With summer in full swing, you need a phone that can go just about anywhere and endure the demands of an active lifestyle.  To help you keep up with whatever comes your way, AT&T and Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) announce the Samsung Galaxy S® 4 Active™, an evolution of the popular Galaxy S® 4 designed to withstand the hazards of everyday life. 

Beginning June 21, you can pick up the Galaxy S 4 Active from One-Stop Communications for $199.99 with a two-year agreement.  For consumers who prefer to place their orders now feel free to call us at 717-248-4996 to place your pre-order.  The Galaxy S 4 Active will be available in two colors: Urban Gray and Dive Blue.

The Galaxy S 4 Active runs on AT&T 4G LTE, which currently covers more than 200 million people; with plans to expand to cover 300 million people by the end of 2014.  AT&T’s 4G LTE network was called “blazing fast” in a report** by independent testing organization RootMetrics.  The report found AT&T’s 4G LTE network delivered the fastest pure LTE speeds in markets where AT&T provided 4G LTE.

Built For Life
The Galaxy S 4 Active was designed around life.  It is IP67 certified to be water-resistant and dust-resistant, making it perfect to take on any summer vacation whether it’s camping or the beach.  It also has an Aqua Mode feature that lets you capture photos and videos underwater.  Its 5-inch FHD TFT display is made from Gorilla® Glass, which is specially built to be tougher and more scratch-resistant.  It runs Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) and comes packed with a quad-core processor for faster, smoother gaming and apps.

But there’s more to the Galaxy S 4 Active than its sturdy, more resilient exterior.  It also includes high-performance features that let you get more done on-the-go.  The 8-megapixel camera includes multiple custom shooting modes, including Aqua Mode and Eraser Shot.  It also features enhanced low light performance to help you get the shot you want even when lighting isn’t ideal.

Entertainment
The Galaxy S 4 Active has an Integrated Infrared (IR) controller which acts as a TV remote control, so you can use your smartphone to control your home theater system.  When you’re on-the-go, Samsung Hub gives you access to more music, movies, books and games from multiple content sources all in one place– perfect for passing the time on summer road trips, or even while waiting in line while running errands. 

Galaxy S 4 Active includes all the features that made the Samsung Galaxy S® 4 popular including:

• Air View™: Hover your finger over photos, files, links and text for an instant preview.
• Air Gesture™: Skip to the next song or photo, check your notifications or, if you’re driving, automatically answer a call on speakerphone just by waving your hand over your phone.
• Eraser Shot: Remove unwanted background distractions in your photos and videos with just one touch.
• Drama Shot: Capture a time-lapse event all in one frame.
• Samsung Smart Pause: While watching a video, if you look away from the screen, the video will automatically pause and wait for you to return.
• Story Album™: Create a printed book of your photos and have it delivered right to your door.

Productivity
The Galaxy S 4 Active is a master multi-tasker.  Features like Multi Window let you use two apps side-by-side like a PC so you can reference your notes while writing an email or follow the game live while checking out your friends’ reactions on social media simultaneously.

This smartphone is SAFE™ (Samsung For Enterprise) to help keep your work data secure and separate from your personal content.  Whether you are in the office or on vacation, the Galaxy S 4 Active balances stylish, professional design with enhanced durability.

Additionally, the Galaxy S 4 Active features an optional Easy Mode that simplifies the home screen with larger icons and your favorite apps.

• Access On Demand titles through DISH Anywhere app on iPhones, Android phones and tablets, in addition to iPad
• New social sharing features enable customers to share their mobile viewing experiences on Facebook and Twitter, while other enhancements improve on-the-go functionality

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.— Available today, DISH announced several enhancements to its DISH Anywhere™ mobile app, including access to On Demand programming on Android (4.0 and higher) and Apple iOS (5.0 and higher) mobile devices. All DISH customers can access On Demand content associated with their programming package regardless of their set-top box model. The update also includes DISH Anywhere integration with Twitter and Facebook, giving consumers the ability to share their viewing experiences.

To meet the growing trend of customers taking their TV shows on the go, DISH expanded access to its On Demand library to include iPhone and Android phones and tablets, a feature previously available only on the iPad. On Demand access brings viewers thousands of titles from a variety of networks that can be watched anywhere customers have an Internet connection. Since its launch in January, DISH Anywhere has transformed the ability of viewers to watch live and recorded programming anytime, anywhere.

“The ability to watch TV anywhere is only as meaningful as the shows you can view,” said Vivek Khemka

, senior vice president of product at DISH. “By adding access to On Demand programming on iPhones and Android devices, only DISH gives customers the power to view all their shows, including live TV, DVR recordings and On Demand, at no extra cost.” (Remote viewing of live TV and DVR recordings requires a broadband-connected Sling-enabled DVR).

The app enhancements also allow users to instantly share their mobile viewing experiences on social networks. The new social networking feature enables viewers to post what they are watching in real-time on Facebook and Twitter. Consumers can create personalized comments to share with friends and family or, for quicker and easier postings, use hashtags and words already populated by the app.

Additionally, DISH Anywhere users can take advantage of the new “Audio Only” mode, allowing them to listen to any live or pre-recorded show while doing other activities like driving or interacting with other apps on their device.

Existing viewing features of the DISH Anywhere mobile app include the ability to watch live TV channels in a user’s programming package via Sling technology, access their personal DVR and view up to eight days of network programming via PrimeTime Anytime. DISH Anywhere DVR management features include the ability to search for programs via the guide or use keywords, schedule recordings from the app, manage recording conflicts and delete recorded shows.

DIRECTV  plans to add voice control to its smartphone app this summer!

DIRECTV Voice allows customers to use their voice to find whatever they want to watch on TV. They can even use their voice to schedule their DVR when they’re away from home. 

Use an external hard drive to store all your favorite movies and tv shows with this FREE feature from DISH.

Adding an external hard drive to your DVR makes upgrading your DVR storage easy and affordable.

• Transfer recording from one HD DVR to another receiver on your account.
• Increase your DVR storage space for no additional charge.
• Available on your DISH HD DVR (models ViP 612, 622, 722, 722k, 922, Hopper, Hopper with Sling).
