There are a few more handy settings that aren’t enabled by default that you can enjoy by tapping on Advanced settings<\/strong> in the notifications hub. The first is to turn on Show all notifications<\/strong>. Instead of a measly three notification icons on the top left of the screen in the status bar, you’ll see all the notifications you’ve yet to acknowledge. You should also turn on Notification history<\/strong>\u2014handy for the times you accidentally swipe a notification away before you read its contents. I also like using the snooze function to remind myself about notifications later in the day, and you can tap the Show snooze button<\/strong> to turn this on. (You’ll see a little bell icon on the bottom right corner of your notifications; press that to snooze them.)<\/p>\n

Keep the Always-On Display \u2026 Always On<\/p>\n

The Always-on Display is there to let you quickly see the time or any pending notifications when you glance at your phone, but by default this feature is set to Tap to show<\/strong>, meaning you need to tap the screen to see the Always-on Display. Bizarre. To fix this, go to Settings<\/strong> > Lock screen and AOD<\/strong> > Always-on Display<\/strong> and choose Always<\/strong> under When to show<\/strong>. This does<\/em> drain some battery life, but it’s marginal. Make sure you toggle off Show Lock screen wallpaper<\/strong> as this will drain battery life faster. Head back to the lock screen and AOD settings page to further customize the look of the clock on the lock screen and add some widgets.<\/p>\n

Wake the Phone When You Lift It<\/p>\n

You can wake your Samsung Galaxy phone when you lift it instead of requiring a tap on the screen. You can also double-tap the home or lock screen to wake the display and double-tap it again to turn it off. What about if you read a web page and the screen times out and turns off? There’s a fix for that too. Go to Settings<\/strong> > Advanced features<\/strong> > Motions and gestures<\/strong> and toggle on Lift to wake<\/strong>, Double tap to turn on screen<\/strong>, and Double tap to turn off screen.<\/strong> Also, head to Settings<\/strong> > Display<\/strong> > Screen timeout<\/strong> and toggle on Keep screen on while viewing<\/strong>. Now the screen won’t turn off as long as you’re staring at it head-on.<\/p>\n

Disable the Samsung Wallet Swipe Up<\/p>\n
