Getting started
The first steps
21
Use the
M
otion settings
on your device to turn
these di
ff
erent gestures
and settings on and o
ff
7
Shake to update
There are lots of apps that update their content regularly.
E
mail, news apps and the Samsung weather widget are
j
ust a few examples.
Y
ou can force updates of these apps by interacting with the refresh buttons,
but the Galaxy also lets you update by
j
ust shaking it. No finger prodding
necessary here,
j
ust shake the device to stay up to date with the latest apps.
9
Palm swipe to capture screen
There is a key combination that lets you save
an image of whatever your device is currently displaying
–
hold down the
P
ower and
H
ome buttons together.
H
owever, you can also do it by sweeping
the edge of your hand from one side of your Galaxy to the other. It’s neater,
faster and is far easier than using any button combinations.
11
Smart scroll (S5/S4 only)
If you want to work your way through an email or a
saved document and don’t fancy using the basic finger gestures to scroll the
screen, then you can achieve the same thing by
j
ust tilting your Galaxy S5/S4
back and forth and allowing the page to slide up and down. It’s a very fluid
and immersive way to browse through your content.
8
Turn over to mute/pause
Sometimes an incoming call comes along
j
ust at
the wrong time, or an alarm sounds and it is inconvenient.
Y
ou might want
the simplest possible way of silencing these intrusions, or of shutting off music
playback for a while. Well, the simplest way is to turn your Galaxy face down.
That’s right,
j
ust flip it over to mute all unwelcome distractions.
10
Palm touch to mute/pause
If you are watching a video or listening to music
and you want it to
j
ust stop for a few minutes, you could pick your Galaxy up
and hit the pause button. There’s a simple gesture that can do the
j
ob too,
though. If you put your whole palm on the screen, your device will be silenced.
Ideal for when you don’t want to be disturbed.
12
Air gesture
(S5/S4 only)
Y
ou don’t even have to touch the Galaxy S5/S4
in order to use gestures. The new Air Gesture controls allow owners of this
flagship device to wave their hand in front of their screen to skip between
music tracks or
q
ueued videos, answer incoming calls and more. It’s handset
control with the very lightest of touches…
