hey friends this is brandon from this is tech today and I have 10 a hidden in
advance tips for you for the Galaxy S9 and s9+. tip number one is in
regards to the settings menu normally if you swipe down with one finger you have
to swipe down two times in order to access the settings if you use two
fingers you can immediately access those settings just like that tip number two
is the ability to use the fingerprint scanner to swipe down that settings menu
so go to your settings click on the gear and type in finger sensor gestures click
on that and then turn it on now when you swipe down on the fingerprint sensor the
notification shade will come down there you go tip number three is the screen
and font size go into your settings and click on display and then you'll see
font and screen zoom so you can change how much the phone zooms into an area as
well as the font size so if you happen to have a grandparent or it's difficult
to read small text you can change that here you can even change the font and
then another thing the galaxy s 9 and Galaxy S 9 plus for some reason defaults
to a 1080p resolution so you can turn it up to wqhd plus you have such a nice
display on the galaxy s 9 and s 9 plus why not use it to its full potential
this next one is my favorite and I do this on every single device if you
scroll all the way down to about phone click on software information and then
on build number tap it a few times type in your PIN and it says developer mode
has been turned on go to the last page go back again and then scroll all the
way down to the bottom and you'll see developer options scroll all the way
down to drawing or where you see the animation scale and change it but before
we do that let's look at how fast animations are ok do you see how fast it
is there now if you click on each one and change it to point 5 X see how fast
it is now
it's super snappy this is my favorite tip and no it doesn't impact your
battery life tip number five is the ability to double tap on the menu
switcher and go to the last app that you had open so if you just double tap on it
it'll pulp the last app that you're in tip number six is the ability to pin a
window so if you go into your settings go to lock screen and security let's go
all the way down to the bottom click on other security settings and then scroll
down again and then enable pin windows and then to use this just click on the
menu button and then scroll up and you see that little pin there if you click
on that now the window is pinned if you click on the home button it won't let
you out of it so this is really great if someone asked to borrow your phone and
you don't want them to snoop around on your device or you have kids and you
want them to only play the game in order to exit this just hold the back button
and then the menu button and then it's unpinned tip number seven is the
listview feature in the apps overview so if you click on the menu button and then
the three dots at the top right you can choose list view it looks a little clean
that way right and then if you want to go back to thumbnail view just click in
the three dots again and click thumbnail view there you go
tip number eight is the ability to lock up particular apps so that whenever you
close all of your apps this one doesn't close with it so hit the menu button and
then the three dots at the top right and then select lock apps and then choose
the app that you want to lock at that and then done and then now when you hit
close all settings will remain tip number nine is the ability to have a
split screen so you just hit the menu button and then there's this little icon
right here that has the two lines you can click on that and then I'll go to
split screen so now you can utilize both apps at the same time and you can even
resize it and to get out of it just swipe all the way down there you go tip
number ten is the pop-up action view which is a lot like the chat heads
option for facebook Messenger so just hold down on the menu screen and then
click and hold on the app that you want to go into the pop-up view and drag it
there and there it is it's in a little mini window and then there's a little
bubble that you can move around on your screen and then click on it and it pops
out I know I said there was ten tips but here's a bonus one I know a few of you
probably noticed that my navigation buttons are a bit different if you go to
your settings and in search just type in navigation bar and click on it again and
then you'll see the button layout at the very bottom so this is the default
layout for samsung devices if you click on it again it'll look like a stock
Android or pixel device so there are my top ten or really eleven hidden in
