But this is why samsung doesn't include certain apps by default, like Good Lock, Expert Raw, hidden Labs features, etc. If you want a basic phone then that's what you get without installing the extra stuff. It gives the customer a choice.
I understand I did the droid thing for a decade... no shade but most of them I don't use. I couldn't even get goodlock to work right.

Not to mention the themes only work with the stock keyboard and that's cheeks...

I see the purpose, if I had a reason I'd go back to it but I don't
I just discovered his channel. His voice is listenable and informative enough without being boring. All the vids but the sensor one has at least one tip I enabled. I'm extremely happy with the stack for for the recent apps and the bixby app to translate text and detect and cut and paste text. I saw the translate text option before I purchased the phone but could never figure out how to get it to work. The detect and cut and past text option via the bixby widget is faster and more accurate than what is built into the cam.
You don't have to tell me the power of droid, I been there and done that but I don't use most of those features and bixby is trash, also siri.

The only thing I really miss from droid is google phone app which blocks spam, the manly watch imao, google messages which block spam too..

apple doesn't do any of this I get spam all day imao...

To each their own at the end of the day, I prefer ios at the end of the day.

Lmao. If you're using apple why are you here? I don't mean that to sound snarky, I'm just curious. It's a thread about Samsung and I didn't want to do a separate thread for the tips I found useful.

I had to send my flip 4 in for repair and it will be back in a few days, so I'm experimenting with phone features on the s22 ultra and making a list of the settings I need to change back. Some of these changes I had already made, but didn't document, and some settings I didn't fool with because I wasn't sure of their function and didn't want to fool with the setup that was working for me. When I switched to Samsung it was because my blackberry was on its last legs and my only concern was getting a similar layout experience to what I had before so I'm just now delving into the extras.

The videos I'm posting are ones where I've changed at least one of the settings and decided to keep. Some of them have stuff already mentioned in a diff video, but he time stamps his topics and those are easy to skip.

I'm also noting things i want to change in the future. I plan on changing the password display so when you type in a password it doesn't show the character before masking it, but my typing accuracy on the flip is horrible, so unless I'm going to be traveling or in a crowd I don't need that right now. I'm only considering because of the story they had about people compromisingn apple phones by getting their typed in password and I don't like using biometrics for everything.

My s22 already had the typing accuracy enabled but I don't know if that's because I changed it or not and I need to make sure it's enabled on the flip.

I just switched back to my flip 4 but there were some things in here I played around with on my s22.

just bought an S9 tablet. Thing is a beast.

As to the phone, my s10+ is still going strong. I have no idea when I will feel the need to upgrade my phone.

Yeah, with the free 12gb ram and 256 storage upgrade.

The size is just right for causal viewing.

I was worried the others would be too large and they were over my price rang.
Have you had issues scrolling pages on bgol that have twitter or IG posts embedded?

Nope... The 12 gigs of ram and the processor it uses helps the tablet run very smoothly. Even my S10 plus with 8 gigs of ram would run better than my fire tablet with 4 gigs.

Of course you should ask me again in a few months when I have a million browser tabs open and the storage is damn near full... Lol
