Must Know Tips & Tricks For The Galaxy S II
[Update - For a Galaxy S3? Here are must know tips & tricks for the S3!]
The Galaxy S II is Samsung’s latest and greatest superphone and judging by the rate at which these things are selling, very soon millions around you will have a one. The device packs a dual core 1.2 Ghz processor, a 4.3″ Super AMOLED Plus display, runs Android 2.3.3 out of the box with Sammy’s TouchWiz 4 on top.
TouchWiz is Samsung’s custom UI layer that differentiates the SGS 2 from the myriad of other Android slabs and Samsung has managed to add enough value to it to make it a very welcome addition. Some of its benefits become obvious, but some tweaks and shortcuts that can make your experience even better are tucked away. This post aims to showcase a bunch of tips and tricks that every SGS 2 user should know. Some of these might even work on older TouchWiz devices.
Hit play and tell us in the comments section if you think I’ve skipped any must know shortcut/tip!
If you can’t see the video embedded above, hit this link to go to YouTube. If you’d like to read instead of watch the video, read on.
- Quick Calls & Texts: Once you have the contact you want to call or text in front of you, instead of entering it and then carrying out the operation, you can simply swipe left to place a call or swipe right to enter a text.
- Homescreens: TouchWiz supports upto 7 homescreens and jumping between them can quickly become a problem, but you can easily pinch to get an overview and then quickly jump to the screen you want.
- Screenshots: Taking screenshots on Android devices is a pain, but on the Galaxy S2, you can simply hit home button and then the power key while holding onto home to take a screenshot. You can then see them in the Gallery.
- Brightness Adjust: The notification bar can serve as a brightness scroll on the Galaxy S 2 if you are not using the auto brightness option. Just hit the notification bar, hold for a second and swipe left to decrese and right to increase the brightness. This is one of my favourite tweaks.
- Browsr Text Wrap: Out of the box the Galaxy S2 doesn’t automatically reflow the text in the webpage if you zoom in. But if you just goto settings and check the ‘auto-fit pages’ option, all is well again.
- User Agent Change: The browser lets you change the user-agent without needing an extra app, just type ‘about:useragent’ and you can choose between the iPhone, Nexus One, Desktop, Galaxy S or even enter a custom string.
- Pinch Based Tab Switching: While you are viewing a webpage, just pinch out and you will be shown the other tabs that are open, or you can even open a new one. Handy, finally possible on the Galaxy S2.
- Custom Fonts: The Galaxy S2 comes with inbuilt support for custom fonts. Just goto Settings -> Display -> Screen Display -> Font Style and choose from the three options or follow the link to download more from the Android Market.
- Change Bottom App Drawer: Its just easier to explain if you watch the video, around the 03:28 minute mark.
- Quick Slider: Whether you are in the homscreen or the app list, just roll your finger over the dots at the bottom of the screen and see the screens fly by. Beautiful and functional.
- Video Lock: Pressing the power button in video player locks the screen, now you can hold the device any way you like, no accidental presses.
- Testing Mode: *#0*# in the dialer enters the LCD test mode, useful if you are hunting for dead pixels or a few other things.
- Search Key: The SGS2 like the SGS doesn’t have a dedicated search key that all other Android devices have, but if you long press menu, it doubles as a search key and pulls search up, wherever you need it.
- Quick Dialing: On the dial pad spell the name of your contact and see it popup, great when you need to make a quick call.
- Bluetooth Mouse: The SGS 2 supports using a bluetooth mouse, the functionality is more of a proof of concept vis-a-vis being actually useful. TV out presents a useful senario.

