Thank YOU! As a grandmother I am so freaking grateful you lads go over this stuff! I almost tossed my Galaxy out the window I was so frustrated, but you made it much easier. Great job!!

[@deusvlad2.083]

I almost caught your galaxy out the window granny lol

[@hijodedios1995]

🤣🤣🤣😭☠️

[@bobbymccoy4756]

I know where you're coming from I smashed mine over my knee one time .lol

[@bobbymccoy4756]

Lol good one

[@bernitajenkins3180]

I accidentally drive off with my A20 on the roof 😬 Now have to deal with a new A13...

[@josephblasingame1430]

You guys really rock, and make dealing with the phone much less a mystery for us mere mortals. Two thumbs up!

[@donotneed2250]

This is what I do whenever I get a new phone or do a factory reset. I've been doing it for years. I've gotten into 'discusstions' with developers over the need for their apps to know my location just to use an equalizer app for my Bluetooth headsets. Just like I disable or uninstall unwanted apps that come on my phones and I don't use them or have a use for them. I also turn on Do Not Disturb and set it to only allow contacts to ring through.

[@VinnieGambino001]

This has been so helpful I called Samsung Best Buy Geek Squad anybody who I thought could help me but no one was able to teach me what you just did thank you very much and keep up the great work

[@annramona9684]

I am not much of a Technical person... I did what you recommended here and my Samsung galaxy phone works efficiently. No more junk... thank you ‼️

[@tobeamiss1]

Thank you. I've been doing most of these things for years but you did alert me to a couple that i didn't know about. Thanks again.

[@tucozy1godnctrl769]

That was very great info. My neighbor was controlling my Bluetooth speakers 🔊 I cut everything off, all the sharing junk. I really appreciate you guys. Keep the people informed and up to date. God bless you. Again thanx buddies. 😊

[@sharontalbot8037]

Holy sheisse! Long ago, our 11 y.o. tapped into the neighbor's wifi to use his Nintendo.

[@jackyxu4388]

thank you, it really helps me a lot to save the battery and protect the privacy.

[@killertruth186]

I am glad that I have searched for this video. Now I can fully enjoy not only just have better battery life overall. Restoring the performance of the device as if it was new.

[@rockyroadgifts]

Thanks for the great tutorial - helps me as I'm a new Samsung galaxy S20 Fe owner - I got 1/2 of these done just about & checked over everything again!

Great information! Really helpful, I am constantly charging! I turned off features you recommend. However, I am 77 yo, and you speak so quickly, I have to frequently pause you and do catch up. Said with love 💖

[@regular-joe]

Hi, you can adjust the video speed on KZbin and play videos faster or slower. I do it regularly!🙂

[@t.s8113]

Wow! you guys are great! Thanks for informing us about apps I didn't know existed.

[@ottawagurl1961]

very helpful information, great to know...thanks guys

[@markdavich5829]

Found your vid while looking for a way to uninstall the data eating Samsung Free bloatware app on my note 20 - Went through your list and made the necessary changes. If anyone is interested: to disable Samsung Free, press and hold a blank area on your home screen until individual windows show. Swipe/scroll through them until you find Samsung Free. At the top and to the right of the Samsung Free window you'll be able to shut Samsung Free off. BOOM

[@rodfroelich5908]

Good stuff

[@whoageez]

o thank you hated Samsung Free you saved me lol

[@sta1nless]

To unistall pre-installed bloatware use adb. It's a command line tool from the Android SDK. There's a couple videos on KZbin that explain how to do it.

[@RobBanx100]

Thank you guys, phone s8+ much faster now. great vid.

[@cherylhoward2988]

Me too

[@niteowl4]

I was ready to turn on settings and turn off settings for the Samsung Galaxy and my LG. Found that I don't have most of these settings. I have S4 and LG Aristo. My phones are years too old for all the fancy new stuff you mention.

[@sjsphotog]

great stuff. Thanks so much. hopefully this will help out with privacy issues and battery life on my Android phone

[@coyoteroadkill]

I have an older phone but still found this very useful. Thank you!

[@joyceflorida7111]

You all great. I didn't grow up with computers, but I sure can do it with ease thanks to you two.

[@davefalls3661]

Hi David and David, this is David. Great video-making changes as you go through them. I notice on my Galaxy S10e that for Bixby and Google, I am not able to turn off location. Do you have any idea why this is? Thx.

