Galaxy Note 4 gets April security patch in India

Samsung India seems to be on a roll. Earlier this month Indian consumers saw the rollout of the Marshmallow update to the Galaxy Note 4, which was followed by the same upgrade for the Galaxy S5 earlier this week. Samsung also brought the April security patch to the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ recently, and the company is now bringing the latest security fixes to the Indian variant of the Galaxy Note 4.

According to one of our readers, the security patch came through a 360 MB update, which means the device should get bug fixes and improvements to the initial Marshmallow build. The build number after the update should be GDTS1DPD2, and it should be available for your Note 4 over the air and via Samsung Smart Switch on a PC. If you notice anything new on your phone after installing the update, do let us know in the comments!

Thanks, Shantanu!

Samsung rolls out S Bike Mode to the Galaxy J2, Galaxy J5, and Galaxy J7

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy J3 (2016) in India with a unique feature called S Bike Mode. When it is activated, the smartphone automatically plays a pre-recorded message to callers that the user is riding and cannot receive the call, Now, S Bike Mode has been released to more devices in the Galaxy J series.

S Bike Mode is now available for the Galaxy J2, Galaxy J5, and Galaxy J7 through a software update. A software update was released to the Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 in India yesterday. However, unlike the Galaxy J3 (2016), these devices don’t feature NFC, so S Bike Mode would have to be activated using the quick setting toggle.

The Galaxy J3 (2016) comes bundled with an NFC tag that can be put on a bike. Users can instantly activate or deactivate the S Bike Mode by tapping the device on the tag. Look forward to our review of the Galaxy J3 (2016) in the coming days.
