Help turn phone over and ringtone/music shuts off

Hi there,
I set my phone to go to silent when I turn the phone over if its ringing or music is playing. I.E. i place it screen down and it goes silent. How do I reverse this?

Thanks

Hi Chiinagiirl, this is a motion activated feature.

You'll need to go to Settings>My Device > Motion> then uncheck "turn over to mute or pause"

You can also check/uncheck any other motion activated features there too.

I'm trying to make that feature work on my Galaxy s5 and I've gone to settings and checked it on, but when I turn it facedown it still makes noise. How do I make it work?
