This is for random tricks that aren't widely known.
I'll start off...
Missing that search button key on the bottom from the SGSII? Have no fear, just press and hold the menu key, which acts like the search key
Annoyed of the home button lag? turn off double tap to activate S voice within that program and your home key will be much more responsive
Can anyone think of anything else?
Edit: Ironlood has put together a list of tips and tricks. Thanks!
1.Hold menu button for search menu - eyecon82
2.To get rid of home button lag open up S-Voice and navigate to settings and untick the launch with double tap home button -eyecon82
3.Lock screen app settings are listed under security in settings - kegacide
4.you can swipe the screen with the side of your hand to take a screenshot, or hold home and power-kegacide
5.Hold down physical button and you can close all open apps and go to the task manager - hawkeye2188
6.Buttons on the bottom of the lock screen and can be swiped and open that application - hawkeye2188
7.You can also swipe away individual apps after holding down the home button - NA 521"
8.first go to settings>language and input and turn on voice cmd for apps. I had it on early today and said cheese and the camera snapped a photo...pretty cool -s3xda (on a side note it seems as though the variants have different voice cues try snap, cheese, shutter, and go)
9.In settings > sound > device vibration, you can select a different pattern of vibrate, or just make your own by touching create! - Zoidpilot
10.In app drawer > widgets, Sammy added a widget to use flash as a flashlight, and a widget to turn the entire phone into negative colors.-Zoidpilot
11.You can set the brightness in the majority of stock apps (i.e. the browser) to be app specific, instead of just setting a brightness for the entire system. For example: set the brightness to auto in the system settings, then open the stock browser > brightness and colors, and set it to high. Now the system will have auto brightness, but it will always go to high/bright when you are in the browser! -Zoidpilot
12.If you go to Phone > Logs > call logs, you can long-press a number (like that telemarketer you always reject) and select "add to reject list" to have the phone automatically reject the call every time. You can also unblock the number in case you change your mind.-Zoidpilot
13.In the stock messaging app, you can go to settings, and on the top you will find options to change the background and bubble style of the messages.-Zoidpilot
14.Samsung's S-Voice can do complex mathematical equations for you, then show them in different answers. For example, open S-Voice, and ask "how many inches are in a mile?". Or "what's the square root of 543,636?". -Zoidpilot
15.In settings > security > lock screen options > shortcuts, you can change what shortcuts appear on your lockscreen, or take them out altogether.-Zoidpilot
16.On the headphones that came with your device, you will see a single button and the volume controls. One press of the single button will pause the music, two presses in quick succession will skip to the next track. -Zoidpilot
17.In settings > wallpaper > home & lockscreen, if you select a live wallpaper, it will show as your lock screen as well. It will deactivate the ripple effect though if you have it active.-Zoidpilot
18.You can also use pop-up play on streaming online videos as long as they're not YouTube videos, and as long as you use the stock video player to stream them.-Zoidpilot
19.Pictures come out better with the camera if you hold the camera button and let it focus before the shot, rather than just pressing it after touching the focus box.-Zoidpilot
20.The stock browser has "incognito mode" just like Google Chrome! You can access it by opening the browser, the touching the top right corner to see open windows, then touching the incognito icon. While you're incognito, no history/cookies/or form data will be saved.-Zoidpilot
21.While you are on a call, on the screen where the contact picture is displayed, there is a speaker icon in a bubble. Touch it to increase the call volume past the maximum setting. It works on speaker or on headset setting.-Zoidpilot
22.If you're not rooted, but want to get rid of those pesky bloatware apps, go to settings > application manager > all, and select the app. Within those settings you can clear the information the app has, then disable the app with the top right button. You may need to uninstall updates before it says disable app though... you can also go to the app drawer, hit menu, then select "hide apps" to hide the bloatware icons you've disabled. -Zoidpilot
23.With voice cmd turned on, you can snooze your alarm by saying snooze. -s3xda
24.Cover the screen with the palm of your hand to pause media playback. -NA 521"
25.You can use S Voice like a translator,for example: What is the meaning of house in spanish?-TitaniumBarbell
26.I just found out the contents of the clipboard stay there even after a reboot.-kingwp
27.touch wiz scrolling wallpapers fix go Settings > Wallpaper > Home Screen... If you set them independantly you will be able to crop the wallpaper just like any other HC/ICS device-nonmindo
28.you can get your status bar in ANY full screen app, even full screen games. How? Start with your finger touching just outside of the top of the display and drag down, it will fade in and you can check your notifications, it works both in landscape and portrait mode-nonmindo
29.I noticed that any time you send an email in gmail with our new phones (t-mobile version at least), it puts a stupid T-mobile signature at the bottom of the email. I found that you can change it by going to gmail>menu>settings>[email protected]>signature and putting in whatever you want.-moonfire711
30.Also, go into your dialer>menu>settings for more in call goodies.-moonfire711
31.Many probably already know this, but I just found out that you can turn on the screen with the physical home button instead of the power button. Which is nice if it's laying down on a desk or something.-moonfire711
32.If you get tired of re-unlocking your screen when it turns off, you can set it to not lock for a set period of time after the screen turns off... Go to menu>settings>security>Lock automatically and change the timeout.-moonfire711
