The GoPro Hero 7 Black Action Camera is equipped with a lot of hardware. This also includes an integrated Bluetooth and W-Lan module. This makes it possible to connect the camera to the smartphone quickly and easily.

If you take a look at the status bar of your Android smartphone, you may see a small icon in it that represents an arrow with a check mark.

This symbol is perhaps unknown to you at first and therefore we want to tell you here briefly what it is or when the symbol appears.

The arrow and check mark icon is from the Google Play Store.

This icon will be displayed whenever an app has been successfully downloaded or updated.

So this icon gives you a status message about the successful download or the successful update of an app via the Google Play Store.

You now know the meaning of the symbol or icon in the notification bar.

The camera app of the Huawei P20 Pro can be partly adapted to the needs of the user. In any case, this includes the assignment of the volume key.

So it is possible that the volume button can be used as a shutter release button, as a focus button and for zooming. However, this was only possible until the last firmware update.

This means that users who have installed the latest firmware update on the Huawei P20 Pro will no longer be able to zoom using the volume button.

Volume Button Functions

If you still have an older firmware, then this is still possible.

However, we recommend that you install the latest firmware update if you don't want to use 100% zoom, as this will greatly increase the security of your smartphone.

If and when Huawei will give the Huawei P20 Pro this option within the camera app again, that can't be said at the moment.

On your Samsung Galaxy, different icons can be displayed in the status bar, which can be assigned to an appropriate function or notification.

If you now switch to a new Samsung Galaxy or if a firmware update is rolled out for it, you may see a new icon in the status bar that you have not yet known.

This symbol consists of a triangle with arrows in the middle and it looks like the familiar recycling symbol.

But what does this symbol mean on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone? That's what we'd like to explain to you here.

Meaning of the triangle icon incl. arrows in the notification bar

If you see this symbol, it means that the data saving mode is activated.

The background of this function is that it should help you to save traffic in the mobile data network. If the function is activated, the triangle symbol appears in the status bar of the Samsung Galaxy smartphone. And so you can deactivate "data saving" in Android again:

1. Opens the App menu and then the settings

2. Taps on "Connections" and then on "Data usage

3. Here you will find "Save data" - Select the entry and deactivate the option with the Master control.

The triangle symbol will immediately disappear in a circle from the status bar of your Samsung Galaxy S9.

You now know what the triangle symbol with the arrows in it means and how to deactivate it on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

The Xiaomi Black Shark gaming smartphone may have moved into your focus or you may have already purchased it. Whatever. An important question to ask yourself is:

Do I have the right Sim card for the Xiaomi Black Shark?

This question is important because older devices often have a Micro or Standard Sim card integrated. Below we'll tell you which Sim card the Xiaomi Black Shark uses:

The Xiaomi Black Shark requires a Nano Sim card

If you do not yet have this Sim card format, you now have the following options available:

Press out Multi Sim perforation

You have a multi sim card with Nano perforation. Then this is the simplest variant. Simply push the Nano Sim card out of the existing Sim card along the perforation.

Use Sim cards punch/holeer

You have a sim card without nano-perforation. There are so called "Sim card punchers" for this. A Sim card punch, similar to a hole punch, cuts out the correct format from your Sim card when it is larger.

Such Sim card punchers are already available for little money on Amazon.

Request from mobile phone provider

If the effort with the first two variants is too big for you, you can simply request a new Nano Sim card from your mobile phone operator.

The hotline calls or orders a Sim card via the Online Service Center.

Now you know which Sim card the Xiaomi Black Shark needs and which possibilities you have if you don't have such a Nano Sim card yet.
