new Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

are you’ll learn at least three or more things that will up the functionality of your
new device.
I also have a written version of this video on my website which will be linked in the

Anyway, be sure to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoy it and let’s go ahead and
get started.
The first tip we’ll be showing you guys is how to change your home or lock screen
wallpaper.
The easiest way to do this is by long holding the screen.
Then choose wallpaper and toggle whether you would like to change the home and lock screen
or just one of them.
In my case I’m going to change the homecreen, and as you can see here it looks great.
The second tip we’ll be showing off is how to add and remove homescreens on the Galaxy
Note 4.
Again just do a simple long hold on one of the homescreens and from here we need to identify
the screen we would like to remove.
Once you find it long hold it and drag it into the trash can.
You can also move the order of the screens around here and set the main screen by tapping
this home button.
Adding a screen can be performed by simply navigating all the way to the right and tapping
on the plus button.
Tip number three is adding apps and widgets to the home screen.
And to do this we’ll need to go into our app drawer and find the app or widget we’re
looking for.
Like before we’ll long hold the screen, but this we’ll long hold on that specific
app or widget.
Upon long holding we can go ahead and drag the item to wherever we would like.
The process is completely identical with widgets so you can do this with them as well.
And for tips four through six we’ll be demonstrating everything you’ll need to know about the
app drawer and how to customize it to your taste.
First we’ll show how to hide and unhide apps.
The main reason for this is because of carrier bloatware like the at&t family map and others
that come preinstalled.
So to the first step is tapping the three little dots on the top right hand corner on
the app drawer and then click hide/unhide apps.
Next check the apps you want to hide and then tap done.
Next is what order the apps will be displayed in.
Alphabetical or custom.
You can choose this by navigating to the app drawer and tapping the same three dots on
the top right hand corner and then tapping sort by.
From here you can choose either custom or alphabetical.
You may have already noticed that I actually have a folder in my app drawer called Google.
To add a folder again tap on the top right hand corner, select create folder, and enter
a name.
You can then check all the apps you would like to add and then press done to complete
the action.
Tip number 7 is how to customize the quick settings in your notification panel.
If you’re not familiar with the notification panel, it’s the circular icons you can quickly
toggle on and off when you pull down the notification bar.
You can edit these by tapping on the right hand corner and then tapping on the pencil
icon.
From here we can follow the written instructions to rearrange the order by dragging and dropping.
Tips 8 and 9 are how to change the text size and font on the Galaxy Note 4.
Step number one is to open up your settings, swipe over to device, and tap on display,
tap on font, and from there you can choose the size of the text and also the font it
will be in.
Our final tip is how to set up the finger print scanner and the first thing you’ll
need to do is go into the settings.
Next find the finger scanner, you can do this by either scrolling through the menus or searching
it and from here you’ll tap on fingerprint manager and then continue through the steps.
