Use the Motion settings
on your device to turn
these dif erent gestures
and settings on and of
7 Shake to update There are lots of apps that update their content regularly.
Email, news apps and the Samsung weather widget are a few examples. You
can force updates of these apps by interacting with the refresh buttons, but
the Galaxy also lets you update by just shaking it (Fig 6). No finger prodding
necessary here, just 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
Power and Home buttons together. However, you can also do it by sweeping
the edge of your hand from one side of your Galaxy to the other (Fig 8). 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 document and don’t fancy using the basic finger gestures to scroll, then you
can achieve the same thing by just tilting your Galaxy S5/S4 back and forth
and letting the page slide up and down. It’s an immersive way to browse
through your content, but the feature was discarded for the S6 onwards.
8 Turn over to mute/pause Sometimes an incoming call comes along just at
the wrong time, or an alarm sounds and it is inconvenient. You 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
(Fig 7). That’s right, just 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 just 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 job too,
though. If you put your whole palm on the screen, your device will be silenced
(Fig 9). Ideal for when you don’t want to be disturbed.
12 Air gesture (S5/S4 only) You 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 queued videos, answer incoming calls and more (Fig 10). It’s
handset control with the very lightest of touches.
