welcome into the video I am your Tech Guy Wayne and today I'm bringing you a part two to my Samsung Galaxy A35 for beginners a lot of you left great feedback and I wanted to make a part two video to show you more things you can learn and also I wanted to answer some of your questions that you left in the comments on the first video so I'm going to start with answering a couple of your questions and then we're going to go into some other tips that will help you with learning the phone and also show you some more things you can do with the phone that you may not be aware of so let's start with this first comment that says how do I turn the phone off okay so to do this you're going to swipe down from the top of the screen swipe down again so when you swipe down two times this power button is going to show up you can tap on that button it will take you to the power menu and you can restart or power off just like that now there's another way to do this uh but you have to make one settings tweak first so right now when you hold down on the power button it will launch your Bixby assistant but you can change it so when you hold the power button it will take you to the power menu to do this you swipe down from the top swipe down again tap on that same power button but this time tap on side button settings and here change press and hold from Wake big speed to power off menu once you make that tweak now we can hold the power button and this will take you to the power menu which will allow you to power off the phone okay next comment says how do I transfer my contacts and my pictures from my iPhone well transferring data from any phone it's the same process you need to go to your settings so swipe down from the top of the screen tap on the settings wheel in the upper right corner go to accounts and backup and from here tap on transfer data for device setup tap on receive on this phone tap on iPhone iPad obviously for iPhone users if you have an Android tab on Android but for iPhone cuz the person who ask specifically asked about iPhone from here next tap on get data from iCloud that's one option you have the other option is transferring wirelessly next tap on Get Smart Switch on your iPhone or iPad and on your iPhone you'll simply need to go to the camera and just scan this QR code and it will take you right to this app in the app store that you can download and once you've downloaded the app then you'll want to scan this QR code once you open the Samsung Smart Switch app and that will allow you to start the process of transferring your data so that's just a rough rundown of beginning the process of transferring the rest of your data from an iPhone okay this next user asked how do I add a contact to my phone so this is really easy to do you're going to go to the phone app and make sure you're on the keypad and simply type in a phone number the one you want to save okay so I've typed in this phone number and to save it to my phone instead of hitting the call button I'm going to tap on the plus Plus in the upper right corner and this will give me the option to create a new contact tap create a new contact you'll want to select your Google account so it'll back it up to your Google Cloud if you ever lose your phone at least that phone number is going to be backed up and saved from here you just type in the phone number and then you can swipe up to add any additional information you can hit view more and there's other uh notes you can add into that contact you can you can also tap on the the camera icon at the top and you can add a picture of that person so when they call their picture comes up and when you're all done just simply hit save and now that number is locked into your phone as a contact now if you have any more questions on the Samsung A35 make sure to leave them in the comment section down below and if we get enough responses I'll make a part three of this video and I'll answer your questions all right let's go into some other beginner tips to help you with using the phone so I want to show you how to navigate the apps on the home screen and some really important things you should know about so one if you ever have an app on one of these screens that you want to get rid of maybe you don't want the Play Store app to be on the home screen you can put your finger on it just long press and this will bring up this menu and from here you can tap on the remove button and that will remove it off of the home screen now maybe there's another app that you do want to be on the home screen well swipe up this will take take you to your app drawer and let's say you want to have your YouTube music on the home screen because you love to listen to music you can hold down on the app for one second it'll bring up a very similar menu and you'll tap add to home screen now it added it on this page notice this is the main page it added it on the next page so if I hold down for one second but keep my finger on it and I drag I can actually drag the app all the way over and drop it onto the main screen here so this is a great tip so that now you can put exactly what apps you want to see on your home screen just by knowing how to drag them from one page to the other now next I want to go over what are called widgets now widgets are really useful um features that will allow you to get more information on your home screen to access this feature you simply hold down on the home screen so find a spot where there's no apps and just press for one second it'll bring up this menu tap on the widgets button and here you'll see a list of really useful things you can add to your home screen for example Gmail if you tap on the drop- down arrow right next to Gmail and tap on inbox and add you can add this so tap on primary you can have this popup that's going