33.If you go into Settings > Sounds > Auto Haptic It will enable haptic feedback on your games/apps based on sound, pretty neat!! (note: doesnt work on all games/apps, but does on many)-nonmindo
34.In relation to the haptic feedback with sound... Tap on the left side of the toggle (where the text is), and it'll open up a menu to choose which ones to enable/disable. -pizz0wn3d
35.The wiimote controller successfully pairs and works with our SGS3s! -pizz0wn3d
36.For your contacts or logs, slide left to direct call and slide right to direct text.-jaytxvo
37.while in the stock video player press the picture in picture button to pop out the video -s3xda
38.Super video does pic-in-pic -20blks
39.***Sprint Specific*** In order to turn on and off LTE ... Settings >wireless settings>more settings >network mode>lte/cdma -iphony89
40.camera quick access... allows you to touch the lockscreen and rotate the screen to open the camera... Settings > security > lock screen options > camera quick access -Cappurnikus
41.pull down the notification touch the time and it will open the world clock (might be variant specific) -Deputy13
42.I have only tested this with Windows Media Player, but I assume any DLNA equipped TV/media device would work. This is great if you want to quickly show a slideshow of photos or play some media file on your tv/computer.1) Go Settings/More Settings/Nearby Devices 2) Turn on file sharing and change any options you'd like. Since I'm on my own my Wifi network, I just disabled access control, otherwise you have to approve every device.3) Start Windows Media Player. Make sure under Stream "Allow Remote Control" is checked. You should see your phone show up under "Other Libraries" in WMP. Mine shows up as [Mobile]SCH-135.4) Go into Gallery and select a picture. If connected properly, in the upper right hand corner there will be a new little icon with a monitor and some arrows. Touch this and it will allow you to select a playback device. 5) Now the picture should show up in a maximized screen in WMP. Sometimes it takes a good 10-20 seconds. Videos take much longer, but they work and what I got was the first frame, followed by a good 20 seconds of a "Processing" notification on the Galaxy S3. When I browsed from WMP to my phone videos, it buffered for a very long time, so this "processing" notification is the buffering taking place. I don't know why DLNA needs such a long time to buffer over a home Wifi network.6) Whenever you change folders you have to click the DLNA icon again and re-select your playback device. Not sure why this is, seems like a bug...Unfortunately I did a little research and there is no way to physically copy files to your computer through DLNA, you'll have to use other methods.Make sure you turn this stuff off when you connect to public Wifi .-sluzbenik
44.When viewing videos using the stock video player, you can lock the touchscreen by pressing the power button so that the video does not get interrupted by inadvertent touches. This is especially useful if you are using your phone to entertain your baby or toddler. Also works with mx player though haven't tried it with other players -limeaid
45.Do not know if it has been mentioned already, but you can also bring the phone up to your ear and it will call that contact.-ricky babalu
46. if you are in the apps drawer, and you pinch the screen, you will see all pages of your apps and can quickly choose the one you want.-moonfire711
47.Haven't noticed this being addressed but regarding S-Beam it appears that both phones are required to utilize the same app that is involved with the file being transferred. For example, I use "quickpic" as the default image viewer and when I used s-beam to test a pic transfer, the phones connected however my buddy's phone went to the play store and more specifically went to the "quickpic" downlad page. Obviously my buddy's phone required him to dl the app in order to finish the transfer. I then opened the same file via "gallery" and reinitiated the transfer. This time the phones connected and transferred the file without a hitch. -augustorm
48. lock screen shortcuts can be edited on the swipe lock screen go to settings/security/lock screen options/shortcuts click the word shortcuts and not the toggle it will bring up the 4 shortcuts and your allowed to change which app is accessed or what order there displayed in -ironlood
49. Just found a way to substantially increase smoothness. Under Developer Options--> Limit Background Processes. I set mine to 5 and notice a difference -eyecon82
50. Quick Controls in Internet Browser:
Tap the Menu button
Settings option
Click Labs and check the Quick Controls box. - iLLusive
51. Battery Percentage:
Go to Settings
Click Display and check the "Display battery percentage" box- iLLusive
51. Not for sprint. -- Color Saturation, Go to Settings -->Click Display -->Click Screen mode and choose between four options; Dynamic, Standard, Natural and Movie- iLLusive
52. Battery Percentage:
Go to Settings
Click Display and check the "Display battery percentage" box- iLLusive
53. Enable Smart Stay: (Screen stays on when eyes are looking at it)
Go to Settings
Click Display and check the "Smart stay" box- iLLusive
54. Alphabetical Sorting of the Apps Drawer:
Open the apps drawer
Press Menu
Select “View type”
Select “Alphabetical Grid”- iLLusive
55. Silence Camera Sound
-You have to bee rooted for this one to work but it will silence the camera shutter.
-Use an file exployer app,I use root exployer
-Using root exployer go to system>media>audio>UI
-Scroll till you see:
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_multiple.ogg
-Click in Root exployer on the the "mount R/W " to change to "mount R/O"
-then rename those files to :
Shutter.ogg.bak
Shutter_multiple.bak
and no more shutter sound when taking pictures ,to get sound back simply remove the .bak of the files you renamed and sound will be back - David NC
56. Accessing the Service menu
The Service menu is activated through a sort of code that you enter into the dial pad of the phone. To get started:
Start your Phone app
Get to the Keypad screen
Type in: *#0* #
You now should have in front of you a screen with a 5 X 3 grid of options.

