hi guys this is Max from HighOnAndroid.com where we get on Android everyday anyway today
I want to talk to you about things you must do after buying a Samsung Galaxy s8
or si+ let's go take a look
notice in my unlocks video in order to use the iris scanner I actually have to
hit the power button and then swipe up to use the iris scanner and I was on
periscope yesterday and somebody was telling me you can go into lockscreen
and security going to iris scanner and simply turn on iris unlock when screen
turns on now a lot of people don't know this and if you don't know this you may
end up spending the next whole year doing the power and swipe all right now
with this on I can simply hit the power button and it will go into IR scanner
right away and I lock your phone alright so definitely do that if you're going to
use your IR scanner and somebody left a comment on my unboxing video can you use
gestures with the fingerprint scanner since it's sort of long it should be one
of the main features now if you go into settings it is very hard to find simply
do a search for finger sensor gestures going to finger sensor gestures simply
turn it on and now you'll be able to use your fingerprint sensor to access the
notification panel so these are some of the things that Samsung didn't enable by
default and some of the menus are very hidden all right you'll notice that my
navigation button is the opposite of the Samsung's default navigation bar and I
also got a custom color right you will also find that hidden I'm simply going
to search for navigation bar in settings all right you can go ahead and change
the color by picking any color you'd like let's say light green it's done
that will change your colors and also you can go ahead and change out the
button layouts you can go back home any sense
you can go recent home back which is a default now I actually preferred the
other methods back home recent which is stock Android so this way you can
customize the navigation bar to your liking another fact about this phone
even though resolution is set at 20 960 by 1440 it does not default to it
alright if you want to run this phone at full resolution you have to go into
settings display going to screen solution and manually set your
resolution to wqhd plus all right if you don't do that if you watch youtube
videos you'll be limited to 1080p once you do that you'll be able enjoy all of
your 1440p content and all of my videos in full 1440p also i've been starting to
use the blue light filter often I usually go here and manually turn it on
ah there you go this is cumbersome alright and I just found that you can
actually automate it when the Sun Goes Down I'm simply going to settings
display and go into blue light filter and turn on as scheduled and set this to
sunset to sunrise and what that will do is set the blue light filter on sunset
your time whether you live in California New York Korea whatever it will
automatically turn it on for you during sunset and it will turn it off during
sunrise so definitely do that blue light filter can cause sleeplessness is not
good for your eyes not good for your health so definitely
turn that off right lastly but not least you'll notice that I do have a case as
soon as I got the phone I actually put the case on actually put the case on
during my unboxing middle of my unboxing the reason is that I step out to my back
yard I actually broke to galaxy s7 edge screens right here in my back yard I
dropped it in the rocks alright having a case won't protect your phone 100% but
it will minimize the damage and with the edge screens once you drop it on the
edges you can say goodbye to your screen that's it I've seen it happen so many
times you my friend and Rob he just told me he broke his second galaxy s7 X if
you wanna if you want to get a good case get a case that will have a gap when you
place the edge screen against a flat surface and you can see this case even
though the gap is very small it's still going to protect the phone a lot better
than if you didn't have a case or you may want to invest in its comfort screen
protector I know the curved screen edges are really bad with that so I'm going to
do my research I will have another video on it if you actually gotta use your
phone naked because you're just boss at least get insurance
alright every time you break the screen it's going to cost you four hundred US
dollars that's right four hundred US dollars or I see a bunch of these people
that are you seeing Galaxy s7 edge with cracked
screens don't be a crackhead get insurance to get a case or use some
kind of protection anyway if you just got the Galaxy s8 or
si+ and if these tips helped you don't forget to leave a thumbs up and I'll see
you guys as always stay on Android
