Let’s start by getting to know more about your Galaxy Note 4 by examining the external features, device features, and how the Android 4.4 operating system works.
In addition to Android 4.4 (KitKat), this chapter covers the Samsung TouchWiz interface, which is overlaid on top of Android to adjust the way things look and function.
Your Galaxy Note 4’s External Features
Becoming familiar with the external features of your Galaxy Note 4 is a good place to start because you will be using them often. This section covers some of the technical specifications of your Galaxy Note 4, including the touchscreen, camera, and S Pen. There are many versions of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but no matter which one you own or which wireless carrier you use to connect it, the exterior, functionality, and look and feel of the interface are exactly the same.
Front
• Proximity/gesture sensor—Detects when you place your Galaxy Note 4 against your head to talk, which causes it to turn off the screen so that your ear doesn’t inadvertently activate any onscreen items. This sensor also allows you to use gestures (in conjunction with the accelerometer). Gestures are covered later in the chapter.
• Light sensor—Adjusts the brightness of your Galaxy Note 4’s screen based on the brightness of the ambient light.
• Earpiece—The part you hold against your ear while on a call.
• Indicator light—Indicates new events (such as missed calls, new Facebook messages, and new emails).
• Front camera—A 3.7-megapixel front-facing camera that you use for video chat, taking self-portraits, and even unlocking your Galaxy Note 4 using your face.
• Touchscreen—The Galaxy Note 4 has a 5.7" 1440×2560 pixel Quad HD Super AMOLED (Super Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen that incorporates capacitive touch.
• Back button—Tap to go back one screen when using an application or menu. This is a touch-sensitive button.
• Recent Apps button—Tap to see a list of apps you recently used. You can then touch to jump to them or swipe them off the screen to close them. Touch and hold to see additional options for the current screen. The Recent Apps button replaces the Menu button on previous Galaxy Notes.
• Home button/fingerprint reader—Press to go to the Home screen. The application that you are using continues to run in the background. Press twice to launch S Voice. Press and hold to launch Google Now. A fingerprint reader is built in to the Home button; you can read more about it in Chapter 2, “Customizing Your Galaxy Note 4.” This is a physical button.
Back
• Volume up/down buttons—Enable you to control the audio volume on calls and while playing audio and video.
• Power button—Allows you to wake up your Galaxy Note 4 by pressing once. Press and hold for one second to reveal a menu of choices. The choices enable you to put your Galaxy Note 4 into Silent mode or Airplane mode, or to power it off completely.
• Rear camera—A 16-megapixel camera with autofocus and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) that takes clear pictures close up or far away.
• LED (light-emitting diode) camera flash—Helps to illuminate the surroundings when you’re taking pictures in low light.
• Back cover removal point—Allows you to remove the back cover. Insert your fingernail and pull to remove the back cover. After you have removed the back cover, you can install or swap SIM cards as well as insert or swap the Micro SD memory card.
Top
• Infrared port—Allows you to control your television from your Note 4 using an infrared signal.
• 3.5mm headphone jack—Plug in your Galaxy Note 4 or third-party headset to enjoy music and talk on the phone.
• Noise-canceling microphone—Use in conjunction with the regular microphone to reduce background noise during phone calls. This microphone is also used when you record videos.
Bottom
• MHL 3.0–compliant Micro USB 2 port—You can use the Micro USB 2 port to synchronize your Galaxy Note 4 to your desktop computer and charge it, but because it is Mobile High-definition Link (MHL) compliant, you can use it to play movies on your TV via high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) using a special cable or dock. Read more about MHL 3.0 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link#MHL_3.0_features.
• Microphones—You use the microphones when you are on a call and holding your Galaxy Note 4 to your ear.
• S Pen (Stylus)—Pull the S Pen out of its holder to draw on the screen and interact with apps. Read more about the S Pen in the next section.