Hello – a very intereting video review. Useful for new owners of the device.
However only 2 days in and I am facing a problem that is also plaguing many owners for which forums are widespread across the web with no clear cut colution – NO data reception over the HSDPA (H+ network). Upon contacting my ISP , I was told that the HSDPA connection over the mobile network would not work – and was asked to disable it leaving only 3g selected.
However there is no option to do so ! There are only 2 choices – data service on/off
I have read across a few forums that disabling the H+ and hard tuning the 3G network is a solid fix – but this involves playing with the software and installing “kernels”?
IS there a clear cut solution to this? I am sure there are a lot of other users who would find the fix very useful – Im sitting next to my bummed out friend and he agrees! We are not very tecj minded but willing to sell our souls to have a stable data package across the lovely device which otherwise is an absolute joy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you handheldblog !

Hi Ahmad Adel Habib
I was going through some galaxy S2 forums and found CYANOGEN MOD. What exactly CyanogenMod is and how it works. Please brief me about this.
Regards,
Atal
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices
Official website – The mod sounds brilliant. However under the list of supported devices the S2 is not mentioned.
I wil look out for updates or something – there must be one of these things being cooked up for the S2…
I know these things are usually tailored for each device – therefore I will confirm before I go downloading any random mods and installing….
Stand by. If you figure anything else out let me know… thank you for the prompt response
http://www.androidcentral.com/cyanogenmod-coming-galaxy-sii-thanks-samsung
Its in the making. Samsung are pro-Cyanogen . Hell yes baby I hope the modded O/S has a native H+ Kill switch….
Hmm…Ill research that next actually.
Hi there,
Thanks for the useful tips. I have my S2 for about a week now and can’t figure it out why there is a US city and time (bar displayed at the top in yellow color) whenever i try to make a phone call. It seems that the phone has a pre-setting which captures the first 3 numbers of any phone numbers to be a US area code when i type.
Hope you can help. Thanks again.

Pls help. I really like this phone and well aware of its capabilities. But I’m very much perplexed about its size and that’s the only reason I’ve been delaying my decision to purchase this smartphone. Does it feel very bulky in the pocket and hands? What about single-handed use? And yeah how is its loudspeaker? Can u hear the ringtone in noisy environments. Thanks..
You could’ve added that to jump to a specific homescreen or app page just click the dot instead of rolling.

Is there any way to increase font size particularly in messages?
I don’t mean small to normal – I am looking for large or extra large (like iPhone), and judging by the forums so are a lot of other people.
What is the sense in having a large screen if the font size is no bigger than that on a 3″ screen?
Brightness adjustment at notification bar is already available in GT I9003
Excellent! Used some of those

Hello, just got the galaxy s2 (switched from blackberry). 1) i can not connect my yahoo email account (though other email accounts were set up with ease)? 2) does this phone have an automatic spell check (how to turn it on)? Thank you, CK
I found Galaxy S2 Tas well as Galaxy Tab being sold in Hong Kong did not have the font style option. This option is only available in my current Galaxy S1.
Hi , Any bidy knows how to disable the power button. I need this because the phone some times automatically switch its mode(to flight mode) by accidently presssing the power button. Even when its in the pocket.

Great video. I have a question. I just got the S2 and when there is an incoming call while I am on the line and I switch over to it I see something new that I dont like.

Hey!
Ure review is realy amazing.
When i am at home, ill try some tricks for my smartphone
thx!
No doubt the phone is cool and the Black body and screen looks awesome, but There are some noticeable problems like the battery life is so so poor and the phone get very hot (not warm!), specially around the camera and top screen, may be due to processor inside or such thin body. There is another network problem only two modes give and no kill button for H+ which often not work. The wifi like ghost get start autimatically, there may be some settings to solve it. The screen tan on Right side was not on my set so.
Apart from them i haven’t found any problem, The phone is Fast, very fast, Camera is a bit noisy but videos are close to perfect. The screen is awesome a bit big but thin body make no issue in pocket. And I still Like the phone cuz every other phone out there as its own set of problem.
hi
I just got samsung galaxy s2 but when i started doing vedio call on a skype there is no option for vedio call there is only voice call and IM,so can i get some idea to go through it ?
when spelling the contact’s name ,nothing happen.
Can you do a coverage on video quality? My s2 video quality is blur and unclear.
Watching video in youtube is difficult on the eye. I don’t know if it is a phone problem.
Two of these don’t work on my galaxy: I can’t find the change font option and I can’t change the brightness using the notification bar. :/
Hi

Thanks.

