Infoom is a Samsung Galaxy J4 Plus and today I'll show you a couple tweaks and tricks that I can do on this device
0:14
And jumping straight to it, we're going to begin with the quick open notification panel
0:18
which basically will allow you to pull the notification panel from anywhere on the screen
0:22
And as an example, before you enable this, when you pull, let's say from the middle, you get the upjure
0:27
Same goes when you pull it down or all the opposite way. all the opposite way, down and up, basically both open the up drawer
0:34
And if you want to pull the notification panel, you actually have to go straight from the top. And because the phone is kind of chunky, it might be sometimes a little bit difficult to pull straight from the top
0:43
So it's always easier if you can just pull it from, let's say, a middle of the screen
0:48
So going to the settings, we're going to come here, navigate into display
0:56
So display. and from here we're going to go into home screen and quick open notification panel is right here
1:12
so once you enable this and go back you can now pull the notification panel basically from
1:19
anywhere on the screen as long as you pull down and yeah it's fairly nice feature
1:27
you're using the phone in one hand. Now moving on, we're going to go into the hide apps option
1:32
which is also basically in the same area where we just enable the quick notification
1:38
And it will just simply allow you to as the name states hide apps So when we go into the display whoops display and then home screen
1:51
I think it's on the bottom, yeah, hide apps. You can from here select apps that you don't want to show
1:59
And I just select something like voice recorder or let's say Samsung Health
2:06
So you can basically hide a couple apps. Let's stop on Apply. and now if I would go here you won't be able to find these apps in the upjore anymore neither on the home screen
2:17
so nice thing if you want to clean up your up drawer to not show redundant apps now moving on we're going to go into the gesture navigations
2:27
which is supported on this device so it will remove the buttons on the bottom and just make you allow you to swipe up
2:34
and the gestures to basically navigate through the device. And opening it up, the settings will go back into the settings
2:43
And from here, I'm going to go into the display again. And at the bottom, almost you will see navigation bar
2:53
To go here, you'll have two options. You can also flip the buttons
2:57
It also works with the gestures. So if I turn this on, you will see that disappear
3:03
and you have these tiny little bars. And what you do now, they basically act the same way as the buttons
3:08
but instead of tapping on them somewhere on the screen, you just pull them from the bottom. So if I want to go back, I would just do this
3:15
Now the middle is the home, and if you hold it, it opens Google and the other one is just the recent ones as you can see But the phone is kind of working slowly Okay and like I said you can also flip them So if we go back to the settings can then switch it up
3:35
And now this will be the recent. And this one will be back
3:42
Now I'm gonna actually go back to the normal buttons. It's easier for me while recording
3:47
to have physical buttons in a way. So moving on, going to go into the app shortcuts and what this means is when you lock the device
3:57
you have these two apps right here have the phone and camera and you can actually
4:03
change them up so going back to the main settings page let's go into the lock screen
4:11
right here and from here we should find the up shortcuts Up shortcuts and you have left shortcut and right shortcut so you can top on it and then select a different app that you desire to have from there
4:32
so you could let's say have YouTube like this and now if I like the device
4:40
I can launch YouTube immediately so it's a kind of neat trick and now I don't want to update just leave this
4:53
And the last thing I want to show you is the more of a security thing
4:58
And I think I already have the SD card in here. I guess we'll see
5:03
But basically what it allows you to do is encrypt the SD card that is in the device So if someone will take your SD card and plug it into their device they won be able to read anything that is on it And to do it we would go into the settings then biometrics
5:20
and security. So right here. And then encrypt SD card. You have a message that will tell you
5:30
and if you don't have an SD card, you won't actually see the message. So yeah, I have an
5:34
SD card and as you can see it will tell you that it will encrypt the device also tells you to have
5:39
before you start to have basically fully charged battery and to plug it in and it might take an hour or so
5:45
and basically another warning message is that if you do a hard reset of the device itself and not
5:53
basically decrypt the SD card you won't be able to access it after the reset of the device
6:00
because it will basically be encrypted by this specific version of your software in a way
6:09
I'm not sure how to explain it, but basically whatever you're using right now
6:13
if you perform a hard reset, it also resets the encryption and thus won't be able to decrypt the SIM card
6:20
So you'd have to basically format it and re-encrypted if you wanted
6:25
But you can always, before the hard reset of the device, you can always decrypt it and then re-encrypt
6:30
after the reset of the device. So keep that in mind. And yeah, that's more of a security thing
6:37
And I would basically finish up this top tricks. And if you found any of them helpful