S Pen
Your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with a stylus, which Samsung calls the S Pen. The S Pen is stored in the Galaxy Note 4 on the right side, and you pull it out from the lower right. This section covers some of the S Pen’s features and functions.
Getting to Know the S Pen
Let’s take a look at the S Pen itself and learn about its features.
• Stylus tip—The S Pen stylus tip is what makes contact with the screen as you write and draw. The stylus tip is pressure sensitive, so it knows how hard or soft you are pressing. This is particularly useful for drawing because pressure translates into line thickness.
• S Pen button—The S Pen button adds extra functionality to the S Pen. When you press the button as you drag the pen on the screen, you can perform functions, such as moving between screens, taking screenshots, and even cutting out parts of any screen.
Air Command
When you remove your S Pen, Air Command is the first thing that pops up. Air Command gives you quick access to useful S Pen functionality. You can also access Air Command any time by hovering your S Pen over the screen and pressing the S Pen button. It is important to note that Air Command on the Note 4 no longer includes the S Finder and Pen Window functions that used to be included on the Note 3.
• Action Memo—Write in a special note area and tell your Note 4 to take action on what you write. For example, write a phone number and tell Action Memo to dial that number.
• Smart Select—This feature used to be called Scrap Booker. Capture a part of the screen by drawing around the area you want to capture. You can then share the captured image, save the captured area of the screen to the Scrapbook app, or, if the captured image includes text, you can take an action such as call a phone number, open a link, or send an email.
• Screen Write—Capture the entire screen and then write on the image of the captured screen. Your image is saved in the Screenshots album. This album can be viewed using the Photos app or the Gallery app.
• Image Clip—Capture part of the screen by drawing around the area you want to capture. Your image can then be shared, or saved in the Scrapbook app.
Air View
Air View is a feature that shows you a preview of information about an object and enables you to interact with it when you hover the S Pen or your finger near the screen over an object that is Air View enabled. Make sure that Air View is turned on in Settings before you try to use it. Refer to Chapter 2 to see how to turn on Air View and customize how it works. This section shows you some examples of using Air View.
Air View Is Not Always Available
Apps must be specifically written to support Air View. For example, Samsung has rewritten the Gallery app to support Air View; however, the Photos app, which Google is moving to, does not support Air View.
Scrolling Using the S Pen
You can scroll up and down by hovering your S Pen at the top or bottom of an area of the screen that scrolls, such as a message list. For this gesture, you must not press the S Pen button—just hover at the top or bottom of the scroll area. You see an arrow indicating that the scrolling gesture has been recognized.
Gestures and Motions
Gestures and motions allow you to quickly use certain functions or features by making hand gestures or moving the Note 4 in a specific way.
• Direct Call—While you are looking at a missed call, reading an SMS (text message) from someone, or viewing someone’s contact information, if you lift your Note 4 to your ear and hold it there, the phone number being viewed will be dialed.
• Smart Alert—If you have missed calls or messages, when you pick up your Note 4 from a flat surface, it vibrates.
• Mute—To mute incoming calls and alarms, either place your hand over the screen or turn your Note 4 over.
• Palm Swipe to Capture—You can capture a screenshot by holding your palm perpendicular to the screen, touching it on the screen and swiping it from left to right or right to left. The captured screenshot goes to the Screenshots album, which you can view using the Gallery or Photos app.
First-Time Setup
Before setting up your new Samsung Galaxy Note 4, you should have a Google account because your Galaxy Note 4 running Android is tightly integrated with Google. When you have a Google account, you can store your content in the Google cloud, including any books and music you buy or movies you rent. If you do not already have a Google account, go to https://accounts.google.com on your desktop computer and sign up for one.
1. Press and hold the Power button until you see the animation start playing.
2. Tap to change your language if needed.
3. Tap Start.
4. Tap a Wi-Fi network you want to connect to during setup. If you’d rather not connect to a Wi-Fi network, tap Next and continue at step 8.