I just got my Samsung Galaxy SII and realized that you cant turn off the timeout screen. The longest you can set it for is 10 minutes. Thats horrible i tried and watched a movie on HBO Go and it kept timing out on me. If there is a fix can someone let me know please?
Can someone tell me how to turn the screen lock off. Its so annoying and the function doesn’t allow me to have “no lock”. Any tips would be appreciated.
HI, Vaibhav thanks for enlightening us …the problem currently i am facing is dat my phone lags a little bit in middle of some small games…and out of appx.836mb of ram only 200mb is only free most of the times is their any option available to stop some of the applications or services start automatically???plz help me on my issue
hi i love my phone and find it very easy to use the only problem im having with it is i dont know how to crop my videos so i can send them on, at the moment they are to long and a message tells me to big to send. what do i do to make it shorter??
please help
Great set of tips!
Not being able to disable the screen saver / timeout is a real pain. It makes the Maps useless, as 10 minutes is far too short. After googling, I found the “Keep Screen” app (look it up in the market). This does the job. I installed it, configured it to keep the screen open for Maps, job done. Great thing is it doesn’t rely on a power connection, so if I’m using the maps while out walking, the screen still stays on

Hey i just wanna know how do u put a password to the messages folder in S2 !! and a site where u can download full games for free !!
Thank you for these! I learned many new and helpful tricks.
Hi Vaibhav, thanks for the great post and tips. I am just wondering if SGS2 supports scrolling a window within a window – similar to 2-finger scrolling on iPhone? I have recently got my SGS2 but realized i can’t scroll in a window (e.g. drop down menu) within another window. Your help will be very much appreciated. Thanks, Sal.
Hey, I need help for this.
When the phone rings, it started quietly then went louder, and I found this really annoying. Is there anyway to make the volume the same from beginning to the end when the phone rings?
Thank you.
My Galaxy S2 will not time out at all. It is set to 30 seconds.
Any idea.
Hi .Can you please tell that can i connect this phone to PC to use internet Via Pc ?
Will be really thankful
I m enjoying My SGS2 , only 2 complaints–
1. Gets hot on calling and using 3g
2. Internet browser does not opens page on 3g, only opera mini can open the pages. Even opera mobile says no connectivity while i m on 3g. Works fine on wifi.
When watching videos you can stop screen timeout by locking with the power button when playing them
Hi, your video about the shortcuts was awesome.I didn’t know most of them. I have a question for you. When ever i take a picture, it gets uploaded to Google+. Could you please tell me where to configure this so that i can control what gets posted?
How do I change the default buttoms on the bottom. You mentioned it, but I was unable to locate the feature.
Thank you
Wow, a ton of people keep on asking for their queries even when nobody seem to answer them. What a bunch of prats B-)
“If you’d like to read instead of watch the video, read on.”

