Samsung Galaxy S3 10 Things You Didn’t Know It Did



Samsung Galaxy S3-10 Things You Didn’t Know It Did

One of the most feature packed devices on the market at the moment is no doubt the Samsung Galaxy S3. However thanks to the fact that it comes with so many features, it can be possible to miss some. So here we show you 10 the features that you might not know existed on your Samsung Galaxy S3.

Samsung Galaxy S3 hidden features roundup (Part 4)

If you chose the Samsung Galaxy S3 due to its large display and you are not technically minded then you might be happy to know you can choose to activate an easy UI mode on your device. This means that you will have large pre-set widgets and a simplified setup. All you have to do to get the mode is go into settings and choose the home screen mode.

When you are in contacts you can easily call or text people by swiping. All you have to do is swipe left to right if you want to call someone or right to left if you want to text someone.

If you want to save battery you can use the power saving feature. This mode will change many aspects on your phone, including screen brightness, haptic feedback, CPU speed and the colour of the web browser’s background.

Those people who take videos on their Samsung Galaxy S3 will be pleased to know that editing is possible and simple. You can trim your videos on the handset via the app in the drawer.

While there isn’t video output on the handset you can get an HDMI adapter which allows you to send HD videos directly to your HD TV. You can get your hands on the adapter for around $20.

If you want to view webpages offline than you can store web pages into the memory of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and read them at any time. All you have to do is hit the soft key menu button and then pick save for offline reading.

While you can use the Kies software for transferring photos, video and other files to your handset there is also the option to drag and drop. You can also sync your Samsung Galaxy S3 through Wi-Fi thanks to it.

You are not limited to one specific video format on the device as the S3 recognises many different formats. This means that you don’t have to worry about converting video before watching it on your handset.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with support for panoramic photos. This means that you can capture not just what’s in front of you, but also what’s to the sides.

If you lose your Samsung Galaxy S3 or it is stolen you have the option to wipe it remotely. You can do this by signing up to Samsung online and if your device is lost you can use the Find my Phone feature.

Finally there is a hidden Easter egg on the S3. If you want to see a Jelly Bean face on your device just keep clicking on the Android version and it will pop up. If you keep your finger pressed down on the face, your display will fill with jellybeans.[via]

Digital Fan Regulator Circuit Diagram

This is the project of Digital Fan Regulator Circuit diagram. The circuit presented here can be used to control the speed of  fans using induction motor. The speed control is nonlinear, i.e. in steps. The current step number is displayed on a 7-segment display. Speed can be varied over a wide range because the circuit can alter the voltage applied to the fan motor from 130V to 230V RMS in a maximum of seven steps.  The triac used in the final stage is fired at different angles to get different voltage outputs by applying short-dura-tion current pulses at its gate. For this pur-pose a UJT relax-ation oscillator is used that outputs sawtooth waveform. This waveform is coupled to the gate of the triac through an optocoupler (MOC3011) that has a triac driver output stage.  Pedestal voltage control is used for varying the firing angle of the triac. The power supply for the relaxation oscillator is derived from the rectified mains via 10-kilo-ohm, 10W series dropping/limit-ing...

Using the SG3525 PWM Controller Explanation and Example Circuit Diagram Schematic of Push Pull Converter

PWM is used in all sorts of power control and converter circuits. Some common examples include motor control, DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters and lamp dimmers. There are numerous PWM controllers available that make the use and application of PWM quite easy. One of the most popular of such controllers is the versatile and ubiquitous SG3525 produced by multiple manufacturers – ST Microelectronics, Fairchild Semiconductors, On Semiconductors, to name a few. SG3525 is used extensively in DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters, home UPS systems, solar inverters, power supplies, battery chargers and numerous other applications. With proper understanding, you can soon start using SG3525 yourself in such applications or any other application really that demands PWM control. Before going on to the description and application, let’s first take a look at the block diagram and the pin layout. Pins 1 (Inverting Input) and 2 (Non Inverting Input) are the inputs to the on-board error amplifier. If you a...

Automatic Intruder Alarm Circuit Diagram

Description: This is a simple single-zone burglar alarm circuit. Its features include automatic Exit and Entry delays and a timed Bell/Siren Cut-Off. It's designed to be used with the usual types of normally-closed input devices such as - magnetic reed contacts - micro switches - foil tape - and PIRs. But it can be Easily Modified to accept normally-open triggering devices - such as pressure mats. Circuit Diagram   Notes:   It's easy to use. First check that the building is secure and that the green LED is lit. Then move SW1 to the "set" position. The red LED will light. You now have about 30 seconds to leave the building. When you return and open the door - the Buzzer will sound. You then have about 30 seconds to move SW1 to the "off" position. If you fail to do so - the relay will energize and the Siren will sound. While at least one of the switches in the normally-closed loop remains open - the Siren will continue to sound. However, about 15-minutes aft...
