And for me is a Motorola Moto G-200 and today I'll show you a couple tweaks and tricks you can do on this device
0:14
Now starting off I'm going to begin with a dark mode which can be found under the settings display
0:20
And see it's right over here. Now we have the toggle to turn it on manually on and off
0:27
But we can also tap on a text which will allow us to set it up as a schedule. set it up as a schedule, meaning it can turn on dark mode during the night time and as
0:33
an example during daytime you can have a light mode and it will do it automatically
0:37
which is a really nice feature which I highly recommend utilizing. Now moving on to the next option it is the refresh rate. So we can top on advance in the
0:46
display section and right here we should have somewhere there we go display refresh rate
0:50
and it looks like it's set to a hundred and forty four hertz. Now we also have the
0:55
auto which will be a better option actually. So let's go back to it, which with auto being enabled, it will use 144
1:06
Hertz whenever it can, meaning as an example right here, it's going to utilize 144
1:10
Hertz, but the moment you stop actually scrolling up and down where the image is still
1:14
it will switch to 60. Now this doesn't have any kind of additional fancy technology behind it, so it will only
1:21
drop down to 60 I believe, and it doesn't give you the benefit of preserving body when
1:28
images still Some other devices do it the way that they reduce refresh rate from like 140 to something like 3 Hertz So you getting three frames per second And that drastically would increase battery life and when you not really in the need of high refresh rate
1:47
when you're looking at something that isn't moving like this, then it's a really good way to
1:53
get some battery life. But here it only jumps down to 60. So to finish this off with the
2:00
refresh rate, if you prioritize only on battery life, then you might want to
2:04
stick with 60. If you prefer to have balance of both, some a little bit less battery life
2:11
but still have a really nice smooth experience, go for the auto, which will basically utilize
2:18
both of them at the same time. And there is not really any reason to go for straight up 144 all
2:25
the time. So that's just my take on this. Anyway, moving on to the next option, we have split screen
2:32
which is just an option for you to use two different apps at the same time. When you go to recent applications like so and top on the icon, I will have split screen
2:40
You need to top on it, it obviously opens up the first application that you split screen
2:45
with on the top right here, and then you can open up some kind of other app to split screen with
2:50
Best use scenario for this that I like to use is the YouTube on top and then browser at the bottom
2:58
when you go home it will continue to play YouTube right at the top because it's still
3:03
technically open. Now it will obviously pause it when you lock the device so
3:09
keep that in mind And moving on to the next option it going to be attentive display So what this will do is utilize the front facing camera to check if you looking at the device
3:24
And as long as you are, as long as the device is detecting that you are looking at it
3:28
it won't trigger the countdown for screen timeout. So as an example, if you're reading something and you have timeout on your screen set to like 30 seconds
3:40
as long as the device sees that you're looking at it, it won't start the countdown until
3:44
you for instance put down the device and it can no longer detect your face. So to get this enabled, we're going to navigate to, I believe it was under display
3:56
There we go. Attentive display. So it is under display. And you can select it. As you can see
4:02
it gives you a little animation right here, how it functions though. This animation is kind of crap
4:07
let's be honest. So we can enable it right here. Now obviously it wants access to your camera because it will
4:14
use it to look for your face. So that is something that you don't feel comfortable with
4:21
I guess this option probably isn't for you, but for everybody else that just wants to you realize this
4:27
select that you allow, turn it on and there we go. It is now on. And additionally, what I would
4:34
recommend you to do right now is change the screen timeout to probably something as low as you can
4:38
get. Right now it's set to 30 damn minutes, so might be a little bit excessive
4:44
I can set it to be 15 and after 15 seconds it would normally lack, assuming you're not looking at the device
4:53
Now for me yep it going to time out just because it actually doesn see my face I looking at the monitor that is at the front and the phone is laying flat so it cannot actually see me
5:05
But for basically every kind of use scenario where you actually are looking at the device like this
5:11
it shouldn't put it to sleep. Now I'm uncertain if it actually detects where you if you actually are looking at the device
5:20
or if it's just like if it can see your face so that's something that you need to test out
5:26
Anyway, moving on to the next and also last option, it's going to be gesture navigation
5:32
As you can see I've been using buttons for this entire video and those are fairly outdated
5:36
I do like my gestures, so to enable them, all you need to do is go into the system, then gestures
5:43
there we go, and then system navigation, and you'll find your gesture navigation right over here
5:49
As you can see, it turns out the buttons and subsided it for this bar at the bottom
5:54
which can swipe up to go home, swipe up, and hold to go to recent, and swipe from sides to go back
6:00
There we go. I think the thickness of the glass doesn't actually allow me to get it
6:08
For some reason, it works from the other side. Yeah, I think it's just the fault of the glass itself, although it works fine here
6:16
So yeah. Anyway, this would conclude all the tweaks and the tricks that are on to share, and if you found them helpful, don't forget to hit like, subscribe, and thanks for watching
