How To Activate BEAST MODE on Galaxy S9? In this video we discuss tips on how to keep the Samsung Galaxy S9 running super quick like a beast :)

[@jaideepak2298]

Nick Ackerman great piece of technology crafted perfectly by Samsung which can be the only competitor for iPhone X

NICE video

Sure is an amazing piece indeed!

Buying an S9 and putting the screen resolution on FHD+ is like buying a car with leather seats and putting plastic bags over them

[@spartan8390]

Very few things are made above 1080. Outside of some photos, a handful of videos, nothing is beyond 1080 yet. It’s coming, but we aren’t there yet. Plus it’s not really noticeable outside a tv or laptop. Even with that, frame rates come into play. 1080 at 30fps looks like trash on anything outside of a phone. 1080 at 120fps is like looking out a window on anything. A great example of 1080 perfection is a documentary called “100 Days Of Solitude.” Watch that and tell me it’s not like you are there, 1080 or not.

[@Zareldo]

@@spartan8390 The difference between 1440P and 1080P is noticable to me, especially now that I am used to it. It depends on the screensize of course. But if you don't use the best feature of a phone you really should not get that phone

[@willwunsche6940]

@@spartan8390 I loved the 1440p 5.3 inch screen on my LG G5 it's the main thing that kept me from upgrading until the S9. Lots of other phone's screens just looked bad in terms of resolution and I never watched a video in 1080p if I had the option for 1440p to much of a difference. I guess I just have young nearsighted eyes

[@robersniper]

whats noticeable its the battery drain

[@Zareldo]

I think if I paid 700 for a phone it should be beast already.

[@madweather1865]

Its already a beast like it has the best chipset,camera,design,display and even the newest smartphone ram

[@jezreelphil8437]

boogie56ace it is already the title should be ULTRA BEAST MODE

[@micahsackey8680]

That's such an inscrutably small "issue" why even comment it? You can turn it on if you want, it's easy as hell, and you don't even know all the reasons for the automatic setup.

[@JetFeng]

you pay millions for a super sports car and you still need to change it's motor oil.

[@kemalkeza6795]

even the best cars need a tune to unlock their potential, nothing comes out of the factory running at its peak

[@dking3939]

The first one with the animations helped me out a lot. I never though it would help, but now my phone is running so fast. Thank you!

[@chrissheafer]

So pay 800 bucks for your phone and turn off everything you paid for. Genius.

[@enzee1245]

lol bruh

[@jamesrichardson8379]

Only thing he turned down was the resolution.

[@dcarm22]

Chris Sheafer lmao

[@gorgen23]

Chris Sheafer geez turning off so much!!😂😂😂

[@shakengandulf]

Turns off some useless stuff that improve usage, doesnt effect what he paid. U complain. Genius.

[@EvidentGames]

When I read BEAST MODE I though maybe you would talk about the S9's overclocking performance mode, but instead you gave the same exact generic battery saving tutorial that has been made for every android phone ever... Disappointing...

[@mikmik6660]

Absolutely, I laugh when I hear that changing animation speed makes the phone more powerful lol

[@TheBooker66]

Yeah. Sooo clickbait

[@_miyu]

For Number 8 about the SD card, you dont have to use a samsung brand card. But you need to make sure you have a "class 10" rated card. He said, blah blah "check that you dont get fakes" but he said nothing about the class. Class 10 are the speed rating and any brand that offers the correct speed is good enough. So for revision, Check that you get a Class 10 rated card, brand doesnt have any effect.

[@BDTech9]

You don't have to turn off one handed mode, just make it so that it activates from a gesture and not triple press.

[@tesstrewin868]

THANK YOU Nick your video is the best and easiest to follow. I followed the advise and my phones awesome!

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Thanks for the info.Greatly appreciated.Sometimes the "quick camera"function doesn't always operate.

[@mikesmelon5714]

@Nick Ackerman I have Norton installed in my S9 but when I "optimize" the performance it only reaches 90% bc it wants me to install McAfee. Am I operating with essentially no fire wall bc I am relying on Norton? Please give me an assist on this as I love Galaxy phones but McAfee is not something I am gonna pay for after purchasing Norton the past 5 years on past Galaxy. Your thoughts?

