Adjust Volume on Galaxy S5
Edited by Grimm, Margiebell, Eng, Inukshuk and 1 other
Hi you are watching VisiHow and today we are going to show you how to adjust the sound on your Samsung Galaxy S5 or S5 Mini. There are several ways you can do this. One method is by pressing the volume button, up or down.
Steps
- 1Tap the settings icon next to the volume.
- 2This will allow you to adjust system notification sounds, media sounds, ringtone sounds, and actual system sounds.
- 3Another method that we can use; (tap the screen to go out of there), is to go down to the apps icon which is down here on the bottom right.
- 4Tap on apps, and you are going to look for settings, which is a gear-shaped icon right here. Tap on this gear shaped icon.You can also swipe down from the notifications panel.
- 5It's going to pop settings up, and right here at the very beginning from settings, quick settings, you'll have sound.
- 6And now we have the sound mode, volume mode, ringtones, vibrations, vibrate when ringing, dialing keypad tone, touch sounds, screen lock sounds, sound when tapped, call, messages, email, S Planner, and then advanced: music effects.Simply tap on sound.
- 7So let's start off with sound mode, as you can see I've got some e-mail from VisiHow in sound mode.
- 8You can select from sound, vibrate, and mute. We're going to leave it on sound.Tap on sound mode.
- 9If you would select vibrate, it would put it on vibrate.
- 10If you would select mute, it would put it on mute.
- 11So now I'm going to tap on sound mode, and then tap on sound to be back to it.
- 12For volume, you simply tap volume.Next, we have the volume option.
- 13I'm going to go ahead and select cancel.And it gives you the same screen that we have earlier, for our different sounds across the system.
- 14If you would like, you could tap volume.
- 15You can adjust ringtone, the sound changes as I go down and up, when I go down all the way it changes to vibrate.
- 16When I put the ringtone on vibrate, it also changes the notifications, and system sounds to vibrate.
- 17The same for system sounds. So vibration is a master control. Music, video, games, and other media are affected differently than your ringtone. Just tap OK.However, if I put notifications down, all the way down, it does not change the ringtone.
- 18I can choose how I want my vibrations. Basic call vibration, a heartbeat vibration, then a jingle bell vibration, then we have a ticktock vibration, waltz, and zig-zig-zig. Basic call works for me, so that's what I'm going to keep.Next, we have vibrations.
- 19If you like, you can actually create a vibration.
- 20Press stop.So tap, tap, tap, etc, and then press create pattern.
- 21I'm not going to save this because, I'm not terribly interested in creating a pattern.Now I press play and this is my vibration pattern.
- 22Tap the back button to go back.
- 23Do I want the phone vibrating when ringing? Usually, yes, I do. It does use a little more battery, but not much. Dialing keypad tone, do I want the phone to beep when I'm dialing keypads? It's either a no or yes. I like it to make little beeps when I'm pressing keypad buttons, it let's me know that I'm actually pressing the buttons. Sometimes, I might not get some feedback and that bothers me. Touch sounds, you play sounds when making screen selections. Again, like dialing the keypad, I like that, because again, it might be noisy outside, you may not know that you've done something.Now, we'll do vibrate when ringing.
- 24This is good for two reasons. One, if you have a simple lock pattern, and you actually unlock your phone in your pocket, it is going to make some noise which can prevent you from accidentally calling your boss, or your significant other when maybe you didn't want to call them.Screen lock sound, so you can have a sound when locking the screen or unlocking the screen.
- 25This gives you the option to select whether or not there is a do-do sound.Next, sound when tapped.
- 26The call application.Now we have Samsung applications.
- 27We can choose to personalize our ringtones, and keypad tones, our sound, and our vibrate.
- 28I'm going to go ahead and have my call alerts vibrate.
- 29Just tap call to go back.
- 30You can repeat a message alert.And the same thing for messages.
- 31This is good for me.I like to repeat a message alert, let's say, every 10 minutes.
- 32Notifications sound, I really dislike this little whistle that I have, but probably the rest of them are not that great either.Vibrate is nice.
- 33We have a canary, I have children, that's fantastic, I'll have a canary in my pocket.
- 34You can go back, you can do the same thing, just tap call, and you can change the tones here.And there we go , I have a canary in my pocket when I get messages.
- 35Whether you want them, how you want them, what type of ringtone that you are going to have, for which phone line, so if I go to SIM 2, over the horizon, is my current ringtone.
- 36Here is Peaceful Strum.
- 37When someone gets a phone call and I have to listen to an entire song. Are you going to answer your phone? And they say, oh, I love this part of the song. Well, that's great, you have a music feature on your phone. Your phone should be ringing. Maybe I'm a little old fashioned, probably I'm a little old-fashioned, but, I'm not going to subject you to listening to me cycle through the tones until I find one that actually sounds like a phone to me. Or a canary, I did kind of like that. So let's go back from ringtones.For me, personally, that's extremely irritating.
- 38Back again from ringtones and keypad tones.
- 39You can also personalize call sounds.
- 40In call sound equalizer, and adapt the sound, you can pick a sound that works for you.
- 41However, this is another video.So you can set this up, and you can choose what works for you and how you like it.
- 42In call sound EQ, the same situation, you can choose how you want it to be. So soft sound, clear, adaptable sound.We'll get back to that later.
- 43So back to call.Again, these two things, we'll touch base on those in another video.
- 44You can choose your e-mail settings. Now, at the moment, Samsung is telling me I have no e-mail set up. I'm not going to set that up, so I'll hit cancel.The same thing applies to e-mail.
- 45Once I set that up, we'll do a tutorial on that as well.The same thing for S-Planner, I have S-Planner, but I'm not actually using it at the moment.
- 46For now, you can choose the alert type, pop-up, status bar notifications, is it going to make noise, or is it not going to make noise.
- 47Music effects is our last one. So, the music for the phone, you have two options, you have SoundAlive, and MusicFX.These are all things that are generally going to be specific to you.
- 48We'll come back to that as well in a future video where we'll be discussing that topic, OK? So that is how you adjust the sound, obviously the volume button is over here.These are the control panels where you adjust your music.
- 49Thank you for watching VisiHow, and have a great day and we'll look forward to seeing you again in a future video.We'll show you some more information on volume and volume settings in later videos for the more advanced features.