Why Use Wi-Fi During Setup
As you go through the first-time setup of your Note 4, you may choose to restore a backup of a previous device to your Note 4, and at the end of the device setup, a number of apps may need to be updated. Both of these activities can use a lot of data. Using Wi-Fi speeds up these activities as well as saves you the cost of the cellular data charges. Therefore, although you do not have to connect to a Wi-Fi network for device setup, it is advisable.
5. Enter the password for the Wi-Fi network using the onscreen keyboard.
6. Tap Connect. Your Galaxy Note 4 connects to the Wi-Fi network.
8. Tap to check the box after you have read and understood the End User License Agreement (EULA).
9. Decide whether you would like Samsung to collect diagnostic and usage data from your Note 4.
10. Tap Next.
11. Tap Yes to log in to your Google account.
12. Enter your Google account email address (your Gmail address).
13. Enter your Google account password.
14. Tap the right arrow to continue.
15. Check this box to keep data on your Galaxy Note 4 backed up to the Google cloud and restore settings previously saved in the Google cloud to your new Galaxy Note 4 before continuing.
Beware of the Restore
Be careful leaving the Backup & Restore box checked in step 15. If you are switching from a non-Samsung Android device, leaving this box checked will restore original Android apps such as Calendar. Because Samsung rewrites many standard Android apps, if you leave this box checked you may end up with two of certain apps such as Calendar.
16. Check this box if you are okay with Google collecting information about your geographic location at any time. Although this information is kept safe, if you are concerned about privacy rights, uncheck this box.
17. Check this box if you are okay with Google using your geographic location for Google searches and other Google services.
18. Tap the right arrow to continue.
19. Change your name if needed.
20. Tap the right arrow to continue.
21. Touch to sign in to your Samsung account if you have one, or tap Skip and jump to step 28.
22. Enter the email address you used for your Samsung account.
23. Enter your Samsung account password.
24. Tap Sign In.
25. Check the box to enable automatically backing up your data to your Samsung account.
26. Check the box to first restore data previously backed up in the Samsung cloud to your Galaxy Note 4 after you have completed the device setup.
27. Tap Next.
28. Enter a name for your Note 4. This name is used whenever you are connecting to other devices.
29. Check the box if you want your Note 4 to use Easy mode. Easy mode uses a simplified Home screen layout, plus enlarges the text and size of the app icons. You can always disable Easy mode later if you decide it’s not for you.
30. Tap Finish.
Fundamentals of Android 4.4 and TouchWiz
Your Galaxy Note 4 is run by an operating system called Android. Android was created by Google to run on any smartphone, and your Galaxy Note 4 uses a version called Android 4.4 (or KitKat). Samsung has made many changes to this version of Android by adding extra components and modifying many standard Android features. They call this customization TouchWiz.
The Lock Screen
If you haven’t used your Galaxy Note 4 for a while, the screen goes blank to conserve battery power. This task explains how to interact with the Lock screen.
1. Press the Power button or Home button to wake up your Galaxy Note 4.
2. Slide your finger across the screen in any direction to unlock your Galaxy Note 4.
3. Tap the Missed Call or Missed Text Message notification and then swipe the screen to unlock and go directly to the call log.
4. Swipe up from the Camera icon to launch the Camera.
Working with Notifications and Settings on the Lock Screen
You can work with notifications and settings right on the Lock screen. If you see notifications in the Notification bar, pull down the Notification bar to view and clear them. Touching a notification takes you straight to the app that created it. Read more about the Notification bar later in this section.
Answering a Call from the Lock Screen
If your Galaxy Note 4 is locked when a call comes in, you have three choices: Drag the green icon to answer the incoming call; drag the red icon to reject the incoming call and send it straight to voicemail; or drag up from the bottom of the screen to reject the call and send a preset text message (SMS) to the caller.
