Great video! But I do have 1 question... How do you do the Bixby driving routine to turn off Wi-Fi when driving and to turn on when home? I tried and I can't find driving anywhere with Wi-Fi 🤔🤔🤔 My carrier by the way is Verizon, if that helps any. Thank you in advance UA-cam Tech Guy!
Okay I have a question for you the last setting that you showed for messages I followed everything else that you showed but I couldn't find that chat settings on my phone how do I do that exactly if you don't mind telling me please thanks
Loved your video! I know you're explaining whats right in front of us but you explain everything in such detail that we understand what it does or doesn't do better. Much appreciated!
Check this out! Bixby can scale your screen zoom level. Screen zoom can actually go between 4 different levels. 1 is the most zoomed out, 4 is super zoomed in. The Toggle in settings can only switch to level 2 for zoomed out and level 3 for zoomed in. Try saying “Hi Bixby. Set the screen zoom to level 1.”
*Good Lock* one of *the* main reasons I _love_ Samsung phones! I don't know why dumb ATT doesn't let you turn off 5G (or at least I can't find a setting). I love the Good Lock Navigation module. I don't use gestures so I added an extra icon for screenshots and put my own custom icons as my NavBar. This is a feature I never want to lose!
Mine didn't either, but after I got the Android 12 Beta, I now can. I'm not on AT&T tho... but the option wasn't there before and now it is. Maybe check Bixby Routines too. I made a routine to turn 5G off when its folded closed. Under Connections ->Network Mode.
FYI: When I turn Screen Zoom to the lowest setting in Screen Layout and Zoom there are certain apps (Samsung mail for one) they no longer do a spit screen, only the email list shows with no option to have the emails on the left screen and the preview on the right. Switching zoom up restores the split screen layout.
Great video. I want to add one thing if you're using the Samsung case that's included in some orders, go settings\advanced features\accessories and you can turn off the front screen powering up with front screen flap lifting if in bag etc. Front cover loose and constantly turning screen on 👍👍👍
Ricky, how did you get the side bar to be transparant? Did you change it yourself ? Because i can't find any settings to do so, or did you use good lock to do so, and if so, how? Because mine stays opague (or however) it's a dark gray, sometimes animations will shine through but my wallpaper doesn't. The little app drawer that comes with the sidebar is transparant though... I'm lost... I'd like to pin it but it's just ugly this way
Amazing, amazing video. Thank you. Question: after One UI 4.1.1 update the" pin your favorite apps" option in Edge Panel, that i loved like you isn't there anymore. Any suggestion on how to use it again?
Hey Ricky! I noticed I can't send a video, song, or more than 3 pix at a time through sms or mm anymore. Say's file to large. Do I need to change something in settings in sms settings?
Hi Ricky. How do you make calls from the Tab S8 Ultra using a tether mobile hot spot from my Fold3? It keeps telling me to be on the same network as my phone and I thought I was. Or is it wifi calling only? Can you show in a video. Thank's ✌️
Great video! I'm loving my new Fold 3. I'm unclear about your preference for Cover Screen Mirroring, though. It sounds like the narration says you prefer it "on," but the video image of your phone shows it "off."
I think since it's a much smaller screen I have set it up as a one handed device where I can for example unarme my home security, launch UA-cam music etc...The bigger screen is setup as entertainment one with UA-cam, Netflix, drawing apps and more at the bottom.
Is there a setting that let's you save and name each setting profile so where we could select a setting called low power mode (I know about power saving mode) and it selects all these custom settings and then a setting called something like beast mode where everything is set high with high brightness etc and 120hz etc!?
You can do that in Bixby Routines. I have a game/ movie mode that changes my screen refresh rate from 60hz to 120hz. When I stop gaming or stop watching a video it will go back to 60hz. Saves on my battery that way.
Hi UA-cam tech guy. I just wanted to know ... if I have my Instagram in my secure folder how can I make it full screen. I tried labs ,but it didn't work please help me.
Hi thanks for the video, the split screen section only shows me my WhatsApp, is this normal? I can see a search above but when I search for other apps I don't get a rssult.
I have to say the reason Samsung doesn't default continue to cover is because most users want the phone to turn off when they close it. My use case is watching something or reading some then close the phone and pocket it. There are a very few apps I want to continue to the cover screen when I close the phone.
Samsung definitely agrees with sneaky linking with that secure folder and private sharing. (O know people also use it for encrypted documents and business confidentiality files etc just making a joke lol)
