Idk why a lot of RUclips reviews are like "you can finally put the back button on the left where it belongs" I know other androids are like that but Samsung has always had the back button on the right and as a long time Samsung user that's what I'm used to already.
again, everyone is crying about the placement of the fingerprint scanner. I bought the s8 almost 2 weeks ago, and I never had problems with reaching it and/or smudging up the camera.
Yeah I do not smidge my camera because I know that the first fingerprint scanner is all the way on the left. Some people dont know that and its annoying ugh
Hey Zach, your production quality keeps going up! Love how up to date on customization you are, really excited to see where your channel is trending to!
I have one question for you. If you guys keep bitching about how hard it is to use the fingerprint scanner, how come you keep saying that it's easy to use to pull down the notification panel? I just don't get it.
Benson Thomas Exactly. I've been using my new S8 for 2 days and I haven't confused the fingerprint scanner and camera once. They're just trying to find something to complain about. Honestly it's no big deal. And it's not a big stretch.
I've disliked otherwise great review videos exclusively because of the fake hatred towards the fingerprint scanner. It pissed me off when I got the phone and realized how wrong they were
I have a galaxy s8 and I have no problem reeaching the fingerprint sensor only one thing is you have to fully cover the sensor like all of it with your finger which annoys me other than that it's easy to reach and I haven't confused it with the camera
Ratings for this video, new to android and some cool tricks i didn't know, robbed your theme, didn't know about swiping down on the finger sensor to bring the notification bar down/ up the triple tapping home button is a cool trick.
I seen this phone is person man it's so crisp! One of the best Displays I've ever seen on a phone. I've used apple since 2010 but now I think Ima switch over to android the new iPhone isn't going to have a charge port nor a headphone jack no point in using it anymore.
Originally watched on my OP3T and finally on my own S8+. Love the theme and oh boy the battery life does not disappoint. I'd love to get a dbrand on it but I just don't wanna risk it. Spigen is my choice
Nice tips & tricks mate. I'm well used to the Galaxy series, but with all the newer functions being added on each model it kind of gets a little tricky to pay attention and remembering each and every useful action you can perform, so good to see some of these tips & tricks videos, thumbs up for that! By the way, your S8 looks really mint here. May I ask, do you use a screen protector of some sort? I've literally babycarried mine ever since I got it about 2 weeks ago. Never placed it face down, and even though I haven't put on any protection yet, it has always been carried around tucked well into a cloth. Somehow, even though I've NEVER allowed for any objects to even come CLOSE to the screen, I noticed last night a tiny scratch in the middle of the screen. It's only visible if you view the display in very bright light, say at the mall, or underneath a lamp, in certain angles. Curious if you have gotten any minor scratching on yours yet, or if you have successfully avoided that ;) Oh and secondly, really nice theme. Do you still use it, or have you found a better alternative with a similar dark setup? Thumbs up Zach!
I don't know how some people say comes out of the box set to 1080p when in the menu the lowest setting is higher than 1080p look at the resolution right underneath what it says.
Solution to swiping down on a tall display : remap Bixby button to go to the quick setting you would have to swipe down to get / I did this with the fingerprint sensor with my galaxy s6 edge +
great video thanks, I saw an article yesterday that said there will be software update coming soon that is going to take away many of the colors for the navigation bar, including black and the multi color wheel, they didn't say why, it did say that after the update it will automatically revert to the default color, have you heard anything about this, if its true it will be very disappointing.
Thank you for the tips. It's late December and I think I'll be buying this phone today. I have a question though - would you be able to share the music playlist? It's pimpin' Thanks
thanks soo much for the bixby remapping app. i freaking HATE where they put that stupid button, i always accidently hit it when doing something. Set it flashlight so its not gunna pop anything up on the screen if i do hit it.
I just got my S8 yesterday and to me the battery is awful. I'm not even using it and I'm sitting here watching the percentage go down. Is there something I can do? I had the S7 for about 3 years and it was time to upgrade but now I'm thinking maybe it was a bad idea if the battery is this bad.
I had to replace my s8 with a new s8, keyboard was burned into the screen, thankfully covered by warranty, anyways, 1st of thanks for the Black Material theme, its awesome, secondly thanks for the rest of the tips & tricks ... Saludos de Mexico (Greetings from Mexico)
