia, or MMS, text messages. To avoid surcharges from another cellular network for downloading an MMS message, follow these steps: Open the phone’s text messaging app. Ensure that you’re viewing the apps’ main screen, the one that lists all the conversations. Touch the Back icon or the app icon in the upper-left corner of the screen until the app’s main screen is displayed. Touch the Action Overflow icon or Menu icon. Choose the Settings or the Messaging Settings command. Remove the check mark by the Auto-Retrieve or Roaming Auto-Retrieve command. Or if the item isn’t selected, you’re good to go — literally. The lock screen may also announce that the phone is roaming. You might see the name of the other cellular network displayed. The text Emergency Calls Only might also appear.

iPhones How to Turn On White on Black on Your iPhone

Article / Updated 11-08-2021

If you are an iPhone user who has visual challenges, the black-and-white screen option offers a black background with white lettering that some people find easier to use when reading text. The White on Black accessibility setting reverses colors on your screen so that backgrounds are black and text is white. To turn on this feature, tap the Settings icon on the Home screen. Tap General and then scroll down and tap Accessibility. In the Accessibility dialog, tap the White on Black On/Off button to turn on this feature. The colors on the screen reverse. Tap the Home button to leave Settings. The White on Black feature works well in some places and not so well in others. For example, in the Photos application, pictures appear almost as photo negatives. Your Home screen image will likewise look a bit strange. And don’t even think of playing a video with this feature turned on! However, if you need help reading text, White on Black can be useful in several applications. For more help on iPhone accessibility features, check out iPhone Accessibility Options for Easier iPhone Operation.

Androids How to Tether an Internet Connection with an Android Phone

Article / Updated 10-15-2021

One way to share the Android phone’s digital cellular connection is to connect the phone directly to a computer and activate the tethering feature. Not every Android phone has this capability. Tethering is a solid way to provide Internet access to another gizmo, such as a laptop or a desktop computer. Follow these steps to set up Internet tethering: Connect the phone to a computer or laptop by using the USB cable. The best success with this operation is when the computer is a PC running Windows. Open the Settings app. Choose More, and then choose Tethering & Mobile Hotspot. Place a check mark by the USB Tethering item. Internet tethering is activated. The other device should instantly recognize the phone as a “modem” with Internet access. Further configuration may be required, which depends on the computer using the tethered connection. For example, you may have to accept the installation of new software when prompted by Windows. When tethering is active, a Tethering or Hotspot Active notification icon appears. Choose that notification to further configure tethering. Unlike creating a Wi-Fi hotspot, you don’t need to disable the Wi-Fi radio to activate USB tethering. Sharing the digital network connection incurs data usage charges against your cellular data plan. Be careful with your data usage when you’re sharing a connection.