to show up on your home screen and it'll show you if you have new emails now I don't want it on this page I want it on the other page so I'm gonna long press for one second and then I'm going to just start dragging it long press drag it and I can drag it over to my home screen and now every time I unlock the phone so phone is locked I'm going to unlock it I'll be able to see if I have any new emails I can swipe through and just get a little preview of my last 10 emails that I've hit my box I use this on my personal phone all the time and it's so help F to just be able to see if anything new or important has come through that I need to respond to you can also make this larger so if you put your finger on the box for one second it'll bring up a menu and there's a little bubble that you'll find at Each corner of the square and you can drag down on that bubble to make this bigger or even make it wider if you want to stretch it out like this I'm going to bring it up just like this and drop it just like that now every time I unlock my phone I can always see if I have new emails now let's long press and go back to widgets I want to show you uh another one that's really useful as well there's one that's for battery and this one will help you keep track of um how much battery your phone has if you're using a smartwatch or earbuds it'll also help you track the battery levels on those other Samsung devices as well that's super helpful you can drop that one on the home screen device care is another really helpful widget and I already have this one on the screen right now when I tap on this it actually clears my Ram so that my phone can run faster and smoother sometimes there's things happening in the background of the phone that you're not familiar with that are slowing the phone down so this just does a quick optimization it closes out running apps and it clears Ram so my phone can run smoother now this last widget I think you all are going to really love this is a widget that will help you track your steps for the day so hold down once again on the home screen tap on widgets and we're going to go to the health section tap on the drop down and there's three options here you have one for daily activity sleep and steps steps drag that to the home screen and this is really cool it's very simple it's just going to track your steps based on when you're holding the phone so obviously if you put your phone down it's not going to track those steps but whenever you're holding the phone it will be tracking those steps now we're going to tap on the app because the first time you tap on it it does need to ask you a couple of questions you just need to accept um the app terms and conditions it's a free app don't worry you don't need to do anything but we're just going to give it permission answer a couple of questions and then after that we're all set we'll give it that uh one permission and now you have this really nice app that will help you keep track of your activity for the day now if you're someone who is really serious about your steps and you want to make sure that all your steps count um not just when you're holding the phone I would encourage you to look into getting one of these this is the Samsung fit 3 it is a really inexpensive Fitness tracker that will link right with your 835 and you can use this to track your steps all throughout the day so whether you're holding the phone or not this will track your steps your heart rate it'll track your sleep you can also track your water intake uh and uh it has about a 5day battery life from my experience of using it for a couple of months so you don't have to charge it very often and this thing retails for around $59.99 so really inexpensive price and it will help you to keep track of all your steps throughout the day not just when you're holding the phone I'll link it on screen right here in case you want to check this out let's keep talking about apps I want to swipe up and go to our app drawer now you might have an app in here that you say I want to delete this app off my phone altogether so if you ever want to do that the process is very simple you simply need to hold down on the app for one second and it's going to bring up this menu tap on the uninstall button and this will actually remove the app Al together from the phone so you won't see it it's totally gone it's a really easy way to just clear it out next I want to show you a cool way to customize the phone so if you notice the background of the phone is this kind of pearl purple picture it's really nice but you might say gosh I would much rather have a picture of myself and my family on this what is called wallpaper so I want to show you how to change this first to one of your own personal pictures we're going to hold down the home screen and tap on wallpaper and style in the bottom left corner tap on change wallpaper and go to gallery and here we can go to our different folders of pictures I'm going to tap on this camera folder and I'm going to I I don't have any pictures of myself and family so I'm just going to pick a random picture I'm going to make this picture right here my new wallpaper so I tapped on that I'm going to hit done and now it's showing you what it will look like a little preview now you can add this to your home screen and your lock screen the lock screen is when you first turn the phone on or you can just add it to the home screen I'm going to uncheck the box for lock screen because I just want it to be on my home screen I'm going to hit next and this is a bigger preview and then I'm going to hit done next hit the home button and now this is my new wallpaper so that's how easy it is to take any picture on your phone and make it your background picture now there's another set of wallpapers that you can