Welcome into the video today. I'm bringing you more helpful beginner tips and tricks to help you with the learning curve on your Samsung Galaxy A37 and if you missed the part one of this video I'll make sure to link it below in the description and in the pin comments you can check that one out too and One more thing if you have additional questions and things you want to learn about this phone that I haven't covered Drop me a comment down below and let me know what topics you'd like me to cover and if I get enough people to respond I will make a part three and just use the feedback from this video to incorporate those new tips Let's go ahead and get into it Number one, let's fix one of the biggest pain points of this phone Which is this new swipe down feature when you swipe down from the top It brings up your notifications and then you have to swipe left to get to your control panel to fix this We're gonna tap on the pencil at the top here and we're gonna go up to panel settings and then tap on together Now when you swipe down from the top it gives you one clean view where you can see your notification switches Your brightness adjustment and your notifications. All right, number two. Let's talk about how to keep that screen on longer We're gonna swipe down from the top of the screen. We're gonna tap on the settings wheel in the upper right corner We're gonna swipe up and go to display Swipe up again and then go to screen timeout now your phone by default will be set to either 15 seconds or 30 seconds I like to take this up to at least two minutes because that way your screen will stay on much longer without you having to Constantly touch the screen to keep it awake I have mine set to 10 for the video just so it doesn't go off while I'm explaining things Number three, I'm gonna show you how to get the always on clock to show when your phone is asleep What is the always on clock? Well, normally if you're on the lock screen if you're always on clock is calibrated properly Your phone will show you the time even when your phone is asleep now There's one tweak you have to make in the settings to do this now double tap the screen to wake it up I already have my fingerprint program So I'm gonna unlock the phone as a quick note If you want to learn how to program your fingerprint or just set a lock code on your phone I'll link up right here to my beginners video and that'll show you how to do basic things like Setting up the lock screen code and other things like that. Let's swipe down from the top of the screen We're gonna tap on that settings book again this time we're gonna swipe up and go to lock screen and AOD AOD stands for always on display and You're going to go to always on display, but tap right here where it says always on display and then Where it says when to show We're gonna tap and we're gonna change it to always now When I lock the phone watch what happens It'll now show me the time I can always see the time even when my phone is asleep for the next tip We're gonna swipe down from the top of the screen and we're gonna go back to our settings Go to display and then swipe up and look for edge panel from here. We need to enable this feature Sometimes it's already enabled but other times it may not so you want to check to make sure that this shows on and now You'll have this little dash on the right side of the phone here And when you swipe over it brings up what's called your edge panel now here You can add apps and you can basically have a quick shortcut to the apps that you use the most Let me show you how to customize it. So we're gonna swipe over Tap on that plus to add apps and here you'll see every app that is currently installed on your phone And then you can go do and just simply start adding so I'm gonna add YouTube YouTube music I'm gonna add my Instagram and Let's add gmail and let's do messages, too Okay. Now I'm gonna hit the home button. So now when I swipe over It's gonna bring up my shortcut apps that I can access no matter what I'm doing on the phone If I'm in the Google Chrome app and I'm online and I'm browsing That little dash will be there and when I swipe over I can quickly access these apps if I want to make quick changes Or if I want to just open one really quickly now another cool thing is I can drag one of these apps onto the screen and I can easily create a Multitasking window and have two apps open at one time or I can have it as a pop-up on the screen For example, let's say I want to have a pop-up of my YouTube music. I'm gonna long press on it I can either drag it to the middle and when you drag it to the middle It's gonna turn it into a pop-up that'll now show up on the screen You'll see a blue dash at the top and if I hold on the blue dash I can move this box To different points whether higher or lower on the screen if I drag from the corners I can make that little box smaller or I can drag down to make it bigger If I tap on the blue dash I can minimize it So it's still on the screen, but just as a pop-up and then if I want to open it up any time Maybe you want to change the song just simply tap on it The pop-up opens and then I can easily make the change that I want to make if I tap the dash again And tap on this little box in the middle I can actually start a split screen and now I have my YouTube music at the bottom and I have my Google Chrome at the Top here. I can actually have my music going and I could be scrolling through Amazon at the same time so All that is initiated from the app edge Now you're not limited to only five apps if I tap on this pencil here at the bottom I can add