30 More Samsung Galaxy S8 Tips, Tricks, Features and Secrets - The Ultimate Guide Expanded!

When the best smartphones of 2017, the Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+, were first released I created the ultimate guide with 170 tips, tricks, features and secrets... and now I've found another 30!
Once again we blitz through exclusive S8 features, more settings, a few new camera tricks and all sorts of other stuff. It may be a quarter of the size of my ultimate guide, but it still bigger than most other guides on KZbin!

[@The_Inspiration_86]

U've been a big help in me learning about my new phone...thank u.

[@VGJ]

You're welcome Khalil R. Mercado, appreciate the support :)

[@Xiko.Navara4x4Adventures]

Ive ordered a brand new S8 yesterday and cant wait for it to come, ive watched your videos about the S8 and surely is going to help me out alot, IT even helped me out with some "problems" on my old phone Samsung galaxy J5 (2016)

[@gracecollins7330]

The 2 videos I have seen so far has been extremely helpful so clearly spoken and has save me so much time as this phone features are so different from the Galaxy Note 4 so there was lots to learn. Thank you so much

[@VGJ]

You're welcome Grace Collins, appreciate the support :)

[@caucasianasian4111]

Your vids are AWESOME and have been very helpful with my new s8! You're such a funny character as well. "Thug Life" part had me dying 🤣🤣🤣

[@VGJ]

My videos usually have a lot more humour in them but for these tips one your time is valuable, need to smash through them. Thanks for watching :)

[@caucasianasian4111]

Oh, I'm very familiar with your humor as this is probably the 3rd or 4th video that I've watched of yours this week 😁.

[@67895748]

is it worth to buy s8 plus? bcz i heard issues on screen like pink and all. also restarting the device again.

[@caucasianasian4111]

My wife and I have had the phones for about a week now and absolutely love them! We haven't had any issues so far. I'm coming from the note 4, which I've had for 2 1/2 years, and the s8 is way faster, but it is a new phone and that is expected.

[@robertgrayson5919]

coming from my note 4 which I loved the S8 plus is one of the best phones I've ever owned...no problems!

[@akashagnivamshi7207]

Love your videos man, I usually download videos and watch them. after watching I came back searching you to subscribe you.

[@cheongziyong8871]

This must've taken quite the time to find all of these. Really appreciate it. Can't thank you enough :D

[@uvabarros1507]

thanks man !! I'm subscribed in the your chanel bc I think you explaine very well even for people that doesn't have great knowlegde on hitec.

[@VGJ]

Welcome to the Video Gadgets Journal, Uva Braz! Thanks for signing up :)

[@ALPHARHYTHM0]

found this one while about to download my own notification sounds (Thx btw!). When you go into My Files> tap the 3 dots in the right hand corner> Get More Space> 3rd option is Duplicate Files! Useful for those of us that used Smart Switch then added pictures, music, media, etc. It automatically identifies duplicates then allows you to delete them! I thought I was going to have to go through my 20GB of music and delete one by one☠Samsung also fixed the Wallpaper issue of taking your background image and cutting/pasting into a file only accessible by rooting the phone. Keep up the great work VGJ!!!

[@tapiwakay]

All I've used for the past 8 years has been iPhone before that I had a Moto Raze. Just switched to Samsung/Android and I'm loving it.

[@Etiker5]

The s8 is an amazing bit of gear and your videos are very helpful. Thanks

You've helped me out so much , so many things I didn't no about a phone , so many features, just looking for the feature that enables messages to beep every 2 minutes so I do miss any , hope someone can help me ????

[@robertclarkguitar]

I know my 3t also does the text tap in quick setting pull down for deeper settings as well .. I thought it was android 7 and not so much Samsung but my s8 plus does offer more info I guess .. Cool video man .. Indeed

[@Sceptic989]

[@automaton7615]

Samsung is so superior to apple

[@michaelbuble1085]

No

[@irratebass]

You never cease to blow my mind Felix, I've been following you since the N7 tablet (which I still own, and use daily). When I brought my S8+ home on Friday night (4/28/17), I stayed up til 3am watching all your "tips n tricks" videos. I've used a lot of them. I just wanted to say thank you for all your research/hard work, it doesn't go unnoticed. Cheers.