Had the phone for 3 weeks. You get used to the finger print scanner placement and I actually like where it is. I like the fact that the whole front of the phone is basically the screen. Amazing phone. I can't fault it. I switched over to Samsung from being with Apple since the beginning of the iPhone. Bixby I also like. But the button placement is fucking annoying.
Alright, I have a question. How do you make the icons look regular when you download the material black theme? I went to settings, and the place where you can select frames around icons is blocked out so I can't select it and I don't have any of the choices to change my menu bar
This video was really helpfull but i only have a set of colours to change the navigation bar id really like to make it a custom colour if anyone can help
Jose Ricardo Mora I'd get the S7 Edge, better camera, SD Card, water resistant and I think but not sure, a bigger battery. On the other hand the 3T has close to stock android, on screen buttons, and that sick super fast charging they have.
Where do you find the material black theme? I cannot seem to find one that keeps the original icons. The ones I find look like a 3 year old made them. Thanks
I can t seem to change the navigation bar colour... I have kind of faded out colours and I don't have the colour spectrum option but I have the theme set identically to the video guy... and all other settings are identical to that point too. Help ??
Thanks for the video I'm using the theme I've noticed though that I can't put a custom wallpaper with it on is there a way to keep the theme but have a custom wallpaper?
If u use material_black theme why u app icons didn't be changed. When im do material_black all my app icons be changed and i didn't like that. And u phone fone isn't black.
Can somebody help me? The gray tab thats on the side of the galaxy S8 is gone... and i want it back becuase its really useful but i don't know how to do it
Am i the only one who is absolutely in love with the s8 even as an apple user
yes.
Savvy Luis , Isn't the screen size of the regular S9 the same as that of the regular S8. Also, doesn't a bigger screen mean less battery life
Yes the phone is shit i hate it
So am i
You should switch :)
Just got the Samsung Galaxy S8 now in 2022 and its still a pretty unique and decent phone.
I am loving it
Idk why a lot of RUclips reviews are like "you can finally put the back button on the left where it belongs" I know other androids are like that but Samsung has always had the back button on the right and as a long time Samsung user that's what I'm used to already.
Best use of Bixby = Mute button
Rip
I think the best use is for the camera
Truee
Josha Smith just press The side button twice
Good man
again, everyone is crying about the placement of the fingerprint scanner. I bought the s8 almost 2 weeks ago, and I never had problems with reaching it and/or smudging up the camera.
Same im 12 and have no problem just reach all the way to the left with a case btw im right handed
@@genetorres1609 im 12 too and about to get one
Yeah I do not smidge my camera because I know that the first fingerprint scanner is all the way on the left. Some people dont know that and its annoying ugh
The S8 is so crispy and clean. Your quality of work is getting so much better with every video... Stay Awesome Zach ✌🏼
Watching on s8
Watching on the s8+...... so up yours Kelroy!!! 😋
@@mikecowan5221 lol watching on my s20
lol watching on my iPhone 32 pro max plus
That's so cool that you can make jifs on your Jalaxy S8. Truly looks like a jreat phone.
THANK YOU
lol
"Jiff" is the correct pronunciation of GIF, per the guy who invented it, Steve Wilhite. Google it.
I'm seriously not trying to be mean bet is galixy and great
Ikr it's a jreat phone, too bad it's not stock android like joogle's default. I'm lookinj forward to this phone
You're a lifesaver!!!! I just got my s8+ plus today so I needed this. That Bixby rerouting and fingerprint nav bar thing is the best...
Thanks that Material black theme is what I've been looking for.
Bradford White I cannot find it
Couldn't find it on mine either, or at least not where he showed in the above video. I did find it in a search and then it ends up being a paid app...
It's called Material Dark -> it's free in my Samsung Themes app.
Shailen Sobhee I cant able 2 download that theme by pressing download...plz help me
is theme make your battery drain faster?
The app to remap the Bixby button was just awesome! Thank you so much!
As far as finger prints on the back, just install an all needed protective case.....SOLVED! Great video my friend!
If you could remap the button to take a screen shot that would be so amazing
DimSimHunter ye "screen record"
You guys have some good ideas 🤔👌🏾...
You can...if you pay 2.49
That remap is a God send. Thank you!
Hey Zach, your production quality keeps going up! Love how up to date on customization you are, really excited to see where your channel is trending to!
I haven't got the phone and I'm not getting it either but yet watching it because your videos are crispy af and I love tech.