heya i have put a screen lock password on my samsung galaxy s2 but i need to get it off haw do you do this plz
thank you
Goodday,
I want to put a password on some folders of my, like my pictures so only someone who knows the password can enter.
So how do I do that?
Thanks!
Good One & appreciated…
Thanks
Do you know if there is a shortcut for turning the 3G on and off aside from going to the settings and doing it? I wished there was a shortcut on the notification bar!
Fabulous phone! Especially enjoyed this by Sharma on these very useful extra features.
Only one question which hopefully someone can answer…..
How can I delete a specific wifi connection which I created (without affecting my other saved wifi connections)? My first connection has a wrong password. My second connection has the correct, but the phone when scanning keeps returning to the first incorrect wifi connection. I can’t find a setting to delete .. and “forget” or “cancel” doesn’t remove the wrong connection. Help please?
About travelling & using the S2…..
I’ve recently travelled through Asia, Africa, South America & Middle East & accessing the internet no problem anywhere(I don’t use roaming). Since all business can also be done on the phone, no netbook is needed on my travels anymore. Only businessmen doing reports will still need their laptops for keyboard ease. The S2′s camera takes a better photo in poor evening light or rainy conditions compared to my expensive my Canon camera. Videos brilliantly clear too, no problem using Skype. Some great apps -enough useful free apps too. Get the flashdrive connection & carry all your doc’s on a flash. Also get the TV HDMI connection, fun. This phone is packed with a massive amount of features that I continue to discover each day. For my travelling its perfect, plus has the right size screen, is extremely light & thin, a joy to own.
Vaibhav Please help bro!!! When i am listening to music and message comes it stops playing music. To start music again i need to restart my SG2. Please help brother is this a bug or it can be resolved by settings!! WAiting!!!!
Hi, I need your help regarding deactivating premium text on Samsung Galaxy SII. Help me please!

How do I enlarge the font size on the S2? All of the previous Samsung devises would allow me to select the text bubble and then a new screen would open so that I could pinch to enlarge, this one does not doe that..
Thanks!
Great tips, thanks. I’ve had my SG2 for 5 days and have solved most minor problems but I can’t work out how to remove unwanted stuff that the phone has synced onto the calender. I can delete birthdays and stuff that I have put there myself but I can’t remove useless fb events that I didn’t want synced. Also I can’t get the phone to connect to other phones using bluetooth. I’ve tried with various phones and get nothing. One more minor thing, I’ve had to turn of predictive text, as it was deciding I couldn’t spell and kept putting in completely different words to what I was spelling but I find the keyboard a bit fiddly and would like predictive text but without it inserting random words, as I was talking to my friend Erik and the phone called him Eruption, which was a bit embarrassing. Any help would be great thanks

How do u make the text message bubbles show the conversation in order. I hate that it shows all the other persons texts grouped n mine at the top. I want it to show the messages with the order of the conversation we have like u then mine then u mine etc.
Gud one.. Was really helpful!!
When a text message is received, only one notification is received. Is there a way for notification to repeat until the message is acknowledged?
Thanks

I know I should have messaged you before, but I was a bit scared that she could find out about the spell you did so I removed all your emails. Anyway, I can tell all your future customers who are reading this that they are doing the right choice to go with you for a spell. It was always great communicate with you and all the services you offer are just
excellent.

i bought this phone sg2 about 2 month ago.. im facing a problem that is when i try to send mms, the phone automatically compress the picture until the size is too small.. sometime about 9kb.. what should i do…
This is a great review of an awesome smartphone. Plenty of great tips for all the Sgs2 owners out there.
For screen shots I prefer Screenshot It. It allows you to activate a screenshot from a shake or via the notification area instantly or in a timed manner, and gives one the ability to share, crop, save or draw the snapshot.
really of great help… u tech savvy people rocks….

WONDERFUL VIDEO. HELPED A LOT! I AM ONLY RECE8IVING EMAILS ON MY SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 BUT THEY WILL NOT APPEAR ON MY PC. CAN YOU HELP ME SORT THIS OUT, SO THAT THE EMAILS APPEAR ON BOTH SYSTEMS? FOR A WHILE THEY DID APPEAR ON BOTH. COULD THIS BE A SETTINGS ISSUE?

