Man I love how your channel have evolved over the years. Well done!

Your "OK Google" triggered my assistant and paused the video 😂

thank you dear. nice channel and explanation. also very organic high quality video image. i applied some of these things. i want to run a minimal and organized experience with my phone without crap on it.

[@stumble_backwards]

Without a doubt probably the best Android app channel on KZbin.

[@nupe8888]

Excellent info. Thanks much!

[@LautaroLosio]

It's amazing how you and Sam Beckman are always synchronized on video ideas. The regular top android apps is clearly understandable. But sometimes even random videos like this one are based on the same premise. I'm not accusing anyone, clearly making a video takes time and you are both releasing almost the same day. Do you ever talk to each other? It's weeeird...

[@Pedro_MPM]

Exactly, I always found really awesome how everytime one posts something, the other post something really close to it... I LOVE THAT, it's always like one big video with amazing editing and accuracy

For fold 4 (extra dim) Setting - Accessibility - advanced setting- volume up and down buttons - choose Extra dim

[@MentionedBefore]

I don't understand why anybody would want flash notifications. I would personally never use them because I don't want random people around me to think I'm taking pictures of them and vice versa.

Hey facundo, can you make a video about how to get those top QS tiles? The ones that are circles? I really like them and i'm sure a lot of people do too

[@govind_goyal]

for the device issues network part, in india at least, oneplus phones tend to get no audio on calls. to fix that mobile network> select sim > wifi calling > either change calling preference to mobile calling or turn off wifi calling. took me a long time to figure it out. i have a oneplus 9 with android 13.

[@hanve]

Can any suggest me an app lock? It would be more better if its a foss. Thanks in advance

[@Jo3W3st]

It's amazing how so many people leave these settings on, knowing you can watch a KZbin channel like this and get the sorta privacy you expect

Hey Facundo, I'm not sure if you have already made a video on developer's option. But, in the near future, you would be able to make a video of each things in the developer's option? Some of it seems very interesting to either turn off or turn on depending on the usage!

[@howtomen]

Avi, not only did I make a developer options video but I reviewed every setting found within the Developer Options. It was a painful process but someone had to do it. I think till this day I'm the only one that has made a video reviewing every setting found within the developer options lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJy5aGt9abqLeq8si=RfiCdyG5R6xbGIZP

[@ghostafridi8255]

Is there a way to change the quick settings tiles? You have to swipe from bottom of the screen in my vivo. Sadly I can't get a custom ROM because Vivo phones can't be rooted atleast not mine.

[@BALDO3]

It's incredible how I ended up turning 4 mentioned features on. Every time same story...😅 Definitely one of my favorite yt channel

How do I stop the Voice Access feature by using the voice command? Or I have to use my hands?

[@madmax1412]

Can you please blank/beep out the activation phrase eg at the 1:00 mark. This caused my Google Mini to activate and your command caused it to stop playing KZbin (I was watching it on TV).

[@TheRadDeuce]

Please, is there anyway to record internal audio on Android 9?

[@santosnaosantos]

Olá, desculpa mas a parte do assistente de voz está errado, não sei como você faz. Tudo que eu queria criar é um lembrete, pra me ajudar a lembrar das coisas e o Google não faz, se eu quiser mudar o horário dele, o Google não permite. Teste a siri no Ipad e funcionou perfeitamente, futuramente estou pensando em trocar pra um iPhone.

[@naviofcl]

How did you make this work PiP on my unpremium acc?

[@kklc5477]

If the virtual ram never gets used then wouldn't it never cause those disadvantages mentioned or I misunderstood and it always works? If you somehow hit your the limit of physical ram, the extra virtual ram can be handy on those hard situations. Wear and tear of other parts like battery will be more likely to affect you in some way.

[@howtomen]

Yes it rarely will run when you have lots of RAM but the idea is that in general virtual memory is much slower than your physical RAM. So even when it is being used it's not an efficient activity. It's only really necessary when you're left with no choice cause you have a device with a really low amount of RAM. So why have something enabled when it just doesn't benefit you in the long run if your phone already has lots of RAM?

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Don't need on Ultra

[@xitee6258]

Yes, it will be used, even if your RAM isn't full. I have disabled it on my rooted phone (my Samsung S9+ doesn't have the RAM+ option). Because I have root I could see that it's being used even without full RAM. In Windows and Linux you can also see it. For example, my Windows PC has 32GB of RAM (11GB used) but it has still allocated 22,5GB to the disk. In Linux it's called SWAP (also on Android but they made it "more user friendly" by naming it RAM+). There it will normally not be allocated that much like on windows but still it is being used even if the RAM isn't full. So on your phone, you should definitely disable it unless you are using really RAM intense Apps and *really* need it. On PCs it also has these negative effects. However storage can easily and cheaply be swapped and SSDs are more durable than your phone's eMMC storage. If your phone's storage wears out, you most likely have to buy a new one.

[@BALDO3]

The phone uses a bit of virtual ram even if the physical ram is not 100% full. That's done in order to prevent crashes and instability, it moves the least used programs in the virtual ram

[@r2rker600]

No never do that if you have Piss All instead throw against brick wall... Next get an Ultra

[@BALDO3]

Don't clear cache if you don't really need extra space. It takes weeks to properly build and helps you by optimizing apps launch time and idle drain

[@neiliewheeliebin]
