If may I do a suggestion, turn on "do not disturb" at night is better than set all volumes down. I'm based on fact that you could receive an urgent calling from your parents or child, for example.
For same reason I never put my phone on DND, a phone is supposed to receive calls and important calls should not be missed thats why i have added all apps notification as "silent" and apps like WhatsApp to focus mode so I don't receive msgs over WhatsApp and calls can be received
I also utilize a Bluetooth routine. When I connect to my speakers, it automatically activates Dolby Atmos, adjusts the volume, and opens Spotify for me.
The problem with this is that it looks for a satellite every time you launch the application? Whereas if you let the smartphone do it, it will take the gps data previously taken.
One clever hack I got from other videos is for the Protect battery. Just create a routine where, if battery level is more than or equal to 99% and charging status is charging, then turn on protect battery. The battery will stop charging at 99%. That way you don't have to ever worry about missing that 15% charge when you normally use the protect battery option.
When my phone connects to car by bluetooth it automatically creates hotspot for car. My navigation then uses online traffic information and chooses besf route for me. Very useful for everyday commuting to school, work, not only for big rides. I have been using this for more than 3 years and cant think of driving a car without it
The WIFI routine doesn't seem to like me as the phone still locks even with the phone 2 foot from my router. Smart lock does work, sometimes. I have a strong WIFI as I can walk outside to the curb and it's still connected. The RSSI is 31dbm.
Great video - thank you! And when you see to what extent a Samsung can be tailored to a person's very own needs, you've got to wonder why people buy IPhones. I think Routines and al' it can facilitate are less communicated benefits.
Is there a routine to mark notifications as read? For instance, I have a routine that auto reads my incoming messages when Autoplay is emabled. However, it will read the same notification again when another notfication from the same app comes in.
I wonder if there is any option to reorganize the home screen according to the mode. For example, in Work Mode, show the widgets and apps I chose on the home screen. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this on the Galaxy?
How does routine activate manually? It says it can be activated when you tap syart button but it turns screen off. What is a start button, side button or the button square on the screen? It just doesnt work
Thats a great idea because sometimes you can think the Bluetooth is on but its not and now everyone hear your music 😅. With this routine it wont happen
@@MoundNit's actually beneficial to put apps in light theme and generally just reading back text on white/light backgrounds during the day, you can look it up :) As far as I remember it increases readability
One more routine for battery saving turn on battery saver when connect to android auto beacause as from android auto battery drains also because charging is trash in aa.
Hello! Do you think you could help me set up Mode And Routines to turn on/off Chrome browser sync at certain set times? I can't seem to be able to do it. Thanks
Is there a way to apply two conditions simultaneously? For instance, I have a sleep routine set from 23:00 to 07:00. However, I would like to add another condition where it only triggers if I am at home or a specific location. Currently, the routine activates as soon as I arrive home, regardless of the time. The issue is that if I am traveling during my sleep hours, I do not want the routine to be triggered. Have you experimented with something like this? Thank you!
For the gym routine, does it turn off automatically? i found when i created a routine based on a place, it turns on when i arrive at the location but doesn't turn off when i leave
Hey, I tried to create a routine that turns on NFC whenever I open GooglePay and to turn off when I close this app. Unfortunately it's not working. I'm using the galaxy s23 ultra. Could you please check if it also doesn't work for you? Thanks
I have the same issue, however the routine still works with Samsung Pay and Curve. It worked originally with Google Wallet but for some unknown reason it stopped working. I posted the problem on the help section for Google Wallet. Please do the same (under "feedback" in the Google Wallet/Pay app.
Is this doable? Running a S21. Recent (12/22) update impacted the edge panel function. I have talked at length with Samsung techs, but it is a Google app, one of the bloat ware that comes with the phone. It is one of the more useful for me. Seems like I'll have to wait for the next patch to be issued. Can someone that is Samsung settings savvy, tell me how to write a routine is settings that creates a button on the Home screen that, with one click, it opens Settings, then Display, then turns off then back on Edge Panel. Something I can click one my edge panel gets reset, that us, made available to use it. If I click SETTINGS>DISPLAY > Toggle OFF > Toggle ON, the Edge Panel reappears. Then, when I execute an app from the Edge Panel, like open FB, UA-cam TV, MAIL, Edge Panel disappears. Going through the routine layed out above.I discover Edge Panel is still toggled on, but doesn't display until I turn it off and then back on. TIA should you write a routine I can implement.😊
Great video packed with tons of great detail. Still, I am stumped as to how to build a "routine" or "macro" to do a few thigs with one touch. I want to disable microphone, disable camera, and turn screen to always on all in one click. Is it possible?