[@SarelixR]

I found this channel it's very useful I can follow tutorials to make my samsung save battery life last longer you guys so useful to turn off backgrounds ❤❤

[@paulfozard1684]

Excellent & informative, I learnt a lot :)

[@T-marie-N]

Thank you! Very helpful. Took me about an hour to watch this 9 minute video as I changed settings on three phones and settings were in different locations on them (S22, A23, A03s). Changing settings on each app is for the birds! Thank goodness there aren't many apps on any of these phones.

[@beachgirl9234]

Thank you, this is fantastic knowledge you are sharing. What is One UI Home

[@m4o5m8o3]

One UI Home is the native launcher that Samsung puts on their phones. Its what you look at when you look for example on your home screen or your App Library. It's basically like 3rd party launchers you can download from the Play store, just from Samsung.

[@paulcheetham2119]

Gentleman i have learned more in your video than i even know how to thankyou ,excellent presentation and many thanks ,

[@kpn574]

Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. Do you have a video for spam texts that come through as emails instead of numbers?

[@parsnip82]

Thanks for the easy to understand instructions.

[@dennisrundle295]

Great advice guys thanks a lot have turned off app I don't want, your fast moving video was great, !!!!

Thanks for the updated info. Used pause, settings, back to video, repeat

[@staceerenae40]

Thanks. Several I already denied were actually on! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Azinya]

Thank you for your help. I'm not very techy & don't have someone to help me with my new phone. You both helped me. Thank you. I like that you show the phone & menus on the side. Very helpful.

[@alisonjetmar7437]

Hey thank you for those tips. Some I had already turned off. The funny think is while watching this on my computer I slowed the video speed and the two of you sounded like you had knocked back a few beers which added to the fun of listening this great advice. Juvenile but it made me laugh. Thank you both!

[@danae7054]

Thanks guys....I am 'old', am technologically challenged and my kids (17 and 24) roll their eyes so far back in their heads when I ask for help, that they can see themselves back in nappies! You are life-savers :)

[@rockyroad2143]

Why can't we start demanding these companies not have these platforms on their phones? Will SOME COMPANY please do this....there is a huge market that wants big tech's prying eyes out of their lives.

[@billyandrew]

The app companies pay the manufacturers far more than we ever could. The only option is to vote with your wallet and only buy models not embracing this sharp practice, but not enough folk are tech savvy or think they have nothing to hide, so won't try to change the biased system. Only when it starts to hit the manufacturers' profit margin will things change.

[@largol33t1]

The problem is we LET them do this a LONG time ago. Now they're too big to fail. Did you know they have so much power and control that they can shut you out of the internet completely? Look at Alex Jones. He's been kicked off EVERYthing from KZbin to Fartbook to Twitter because 90-something% of online and data companies are Biden bootlickers who want to shut out anyone who doesn't lick his boots.

[@OkcStarX]

@@billyandrew the nothing to hide part... I got a stalker/hacker(?) Idk definitely someone I didn't want harassing my life, and I assume he came from the wood works of the interweb

[@richardweiler6931]

Keeps the price of the phone way down. There's always a tradeoff. I'll take their presence over paying hundreds more.

[@OkcStarX]

@@richardweiler6931 debatable

[@juanitalancman1597]

Thanks for all your help.....it led me to a spot to uninstall an app that put all kinds of icons on my phone and at some points doubled up on icons ....thanks again

[@devereegreenwood8952]

You guys are adorable; and helped me solve privacy phone issues. 😊 THANKS!

We're glad to help! Thanks for watching! -Zech

[@CharlotteAnnH1]

Very easy to follow. Thank you

[@JW-xj1yf]

Great stuff guys. They have since buried the opt out feature for alerting advertisers of your interests, or they have removed it altogether.

[@lindaknelsen526]

You young Gentleman are Wonderful! I feel like I was forced into Cell Use due to covid & a lot of accesability including ordering my groceries on line! Ugh! I'm a Senior & found you really easy to follow. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Can you PLEASE tell me how to shut off that stupid alarm that wakes me every morning in my calender???? Everytime i think ive done it, it always comes back after a few weeks. Unless I go in day by day I can't shut it off permanently. I only want an alarm oeriodicslly not daily. Please help! Thank you for all the time you put into these videos. You both deserve a medal!

[@billzardus95]

Nice job documenting the 9 shortcuts in the description but next time tell viewers which Android version you are using. I don't think Android 9 has a biometrics menu so you must be using Android 10

Thanks. Very informative. I've been wondering about the comment on the phone when you deny an app and it says "doing this may not allow others apps to..." BUT, Q: if you turn off a location app, will it still locate my phone if stolen? Thanks again.

