Samsung Galaxy S5: Tips and Tricks You Might Not Notice

The Samsung Galaxy S5 has many superb features and with it having so much to offer you might have missed some of them. So apart from the Heart Rate sensor that everyone knows about and the Fingerprint scanner, what does it offer?

There is a one handed mode that means the size of the display can be shrunk so that it can be used with one hand. You can go into settings under the Sound and Display setting to activate it.

In the display settings there is a screen sensitivity booster and this can come in handy in harsh weather conditions if the phone isn’t as responsive as it should be.

There is a blocking mode that means you can stop people calling, texting and emailing you while you sleep. Check it out under personalisation.

If you don’t use My Magazine you can disable it on the home screen. All you have to do is hold down on the home screen and then uncheck the feature.

If you don’t want to have to flip through the home screens you can go directly to the page you want with the screen indicator. Just press on the number and you will make a page jump straight to the widget that you want.

If you have a lot of files on your handset you can use S Finder to find what you want.

Did you know that you can have different wallpaper for the home screen and the lock screen?

You can disable S Voice if you don’t use it by going into the settings of S Voice and then disabling it via the home button.

You can say OK Google and then search your phone or dictate an email or text or make a phone call.

There is a Toolbox app that is along the lines of the Facebook chat head that allows you access to shortcuts that are customisable.
