Notification Panel and Quick Settings
The Galaxy Tab makes sure to always keep you updated with information about its current status, and with any news, updates, and information it thinks is important. It does this by displaying a variety of icons in the Notification Panel at the bottom right of the screen. You’ll find a variety of icons there, including those that give information about the current state of the Tab, such as Wi-Fi signal strength, 3G or 4G connection status, battery life, and so on. There are also notifications about events, such as a new email or chat message received, a calendar event reminder, and so on.
When a new notification comes in, it briefly appears in a pop-up window with information about it—part or all of a chat message, for example. Tap the notification, and you launch the app that sent that notification. For instance, if the notification is about incoming messages, tapping it will launch Gmail or your email software.
If you miss the notification pop-up, don’t worry—the small icon showing you’ve received a notification stays in the Notification Panel. Tap the icon, and the pop-up appears again. You can then tap the pop-up to head to the app. If you want the notification icon to vamoose, tap the X next to it.