zedge has some pretty good wallpapers
Good stuff Z. Just got mine a week ago. Poking around. I may skip launcher and Google apps. Very impressed so far.
Immediately downloaded the app to remap Bixby! Thanks for the info!!!

Great video man. Really enjoy how thorough your videos are and the thought that goes into presentation. Keep it up.
RUclipsr: "The phone is really tall and it is harder to scroll down for notifications"
Me: Can't they just lift a finger😤
I love how you speak, chilled, layed back and informative!
Thank you!
@@ZachAnderson of course! Thank you for the tips. I just got an s8 ;)

Those features are only for Verizon I have at&t and my customize doesn't give me the same option nor does my background color change

Just got mine yesterday I love it so far!

Great video man! I love the blue tint of your videos:)
Great clear narrative, very helpful indeed. Thank you.
Nice theme suggestion dude... Thank u... Now my s8 is working experience is awesome

One of the features i like in galaxy is the swipe screen from left to right to take screen shot.😇😇😇
Thanks really great examples and I am getting a lot more out of my new phone.
Really amazing and crisp quality man!
do you apply any screen protectors on your phones? if so, any recommendations
Great video really helped me! Thanks
Very useful. Thank you!
Cool video. I need one S8 in my life right now.

If I do miss the fingerprint scanner I hit the heart rate scanner instead, not the camera. lol I just forget what side it's in sometimes.
Great job on this. Well done.
Thank you for the tips. It's late December and I think I'll be buying this phone today. I have a question though - would you be able to share the music playlist? It's pimpin'
Thanks

Do you have to download an app to copy and paste a image into an email?
It just looks like you can only attach.
Just watching this in the first 25 minutes of having my s8

I always wanted to change the navigation bar color but you have so many more options. Why is that?

How can I have the material black theme but not have it change my app look? It changes the style of my apps but for him it doesnt in the video.
This video was really helpfull but i only have a set of colours to change the navigation bar id really like to make it a custom colour if anyone can help

Great video! I'd love to know what music you use in it! Cheers
hi man, I have a question.
Here, the S7 edge and the OP3T are the same price. Wich one will you buy?
Jose Ricardo Mora I'd get the S7 Edge, better camera, SD Card, water resistant and I think but not sure, a bigger battery. On the other hand the 3T has close to stock android, on screen buttons, and that sick super fast charging they have.
Out of the 2? Id go for the s8+
Where do you find the material black theme? I cannot seem to find one that keeps the original icons. The ones I find look like a 3 year old made them. Thanks
Thanks man. I just got this phone
I can t seem to change the navigation bar colour... I have kind of faded out colours and I don't have the colour spectrum option but I have the theme set identically to the video guy... and all other settings are identical to that point too. Help ??

Thanks for the video I'm using the theme I've noticed though that I can't put a custom wallpaper with it on is there a way to keep the theme but have a custom wallpaper?

You can swipe up fp sensor for Samsung pay too...
How can I activate s voice in my galaxy s8 + without touching any button just by speaking it as in note 5 ?
a question about the dbrand skin
can you still put a case & glass screen protector if you have the dbrand skin on your phone?
+Hemyar Alnami Yup!
Awesome Video!
Are you using this as a daily driver?
+Elias gagnef Yup!
Zachary Anderson Ohmygod you actually responded
What kind of app did u use for calendar?
I can't choose navigation bar colors myself because only 5or6 six colors provide me
Does the s8 active do the exact thing?
Brilliant Job mate
One question for u how to stop what's app download to your photo gallery