I love these videos Ricky!, I just want to mention that when you talked about the Show Locked Down Option there is a very specific reason for having that on here. In the United States police can force you to give up fingerprints and face unlock, etc. they can force you to unlocked your phone, even without anything to hide, this is a huge invasion of privacy. 1 cop forced a women to unlock her phone with a fingerprint and he went through her phone and sent himself her nudes! They don't always need warrents depending on your state and so adding the lock down option means you touch that button as soon as you get pulled over or are harassed by a police officer and it will immediately turn off the ability for someone to force you to use your Fingerprint or other way of unlocking the phone. Since the general consensus in court is that police cannot force you to unlock your phone with a password but they can force you to use fingerprints et cetera. If they want your password, they usually need a Warrant. Sometimes an ounce of prevention is worth well more than a pound of cure.
When I add an app or make a change a grey box appears at the bottom of the screen. It often covers a selection I need to make to continue. This box can stay on the screen for a minute or two. How can you shorten the amount of time? I only need to see, "an app has been added to the home screen" for a second or two.
currently using protect battery functionality now - 85% lasting me whole day and usually finish between 20 - 35% (bare in mind - that is my usage pattern - basic apps like whatsapp, youtube, internet browsing etc). Considering what this phone is doing - its really incredible especially compared to my one plus 6t which is over 2+ yrs old now...glad samsung phone software is much nicer to use now as well!
Just ordered mine in Ukraine and was suppose to get it today sad news is it got damaged in shipping so they said Oct 19th for black but silver I can get next day so I got the silver
Liked this video but overstating the security of secured folder isn't a good idea as every computer thing can be hacked, it is just a matter of time and resources.
Download Samsung Band Selection. Within app choose More Network Settings. Tap Verizon, advanced at the bottom, Preferred Network Type change to LTE. This setting is defaulted to 5G preferred.
Followed all your steps with hopes that I can get more than 5 hours of battery life. My 2 year old note 10+ gets better battery life than my fold 3. Super bummed I cant make it through a day on this phone.
Turn off voice assistants like bixby and google. Then maximize bixby routines. If ur not at home, set the routines where it will automatically turn on power saving.
good tips bro i love them and it is legit , following these since note 9 , but your phone battery went from 81 to 63 in 35 Min !! 18% is very high and this is what make me on the fence of buying this phone can you please tell me the average SOT you have
I noticed the same thing about his battery percentage lol. Pretty sure it's just the phone, despite all these battery saving tips and others it will still die quickly sadly. Accubattery showed mine with 5 hrs SOT estimated from 100%. Not to mention a mAh of only 3720 on my battery for some reason. Either way I still love the phone and am personally willing to put up with it for that big display
@@krisk3363 this is the problem a lot people saying 7sot and a lot says 5 and below there is something wrong, it not just the usage i personally think it is some units have smaller battery than the others
Sending mine back because it would be on 18 percent after an 8 hour work shift. My s20 ultra would be on 40 within that same time. Loved everything about the phone but the battery made it a no go for me
Has anyone found a way to turn off 5G for AT&T Galaxy Z Fold 3? It isn't avaliable in my area so I'd much rather save battery P.s. it isn't an option under "mobile networks"
Just a clarification.. you said the side panel has 3rd party apps.. Im pretty sure Samsung took away access to the 3rd party store in the Fold 3. I know i have access with my S10 but I dont with my Fold 3.
Still unable to change notification tones for each app, even talked with Samsung tutor and they were unable to figure it out, quite frustrating particularly when it was so easy on my Note 8.
Looking for that link, you said you'd put at the bottom of your video, re: "Good Luck". I don't see it. But, I'm not cripple. I'll look it up. And, I'll have to look up "Dex", also. Just because you don't like it, you never explained what "Dex" is, or does.
@@23Guitardood Thanks so much. Yeah. That was 4 months ago. I'd just gotten my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, and I knew nothing back then. I had everything to learn.
@Nicholas Rotondo Been fantastic, but you MUST get a good case for it, immediately. There's plenty of glass surfaces to protect. And, do utilize the battery saving features. The phone still functions fully, and for much longer. Enjoy?
I just got this phone and i love it but i hate the battery life. look at his phone it went from 81% to 63% lmao i have to charge this thing 3 times a day
I apologize for the focusing issues, this was the first day with a new camera and didn't change every setting I should have.

