You missed the 'Waterproof my phone' feature. It's heat activated, so just take the phone out of it's case, lightly heat for 3 minutes with a hair dryer, then toss into a container of water to test. These current videos are good Joe, but I'm really missing the occasional dose of ridiculous and/or obscene. You were *so good* at those. : )

[@beekdorrr]

Robnord1 wow it worked! thanks! now my phone is fucking ruined you demon!

The Developer options exists at least since Android 5. Good to know that turning off animation could might problems, I wonder which are the applications that need animation to work well. Also the download google maps is a very useful feature. The data saving options very useful too.

[@MrSilviut]

@ThioJoe Thank you for the video. Switching to Android from iPhone hoping for a more customizable experience, would love to see how it goes!

[@Amirlan5]

You won't have any deep customisation, but there will be some perks like better audio messages

[@yonatanklatchko8957]

Thanks so much!!! I have Android 6.0.1 and there is no cat game, but instead a flappy-bird (with and android icon instead of a bird) game.

[@naneoteokke7850]

Yona Klatchko I have that, but the problem is, I can't seem to get inside the first pipe, because my bird (android icon) jumps so high when I tap it..

But... does this work in India?

[@LovepreetSingh-qp5ox]

Ben im in india.. and everything is oretty working...but can precisely mention what you r concerned about!?

[@swibb5790]

Oh umm... I didn't expect someone would take this seriously. It's a joke. It's funny (or it should be) because many people under Thio's videos were asking if x or y would work in India, which was ridiculously stupid sometimes. So there you go :) Hope I didn't offend you or anything good night =)

I have enabled Fore Activities to be resizeable, but still, cannot resize Pokemon Go on Note 5. It says can't use this app in multi-window mode. Is there a stock way of enabling the multi-window mode. I am just dragging from the corner or using the double window button after clicking the recent apps button. I don't see the battery icon in the settings above. The only thing that is close is the power savings or the performance mode. Lastly, I have note 5 for T-Mobile and since the update to Nougat 7.0, I cannot scroll using the S Pen in any of the windows. Before, it used to be that I would take the pen at the bottom of the internet or some other windows and there would become an arrow that would allow automatic scrolling, but the arrow no longer comes. Do you know how to fix it or is there an alternative. Thank you.

[@houndofzoltan]

Thanks for the video (although if you said 'a bunch of times' a bunch of times less that would be great.) Keep up the good work.
