Welcome. And follow me is a Samsung Galaxy A14 and today I'll show you a couple tweaks and the tricks you can do on this phone
0:11
So now starting off, let's open up our settings and from here we're going to navigate to display
0:19
And here we have couple of things like dark mode. So by default you can actually change a dark and light mode throughout the setup of the phone but later on when you go into the settings
0:29
Now when you go into the settings, apart from you being able to switch it, and here you also have this option right here, dark mode
0:34
which will allow you to select it as a schedule. So it will switch between light and dark mode based on either Sunset to Sunrise
0:42
or custom schedule so you can set it to exactly switch at specific hour
0:47
Now moving on to the next option is the full screen display, it should be full screen apps, more precisely
0:54
Now I don't have any apps installed apart from the ones that come, not the device so it's nothing in here but there are some apps that will not use the
1:03
entirety of your display now when you see any kind of app that just cuts out the status
1:10
bar it doesn't show anything in it but it just cuts it out you can go in here and add this app to
1:15
basically be displaying in full screen I'm just gonna maybe demonstrate it quickly
1:20
let me just quickly look for it so one of these apps I know for certain is
1:27
the Steam link. Now I already have it selected so it automatically fills, never mind, it doesn't
1:34
fill the entire screen. So you can see it also cuts it out right here. So I could add such
1:41
an app to it and let me just quickly navigate into the settings So right here it So right here is basically the same thing It shows me a couple ops So I can here I would basically have to I think top right here and look for For some reason doesn give me the app which isn ideal
2:12
Let's see if I can find it. I can't really find it in here
2:28
Now I'm going to look also, because I'm just trying to do this on my phone right here
2:32
I'm going to look in the actual app itself. So it seems like I cannot make this app be full screen
2:51
So I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe just needs an update or whatever, but I don't
2:56
I tested this specific feature on other devices like RealMe and it does work once you can actually add the app
3:03
And what it will do is just kind of ignore that cutout and the screen will be extended obviously to fit full screen
3:10
kind of like YouTube would act. So it's just a nice thing to have, I would say, to use more of your screen when you can
3:19
Now anyway, moving on to the next option, it's going to be the gesture navigation, which you can find also under the display navigation bar
3:26
right over here. And you have these swipe gestures. Enable that and it will remove the buttons from the bottom
3:32
and substitute them for this bar. Now there's also another option to hide this bar completely
3:39
so it's not showing by selecting or turning this option off. So gesture hints
3:46
And as you can see, it removes it. Now, I'll be honest, you might experience some problems
3:52
by doing this because the stupid way, that Samsung did this is not by making it transparent by reducing the opacity of it like a logical manufacturer or just anybody should do No they just decided to completely shift it below off the screen
4:09
In the dumbest possible effing way. Now, I'm mentioning this because it will actually cause you probably some problems later on
4:17
I have encountered this with a third-party launcher. It just starts to work like absolute trash
4:23
So sometimes when you try to swipe up, it won't access the..
4:27
but won't actually use the gesture. So you'll have problems by swiping up
4:32
where, on my case, with a third-party launcher, I sometimes needed to swipe up four times
4:37
Every time it should have worked without a shred of it out
4:42
but it didn't because it shifts it off the screen and for some reason gets stupid dumb
4:46
when you're trying to go home, and it just doesn't recognize the gesture for some stupid reason
4:52
So if you see this kind of problem, if you experience it, he will unfortunately need to reenable the gesture hints
4:59
this will then solve your problem for the most part now this only also applies to like swiping up
5:06
so swipe up and hold and just swipe up the box gestures from either side
5:11
still work flawlessly so that shouldn't be a problem now anyway let's move over to the next
5:17
option which will be the side key now as you probably know if you hold the side key
5:23
by default it will bring this or bring the bixby but you have actually couple options for it
5:31
literally couple as in two so you can top right here if this shows up for you to go to sidekey
5:37
settings but if it's opening up a bixby instead you will just navigate into your settings and from there
5:44
you'd go to advanced features not labs uh side key there we go and you have
5:53
Excuse me? I guess we don have options for it which is a little bit odd So we don have Biggsby here at all Okay So by default you normally have the option to actually let me just kind of showcase this
6:13
So if I hold my button, I'm going to Side Key Settings
6:17
I can see I have press and hold options, which I guess they removed here
6:22
Kind of odd, but okay. Anyway, so my... So the last thing that I'm going to show you would be the motion and gestures
6:33
So it's right below. And here you have a bunch of gestures and motions that you can activate or deactivate
6:39
Some of them will be enabled. So for instance, turn over to mute as enabled
6:43
I think these are all the default settings. So if you want to change some of them, simply toggle them on
6:49
If something fits your preferences. So to go over a couple of them, we have lift to wake
6:56
so when you pick up your phone, it will automatically light up the screen, double top to turn on the screen
7:02
which is usually on most of Samsung's, for some reason here it's off
7:07
and we also have the double top to turn off the screen. Now, I personally don't like it, so I'm just going to keep that off
7:12
And then we have also alert when phone picked up. Ah, so that's actually a neat option
7:23
Never actually looked at this one before. So what it basically does is when you enable it, if you pick up your phone, it will automatically vibrate if you have missed some kind of call or messages
7:33
So basically if you have notification, it will vibrate on pickup. Just a neat little feature
7:40
So there we go. And now with, for instance, these two enable, I can do this and it locks the device
7:47