[@VGJ]

Ahhhh another one of the old guard! Welcome back. That N7, still the best Android tablet right? You're very welcome and appreciate the support. The S8 guide videos are fast becoming my most successful videos ever so they were worth doing. And I do keep sending this comments to Samsung... so far they have gone unnoticed... gits.

[@irratebass]

Video Gadgets Journal (VGJFelix) oh yeah, I love my N7, was gonna hold.out for the Note 8, but my Note 4 just died, I'm very happy with the S8+

[@scottpomietlasz5892]

Great video. Thanks for sharing! I couldn't find the Optical Reader application though. any others that work the same way that you could suggest please?

[@VGJ]

If you try taking a screenshot of something (maybe from a webpage) it will tell you it can't do it without optical reader and hopefully link you to that download page.

[@scottpomietlasz5892]

***** I couldn't find the app itself though in the PlayStore.

[@weikeonglau1312]

you can find from galaxy app

[@msetmset4857]

It's not in the Playstore but on the Samsung galaxy apps

[@luism.7668]

great videos man, thank you

[@004947]

On the lock screen is there a way to change the style of the clock i want horizontal stacking numbers not vertical but i dont want the AOD active.

[@VGJ]

You have to change the whole theme to change the clock I believe.

[@DjOwar]

Just an FYI. @1:51 you CAN transfer files from the iPhone to the S8. I've done it with a friend of mine who has a 7s and was able to transfer photo's. it takes about 2-3 minutes to populate though.

[@VGJ]

Thank. I'll pin this comment so others can see it :)

[@DjOwar]

Video Gadgets Journal (VGJFelix) Anytime! cool.

[@sulemaanmusaa701]

wow s8 is the Best v nice your video help ful thnkssss

[@ShirBenovich]

Thank you for the great tips! I have a question: When I use my camera - there's a shortcut to open the gallery but the gallery shows all the pictures (i.e. including pictures received from whatapp) and not only the ones taken by the camera. Is there a way to show only the Camera / DCIM folder? Thanks :)

[@VPTUNING237]

[@VGJ]

I haven't changed it as far as I'm aware.

[@kimberlymoody1831]

[@Ross-ts2kk]

[@torashrao7470]

[@icemanmmx]

I would watch and start thinking "I know all these, let me watch something else" and then I would see something new.

[@isjdndhzk]

what do you recommend for a screen protector for the s8 and/or the s8 plus?

[@VGJ]

I've never used a screen protector and never damaged a screen so I'm afraid I don't have an answer.

[@isjdndhzk]

Thx I hope you didn't just Jinx yourself lol 😉

[@yakeenrahman511]

Stacy Callahan I didnt get one for mine as it would make this screen look and feel a bit unnatural

[@isjdndhzk]

RANDOM GAMER I ended up using the whitestone dome screen protector check it out if installed correctly it looks and feels just like your screen I have had it for some time now I love it 💖

[@LamarEllisFootball]

my Camera isn't on full screen how do I make the camera full screen?

[@VGJ]

You will need to change the camera resolution. Watch my full guide.

[@LamarEllisFootball]

how?

[@ScorpioTear]

Shuan Peterson the stock camera will not go full screen. you will need to download a different camera app

[@NOIRGOON]

A wireless mouse can also work with the s8

[@keepingmodern6161]

PSA: I bought a Galaxy S8+ and the whole screen was defective with a reddish tint, software was unable to fix the problem. Samsung did not fix the problem as their warranty repair company they use would refuse to replace defective screen on three attempts.

[@yahshaunyahu]

Tip #184 you said the selective Focus is like the iPhone telephoto mode. No, correct yourself. Selective Focus came out in 2014 on the s5, while telephoto mode for the Liephone came out in 2016. Samsung is always head of Crapple but somehow people forget Android did it 1st once Crapple copies it

[@VGJ]

All I said was selective focus was similar to portrait mode. I never said which was first or better. And I'm pretty sure it was a first for the front facing camera to include that feature.