The Home Screen
After you unlock your Galaxy Note 4, you are presented with the Home screen. Your Galaxy Note 4 has four Home screen panes (although you can create more). The Home screen panes contain application shortcuts, a Launcher icon, Notification bar, Shortcuts, Favorites Tray, and widgets.
• Notification bar—The Notification bar shows information about Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular coverage, as well as the battery level and time. The Notification bar also serves as a place where apps can alert or notify you using notification icons.
• Notification icons—Notification icons appear in the Notification bar when an app needs to alert or notify you of something. For example, the Phone app can show the Missed Calls icon, indicating that you missed a call.
• Widget—Widgets are applications that run directly on the Home screens. They are specially designed to provide functionality and real-time information. An example of a widget is one that shows the current weather or provides a search capability. Widgets can be moved and sometimes resized.
• App shortcut—When you tap an app shortcut, the associated app launches.
• App folders—You can group apps together in a folder as a way to organize your apps and declutter your screen.
• Favorites Tray—The Favorites Tray is visible on all Home screen panes. You can drag apps to the Favorites Tray so that they are available no matter which Home screen pane you are looking at. Apps in the Favorites Tray can be rearranged and removed.
• Launcher icon—Tap to show application icons for all applications that you have installed on your Galaxy Note 4.
Work with Notifications
To interact with notifications that appear in the Notification bar, place your finger above the top of the screen and drag to pull down the Notification bar and reveal the notifications. Swipe individual notifications off the screen to the left or right to clear them one by one, or tap Clear to clear all of them at once. The Notification bar also includes Quick Settings such as the ability to turn on or off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
What Are Quick Settings?
Quick Settings are icons that allow quick on/off actions. Examples are turning Wi-Fi on or off and turning Bluetooth on or off. You cannot change the settings for items, just turn them on or off. To change the settings for these items you need to tap the cog icon to go to the full Settings screen.
Create App Shortcuts
Tap the Launcher icon to see all of your apps. Touch and hold on the app you want to make a shortcut for. After the Home screen appears, drag the app shortcut to the location you want the shortcut to be on the Home screen, drag it to an app folder, or drag it left or right off the screen to move between Home screen panes. Release the icon to place it.
Create App Folders
To create a new app folder, touch and hold the first app shortcut you want in your folder. When the Create Folder icon appears, drag the app shortcut to that icon and release it. After you give your app folder a name, the folder displays on your Home screen. Now you can drag other app shortcuts into that folder. To open the folder, touch it to reveal the shortcuts in that folder.
Create a New Home Screen Pane and Remove an App Shortcut
If you want to create a new Home screen pane, touch and hold an app shortcut icon. Drag your app shortcut icon to the Create Page icon, and the shortcut is placed on a brand-new Home screen pane. To remove an app shortcut icon, drag it to the Remove icon.
Use the Touchscreen
You interact with your Galaxy Note 4 mostly by touching the screen, which is known as making gestures on the screen. You can tap, swipe, pinch, touch and hold, double-tap, and type.
• Tap—To start an application, tap its icon. Tap a menu item to select it. Tap the letters of the onscreen keyboard to type.
• Touch and hold—Touch and hold to interact with an object. For example, if you touch and hold a blank area of the Home screen, a menu pops up. If you touch and hold an icon, you can reposition it with your finger.
• Drag—Dragging always starts with a touch and hold. For example, if you touch the Notification bar, you can drag it down to read all of the notification messages.
• Swipe or slide—Swipe or slide the screen to scroll quickly. To swipe or slide, move your finger across the screen quickly. Be careful not to touch and hold before you swipe or you will reposition something. You can also swipe to clear notifications or close apps when viewing the recent apps.
• Double-tap—Double-tapping is like double-clicking a mouse on a desktop computer. Tap the screen twice in quick succession. For example, you can double-tap a web page to zoom in to part of that page.
• Pinch—To zoom in and out of images and pages, place your thumb and forefinger on the screen. Pinch them together to zoom out or spread them apart to zoom in (unpinching). Applications such as Browser, Gallery, and Maps support pinching.
