Samsung Galaxy S5: How to Change the Device Name in Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

The name listed in the device name option will be displayed in other devices to represent your device when you need to connect your phone to transfer files using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi direct, or when you need to connect your phone to share media file using the nearby devices feature. Since Samsung Galaxy S5 uses its name as the default device name which is too general then you may need to change the device name to a more personal or unique so that others can easily recognize your device from its name. Using a unique name can also prevent the other devices from accidentally sending files or share media files to the wrong device.

Please note that since this feature uses mobile data to connect to the internet, you may incur additional charge when using this feature.

How to enable Bluetooth tethering?
You can do so by using the following steps:

1. On any screen, swipe down the top of the screen using two fingers to open up the quick settings panel.
2. Tap Mobile data button to turn it on. The button turns green when it's enabled.

3. Tap Bluetooth.
4. If Bluetooth is off, slide the ON/OFF switch to the right to turn it on.

  Transferring of  Files Using Bluetooth in Samsung Galaxy S5

  How to Changing of  Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct Names in Samsung Galaxy S4

Have you ever been in a situation where your friends had difficulty to find which the device that was truly yours when they wanted to transfer files via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct because there were some devices that had the same name? If that so, instead of letting your friends to be connected to the wrong device, you can help them to find your device easily by changing your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct names to the easily recognizable ones.

Now, you don't need to change Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct names separately because you just need to change the device name to change the name for these two features. See the following steps to do so:

1. Swipe down the top of the screen to open up the notification panel.
2. Tap to go to the settings menu.
3. Tap More tab.

Next time, when they scan for available Bluetooth devices in their phones, the name listed in your device name is the name that will be displayed there. 

Enabling of  and Use Android Beam in Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

Maybe some of us are confused about the differences between S Beam and Android Beam. FYI, S Beam can be used to transfer files between NFC capable devices which connected in the same Wi-Fi network. While Android Beam can be used to transfer files between NFC capable devices which have Bluetooth feature. Given to this fact, now you can conclude by yourself what the similarities and differences between S Beam and Android Beam.

If both S Beam and Android Beam features are available in the devices, I do believe that you will choose to use S Beam because it has faster transfer speed than Android Beam. Without intending to compare them or saying which better or worse, I write this post just to share you about Android Beam, which in some cases can be used as an alternative share method when you want to share files to other NFC capable devices but don't have Wi-Fi network to connect together with.


How to enable Android Beam?
Before using this feature, you have to enable it first in both the devices. To make it easier, we'll use Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 as the example.

1. In the Samsung Galaxy S5, open Gallery app.
2. Tap an album and then tap the required picture to view it.
3. Now, hold Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 together back to back.

Send contact using Android Beam

1. In the Samsung Galaxy S5, open Contacts app.
2. Tap the required contact to view its detail.
3. Now, hold Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 together back to back.
4. When you see "Touch to beam" is displayed in your Samsung Galaxy S5 screen, tap everywhere on the screen to start transferring the contact. You're free to separate the devices or not when the Samsung Galaxy S5 is ready to transfer the contact.
5. Bluetooth in both devices will be enabled automatically and the contact will be sent.
6. In the Samsung Galaxy S4, you'll be asked to choose a place to save the contact (They are likely: Device, your active Samsung account, your active Google account).
7. The Contact detail will be displayed in Contacts app in the Samsung Galaxy S4.

As same as S Beam, you can't use Android Beam to beam music due to software limitation. Thus, if you want to share music file on your Samsung Galaxy S5 to other NFC capable devices but you don't have Wi-Fi network to connect together with, then you can do so by using other share method, for instance share the music via Bluetooth.

Sharing of  Mobile Data Connection Via Bluetooth in Samsung Galaxy S4

If in the previous post we have learnt about how to enable and use Wi-Fi tethering in the Samsung Galaxy SIV, now we'll learn about how to enable and use Bluetooth tethering in the same device. As same as Wi-Fi tethering, Bluetooth tethering also will allow you to share your mobile data connection, but it's used between Bluetooth capable devices.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Under Wireless and network section, enable Bluetooth by sliding the ON/OFF switch to the right. The phone will automatically scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. Or, you can tap Scan button to scan for nearby Bluetooth devices manually.
3. If both devices have already paired, simply tap the Bluetooth name(in this case, Galaxy S4) to connect to the paired device for internet access.
4. If it's the first time to pair between both devices, you need to connect them by tapping the device name (in this case, Galaxy S4) and then tap OK in the Bluetooth pairing request notifications in both devices.

All of us might be know that Wi-Fi tethering will be able to provide us faster internet connection. So, if you're like me, if available I always prefer to use Wi-Fi tethering than Bluetooth tethering. And you should note that this feature also consumes more battery, so if you concern with the battery life issue, it'll be better if you only use this feature as needed.

Apparently, the changes in the appearance of the Settings menu brings a little difficulties to the user to do some settings, for instance when the user wants to change the Bluetooth name.