I heard that the GSII has a swipe status bar to turn up brightness? Does this follow over to the GSIII? Could anyone confirm or deny?

Nope. It's not on the GSIII. This is something I miss from the GSII.

Once the ICS update rolled out, it was gone. It's not a GS2 vs GS3 issue. It's an ICS issue.

Agreed. This is the feature I miss most about my S2. You'd think they'd have SOMETHING with all the random gesture/bump/close on eye stick out tongue gesture combinations they have on this device to control the brightness.

You can also swipe away individual apps after holding down the home button. An HTC rep at an AT&T store told me that one today. She was trying to show off the One X. Everything that phone could do, my Galaxy could do. It was great. She even told me how the One X was made of polycarbonate and that the Galaxy was made of plastic. She learned a lot today...
first go to settings>language and input and turn on voice cmd for apps. I had it on early today and said cheese and the camera snapped a photo...pretty cool

You need to have a good portion of the screen covered with your hand (instructions say use your palm) and just swipe it across in an even motion.
Also make sure the function is turned on in the motion settings!
Same thing here with the screenshot, I feel dumb as hell as I still can't get it to work.
Also , is anyone using the stock ICS keyboard? I hate the Samsung keyboard.

Hold ur hand out like your doing a karate chop and swipe across the screen from either direction, left or right. Its really simple

I've just discovered that my gyro sensor doesn't work. I am running rooted stock 4.1.1. The phone can not detect tilt movements. And under Settings->Motion->Sensitivity settings->Gyroscope calibration, the blue dot does not move from the center, no matter which orientation the phone is held. All of the options under Motion don't seem to work. I just want to see if anybody else has the same problem before calling TMobile.
Firstly, this should have been posted in the q&a section.
And the blue circle isn't supposed to move. You lay the phone on a flat surface and it calibrates itself.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. You are right about the blue dot not moving. I downloaded a few apps that detect sensors and all built-in sensor seem to be working as they are supposed too. I have problem for example of taking screenshot with a palm wipe or zooming picture by tilting the device, muting phone by turning it over, etc. None of these features work on my phone. Will try to explore more to see what the real problem is.

Before you go off the deep end, run the test on the sensor.
in the stock dialer:
Quick Test Menu
*#7353#
select the accelerometer tester and ilt the phone whatever way you want. If the arrows don't change, then the sensor isn't working. If the Arrows do change, then all good, no panic necessary...
Good Luck
Aloha
Thank you for your help. I ran the sensor test and the sensors work. I also turned on the Motion switch but the Motion features still don't work for me. Maybe this is a software issue. I will continue to explore and will report back if I've found something.

