Some very, very cool Samsung Galaxy S2 Tips and Tricks...

Here you can post any tips and tricks for your new SGS2.

Here are a few neat ones I've found:

  • If you hold down on the homescreen, then choose shortcuts, you can then choose a contact and create a widget for them on your homescreen, so you can directly dial someone from there.
  • If you go into airplane mode before launching a game, you won't get any ads.
  • You can focus your camera on a specific thing by touching that area on your screen (so cool!)
  • Message tones can be changed to anything you want by going to homescreen ---> shortcuts ----> settings -----> sounds.
  • Pressing the homescreen and power button together creates a screen shot.
  • Double-pressing the home button brings you to voice commands.
  • If you turn off auto-brightness, you can brighten the screen with a swipe of the finger. Just press the notifications area and move your finger left or right.#
  • On both the homescreen and the apps menu you will see a row of dots indicating which page you are on. hold the dot and scroll left or right. The pages will quickly scroll until you see the page you want.
  • Some widgets allow you to expand them simply by holding down on them.
  • Like on other Samsung Androids, swiping a contact to the left calls them, to the right texts them.