[@mikelong609]

PLEASE HELP! My S5 when ON A CALL I would see the photo take up at least half the screen. Now when on a call the caller id image is only a little circle. How can I change the image to larger caller id when ON A CALL?

To get developer on Apple you must pay a certain amount of money, while on Android you just have to click a tab a certain amount of times. O_O😂😂

[@isseihyoudou4872]

You have to pay to get developer options?? Lol actually??

[@legiongamers99]

Austin Moon No. You dont have to pay for developer options. Just need to pay $100 to get your apps onto to appstore.

[@isseihyoudou4872]

Ole The Viking whats the point of getting your apps into the app store?

[@wesleyandrews6422]

Thanks for the tips, it was really helpful =]

[@cybervaldez]

OMG great advices! I even forced some of my bluetooth audio quality in developer settings

[@troy9108]

It's absolutely pointless to clear memory in Android. Unused memory is wasted memory. Don't clear your RAM! It does no good. Android is optimized to do it for you. Leave it alone

[@Don.of.]

Agreed. I may go within maintnence manager to clear some apps, but other than that, I rarely clear anything

[@Eraknelo]

I understand what you're saying, and generally I'd agree, but if your RAM is nearly or fully full, it'll start swapping to the storage, which will in fact slow down your phone. Android is good at optimizing RAM usage, but it's not perfect. Sometimes there will be some apps you rarely use still lingering in the RAM.

[@Don.of.]

And thats where the built-in application called device management comes in. it scans and allows you to clear apps that are running in the background that are not needed. Similar to manual optimization. I do this and have never had an issue.

[@SilverAura]

No it doesn't. Phones only use power when they're actually doing stuff in the background and apps are limited on what they're allowed to do when they're asleep. It takes no more power to keep apps in memory than it does to keep memory empty. However loading data into memory DOES use power, so when you clear your memory - which to be clear, isn't draining your battery, you're forcing apps that would have otherwise opened immediately, to now waste battery to load them back into memory. In short: Clearing your memory frequently will actually hurt your battery life more than help it.

[@R0ndras]

You dont understand how RAM works.

[@KrimskyPartizan.]

Very useful video. Thank you 🤝

[@katesmith1067]

Thanks, Nick......you're a speedy beast. Found your video very helpful to a new S9 owner.

[@suttinceidarconsultinggrou7077]

I have watched two videos that you did on the 9 and the Note 9, thank you. It's awesome. I do have one question though, when deleting cache, the deleted cache is automatically there when you leave the app. Why is this?

[@6058jeremysmith]

Thanks Nick very helpful video ....

[@PGSharpe]

Thank you! Awesome tips!

[@davidd_4105]

You really helped me, my phone is fast! By the way awesome video👍

[@giomarsantiago6251]

If you choose the gesture instead of pressing the button on one handed mode, it will not slow down going back home. I tried it and it feels just as fast as if one handed mode was off. Just wanted to point that out. Great video as always man!

[@swaterman08]

These are good tips for back in 2013, current phones shouldn't have these problems

[@mildgod5353]

The video is pointless. The s9 is a already a beast out the box imo. My favorite phone so far.

[@michaelrogoski1105]

can we change the background on our WhatsApp & Messenger 'video calls' one our Samsung S9 using a picture week have taken? if so, could you tell me how to do this. I'm not talking about creating a wallpaper for the chat section; but, a wallpaper for video calls using any picture we want. thx

[@mayqueen0069]

My Samsung 9s doesn't have a device maintenance on the edge is it somewhere else only have device maintenance in phone settings

[@vaishaldeva7246]

It was really helpful for me with my android phone

[@davidgallacher8830]

Thanks much David appreciate your response!!

[@Lis5520]

Hi Nick, thanks for your helpful videos on galaxy s9, I have a question, when I put my phone on speaker when talking, the screen goes black, any help? Thanks

[@FaisalFaraji]

You did this thing with the S7 edge.

