Samsung Galaxy S5 Tips & Tricks You Likely Don’t Know

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is full of great things. Heck, it is the most feature-packed smartphone in the market. Aside from the heart rate sensor and the fingerprint scanner, there are a ton of other great things that the S5 is able to offer. We have uncovered 10 of them and they are as follow:

1. One-handed mode
Under the Sound & Display settings, select this option and shrink the size of the screen to the size of your hand. Once done, you can operate the S5 on a smaller screen with a single hand.

2. Screen Sensitivity booster
At harsh environmental condition, an average smartphone’s touchscreen may lose its response. The S5 prevented this by turning on the high screen sensitivity on its Display settings.

3. Blocking Mode
You can stop getting disturbed by any alarms, phone calls or messages turning on Blocking Mode in Personalization settings.

4. Disable My Magazine
The renamed Flipboard widget is not for everyone and in the S5, users can finally lose it by holding on the home screen. Then, go to home screen settings and uncheck the feature.

5. Screen Indicator
Instead of swiping left and right just to get to a page where your fitness app is, tap on the number indicator below to perform a quick page jump.

6. S Finder
Search for any files in your phone with the S Finder. It tracks literally every files be it hidden or not.

7. Different wallpapers for different screens
Now, home page wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper can be totally differ from each other.

8. S Voice
This is a feature which you don’t need in the Samsung. Kill it permanently by going to the S Voice’s settings and disable the wake up via home button option.

9. Ok Google
Whenever you see OK Google’s search bar, say its name to operate voice searches or make calls and messages.

10. Toolbox
This new apps shortcut feature is really useful. It is exactly like Facebook’s chat head but instead of pulling out a conversation, you pull out your customizable shortcuts.
