PSA: Galaxy S9 May update adds option to use both SIMs in LTE mode on dual SIM models

-

It was around a week ago that Samsung released the May 2018 security patch update for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. Since then, the update has released in many countries around the world, and if you own a dual SIM variant of the Galaxy S9 or S9+, the latest update also brings the ability to use both SIM cards in LTE mode. Before the Galaxy S9 was released, rumors had suggested the phone would let consumers use both SIMs in LTE mode instead of limiting one to a 2G/3G network (which is the case on pretty much every dual SIM phone today). Samsung has now added the feature to its latest flagship via a software update.

Galaxy S9 can now run in dual SIM, dual LTE mode

Before you get excited, we should point out that the ability to use both SIM cards on an LTE network comes from the new modems in this year's Exynos and Snapdragon chips. You shouldn't, therefore, expect to get the same functionality on existing Samsung devices. If you have a dual SIM Galaxy S9 or S9+, however, you can now go into the SIM card manager menu in the Connections menu of the Settings app and set both SIM 1 and SIM 2 to use LTE networks. Of course, you can continue to use one of the SIM cards on 3G or 2G mode if you think that will reduce battery usage. That shouldn't be the problem for most, though, since mobile data will still be enabled on only one SIM.

If you have a dual SIM Galaxy S9 or S9+ and haven't yet updated to the latest software, you can do so now from the Settings » Software update menu by tapping Download updates manually. The build number for the May update is G960FXXU1BRE5 for the Galaxy S9 and G965FXXU1BRE5 for the Galaxy S9+. As usual, you can also download the latest firmware for your country from our database (Galaxy S9 | Galaxy S9+) should you not be able to download the update over the air.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

17 features and tricks to help you get started with Spotify

-
Image
Spotify is one of the world's most popular music streaming services, with 157 million active users ( as of December 2017 ) and over 35 million songs. Originally born in Sweden, it quickly gained popularity as it expanded outside of its home country. Frankly, it's hard to believe that Spotify hit U.S. shores almost seven years ago. For many who were accustomed to mainstays at the time like Pandora and iHeartRadio, Spotify represented something different. And to some of us, its disparity to those other services was off-putting. I was one of those people who was initially excited about it, then quickly became frustrated with it when I tried to use it like Pandora, which was my go-to back then. Fast forward to the very recent past and I decided to give Spotify another try — at the behest of Artem, no less. When I sat down to figure out how to best utilize it, I wanted to learn how to not only get going, but how to use Spotify to the best of its abilities in both the free