Look into nfc stickers.If you use specific routines at specific places like your desk or so ,then you can probably setup at routine to enable by tappig an nfc sticker
Hello sir , how to add routine when the phone is charging and it reaches 100% the phone to play a melody untill i turn it off , s o i know the phone is 100% charged !
It's better to make the phone stop charging when reaching 100 %. In If section ( Charging status on + battery level to 100 ) in Then section ( battery protection on )
Depends on the routine itself. If for example you have one based on location then it will constantly poll your location to check against the place you set as the trigger point. For more basic routines like sensors on/off, time of day, etc. there is close to no battery loss.
You can set a routine that whenever the wifi power goes at 1 bar the phone will switch to mobile data, but I think that you should create a second routine base on location which activates wifi when you come back home. Idk if those functions can be implemented in just one routine tbh
If I understand your question correctly, in my case, I have my home wifi put as always on (autoconnect) and so is my data. so when home, it autoconnects to wifi. once I leave home and couldn't detect home wifi, the data takes over.
The second one seems clever, but most likely if you’re in a coffee shop or wherever, you’re likely no longer connected to your car’s Bluetooth ,so WiFi protect won’t be on.
mode and routine not flexible enough example one cannot set up thing like turning off bluetooth when wireless earphones is taken out from ear or back in earphones charging case and automatically turning off bluetooth when not connected to any bluetooth device.
This is why most people use Iphones! The customization is WAY beyond most people and prefer the clunky simple interface! Many people have NO desire or the know how to live in the Android world and just want to use apps in their simplest forms and have Apple track their ever move and how much apps are used. At least with Google you can turn off MANY tracking features that are beyond most Apple users and they are oblivious and do not care!
You're wrong. Apple will literally ask you the first time you launch an app if you want the app to be able to track your activity. Android does not do that. Apple also has shortcuts which is similar to routines.
@@DG_TX ; OK you think Apple and Google don't track things simply because you said "don't track" LOL! I got some swamp land I wanna sell you! Apple and Google MAKE THEIR MONEY by tracking and app usage habits and there NO way around it! You think Apple ain't making MONEY by tracking and selling that information? Really?? They BOTH do this and just READ their user statements you agree to to use either brand! I'm NOT saying one brand is better than the other as they BOTH track you and is a matter of preference to the end user.
Apple does have something similar called "Shortcuts". I used it when I had an iPhone. I switched to Samsung after a few weeks, Android is so much more flexible!!!
I don't have routines so this doesn't work for me. I just want what my old phone did, have a battery saver with darkend screen with limited apps but phone usage.
If may I do a suggestion, turn on "do not disturb" at night is better than set all volumes down. I'm based on fact that you could receive an urgent calling from your parents or child, for example.
Or, if you have cameras and need to receive alerts!
This is what I keep. my DND settings have exceptions to receive calls from family or repeat callers. More sensible this way.
Just updated. Great ide
For same reason I never put my phone on DND, a phone is supposed to receive calls and important calls should not be missed thats why i have added all apps notification as "silent" and apps like WhatsApp to focus mode so I don't receive msgs over WhatsApp and calls can be received

Sorry I’m a bit of a noob with all this. But how will this still protect the battery?
@@fakhrielbaz327I dont get it. If it's on it won't go pst 85 anyway right? What's the point of turning it on at 99%?
Cool hack. But once it's turned on, the next time you plug it in to charge it won't pass 85%.
@@fakhrielbaz327ever? You're the type of person who lies daily
Thanks for this breakdown ❤️❤️❤️
I have an additional tip to the auto battery saving mode. My routine includes turning the display resolution to the 720p option.
How did you do this?
@@robingoyal8675a few Samsung phones, mainly the ones the offer resolutions above 1080p let you adjust it down to 720
Won't save any battery since the entire screen still has to be powered on. There are multiple videos on this. Look them up.
it does save battery lmao@@Nessal83
That doesnt save battery tho it makes it worse
9:51 I recommend to add with that screen resolution and select HD+
Routine configurations are very helpful. How about the battery consumption while running these routines tasks in back ground.
Nice, but in the youtube and netflix routine i add 60hz refreshrate to save on power, because you dont really need 120
But the fps are adaptable, in the ultra goes from 1 to 120hz, if netflix streams at 30hz, that is what the screen will show you
@@TarekGVE1ome phones dont have the adaptive refresh rate its either 60 hz or 120 hz like mine. i also use this methode

Delay "turn on NFC" by some seconds. Add an action from advanced options called "wait before next action" then add "turn on NFC".