even more apps and and once you get to a certain number it will split it into two rows if I tap on calculator and Let's see my clock now. It's gonna split it and it will have two rows of apps instead of one Let's move on to the next tip, which is this is the app edge but there is another feature that is called the people edge and It's another menu within this where you can actually swipe over and it'll bring up your contacts So if you wanted to call someone or text them, you can have them show up as a shortcut in this menu We're gonna hit the home button we're gonna swipe down go back to our settings go back to display and back to the edge panel and then from here We're gonna tap on panels and here you can add additional shortcut panels So I'm gonna add the people panel if you go through here, there's other options like the weather you can have a GPS Like compass and your clipboard and reminders. There's so many other cool things you can add for now I'm just gonna add the people option But you can obviously go through and then add some of these other ones if you want to play around with them Now if I tap on edit You first need to give it permission to be able to look at your contacts because that's what it's going to load into that menu I'm gonna tap allow and then here it will show me all of my contacts and if I want to add them to that menu I simply just need to tap on the icon next to the name Now I do have them blurred out for the sake of privacy so that their numbers are not broadcast all over the internet So but you can see the pictures and I can just tap For example here and here and here and I'm just selecting the contacts like that You can do up to 12 and then I'm gonna hit done now When I open this menu You see this is the app edge and when I swipe over Now it will show my contacts and so if I want to message one of these contacts All I need to do is tap on the icon and then it will give me a pop-up and I can call them Or I can send them a quick text message So this is a super clutch feature and again It just puts the people that you contact the most right at your fingertips You can easily reach out to them if you need to message them Now so far if you're getting value out of this video, please stop and bump that like button down below I appreciate that support and if you see a little hype button If you can tap on the hype button and hype the video this just tells YouTube that you're really enjoying the content and you'd like them to push it out to more people if you do nothing else if you can do those two things that will pay so many dividends in terms of Helping this video reach more people and allow me to continue to make content like this now Another quick thing I wanted to note before we move on to the next tip If you haven't heard Samsung launched a new pair of earbuds called the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and these earbuds are so sweet. They have a new design better quality sound and so many fun new additions that Samsung has added one of which is They have voice commands that are built in now So if you are listening to music You can actually just say stop music and it will pause for you and then you can say play music and it will automatically Start playing it for you there are some new gestures now where if someone calls you you can literally just say you can just shake your head to either answer the Call or deny it and there's a bunch of other cool things that are built-in For example, you can also listen to your notifications for text messages or calls They'll come right through the earbuds. If you're in the market for a new pair of earbuds I would definitely tell you to check these out. These are so sweet. These are my daily earbuds I use these pretty much for everything. I also have them linked on screen right here in case you guys want to check them out Okay for the next tip. I want to share a really fun feature. I use all the time This is called the quick launch camera If something is happening around you and you want to take a quick picture All you have to do is press your power button twice and it will automatically Launch the camera just like this watch one two It will automatically wake up the phone and take you right into the camera And if you notice I just did it while the phone was locked. So imagine your phone is off Something happens your kid does something really cool. You want to capture it double tap? It'll wake up the phone and take you right to the camera. So you don't miss any important moments This will also work as well. If you're just in another app Maybe you're on YouTube you're watching a video or you're on the internet and you're just doing some browsing Double tapping that power button will automatically take you over to the camera. So you don't miss that important moment now Another cool thing while this is, you know A really fun feature and I find a lot of value in this some of you might say, you know I don't use my camera very much. I wish I could program that double tap to do something else And if that's the case, well if you swipe down from the top of the screen and swipe down again Tap on this this power button right here. It's the second button of the three and Then you'll tap on side button settings Here you can reprogram that double tap to basically do something else Maybe instead of launching the camera you would prefer that open up a different app For example, I can tap here on apps and then I can select a specific app to launch when I do that double press Maybe you would rather it launch Instagram. Well now Double press and it takes you