[@pa-pyro2804]

I did a few of these things and it works great my phone is way faster thanks

[@sattaurnikki]

Thank you so much for your tips.

[@bilquinc3]

I think i lost the edge maintenance feature with the latest update. How do i get it back?

[@deejay5493]

A NOTE here for the tip at 1:00... I normally disable all three scales, but If using Edge-Lighting notification (via phone or 3rd. party apps) be sure NOT TO DISABLE ''Animation Duration Scale'. Disabling it will also disable edge-lighting. Keep it on .5x instead. I learnt that by trial-and-error. :-)

[@drewames254]

Wow this made my s9+ much faster ! Thanks 😁

[@gyovannirobson]

Video perfeito. Algumas dicas já conhecia, mas a maioria é novidade pra mim. É um celular maravilhoso, estou adorando ele, mesmo sendo usado.

[@stevewho1043]

Some great tips Nick and valid for most Android devices. I use a lot of these myself in my Mobiwire Tala phone ✋😀✌

[@iiNArY_Frdm]

What do think it means if you followed the steps to open developer mode, but there are no more options that show up?

[@clutchSoda]

I liked the video just because of the one handed mode tip. Didn't knew that

[@joeljackson5377]

Any developer option to disable skin smoothing by the rear camera?

[@Certifier]

Samsung thought of all the tiny things they would have to cut down on when they implemented these different features and decided that it was well worth it to do so. Turning off all these new and cool features you won't get on any other phone isn't exactly what I paid $800 for, even if it means that I'd have to deal with truly miniscule performance downgrade. Personally, I think Samsung knows what they're doing, and they put enough power and shit into their industry-leading phones that I think that your S9 will still be faster and cooler than 99% of the phones out there. TL;DR: "Beast Mode" more like "Least Mode."

[@edmundperez4639]

how can I use the default messaging app with my fossil smart watch? Am I doing something wrong? it wont communicate with my watch, had to download the Google messaging app, does not have the same features...please advise

Doesn't this phone allow you to disable background usage of any app you want, meaning you don't have to worry about losing resources and can install whatever you want from the Play store?

Could you link to websites that have the proper Samsung sd card? Thanks for the help!

[@rustybeatty6567]

I did this on a Samsung prepaid phone the latest one I changed the minimum width in developer options menu from 360 dp to 720 dp this made it look better and and now it’s working more like a tablet device than a smartphone.

Nick you can just hold down the Bixby button and tell her to get in any setting you want so easy and convenient no search nessary no other phone doe's that give Bixby a try I would suggest turning off the Bixby home a and button but otherwise give it a try great video tho👍

[@G0ddammitB0bBy69]

John Andrrson I love using Bixby :). I use her everyday!

yes, I disabled the Bixby home screen, like the video said. But that does not disable Bixby. I still can press the button on left to access Bixby. If you've ever seen the movie "Her", you know my situation. :-)

Or just remap bixby to do whatever you want. Single press- home Single hold - screen shot Double press- flashlight Double hold- toggle immersive Walah instant awesome. You can go further and remap volume to be back and recent and you can have 100% screen. Yaaaay

What's the point in having an 800$ octa-core device if you run it on the most minimal settings possible?

[@soundgardener4940]

(1) _'Most minimal settings possible'_ is an awkward say of saying _'minimal options enabled.'_ (2) Following all of the recommendations in the video would not result in anything close to a 'most minimal' configuration. (3) User-configurable settings / options enable users to tailor the phone based on their individual use case(s), preferences, and so on: security, privacy, UI/accessibility, hardware settings, and on and on. (4) OEM bloat has been an endemic problem in end-user computing since well before the turn of the century; smartphones are no exception to the rule, and Samsung has long had a reputation for needlessly / questionably degrading hardware performance with their customized UI. (5) What's the point in having a powerful mobile device if (a) you're too lazy to configure it to protect your privacy, and (b) it's a paperweight in your pocket because you chewed through the battery needlessly?
