Galaxy S4 Video Tips Series

[vgjfelix]

Hello all,

I am starting a series of videos that will focus on hints and tips for using the Galaxy S4 called Basics. These are (non-rooted phone) tips with each video around 1-2 minutes long and designed to focus on a single topic. So might be very obvious, some might be a little more advanced and others are neat little tricks and different approaches that you never knew existed.

I have previously done very successful videos on the Asus Transformer Prime (150 videos) and the Nexus 7 (100 videos). Here are a few videos just to give you a flavour of my work.

1: How to reorder notification buttons

2. Long press Notification Buttons

3. How to put Apps on Your Lockscreen

I hope you find them useful and I will add loads more in the weeks/months ahead

Hey bud, long time no see. Good to know you're on the S4 bandwagon.

And I just realized you left out Surface.

Awesome tips.

Hey there, Leeshor!

Yeah, the Surface RT didn't really fit with me so I got rid of it before the priced dropped (like it just did today).

Thank You !!!

I hope to see more of these. It's great that they are grouped into single topics; should of been done this way long ago.

I am now using the Lockscreen App Launcher !!!

Here's the first of my regular updates.

In this tip I show you how to setup a page on your lockscreen that either includes a whole host of applications that you can choose, or a camera launcher page.

Just in case you're not sure to do this on an SG4: How to take a screenshot

Nice, now do one on how to do it with swiping your hand across the screen. It's actually easier for us uncoordinated people.

I was trying that today and I could only do it 1 in 10 times. I need to perfect it before I make a vid

Mine works 100% of the time and I find it easier than the 2 button press, which is why I suggested it. I'm not coordinated enough to do the 2 button process reliably.

A bit of a peculiar one this. Here's how to turn off the earphone notification dock on the SG4:

Just in case you don't know the difference between creating homescreen folders via the default Touch Wiz launcher and other popular launchers.

Hey thanks. I knew how to rearrange my notification icons, but didn't know that I could swipe to have access to the other icons that aren't visible.

How funny because for me it's the exact opposite. I've lost count of how many times I've tried to swipe a screenshot, but can tell you I've only succeeded 3 times. Two button press is a snap for me though. I don't know why either. Fast, slow, edge of screen, a little further in, start from left side of screen, start from right... I've tried everything I think and nada.