Hi
I’m former Blackberry user and I miss A LOT of features it had.
I realize you need to decide what it is you expect from your phone.
Blackberry is a great text and phone machine with camera.
Galaxy is a mini computer.
I miss the flashing light telling me I have a missed call or message.
I miss pinning friends – we now use Fring a free chat video phone app that allows users to text, video chat and post statuses
I miss that the Blackberry had an auto on/off feature.
What good is having an alarm set when the phone won’t wake up to wake me up?
I miss the keyboard – is there a bluetooth keyboard I can use with it?
I miss the icons and the sounds – on the SG2 icons and sounds are lame.
I miss texts and calls listed in one easy to check screen.
I miss how easy it is to return a phone call on the Blackberry. In the SG2 you have to do too many taps to get to the call log.
Everyone keeps saying I’ll get used to it and how great it is… for what I’m used to I’m still not a fan. Typing on glass is annoying but that’s not limited to the SG2.
I do love some things about it but in those cases I think I’d be happier with just a tablet and a blackberry separately…
Really hope I find out if I can do auto off/on with the SG2.
Thanks for reading
I’m having trouble minimizing windows. I also was able to access my task manager by long pressing the pad key,to accomplish the task of switching applications,but I can’t seem to get it to work now. I only had the phone a couple of days. This just started & am not sure if it’s a hardware defect.
The toolbar at the bottom of my home screen is gone. How do I get it back?
Now power dialers are available for mobile. And it is the most economical solution for call centers. “MY SALES DIALER” is a mobile Power dialer. but this dialer is only for higher level management to dial important contacts.., it is a dialer coupled with CRM features, it doesn’t to configure it with any system, only install it to mobile and it is ready to use.
I have benefited so much from the video submitted .. It is great ! but I need to know how you differentiate between all the message on “MESSAGING” since I get all received and sent messages next to each other and I can not sort between received and sent ones. Can you please help me … thanks

Please response ASAP. I change the user agent by mistake and now the only one I can choose is the custom agent on my sys2 epic touch and now every time that I open the browser closes instantly. I tried everything an nothing works.
Awesome video! I have a couple questions. First, when I stream video I can see streaks which look like cracks or dead pixels when the screen goes black. I checked for dead pixels with the *#0*# method and everything came out ok so could this be the streaming quality?
Second, when I record in 1920×1080 the camera auto zooms and I can’t zoom out, how can I change that setting?
Great video with awesome tips
I was wondering if anyone knew how you can change your download settings. E.g. i did it once where i now download 5 things at once but cant remeber how to change it back. I was wondering if any one could help me to resolve this and put it back to only downloading 1 thing at a time??
Cheers

Hello Vaibhav, I watched your very informative video on the handheld blog.You were saying if anyone had any more questions to get in touch I have a question: in texting mode I took my eye of the screen for a second and touched somethings accidentally that brought up advanced editing options and up, down, left and right arrows to whizz through text easily. But I can’t recreate that happy accident.Do you you know how to get those options Up? Thank you, Dorothee

Greetings,
I’d like to know if everyone has the problem that I do.
I am in law enforcement and use my phone for evidence purposes. When I heard about the screen capture on this phone I went out and bought one as I knew the iPhone had this feature but don’t like iPhone.
During an interview with a suspect, the phone was recording. I wanted to be able to pause the video and screen capture the males face for future identification. To my dismay, the capture comes up blank.
Is there a way to fix this … or get an android app that will work … I tested it on my partners iPhone and that feature works …. (Thumbs down)
Anyone please tell me about its battery life !! Possible to use it for whole day ?
Hi dear,
Thank you so much for this review of tricks & short cuts. Really helpful tutorial. I had searched on hell of sites to know how to change user-agent of a Samsung Galaxy S2 browser but your way is the best and simplest. Thanks for it. Also, I would like to ask one thing. Isn’t there any option to add more details to any of a contact list member in S2 ? Like Nokia have it. I mean if I would like to add more details to any of my contact list member ( Email id, Home phone number, website URL , company name , Fax ) all these kind of details. How can I do it? Can you please advise. I will wait for your message. Thanks.

3rd Question : Is there any way that I can increase my phone battery life?
4th Question : In Email, I have set-up my one official account but it is not giving me an option to set-up my another email account. How can I do it? any idea?