right to Instagram now Some of you might say, you know, I wish I could do something a little more practical with that feature Well, let me show you another really great use case for reprogramming that button. So My favorite is actually the flashlight so you can program this to launch your flashlight So maybe you're walking around the house and it's dark and it's late and the lights aren't on Well double tap that power button and guess what now? It's going to use your camera flash as a flashlight and it will automatically launch without you even having to turn the phone on I think this is probably the number one best use case outside of using it to launch the camera So you decide what you want to do? Would you prefer to launch the camera or would you prefer it launch the flashlight or any one of these other apps? Now, you know how to adjust that setting and that's definitely going to improve your experience with using your phone overall Okay for the next tip I want to talk a little bit more about using two apps at one time This is a feature I use all the time and it comes in so handy now let's say you wanted to watch a YouTube video you're gonna open up the YouTube app and Then you're gonna tap on the button in the bottom left, which is your recent apps button Swipe over to YouTube and tap on the YouTube icon and then tap on open in split-screen view This will take YouTube and put it at the top of the screen and then allow me to select another app to be at The bottom of the screen. Maybe I want to have that Google Chrome app open and I want to scroll through my Amazon Guess what? I can do that while my video is playing at the top now I clicked on the commercial for uber eats So it just took me out of Google Chrome and now I'm in uber eats and it's trying to get me to order food So that's super funny But right here, let's say I want to play one of these videos and let's load the volume so it doesn't hurt your ears So that video could be playing right now and you can put it in full screen and then at the bottom here I'm scrolling through on Amazon I can also take the phone and rotate it in the landscape position and continue to do this as well If I tap on the three dots in the middle I could change the order and put what's on the right to the left and vice versa and when you're all done Basically hold on the three buttons in the middle drag to the right and it will take you out of split screen So this is a really fun feature. I often use this for example I want to watch a YouTube video and I'm maybe I'm texting someone or I'm just scrolling through social media This is a really easy way to do it by just allowing you to use two apps at one time Okay for the next tip. I want to show you how to Launch the emergency mode now, what is the emergency mode? Well think of it like this it could be let's say you're in an earthquake and You know, you're trapped in a certain area and you probably don't have a lot of time to try to communicate That's something that's happening to you Well, if you press the power button five times it will take you into what is called the emergency mode like this One two, three, four five and you have to press it fast. Yes. Let's try it one more time There we go. So this is what the emergency SOS mode looks like It will take you right to a screen where you can basically dial 9-1-1 and there's some other features you can activate as well When you turn this on so to do that We need to go to the settings and we need to basically plug in some more information Swipe down from the top tap on the settings from here go to safety and emergency and Here are a list of sections that you should go through one by one and make sure these are all set up Because in the event of an emergency either you're trapped somewhere or maybe you have a special medical condition Where you might faint if your blood sugar is too low or maybe you are prone to have seizures It could be anything you can think of and maybe someone would need to come to your aid to help you They could look at your phone and see your relevant medical information to make sure they care for you properly What you can also set up are what are called emergency SOS alerts and Emergency sharing which would basically send an alert to your friends and family to tell them. Hey, I'm in trouble and I need help this is where I am and It'll basically just send them your GPS corded locations And it will record a quick video and audio of where you are to try to help them to track you down So first you'll want to go to medical information Here is where you'll plug in everything from your name your conditions blood type allergies current medications All the things that would be important for a medical professional to see if they were trying to help you in an emergency Next you establish your contacts plug in the people you would like to be alerted when you trigger this mode and it will send them that SOS alert and Then here is where you need to set up the different functions So this shows you how to use the the setting and specifically you have to enable Send SOS to emergency contacts as soon as you enable this Now all of your people are going to be on a list and they'll get an alert if you trigger the mode After you have a bunch of other options So go through each one and make sure they're all turned on so that way if an emergency happens All you have to do is press that power button five times and it will automatically take you into the emergency SOS mode now if you're having trouble with that pressing it five times. There's another way to enable it which is Swiping down from the