Hi,
Please do the following:
Pull the top notification bar down by using a downward swipe.
Tap on the Toothed Wheel in upper right corner
scroll down till you see the System divider (below the Add account line)
is Motion ON on the right side of it? if not, turn it on.
Tap on the word Motion
Are any of the options you want to use set with a check in the box?
if not, put the check in whatever you want to use by tapping on the box on the right of the function.
Example:
If you want to use Palm swipe for screen captures, tap on the box on the right of the option.
the boxes toggle these options so if you want the option off, then tap on the checkmark and it'll go off.
When you're done, click on the back button on the right side of the menu bar below the screen till you get back to the homescreen.
You are done, and the selected options should now function.
simple huh?
Thank you, bobolinko. I've been doing exactly what you described and no motion feature works for me. I begin to think that my software has a problem, because it does crash occasionally and software upgrade check hangs forever in the "checking for software updates..." screen and never comes back, no matter if I am on wifi or on 4G. Let me reinstall stock firmware and report back.
Try it like this:

Thanks for the video. I did exactly as shown and nothing happens. I never tried Motion before until I needed to capture my screen and discovered that it doesn't work for me. In the mean time, using PWR and HOME button at the same time does allow me to capture the screen, so I don't really need Motion feature working for me. I am just thinking that my software has a problem and I will need to reinstall stock. Thanks a lot for your help in any case.

But how can I turn off the pedometer?

not exactly "disabling" it, but you can pause it
open up s-health, go to the pedometer section, hit the settings button "pause pedometer"
if you happen to have a device (watch/band/etc) that can count steps, i would think you can use the "Switch device" option at that same menu and select that device, then just never sync it.. that _should_ effectively turn off the pedometer on the phone *shrugs*
Thanks alot
I use my phone on my bike in a holder, and when I go to unlock it says touch disable mode. I press volume up and power to disable and it never disables, and I don't see a way to disable this mode under smart assistance like there was on the previous version. I'm on Oreo. Please help a brother out!

it has to do with the light sensor being covered.
might be to do with the holder covering or partly covering the top portion of the screen

I searched everywhere for the setting to disable the touch disable mode. It looks like they forgot to add in the Oreo update. I have suggestions that you can try:
1. Press the volume up and power buttons three times to enable/disable the feature: I found this solution somewhere online but it doesn't work for me.
2. If it is possible, you can cut the part of the holder that is covering the proximity sensor. I have used CPU-Z to find out where exactly the proximity sensor is located. It is located in the space between the front camera and the earpiece.
3. Send a mail or call the Huawei/Honor support team. They might be able to help you and with a software update months later, it might be fixed.
Yeah I need this **** disabled too. I like to peek at my phone from half way out my pocket and this stupid **** always comes up.
I just found the solution. Hallelujah!
Download the Settings Database Editor app on Google Play:

I got the phone today, any information why double tap to wake is not possible. or activated ?
I have no idea, but I would also very much like to know. I miss my double tap...!
Same here, just received the phone: Quality seems quite good but I'm surprised this basic functionality (double tap to wake) is not available.
From what I read, if it's not implemented at kernel level then no apps can bring it to the phone ...
If anyone has more info, that would be great!
As an alternative this app can be tried. It wakes the device up by wave gesture.
It must be checked if Mi A2 Lite still goes to deep sleep mode and doesnt stay awake when app is active (hint by dev that some devices have problems)
Also it must be checked if Fingerprint is working without any issues like re-enter PIN after fingerprint unlock
Same problem, got the phone last saturday... it seems that the oreo version has it but our phone's didn't...
This ROM is extremely light so they removed most of the common features.
Let's just wait for a semi-official Lineage release for A2L.
Or you can wait until someone builds a kernel for this device. Many Kernels enable tap to wake functionally.

I thought the finger print sensor would make tap to wake useless lol.
I got the phone 3 days ago. Double-tap to wake works from day one.
I really wish I could turn it OFF.
Ambient Light is Off, TalkBalk is Off but phone still wakes up in my pocket all the time.
Anyone know how to turn this feature Off please?

As it turns out, this phone comes with two types of display CSOT & EBBG.On csot, the double tap works, but it can not be turned off, and on ebbg it does not work.

Strangely, on my A2 Lite, double tap only wakes up the screen. Double tapping when screen is awake does nothing at all.
I emailed Xiaomi Support about this, asking how I could disable the waking up. The reply came from Xiaomi Support Malaysia:
Go to the Settings - Select Accessibility - Select advanced settings - Turn on the pocket mode option
I replied, "There is no Advanced Settings under Accessibility. There is also no setting available when I search for pocket or double or tap twice."
Their advice was to backup and perform a Factory Reset, which I think is nonsense.
