  • Motion activation. Turns on (or off) your phone’s motion features.

  • Turn over. Select this and you can mute incoming calls and phone sounds by merely turning your phone over.

  • Tilt. When you’re in the Gallery or using the browser, you can reduce or enlarge the screen by tilting your phone. Tap here and a slider appears that lets you set the tilt sensitivity.

  • Panning. This lets you control the Galaxy S II’s panning sensitivity, when you move icons from one panel to another on the Home screens, for example.

  • Double tap. This lets you turn on Voice commands by double-tapping the Home button.

At the bottom of the screen you can find buttons for tutorials on using the phone’s motion features.
