How to access app info in Samsung Galaxy Note 4


The app info screen on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a very useful for accessing individual app specific system settings of storage, data usage, permissions, notifications and etc. By using this screen, you can skip all the long winded steps to get the the specific app from the system settings screen that normally most people will do. Below are the simple steps to show you how to get to the app info screen.


Below are the steps I have documented in the form of video and also step by step screenshots.

Screenshots

Step 1: From the home screen, tap the "Apps" button to go into the apps screen.



Step 2: Tap and hold one of the app.



Step 3: Once you have tap and hold the app, the screen will change to a mode where you can place the shortcut on the home screen. But don't let go just yet. Notice the App Info icon on the top? Move the floating app while you are holding it over the "App Info" icon. Then let go.



Step 4: The "App Info" screen will appear and you can access all the system settings related to the app from this screen.



This screen is pretty useful as I can skip all the long winded steps to get to the system settings:

  1. Uninstall the app
  2. Force stop the app if it still running in the background. 
  3. Access the storage usage information to change move the app from phone memory to SD card memory, clear app data or cache data. 
  4. Change the access permissions the app. 
  5. Change the behaviour of the app notifications. 
  6. Settings default behaviour of files or links that related to the app. 
  7. Access the data usage information and change the background data restriction setting.

Have fun!

Mounting NFS share directory from D-link DNS 320L on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Seems like the steps on how to get the NFS mount point from the D-Link DNS 320L NAS server were not properly documented in their user manual. After setting up and enabled the NFS service on the D-Link DNS 320L NAS server, I went ahead to setup and mount the share directory/folder in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS assuming the mount point in NAS was /Volume_1/... but that is not the correct mount point to start with! Found this answer from D-Link forum post from a member (ba43123) that helped me to correctly mount the NFS share directory/folder on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: After spending most of the last hour on the phone with D-Link Technical Support, I came away with the recommendation to take my Mac (which has successfully connected to a number of NFS shares in the past) to Apple to determine if the network settings for NFS are correct.  This is mostly due to the fact that the people who are taking the calls have no information about NFS in their scripts and Knowledge Base so they are at a total loss...
