Method 5: S Planner
you are watching VisiHow. Today we are going to show you how to use Air View, on your Samsung Galaxy S5, to get more information about events, in the S planner.
Steps
- 1To start with, we're going to press this button here on the right hand side of your phone.
- 2One press on that button, it's going to open up your lock screen.
- 3On your lock screen, you are going to swipe across the screen to unlock it, if you have a PIN code, or Pass code, or finger prints scan, or any other method of accessing your screen, such as a pattern, you are going to do that.
- 4This is going to take us to the home screen.
- 5Therefore if you are running a stock installation as I am, you want to need to go down to the bottom right hand side, to the Apps icon, which I am currently pointing at.Here, you can see that we have a few applications, but we do not have the S Planner application, that is because the S Planner application is not a default icon on the desktop, of the Samsung Galaxy S5.
- 6Depending on your set up in the applications you have installed, the S planner icon may appear in a different place than it does in my current set up. However, you can see the green calendar page, with the number 31 on it, here which I am currently pointing at, that reads S Planner.Tap on the Apps icon one time, this is going to show you the applications folder, where all the applications on your device are stored.
- 7Tap on that one time, and that will open up the S planner Calendar.
- 8Normally, you would have to tap each of these to see what it was, for example, if I tap on March the 3rd.Now, you will see that I have a series of green Dots on the calendar, you can see that March third has a green Dot, as well as 8th, 20th, and 21st.
- 9If I tap on the 8th, it tells me, that is the International Women's Day.It tells me, that's Mother's Day.
- 10However, I can also take my finger, and simply hover over the third, which pops up, Mother's Day.
- 11If I put my finger over the 20th, you can see that I have an appointment set "Hi".
- 12Now if I put my finger over the 9th, you will see that it is the Independent.., and we can tap that to get more information.If I put my finger over the 21st, you can see that it is now, Nowruz, which is the first day of Spring.
- 13And we will tap it again to get more information.
- 14So, there are all the details about it.
- 15You can go back, and tap on Detail view.
- 16I we hold our finger over here, it will also pops up more information.
- 17If I go one month by tapping up here, to March where I was before.
- 18I can put my finger over the 10th, I can see the " Orthodox Good Friday" pops up, for April 10th.
- 19Now for example, let me tap on the 3rd, which is Mother's Day.
- 20If I tap on the 8th, which is the International Women's Day, and if I hover my finger over that, it will also not show me any more information, because there is nothing extra to show. However, as I showed you before, tapping on the 9th, there is more information that can be displayed, so putting my finger over it actually shows me the full set of information for that particular event.On tap on the 3rd, and if I hover my finger over the Mother's Day here at the bottom, it will not show me any more information, because there is nothing extra to show.
- 21This is important, because there are many of the events that you are trying to quickly scroll through, so I may want to see what's on the 12, Just put my finger over it, so there it is as in the photo.
- 22Also what is happening on the 13th, just hover my finger over it, and the information pop's up.
- 23What is happening on the 9th of May, it is the Victory Day.
- 24This concludes our tutorial on how to use the Air View future with S Planner, to get back to the main screen, simply press the oval shaped button, at the bottom of your phone, which is the home button.So, you see that we have all of these options, where you can use the Air View to see more information about what you have going on, in your calendar, or in your self-calendar functions.
