Galaxy S II: The Missing Manual

Sound

HERE’S WHERE TO GO to change just about everything about the way that the Galaxy S II handles sounds, such as your ringer and playing music, and even the display. Tap Sound to get to these options:

• Silent mode. Tap to turn off all your phone’s sounds, except for alarms and media, such as music.

• Vibration. Tap to control when the phone vibrates to indicate an incoming call. It’s especially useful when combined with turning off the ringer for incoming calls, or for when you set the volume too low. Your choices are to always vibrate when you receive a call, never vibrate, vibrate only when you’ve set your phone to silent mode, or only when the phone isn’t in silent mode.

• Volume. Tap to set the volume for media, notifications, the system, and your ringtone when you receive a call. A slider appears that lets you set the volume for each individually. The Galaxy S II plays the new volume level when you move the slider, so if you’re not satisfied with what you hear, change it again until you reach the level you want.

  

  Note

  To set the overall sound volume for your Galaxy S II, use the volume buttons along its left-hand side, near the top.

• Phone ringtone. Tap this to change your phone ringtone. When you tap it, a list of available ringtones appears, including the one you’re currently using. Browse ...