[@apollobolling644]

Did you ever get an answer?

[@bil9572]

No if "find my phone app" is off no wont find it

[@rocky19811969]

Love these dudes vids..is there a new one I just upgraded from this s20fe to a s23 ultra?

[@melissathompson5536]

You should do a more detailed video about the system apps that do not need permissions and why and what each one is for. I knew all this years ago but many people do not as some system apps do not need the permissions they do. If you enable developer settings half of this can be done under there. If you use a vpn add apks for games or ect I have never had a problem with the install unknown apps. If you have a VPN and correct virus/malware protection then it is not an issue. If you report the ads over and over then ads stop all together. Buy an adblocker if it doesnt work. I am tired of my privacy being invaded so I buy my unlocked and have done all this for years. I have location turned off for all even system apps. I think you should explain to regular folks about system apps and what they are doing with your permissions and why to turn them off. I root my phone as well because even samsung adds bloatware now. After last year that was the last straw for me.

[@sheyleaison705]

I thought it was "illegal" technically to root a phone? oram I misunderstanding something about rooting a phone?

[@lorenrobertson8039]

I had to look up a lot of the apps just to see what they were! Still confused about many of them. At first I was afraid when I tried to turn or disable an app and got that warning that it might mess up my device if I disabled or deleted stuff. What can I say? I'm older and not tech savvy in these times.

[@melissathompson5536]

@@lorenrobertson8039 please do not down yourself honey. I am 45 years old and if I can do it and I've had four strokes in the last 3 years that anybody can do it. I know it's confusing what it says not to turn off the apps because it will mess with the system but trust me it will not. It's just their own security measure that's attached to Knox built in security which is a joke and does nothing to prevent you from getting viruses or malware anything like that when your phone. If I can do it you can do it. Don't let the phone fool you into thinking that just because you disable something that you don't need on there that it's not okay to remove it. Something's you actually need which is why I asked for them to make a complete list for everybody. But I don't use Google except for on here just because it's attached to my Gmail and that's how I login. Otherwise I use a different entire secure email system and browser. My phone is actually more secure and more encrypted then most people's computers. But it was my choice to do that because I was tired of getting thousands of nasty sexual stuff in my emails and getting nasty text messages from people from other countries. All they do is gather your information online and if they send you a text message just forward it before you block it to 7726. If you click on that text message anywhere it will come up with a blank page and it will insert all kinds of stuff into your phone. I've been building my own for years and just got tired of getting all this stuff before then so I'll take a piece of one here in a piece of one there and make my own. One guy on here actually shows how to do it and I can't remember the video but if I can find it I will put it on here for you to see. Androids themselves are not that hard to work on and fix. It's just a matter of patience and fine hand skill. Trust me the phone's not going to shut down or no apps are going to be wonky if you disable the ones you don't want. One of the things I did early on was to purchase the software online so that I could get into the phone and do it all at one time instead of piece by piece. Me and three friends went in and purchased the software and share the cost which was it a lot of money anyway but back then it was a lot when I do not have much. But we shared it all and it all worked out for the best so that's also a good starting point. There are some really good videos on here about that software as well. There's so many different types I would just confuse you honestly if I kept going on about them. IPhones and iPads I can fix but I do not like them at all. I can still jailbreak them which is the term for getting into them and fiddling around and customizing and making it your own. While the term rooting is for Androids. If you need any help just let me know I'll help you through it. You're never too old just remember that. And like I said if my 90 year old brain when I'm 45 can do it that I have 100% confidence you can. It's never an easy thing to be unsure and I have always thrown my pride to the side just to ask for help. That's always been a hard thing for me to do but I've done it. Don't let the phone rule you, you rule the phone.

[@melissathompson5536]

@@sheyleaison705 it's not illegal to do it. All it does is make your warranty invalid but if you're out of warranty then it doesn't matter. Only if that is a concern. It's your phone you bought it you paid for it and you can do whatever you want with it. It's only the warranty like I said. Mine is out of warranty so I don't care. The warranty didn't do anything anyway. That's why I don't even buy the insurance because it's a rip-off. I can show you pictures of how Asurian refurbishes their phones. You would be horrified. Changing battery expiration dates to suit their needs, missing screws and parts, 3 layers of glue over the speakers. It's a travesty really how they fool people.
