Samsung Galaxy Charging Situations

Every Android user usually has a battery problem with their smartphone. Phone batteries gradually decay with repeated charging and eventually discharge more quickly than when they were first purchased. But, if you’re constantly on the run, you wouldn’t want to occasionally deal with a dead phone, would you?

What is battery health?

Simply said, a battery’s health is determined by how much it has deteriorated over the course of each charge cycle. Let’s pretend your Android phone has a 4500mAh battery to put things in perspective.

When the phone is fully charged, the battery will hold 4500mAh in perfect health, however, with frequent charging, the battery’s health may only be 95%.

In that situation, the battery’s degradation over time will prevent your phone from getting the entire 4500mAh capacity out of it, even while it is fully charged. The battery life is inversely correlated with battery health.

This means that a phone with a low battery life will lose power more quickly and may also experience problems like overheating while in use.

You’re in luck if you use a Samsung device! The Samsung Members app is already pre-installed on your device, making it simple for you to monitor the condition of your battery. This is how:

  1. Scroll down to the Get Help menu in the Samsung Members app, open it, and select it.
  2. Select the Interactive checks option from the menu that appears.
  3. Choose Battery from the list of choices to view the strength, capacity, and longevity of your phone’s battery.
  4. The health of the battery will be determined by its life (Good, Normal, or Weak).

In order to check the Battery life of your Samsung Galaxy device, visit system Settings > Battery and Device Care > Diagnostics > Battery Status.

Android 15 audio Sharing

Google brings a new feature called Audio Sharing with Android 15 DP2. This new feature allows a device to broadcast audio to multiple Bluetooth headphones simultaneously. This is mainly useful for sharing music or videos with others without the need for additional things or hardware.

Audio sharing is made possible by advancements in Bluetooth technology, including the new Bluetooth LE Audio standard. One of the key benefits of this technology is “Auracast,” which can broadcast audio to several listeners at once. This has significant applications, such as helping individuals with hearing impairments or those requiring language translation services.

Currently, within Android 15’s settings, there is a section for “Audio sharing” that includes a toggle switch and a test sound feature. However, these are early versions and may not be fully operational.

As development progresses, the “Audio sharing” feature in Android 15 is expected to improve and offer a more user-friendly and inclusive audio experience.

Samsung Auracast Feature

Auracast is a feature that allows users to broadcast the audio they are playing on their devices to nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as headphones, speakers, or other phones.

Samsung announced One UI 6.1 update will bring several new features and enhancements along with the Auracast support to the Galaxy S23 series except for the S23 FE, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Android 15 App archiving feature

Google recently released the Android 15 Developer Preview 2, which introduces several new features, one of which is App Archiving. This feature helps to manage apps that are not used frequently.

The app archiving feature allows users to archive apps directly from the system Settings, offering a more organized and efficient way to manage unused applications. Users can easily identify archived apps on the home screen and app launcher, with their icons grayed out and marked by a cloud/download symbol.

In the app information section, users will find an “Archive” button next to the “Uninstall” option. With a simple tap, apps are archived, confirmed by a toast message. Previously, users had to navigate to the top-right corner to find the “Open” option. It should be noted that this function does not apply to system apps.

Users can get these apps again from the Play Store or choose to “restore” them from the app information. Android 15 will take back the permissions that were previously set for the app after it is restored.

Although this app archiving capability is not yet integrated with Google Play’s similar feature. Additionally, the “Pause app activity if unused” toggle has been renamed to “Manage app if unused,” which now includes removing permissions, deleting temporary files, stopping notifications, and storing apps.
