samsung galaxy s4 manual in spanish

before we get started with learning androidwe should get familiar with the buttons on the phone.this tutorial is using the samsung galaxy s3 running android version 4.3. this shouldbe identical for the galaxy s4, and similar for other android phones.on the right side of the phone is the power button. pressing this button while the phoneis on will turn the phone screen on for use. if you are already using the phone you canpress this button to lock the phone. if the phone is powered off holding this button fora few seconds will turn the phone on. on the left side of the phone is the volumebutton. it appears to be a single button, but it is two buttons. pressing the top ofthe button will turn the volume up, and pressing

the bottom of the button will turn the volumedown. at the bottom of the screen there is onlyone physical button. this is the “home” button. if you ever get lost, press this buttonto get back to the “home screen”. some other android phones have a physicalbutton on the left for “menu” and one on the right for “back”. the “menu”and “back” buttons on the samsung galaxy s3 are software buttonsthe back button can always be used to move back to the previous screen, and the “menu”button can be used to open the menu for the currently used screen. this will provide uniquesetting options for the app or screen you are using.we will see these more later.

when you first turn on your phone, or whenyou pick it up after not using it for a while, you will be greeted by a lock screen. becausethe phone is a touch screen, if there was not a “lock screen”, you might accidentallycall someone by the screen being pressed when in your pocket.on the home screen we will see the time and date, the charge level, and the status bar.if we swipe our finger across the screen we will see the background move and it will unlockthe phone. at the bottom of the screen is a set of iconsfor commonly used apps. instead of swiping the screen to unlock it, we can touch oneof the apps and swipe up on the screen. if we do this it will unlock the app and immediatelyopen the selected app.

let’s swipe across the screen to open it.when we first unlock the phone we will be greeted by the home screen. this is like thedesktop on your computer. this contains apps and widgets. widgets are apps that constantlyupdate their information right on the home screen, without having to open the app. somewidgets show the time and date, provide weather information, or quick access to music andplaylists. there are 7 unique home screens that showup on the phone. if we look at the bottom of the phone we will see a line with 7 dots.each one represents a unique home screen. we can swipe to the left or right to change home screens. as we change the screenswe can see that the highlighted dot changes. we can swipe back to the center home screen,or we can press the “home” button at the

bottom of the phone.at the bottom of the screen is a set of 4 default shortcuts to the most commonly usedapps, and a link to the “apps” installed on the phone.the default shortcuts are “phone”, “contacts”, “messaging”, and “internet”.let’s briefly review these 4 basic apps. “phone”. let’s touch the “phone”app to launch the “phone” application. when the “phone” app opens you will seethis screen. at the top of the screen are 4 separate optionswith the default of “keypad” selected. “keypad” is where you make a call by usingthe number pad. enter the number as you would normally dowith a regular phone. if you make a mistake

you can press the backspace button on thebottom right to delete the last number typed. when you have entered the correct number youcan press the green phone button to make the call.when you are making a call you will see the following options.“add call”. this option is used to make a conference call. after calling your firstnumber, press this button to dial another number to conference in.“keypad”. if you need to press a key to dial an extension, or something else, youcan press the “keypad” button to open the keypad. when finished you can press thebutton again to hide it. “end call”. this will disconnect the lineand end the call.

the bottom three buttons have a horizontalbar at the bottom that is grey when the option is turned off, and will turn green when itis on. “speaker”. this turns on the speakerphonefeature so you can put your phone down and talk hands free. the speaker is on the backof the phone so it is best to place the phone face down on a surface that won’t scratchit. this will allow you to hear better. “mute”. mute will block the audio so theperson you are calling cannot hear what you are saying.“headset”. this option will connect the call to a bluetooth headset to use for makingthe call. you need to have a headset already setup for this option to work. a future tutorialwill cover this step.

