What’s new in Synapptic Version 10, build 660?
Here’s what’s new in Version 10, build 660. (Released 30-08-2024):
1. Microsoft has changed how Outlook, Hotmail, Live, and other Microsoft-based email accounts work. We’ve had to alter Synapptic accordingly. If you use one of these accounts and experience problems, update to the latest version of Synapptic, then head over to Basic Email Settings and select the Authentication option. During the authentication process, you will be taken to a Microsoft webpage where it will ask you to confirm your email login details.
2. Connecting to Wi-Fi with Synapptic has been simplified! The list of available Wi-Fi connections is now clearer, and passwords can be typed in more easily with the Synapptic keyboard.
3. Dark Mode for the Web Browser has been made more consistent across all versions of Android.
4. Chatbot now has a new Settings menu where options are available to control how the Chatbot responds.
5. A new ‘Text Now’ option has been added to the Recently Called menu. Use this option to quickly and easily text someone who recently called you, or from whom you missed a call.
6. Voice Control has some new shorter versions of several commands. For example, if you want to call, text, or email someone called Bob in your address book, just say ‘Call Bob’, ‘Text Bob’ or ‘Email Bob’. If controlling the timer, just say ‘Set timer for 5 minutes’, ‘Show Timer’ or ‘Cancel Timer’. When you want to make the ringer silent just say ‘Ringer Silent’ or ‘Ringer Vibrate’ then restore it back to normal by saying ‘Ringer Normal’. Say ‘What Can I Say?’ to show a list of all available commands for Voice Control.
7. The Ringer Modes menu option can now be added directly to the Main Menu. Use the Customise option in the Synapptic Settings menu to add it. Having the Ringer Modes option on the Main Menu is great when you want quick and regular access to control the ringer mode.
This latest version of Synapptic also includes changes made in build 650, which are:
8. ITV has made changes to their service making it necessary for us to change Synapptic accordingly. All ITV channels are now fully accessible from Synapptic. This includes ITV 1, 2, 3, 4, and ITV-Be.
9. Text messages can now be printed. Find the new Print option on the Text Message menu.
10. A new ‘Ask More’ option has been added to the ChatBot menu. Select any previous response, pick the Ask More menu option, then ask further follow-up questions. Alternatively, the Chatbot knows about the last few questions just asked and responds to follow-up questions relating to them. For example, you can ask ‘Who won the World Cup in 2010?’, then ask ‘What was the score?’.
11. New Delete All and Delete Multi menu options allow for easier and quicker deleting of responses in the chat history.
12. Forward ChatBot answers with the new “Share” menu option. Share answers with friends and family by text and email.
To update your Synapptic device just select the Settings option from the Main Menu, then select the Updates option.
