Leaker says that Samsung Gear S4 will have bigger battery, gold variant

• A new leak suggests that the upcoming Samsung Gear S4 could have a larger battery than the S3.
• Another leak also suggests that there could be a gold variant of the watch, in addition to traditional black and silver colors.
• It’s also possible that the Gear S4 might not be a Gear at all if Samsung is doing away with the branding.

---

The Samsung Gear S3 – the most recent watch in the line of Samsung wearables – got a great review here at Android Authority. However, the review was in 2016, when Samsung launched the watch, so we are overdue for some new Gear action.

Today, via trusted leaker “Ice Universe,” we have our first bits of information regarding the next iteration in the Gear line, likely to be called the Samsung Gear S4 (however, maybe not).

According to the leak, the next Samsung smartwatch will have a much larger battery than the S3 – a nearly 24 percent bigger battery. The S3’s battery has 380mAh of power, while the alleged power capability of the S4 will be 470mAh.

Granted, an increase like that isn’t going to make the battery last an extra day during regular use, but it might give you a few extra hours to stretch the time between charges.

Best smartwatches (May 2018)

Smartwatches are still a very new thing to a lot of people, and for good reason. You don’t absolutely need one to get through the day, and some of the best smartwatches are much too expensive …

In other Gear S4 news, via SamMobile, the Gear S4 could come in a third color variant: gold. The S3 came in only two colors – a dark gray called Frontier and a polished silver called Classic. It’s not clear if the S4 will also come in the same colors as the S3, nor is it known what the gold variant will be called. But more options are always nice!

Rumors abound that Samsung might be ditching the Gear moniker for devices, with trademarks filed for wearables that don’t feature the word Gear and the possibility that the next Gear VR unit might drop the Gear as well.

With that in mind, the next wearable from Samsung might not be the Gear S4 after all, but something entirely different. Either way, we can assume for now that the device will have a bigger battery and at least one new color option when it launches. Stay tuned for more updates.

NEXT: Is Samsung doing away with the Gear brand name?

How to install Android P on your phone — a step by step guide

There are two ways to install Android P on your phone. The first one is super easy, as all you have to do is sign up for the Android Beta Program and get the update over the air (OTA). The second method is to flash the beta build of the OS to your smartphone, which is a bit more complicated.

To get started, the first thing you need is a device on the list. If you own a different handset, you’ll have to wait for the release of the final version of Android P to try it out — if it makes it to your phone at all.

Compatible smartphones:

• Google Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL
• Google Pixel/Pixel XL
• Essential Phone
• Nokia 7 Plus
• Sony Xperia XZ2
• OnePlus 6
• Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S
• Oppo R15 Pro
• Vivo X21/X21 UD

Keep in mind the OTA method for getting Android P on your phone is only available for the Pixel phones. To get the software on any of the other supported models, you’ll have to flash it.

Method 1: Android Beta Program

To try out Android P on your Pixel, head over to the Android Beta Program website and click the “Devices” tab on top. This will take you to the page with the option to join the beta program, though you have to be signed into a Google account your Pixel device is associated with for it to show up. Then just select your device, opt in to the beta, and follow the instructions to complete the process. You should get the update within 24 hours.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Visit the Android Beta Program website.
2. Sign in a Google account associated with your Pixel device — if you aren’t already.
3. Click the “Devices” tab on top.
4. Select your device and join the beta program.
5. Follow the instructions that pop up to finish the process (the update will arrive within 24 hours).

Google says you can expect between three and six updates over the course of the program, in addition to the final update to the stable public release. You will not receive monthly security updates while on a beta build.

How stable is the Android P beta developer preview?

The first Android P developer preview arrived in March 2018, but only for Google’s Pixel devices. Then, at Google I/O in May, the company released the second Android P preview for not only its Pixel …

There’s a good chance you’ll come across various bugs that can affect the normal functioning of your device, so installing Android P on your daily driver might not be the best idea.

You can leave the beta program at any time you want by choosing the “Opt-out” option on the Android Beta Program website. You’ll get an update within 24 hours that will install the latest stable public version of Android on your device. It will also wipe all the data from your phone — so make sure to back it up first.

Method 2: Flashing Android P on your device

Flashing Android P on your device takes more time and work than the first method (OTA) and is slightly different for each compatible phone. We show you how to do it for Pixel devices below, but we’ve also linked to instructions for all the other models further down.

Here’s what you need to get started:

• A compatible Pixel device and a USB cable to connect it to your computer.
• The Android SDK installed on your machine with ADB and Fastboot command successfully working — check the tutorial here.
• Factory image for your device, which you can download here.
• 7zip or a similar program that can handle .tgz and .tar files.
• An unlocked bootloader on your phone.

