Access a world of media from the internet<br />
You may not think that downloading files<br />
and media on a <strong>Samsung</strong> device is an<br />
important activity, but there are many<br />
times when being able to do so can save<br />
you time and also add to the flexibility<br />
you enjoy on a daily basis. Whether it is<br />
grabbing a quick image from a web page<br />
or downloading an app that someone<br />
wants to share with you, it can all be done<br />
in an instant provided you have the right<br />
settings enabled and a browser capable of<br />
allowing such tasks. We will show you how<br />
to set up your device to enable a wide range<br />
of downloads and also how to undertake<br />
each type of download, but the real surprise<br />
will come later when you realise just how<br />
useful this knowledge is. <strong>Galaxy</strong> devices are<br />
computers and can be used in similar ways<br />
to desktops despite the fact that they can be<br />
carried around with you. Android adds to this<br />
flexibility because it gives you all of the tools<br />
you need to add media to your device and to<br />
then use it in ways that will make your device<br />
even more useful to you.<br />

1: Web images<br />
On any web page where you see an image<br />
that you like, you should be able to hold your<br />
finger on the image until a new dialogue<br />
pops up. You can now save the image to your<br />
device or open it in a new window. It saves to<br />
the Gallery.<br />
2: Download apps<br />
If a developer or an authorised person wants<br />
to share an app with you some changes will<br />
be needed. Go to Settings>Security and then<br />
look for the ‘Unknown sources’ option. When<br />
ticked you will be able to download apps (.apk<br />
files) from sources besides Google Play.<br />
3: Installing apps<br />
When you download apps, you need to<br />
be very careful. You should be happy that<br />
the source is legitimate, that the file is free<br />
to download and that it is free of malware.<br />
Always check every part before putting your<br />
valuable personal data and device at risk.<br />
4: In one place<br />
You will see an icon on your home screen<br />
called ‘Downloads’. Tap this and you’ll be able<br />
to see every file that you have downloaded<br />
broken down by time. It also divides internet<br />
and other downloads into separate panels to<br />
speed things up if you download lots of files.<br />
5: Automatic app compatibility<br />
To use the files you have downloaded, you<br />
will often be able to simply tap them and<br />
choose the appropriate app from the panel<br />
that pops up or you will be able to select the<br />
file within an app. Sometimes they may need<br />
to be moved to a specific folder.<br />