top tapping on the settings wheel or excuse me swipe down twice Tap on the power button and then here it will say emergency call if you tap on here Then it will take you to the emergency call section and then here you can have your medical information show in there as well so This is a great thing to set up Especially if you have any type of special conditions that could warrant you to faint lose consciousness you name it your phone will now be there and a Resource to help you when someone comes So yeah guys, this is a great mode I would definitely encourage you to set it up so that an emergency you are prepared now speaking of emergencies let me move on to the next tip which is Let's swipe down from the top swipe down again, and then we're gonna look for power saving I want you to long press on the power saving mode now There's two things. I want to show you with this. The first thing is Let's say you're going to be out For a long day and you're not going to have access to a charger and you want to make sure your phone does not die On you in the middle of the day. Here's what you need to do come to this section and You want to basically manually turn on the power saving mode? Now the reason to do this is because this will force your phone to conserve battery Right now in the current on the current settings your phone will probably last you most of the day if not through the whole day But if you're using it a lot, you're you're you're watching videos. You're listening to music your battery is gonna drain faster There's also a lot of functions that are happening in the background the phone that you're not aware of that are drain the battery So if you know, you're gonna be out all day Turn on power saving mode manually and make sure you're in the standard mode and this way watch this it says it's gonna limit background network usage syncing and location checking and You can also hit the settings here to see other things You may want to enable to further restrict the battery If nothing else this is going to get you a few extra hours of battery life for the day Now here's the other thing if you were in an emergency and you needed your phone to last even longer You'd want to switch to the maximum power saving mode. Let me show you what this looks like in this setting if you notice the battery the Extended battery life is gonna jump up from four hours or see me four days to up to nine days Then these are up to numbers meaning that they can fluctuate but the point is is it's going to even further limit the background activity and what's happening on your phone and It's gonna hopefully allow your phone to stay on for a long time So if you need to communicate with someone where you are or you need to check, you know The news or whatever your phone is able to keep working without you being having a charge now if we hit the home button, I Want to show you this is what your phone is gonna look like when it's in this max power saving mode in this mode A lot of your apps are going to be grayed out because using these apps are going to Basically drain your battery faster So there will be certain apps that are lit up and the ones that are lit up are the ones that you can use if you Swipe up, you'll see your whole app drawer These are all the other apps So it's restricting a lot of the apps because the goal is for it to help stretch your battery for a long period of time If you want to use one of these apps that are grayed out All you have to do is tap on the app and you can tap unpause Temporarily if you tap on this the app will now be Open for you to use but temporarily and then it will go back to being sort of paused because again the goal is how do we stretch that battery life for a long time because you don't know when you're gonna be able to get to a power source, so When you're done with this and ready to turn it off swipe down from the top swipe down again Look for that that little power saving icon long press on it you can either switch back to standard or just simply turn off power saving altogether and We hit the home button everything will be restored your wallpaper will be back all your apps will be unpaused and usable and Everything will be like normal This is a great thing to know about guys and I can't stress it enough You never know when an emergency is going to hit and you're not going to be able to get to a power source for a long time If that happens the very first thing you want to do I would tell you Um is make sure you turn on that power saving mode. So your battery is going to last so much longer Now speaking of power. I did want to point out some really cool accessories that go with this phone That are great when it comes to power consumption and extending your battery life Now the first one is this little anchor nano, uh portable power bank Now I love this thing and if you can see it really is kind of dingy because i've been using it so much it has a usbc at the top here And basically I can just pop this right in my phone if I just need a quick charge up Now I have so many days where I will just wake up And I will have like forgotten to put my phone in the charger and now my phone's at like 15 And now I have to worry about like, oh I gotta go and my phone is like almost dying So i'll plug this in and this will charge nice and fast And it has a little battery indicator on the front here So when I press the button, it'll show me, you know, how much battery, you know, each light represents 25 So i'll know exactly how much juice is left on this And when i'm done Pull this up pop this in my pocket and it's good to go.
