How to get to Google Now on the Samsung Galaxy S4

On many Android phones with on-screen keys, getting to Google Now -- the excellent predictive/voice-controlled search app in Android 4.1 and above -- is simply a matter of swiping up from the bottom of the screen. It's not quite as simple as that on the new Samsung Galaxy S4, but fear not, there are still a few quick and easy ways to get to the new Google Search app.

How to change, reset and customize the Galaxy S4 lock screen message

Anyone who holds a Samsung Galaxy S 4 would be very familiar with the phone lock screen message of "Life companion" on Samsung Galaxy S 4. And that's a fine slogan originally designed by Samsung for its S4 owners. But out of customization, if you're a little tired of seeing it on your phone every time you turn it on, you are able to change, reset and customize the lock screen message of Galaxy S 4.

It’s very easy to change, reset and customize the lock screen message of Galaxy S 4. Samsung's taking advantage of the lock screen widgets in Android 4.2.2 to provide that custom greeting, clock and date as soon as you wake the phone. You can change the font, color and size, remove the clock and date if you want, or get rid of the widget altogether.