Hi Imran, im not any special guy from this website but i might be able to help you
Question 1 : Select your contact, the basic information will come up of them. Then press the menu key, bottom right, and then edit. there you have information to edit this includes email goggle talk there adress, birthday, anniversary and so on
Quesation 2 : unfortuntaly i have never had this problem and cant help you, sorry, all i would advise is you call them if its that long or try to send smaller texts :S sorry
Question 3 : i use “easy battery” app from the market place which is free, it is very useful and helps keep ur battery life, its also very good to personalize with as u can choice stuff like super saver ,normal or inteligent battery saver which all do diffrent things. It also give you tips on how to save with out using the app e.g dont charge with a cover on as the excess heat does not do the battery good.
Question 4 : This is very simple, just go to ur apllications, then onto your email. Once there press the menu key and hit accounts. From there you will see an option to add an account.
Hope this helps, just remeber im not one of them and i just want to help

Hi Vaibhav
First of thank you very much for sharing this great piece of work with all the people out here including myself. I have recently got my Android based Galaxy S2 phone which is a wizard for me and now I can do a lot of things on it without any hassle, however there are few things for which I would appreciate any help from you, and I hope other people out here would also be benefited by this:
1) what are the short-cuts for email application eg shortcut for reply to a mail or reply to all or even delete the mail. Also shortcut for selecting bunch of unwanted mails and delete them at once.
2) I want to read marathi newpaper websites on the phone especially when I am travelling, in this case I found that whenever I open any marathi news paper website or anything which is in Marathi unicode font on the phone it shows me as boxes. So I searched the net and I found that I ll need to download droidhindi.ttf font and copy it in the systems dir on the phone but for this I need to Root my device however I do not know to do that, therefore any simple advice would be much of help.
3) Which application shall I use to kill the applications from RAM in order to free up some memory.
4) How do I get registered to Samsung website in order to receive further software updates (such as Android 4.0 Ice-creame sandwitch)
How do i get spell check on my GalaxySII. For messaging SMS Text.
Hello,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S II, about 3 weeks ago.
Now I’ve got a problem.
My battery is going empty, but I can’t refill it.
Is the battery broken?
The Galaxy is going hot. The temperature is about 50 degrees Celsius.
I tried to fill the battery with my adapter and also trough USB in my PC.
Both times, the level of the battery is going down, slowly.
Does anybody have the same problem, as I do.
I think it’s the battery, but maybe it’s another problem.
I can use my garantee, but I don’t want to pay for the research. And in that case I have to let them have my Galaxy SII for at least 2 weeks.
I hope anyone can help me.
thank you for your help.
greetings,

Hi,
I am a Brit living in China and I have just bought myself the Samsung Galaxy S2. Now, I am a novice when it comes to smartphones and I am sure I will be coming back here for more advice in the future, the near future, but to start off with my device is locked to the Chinese Samsung Apps store website. I am unable to get to an English/Europe version of this site. I have tried finding out what I can, and it has been recommended to use a firmware update from http://www.SamMobile.com but I don’t want to do anything that may damage or hinder my use of the phone. Do you know what I can do, I still get some internal messages from the device in Chinese despite changing all language settings.
Also, my device is full of Chinese Apps I do not need but am unable to remove them no matter how often I delete them.
And one final question, for now, do you know of any VPN Apps? Being in China I have some internet restrictions, but on my laptop I am able to use Freegate, something like this would be of great help to me.
Thank you
Andy

My husband wanted a divorce. I was desperate and decided to give this spell caster someone referred me to a try (wiseindividualspell@gmail.com). I the spell caster did a Stop Our Divorce Love Spell for me inform of a wish spell. Within a 2days, he did forgot about his plan and started loving me more that i expected. I have to say, I wasn’t really expecting that at all. fellow people, this has made me so happy. I use this spell caster on wiseindividualspell@gmail.com spell casting service all the time and it never failed. I love the personal attention I get. Even better, I know the spells really work accurately and quickly.
Hi! Excellent tips. I seem to have a very ackward problem on my S2:.somehow I have removed all links to the standard internet browser and now there is no one on earth that has been able to tell me where to get it back or how to install it again. It does not show up in the applications list.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