“recent”. this will show you a list ofthe recent phone numbers called on the phone. here we just have a single call entry thatwe tried earlier, but as you build up a call list it will show them seperated by day.here we can select a previous call made from or to the phone, and we can get additionaloptions. lets touch to select one of the entries.at the top of the screen we can see the phone number listed. if we click on the number itwill bring us back to the previous screen on the “recent calls”.at the bottom of the screen we have a list of the calls made to or from the selectedphone number. in the middle of the screen we have two button.one is a green phone icon used to call this

number. the other orange letter icon is usedto send a text message. at the top we have two buttons. one says “createcontact” and is used to create a new contact in the phone. “update existing” is usedto add a new number, such as a cell number to an existing home phone contact.let’s add this number to the phone as a new contact.let’s click “create contact”. when the new contact screen opens, it willshow the onscreen keyboard. if you want to close the keyboard to see the screen betteryou can click the “back” button once. to bring the keyboard back up click in oneof the data entry fields. enter a name for the contact.it already has the number entered under phone.

it sets the number as “mobile”. you canpress the bring up the drop down menu that allows you to select the number as home, work,pager, or others. we can enter an email address for the contactif we want. below the contact we can select custom “groups”,“ringtones”, “message alerts”, and “vibration patterns”.when we are happy with the information we can press “save” to save the contact.this is the saved information for the contact. we can edit the contact by pressing the “edit”button. we can also press the “star” icon at the top right of the screen to add thiscontact to the “favorites” list on the phone app.we can get back to the phone app by pressing

the back button until we are there, or wecan press the “home” button. we will select the “phone” app again.“favorites”. here we can see the contact favorite we added earlier.selecting the contact listed in favorites will bring up the contact information andallow you to phone or text the contact. “contacts”. here we can see some existingcontacts, as well as the contact we created earlier.here we can phone, text, or edit the contact. let’s exit back out to the home screen bypressing the “home” button on the phone. “contacts”. we have already covered addinga contact from the “phone” app, but we can also directly enter the “contacts”app to create new contacts, update existing

ones, and call or message a contact.let’s touch “contacts” to open it. we can see that this brings us back to the“contacts” screen in the “phone” app we saw before.let’s press the “home” button again to exit the app.“messaging”. messaging is the default app used to send text messages. these arenot email messages, but instead text messages sent directly to another cell phone number.let’s click on the “messages” app to open.we currently don’t have any text message conversations, but if we did they would showup below listed by number or contact name. we can create a new text message from hereby clicking the “new message” button.

in the “enter recipient” section we canenter one or more phone numbers or contacts. if we touch the “enter recipient” field,it will bring up the onscreen keyboard. they default keyboard only has letters on it. tobe able to enter numbers we need to click on the “123 sym” button in the bottomleft corner. “internet”.the internet can be launched by touching the “internet” browser app icon.the default internet app is the “android browser”.the browser will open the home page, which by default is “www.google.com”.if we don’t touch the screen for a couple of seconds the browser address bar will close.if we drag down it will show the address bar

again.we can go to a webpage by touching the address bar, and then entering the name of a new webpage.we will type in noaa.gov and press the “go” button.we can also open more than one web page by touching the page button just to the rightof the address bar. this will minimize the current webpage.touching the + icon will open a new webpage. if we touch the + icon again we can see thatthere are now two pages open. we can swipe between them and touch them to open the selected page.we can also close out one of the pages by touching the “-” sign at the top of the page.one of the first things i do on a new android device is install a different internet browser,as i don’t like this one. i prefer to use

the google internet browser app “chrome”.i would recommend that you download and install this app to use for browsing the internet.a future tutorial will cover the “chrome” app.“apps”. the apps button will open up the “apps and widgets” screen.we can see that the “apps” screen is currently selected at the top.this lists all the “apps” installed on the device.by default it will lists the “apps” installed on the phone as part of android or by themanufacturer. at the bottom of the screen we can see the3 dots with the left one highlighted to show that we have 3 total screens of apps.we can swipe the screen to move through the

available apps.the device starts off in alphabetical order. if you install any new apps on the phone theywill show up at the very end of the list. we can launch any of the apps by touchingthem to launch. we can also have one of the apps show up onone of the home screens. to do this touch and hold the app.this will open the home screen to allow you to place the app.if we drag our finger to either side of the screen it will scroll through the availablehome screens. when we find the screen we want we just needto place the icon and let go. if we want to move the icon we can touch andhold it again and place in a new location.