• Rotate the screen—If you rotate your Galaxy Note 4 from an upright position to being on its left or right side, the screen switches from Portrait view to Landscape view. Most applications honor the screen orientation. The Home screens and Launcher do not.
Use the Keyboard
Your Galaxy Note 4 has a virtual or onscreen keyboard for those times when you need to enter text. You might be a little wary of a keyboard that has no physical keys, but you will be pleasantly surprised at how well it works.
Most applications automatically show the keyboard when you need to enter text. If the keyboard does not appear, tap the area where you want to type and the keyboard slides up, ready for use.
Using the virtual keyboard as you type, your Galaxy Note 4 makes word suggestions. Think of this as similar to the spell checker you would see in a word processor. Your Galaxy Note 4 uses a dictionary of words to guess what you are typing. If the word you were going to type is highlighted, tap space or period to select it. If you can see the word in the list but it is not highlighted, tap the word to select it.
To make the next letter you type a capital letter, tap the Shift key. To make all letters capitals (or CAPS), double-tap the Shift key to engage CAPS Lock. Tap Shift again to disengage CAPS Lock.
To type numbers or symbols, tap the Symbols key. When on the Numbers and Symbols screen, tap the Symbols key to see extra symbols. There are two screens of symbols. Tap the ABC key to return to the regular keyboard.
Quick Access to Symbols
If you want to type commonly used symbols, touch and hold the period key. A small window opens with those common symbols. Tap a symbol to type it or tap the Sym icon to see all symbols.
To enter an accented character, touch and hold any vowel or the C, N, or S key. A small window opens enabling you to select an accented or alternative character. Slide your finger over the accented character and lift your finger to type it.
To reveal other alternative characters, touch and hold any other letter, number, or symbol.
Want a Larger Keyboard?
Turn your Galaxy Note 4 sideways to switch to a landscape keyboard. The landscape keyboard has larger keys and is easier to type on.
Swipe to Type
Instead of typing on the keyboard in the traditional way by tapping each letter individually, you can swipe over the letters in one continuous movement. This is called Swiftkey Flow. It is enabled by default; to use it, just start swiping your finger over the letters of the word you want to type. Lift your finger after each word. No need to worry about spaces because your Galaxy Note 4 adds them for you. To type a double letter (as in the word pool), loop around that letter on the keyboard. As you swipe, a blue line trails your finger.
Dictation—Speak Instead of Type
Your Galaxy Note 4 can turn your voice into text. It uses Google’s speech recognition service, which means you must have a connection to the cellular network or a Wi-Fi network to use it.
1. Tap the microphone key.
2. Wait until you see Speak Now and start speaking what you want to be typed. You can speak the punctuation by saying “comma,” “question mark,” “exclamation mark,” or “exclamation point.”
Edit Text
After you enter text, you can edit it by cutting, copying, or pasting the text. This task describes how to select and cut text so you can paste over a word with the cut text.
1. While you are typing, touch and hold a word you want to copy.
2. Slide the blue end markers until you have selected all of the text you want to copy.
3. Tap to cut the text. Cutting text places it in the Clipboard, just like a Copy action would do.
4. Touch and hold the word you want to paste over.
5. Tap to paste what you cut earlier.
Placing a Cursor
You can also simply place a cursor on the screen and move it around to do manual text editing, such as backspace to delete letters or manually insert a new word. To do this, tap the screen in the text area. A single blue marker displays; drag that marker to the point in the text you want to make changes to. Now start typing or tap backspace, and the action occurs at the cursor position.
Writing Instead of Typing
As discussed earlier in this chapter, your Galaxy Note 4 comes with the S Pen stylus. Instead of typing on the keyboard, you can use handwriting recognition to write. To enable Handwriting mode, pull out the S Pen from its holder and tap the Back key to dismiss the Air Command window. Then hover the S Pen over the screen in the text area until you see the handwriting icon. Tap the icon with your S Pen. Any text you have typed appears to be in handwriting. Now write in your own handwriting on the screen and it is turned into text. Tap Done to return to typing.