Unlocking your phone’s bootloader

Now let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. The first thing you have to do is unlock your phone’s bootloader by following the step-by-step instructions below. It’s easy to do and does not require lots of technical knowledge. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe all the data off your device, so make sure you back it up first.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Turn on developer options by going to “About Phone” and tapping “Build Number” seven times.
2. Enable USB debugging and OEM unlock on your device in the “Developer options” section.
3. Plug in the Pixel to your PC with a USB cable.
4. Open the command window on your PC.
5. Boot your Pixel device into bootloader mode using the following command: adb reboot bootloader (if it requests you to authorize this, say yes).
6. When your device boots into bootloader mode, type in this command: fastboot flashing unlock.
7. A confirmation screen will pop up. Press the volume up key to highlight yes and the power button to start the bootloader unlocking process.
8. Once unlocked, your device will reboot into bootloader mode. Now you simply need to type in fastboot reboot to finish the process.

Flash Android P on your Pixel device

Flashing Android P on your smartphone is pretty straightforward, but you can still run into problems if you don’t carefully follow instructions listed below.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Head into the bootloader menu to test that your device and PC are communicating by typing in fastboot devices — if it comes back with your device’s serial number, you’re good to go.
2. Prepare the factory image you downloaded earlier. Use 7zip to extract the .tgz file you downloaded and then again to extract the .tar file you extracted from the .tgz. This will create a folder with several files in it.
3. Copy all those files and paste them in the platform-tools folder in the Android SDK on your computer. You should find it in the Program Files (x86) folder on Windows.
4. There are two flash-all files. Windows users should double-click the one that has the gear logo and says “Windows Batch File” on the right. If you’re on Linux, double-click the flash-all.sh.
5. A box will pop up and you should see the installation taking place. While this is going on, do not unplug your device for any reason!
6. When the installation process has finished, your device will automatically reboot. You can then disconnect your device from your computer and start playing with Android P.

What if the Flash-all method didn’t work?

For whatever reason, not everyone has luck with the Flash-all scripts. If they fail for you, there’s another way. It’s actually pretty simple. First, make sure you are still in the proper bootloader state and connected to your PC. On your PC you’ll want to type the following:

• First we flash the bootloader with the following command: fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader name>.img
• Next type: fastboot reboot-bootloader
• Now we flash the radio with the following command: fastboot flash radio <radio file name>.img
• Next type: fastboot reboot-bootloader
• Flash the image with : fastboot flash -w update <image file name>.zip
• After this your device may reboot automatically, if not type: fastboot reboot

How to install Android P on other phones?

As already mentioned, the flashing process can be a little bit different for other compatible devices. Here are guides for the Essential Phone, Oppo R15 Pro, and the five other handsets below. Some have been prepared by Android Authority, while others are listed on manufacturers’ websites.

• How to install Android P beta on the Oppo R15 Pro

How to Create a Child Page in WordPress

Do you want to create a child page on your site? Pages in WordPress can be standalone or hierarchical, which means a page can have its own sub-pages also known as child pages. In this article, we will show you how to easily create a child page in WordPress to better organize your pages.

What is a Child Page in WordPress?

Pages and posts are two default content types in WordPress. To learn more, see our guide on the difference between posts vs pages in WordPress.

Posts are part of a blog and are displayed in a reverse chronological order (newer entries first). They are normally organized with categories and tags.

Pages are one-off or standalone content that is not part of a blog. For example, ‘About us’ page or ‘Contact us’ page. They can be hierarchical, which means you can organize them with parent and child pages.

Typically, business websites use Pages to build a website structure. This way they can build a website without creating a blog. Those who want to add a blog to their content marketing strategy can still do so by simply creating a separate blog page.

However if you have too many pages, then it becomes difficult to organize them. This is where child pages come in. You can create a broader page as a ‘Parent’ and then add child pages to better organize your website structure and layout.

For example, a parent page called ‘About us’ can have team members, history, careers, and other pages as child pages.

Any child page can also have their own child pages and so on. This way you can build relationships between your pages and create a proper website structure.

That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily create a child page in WordPress.

How to Create a Child Page?

To create a child page, you will need a parent page. If you already have a page that you would like to use as the parent, then you are good to go.

Simply go to the Pages » Add New to create a new page or edit an existing page in your WordPress admin area. On the right side, you will see Page Attributes box with Parent dropdown.

In the Parent drop-down, you will see the list of all pages from your site. By default, it is set to ‘no parent’ which means this page is an individual page with no association. You need to select the page you want to use as the parent from the drop-down menu.

After that, you can just go ahead and save your changes. You can repeat this process to create more child pages.

To view child pages, you can go to the ‘Pages » All Pages’ page in WordPress admin area. You will see child pages listed under their parent page with a — prefix.

Next, you can go ahead and add your child pages to your website’s navigation menu as sub-menu items.

Advanced users can use other methods to automatically display a list of child pages for a parent page in WordPress sidebar widgets or theme templates.
