The Facebook for Android app now lets you delete unwanted comments

Posted on May 13, 2013

facebook-for-androidIf you use the popular Facebook for Android app you probably wish you could delete unwanted or inappropriate comments right from your phone without having to rush to the nearest computer. If so, you’re in luck!

Facebook has just released the latest version of Facebook for Android, and it now includes the ability to delete a comment quite easily and quickly. All you have to do is tap the comment you wish to remove, then tap Delete Comment. What could be easier?

One would think that including the ability to delete unwanted comments would have been included in the app from the get-go, but it wasn’t. Go figure. Better late than never I suppose.

Q&A: How do I turn off the keyboard sounds on my Samsung Galaxy S4?

Posted on May 12, 2013

samsung-galaxy-s4Question from Miranda P.:  Hi Rick. I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I love it, but the annoying clicking sound the keyboard makes when I’m typing is driving me crazy.

I’ve searched the menus from top to bottom and I can’t find a setting to disable the keyboards sounds. Can you please, please, please tell me how to do it?

Rick‘s answer: Indeed I can Miranda. The setting for turning off the key click sound on the Galaxy S4 is hidden under a set of nested menus. Here’s how to find it:

1 – Open the Settings screen, then scroll down and select Language and Input.

2 – Find Samsung keyboard and tap the gear-shaped icon.

3 – Tap Advanced.

4 – Uncheck Key-tap sound. Note: If you’d like to turn off the equally annoying Key-tap vibration, you can do that while you’re on this screen as well.

Here’s a screenshot:  [Read more…]
