Hi!
Here's something I've noticed with the Samsung Galaxy S8, the Samsung
Connections manager, this App may be available in the S7, I'm not sure.
Anyway the point of the Manager is to manage all your connected devices
to the phone in a single place, everything from Bluetooth paired
keyboards and speakers to DLNA devices such as servers, speakers and so on.
So what use is the Connection manager? Let's take a pretty basic example.
When you first launch the manager you're prompted to "Add A Device,
Double-tapping the "Add Device" iCon brings up a list of devices the
phone finds on your network or already connected Bluetooth devices,
select the Devices you wish to add.
From there you can go back to the "My Devices screen and see your added
Devices, select them etc.
Now suppose you have a pair of DLNA compatible speakers and you've added
them, double-tapping your speakers from the My Devices screen brings up
several optiosn and these options depend on the device you've added, -
in this case only one option may be visible that being "Audio" as its a
pari of speakers we've connected to -.
Double-Tapping this coice brings up a list of audio Apps such as the
Samsung Music Player, for my S8 I had to install this App as an addition
but that only took several seconds.
So the Music App then launches and there you are! the music on your
phone ready to play and manipulate with the audio coming out of your
connected speakers.
This approach is certainly a different one to what I was used to when
using my Galaxy S6 but its a nice touch and certainly more useable and
flexible.