Quite possibly the best explanatory and detailed video!! Glad i found you!!

This video is soo detailed and it provides soo much value, enhances fold 3 experience amazingly. Thank you for your effort
wow, will have to bring my new phone right here to my PC, and then set it up with your help- very well done
I really really appreciate this!!!!

Thanks for the tips but please consider manual focus, the continual blurry phone was irritating
I had to stop 6 minutes into the video because the auto focus was way too annoying.
Is there a way to DOUBLE LIKE a video?? I've never come across a more useful video!! Thank you sooo sooo much!!!
This was a great video well done!!
What a wealth of knowledge. Thanks
Love my Samsung Galaxy Z FOLD 3!!

The app called samsung band selection allows you to switch from 5g to lte 4g or specifically select bands on att carrier.
Amazing, amazing video. Thank you. Question: after One UI 4.1.1 update the" pin your favorite apps" option in Edge Panel, that i loved like you isn't there anymore. Any suggestion on how to use it again?
Also can you change the opacity of the Dock side bay thing so it is a little more hidden?
Hey Ricky! I noticed I can't send a video, song, or more than 3 pix at a time through sms or mm anymore. Say's file to large. Do I need to change something in settings in sms settings?
Excellent video
Great vid...
Another informative video
Can't wait to see if any different tips come in for the Z Fold 4 coming this week.
In this video, I kept track of your phone battery and saw that it takes around 16% in 1 hour.
Never knew about deepsleep apps. Thanks.
Geesh the auto focus settings is crazy trippy
Where is the Enhanced Processing feature in settings? I'm trying to create a Bixby Routine to toggle it on & off for certain apps. Thanks!
Congrats!

Watching from Thom browne Z fold 3
Ricky, I still have the fire pit video you shared with me at the Samsung store!👍

This video really helped. Just got my fold3 the other day
Doesn’t the lab feature on the fold 3 do the same stuff that good lock does?
Some things but not everything
Not sure if someone mentioned it, but probably lock focus or use manual focus. Your camera kept trying to focus on your hand in some instances.
What weather widget is that? I can't put the time on top of weather
Where did you get that wallpaper from
Cool...
Hi UA-cam tech guy. I just wanted to know ... if I have my Instagram in my secure folder how can I make it full screen. I tried labs ,but it didn't work please help me.

Ricky, I sure wish you could get the blurry screen figured out. It's happening throughout the whole video.
It’s the auto focus
@@socialdebonair5482 It may be, but it makes a "how to" video useless if you can't see the screen clearly.
I don't have chat settings on my fold. I did buy the unlocked phone. Should that matter?
Samsung definitely agrees with sneaky linking with that secure folder and private sharing. (O know people also use it for encrypted documents and business confidentiality files etc just making a joke lol)
What case is that?
Could put on spangled please

Figured it out! goto -> settings -> accessibility -> advanced settings -> time to take action ->
💯🧢 Adaptive does not cost you 30 minutes! I have tested this on every 120 hertz display Samsung has. At most 10 minutes. Again I have tested this
It did save me atleast 30 min on my device z fold 3
I think it would depend on what you are doing. For example if you are scrolling alot it probably won't make much of a difference
My fold doesn’t have the enhanced processing feature. Why?

A "basic deep dive" into GoodLock? 😂