we can also delete app shortcuts from thehome screen by touching and holding it, then dragging it to the “remove” icon.let’s open back up the “apps and widgets” screen.if you want to just see the apps that you have downloaded to the device and not theones installed by the manufacturer you can touch the “downloaded apps” button.this is currently blank, but this will list only the apps you have downloaded.touch the back button in the top left to return to the “apps and widgets” screen.let’s touch to select the “widgets” screen.widgets are tiles that can be placed on the home screen that show updated informationfrom an app installed on the device.

some widgets show the clock and weather, emailmessages, calendar information and the like. by looking at the bottom of the screen wecan see that there are lots of available screens showing the installed widgets.many apps you will install will come with widgets to show you the most recent informationwithout having to open the app. we will add the “calendar” widget justlike we added an app shortcut to the home screen before.we touch and hold the widget, move to the side of the screen until we find a screenwith open space, then release. after we release the widget we will see aorange border with an orange dot on each side. we can use these to change the size of thewidget on the screen

touching outside the widget will place iton the screen. any of the widgets and icons can be rearrangedas we saw earlier. “google play store”. the “google playstore” is used to download and install new apps to your device.if not already there press the “home” button to navigate back to the default homescreen. the default layout has the “play store”icon on the default home screen. if you don’t have it here, or removed it,you can open it by touching “apps”, and then finding and touching “play store”to launch it. the default “play store” screen showshighlighted items promoted by the play store

the screen up to show more apps.let’s click on the “search” icon at the top right to search the “google playstore”. the onscreen keyboard will open at the bottomto enter the search term. we will search for the twitter app here toreview how to install a new app. as we start typing the name we will see thatit shows apps that match the search term. we can either finish typing the name or touchto select “twitter”. this will open the app screen. there are screenshotsshowing the app, number of downloads, date uploaded, size of the download, description,and down at the bottom we can read reviews. if we decide we want to install the app wecan just click the “install” button.

this will open the “app permissions” menushowing the device information the app will need permission to use to work properly.if we agree that the requested information is alright to be viewed by the selected appwe touch to select the “accept” button. we will then see the app download and install.when the installation has finished we will return to the home screen by pressing the“home” button. any new apps will show up on one of the homescreens with available space.. it will also show up in the “apps” menuof all installed apps, and it can be added to any of the home screens as needed.“recent apps menu”. you can open back up any of the previously running apps on thephone, that are still running, by holding

the “home” button down for a couple ofseconds. at the top of the screen we have tiles showingany running apps. if there are too many to fit them all on thescreen we can scroll through them by swiping up or down on the screen.we can open any of the running apps by touching the tile.we can close out of a running app by swiping the tile to the right or left.we can close all the open apps on the phone at the same time by touching the “closeall” button. when we open back up the recent apps screenwe can see that because we closed all the apps it says “no recent apps”.android also features a “task manager”

app. task manager is used to view the “activeapps”, “downloaded” apps, and “ram” status.we can open the “task manager” by touching the “task manager” button at the bottomleft of the screen. “active applications” is selected by default.it lists the number of open applications with each application listed individually below.each app shows the ram and cpu usage. we can close out of each app by touching the“end” button. if we want to close out of all the apps atthe same time we can press the “end all” button.“downloaded”. this lists any installed apps, that you have installed on the phone,if any.

at the bottom of the screen it will show howmany apps and processes were closed down. the “active apps” screen we saw beforeonly showed a couple of apps, but more apps than that show as being closed out. theseare the background processes that were running on the phone.closing these background apps will free up system resources and help your phone run faster.“quick settings and notification menu”. the quick settings and notification menu isaccessed by dragging your finger down from the top of the screen.at the top of the screen are the quick settings icons. by default it only shows 5 icons. youcan see the additional settings by swiping your finger to scroll right or left.this button in the top right toggles the detailed