Keyboard Tricks
You can write instead of typing, use emoticons (smiley faces), and enable a one-handed keyboard.
1. Touch and hold the microphone key (to the right of the Sym key).
2. Tap to use dictation.
3. Tap to use Handwriting mode.
4. Tap to see everything you have previously copied to the clipboard. If there is text, you can touch it to paste it at the cursor position.
5. Tap to change keyboard settings, including choosing a new keyboard.
6. Tap to type emoticons (smiley faces).
7. Tap to choose a one-handed keyboard.
>>>Go Further: One-Handed Typing
Menus
Your Galaxy Note 4 has two types of menus: app menus and context menus. All applications use an app menu. To see the app menu, tap the Menu icon, which is normally on the top-right of the screen. As an alternative (but slower) method, you can touch and hold the Recents button to see the app menu.
A context menu applies to an item on the screen. If you touch and hold something on the screen (in this example, a link on a web page), a context menu appears. The items on the context menu differ based on the type of object you touched.
Switch Between Apps
You can switch between running apps as well as close apps using the multitasking feature.
1. Tap the Recents button (to the left of the Home button).
2. Scroll up and down the list of running apps.
3. Tap an app to switch to it.
4. Tap to see memory and processor usage for each active app.
5. Swipe an app left or right off the screen to close it.
Run Multiple Apps on the Screen at the Same Time
Your Galaxy Note 4 has a feature called Multi Window that allows certain apps to run on the same screen at the same time. They can either run in a split-screen configuration, in multiple separate small windows, or a combination of both.
Make Sure Multi Window Is Enabled
Before you start this section, make sure that Multi Window is enabled in the Quick Settings.
Two Apps Together on a Split-Screen
This section explains how to run two apps at the same time in a split-screen configuration.
1. Touch and hold the Back button to see apps that support Multi Window.
2. Drag an app onto the screen and release it. Because this is the first app you are choosing, it fills the screen. The first app in this example is the S Note app.
Some Apps Want to Be Pop-up Apps
When you drag an app onto the screen in step 2, the app may only want to be a pop-up app. Pop-up apps start by running in a small separate window on the screen instead of either filling the top or bottom of the screen. Unfortunately it is not clear which apps always want to start in pop-up mode and which always start in split-screen mode. You can read more about pop-up apps in the next section.
Multipage Apps
Some of the app icons have a small left arrow next to them. This indicates that the app is already running and has multiple pages open. An example of this is a web browser such as Chrome. You may have many different websites open, each in its own tab. If you tap the little arrow, you are able to choose which open pages you want to drag onto the multiwindow screen.
3. Drag another app to either the top or bottom half of the screen and release it. If the Multi Window pane on the right of the screen disappears before you do step 3, touch and hold the Back button to see it again.
4. Drag the circle up or down to give more or less room to each app.
5. Tap the circle to reveal extra Multi Window features.
6. Tap to swap the position of the apps on the screen.
7. Tap to enable dragging content (such as text or an image) between windows.
8. Tap to minimize the selected app to a small draggable circle on the screen.
9. Tap to maximize the selected app to full screen.
10. Tap to close the app in the selected window.
>>>Go Further: Minimized Apps
More Than One App in Each Window
When you use Multi Window, the screen is split into two windows—one at the top and one at the bottom. As previously shown, you can drag an app to either the top or bottom window. You can actually drag more than one app into each window. Follow steps 1–3 and simply drag the new app on top of the one that’s already there. The only downside to this is that you can only work with the last app that was dragged to the window. Even though the previous apps are there and running, you cannot switch to them. Your only course of action is to close the app on top and continue working on the previous app in the same window.