access aside from your own pictures let me show you how to do that let's hold down the home screen tap on themes and this will take you to the Samsung Galaxy theme store now this is a free app that comes installed on just about every Samsung phone and it's it's a great place that has tons of free and paid themes that you can download for the phone now now I always like to show people how do I get the free themes or free wallpapers cuz I don't personally like to pay for these extra add-ons so I'm going to show you my trick on how to get cool wallpapers without paying for them let's go to wallpaper go to top and where it says all tap on the drop down and tap on free this will sort what you see by what is only free and I always say let's look through and see what's free first before downloading anything that costs money you might find a lot of great things in here that you like so let's just pick one at random I like this one I'm going to tap on it tap download tap apply I just want this to be my home screen picture so I'm going to hit next hit done and now I have this really cool Road as the background of the phone so I encourage you to go through the theme store and look at all the cool things that you can do there's so many great wallpapers and themes the difference between a theme and a wallpaper is this the wallpaper is just one background picture for the phone but a theme is a lot more so for example let's pick this one right here this will change the background of the phone but it will also Change your app icons as well so you'll have icons that will match the background it'll also change your lock screen it'll change the color of your dialer and all your numbers your text messages and your notification panel so it changes everything so it's a little bit more extensive and don't worry my little trick works in this section of the app as well go to top all go to free and then you can see all the free themes that you can download so that's just a cool way for you to customize the phone next I want to show you how to change the notification sounds that come through the phone to your ringtone notification sound things like that so there's a shortcut to get to that menu by simply tapping on the volume up or volume down button when this menu comes up tap on the three dots and then tap on the settings wheel right here this will take you into the sound settings of the phone now here it's just showing us the different volume bars for ringtone and for media and things like that but if we hit the back button it'll take us into our sounds and vibration menu and this is where you can change your ring tone you can change what sound the phone makes when you get a text message so let's go to ringtone and this is the universal sound if you have T-Mobile but we can go through here and start listening to some of the the other sounds I actually like that one so I'm just going to to now that the bubble is on that I'm just going to hit the back button and guess what now I've changed my ringtone to that so it's super easy let's go to notification sounds now this is the default and I'm sure you guys are tired of hearing that sound by now so um here's some of the other options that's kind of an old school [Music] sound I kind of like that Cosmic radio so let's stick with that hit the back button so guess what we've just changed our ringtone and notification sound and now you know you can change that as often as you like but it's just nice to know how to do that because the sounds can get really annoying after a while or you might live in a household with with multiple people who have Samsung phones and you always hear the same sound going off and you never know if it's your phone or their phone so that's another reason why it's good to be able to change this if you're getting value out of this video so far make sure you bump that like button down below it helps to send this video out to more people and it's a way of saying thank you that cost you no money lastly I want to go over what is called the app Edge and this is um a another kind of exclusive Samsung feature if you notice on the right side here there's this little gray bar and this is the the edge panel so by putting your finger on the edge edge of the phone and just swiping into the phone you'll bring up this menu which is called your app Edge now this is a way to set shortcut apps that you can access on any screen of the phone so whether you're on the home screen or you're even in Google Chrome you can always swipe over to bring up this menu and generally you want to customize this to whatever apps you use the most all you have to do is tap on this little pencil in the bottom corner and here you can first um delete any of these apps that you don't want to be a shortcut so maybe you don't want Google meet to be a shortcut there's a little a black circle with a red minus in it if you tap on that it'll get rid of the app for you and then you can go through here and say you know I really want I really want the my files to be on here I want my soliter game and I want my Samsung smart things on here and as you keep adding it will you know turn it into two columns versus one and now when I swipe over I have those as a shortcut now these top four are going to be uh recently used apps and so this is an easy way to get back to an app that you've been using if you want to continue to do things in it you can also change this by tapping on the pencil upper right corner tap on the three dots and change so basically turn off show recent apps so now it will just be only the apps that you want to select so it's up to you if you want to have recent apps there or not we've come to the end of our video hit the like button down below thanks again for watching take care and as always have a good one
