Hello Saki! Do you know what will happen if I want locate my phone in case of losing it? Will I be able to locate it, or if there is a solution for this? Thanks!
Matrix Live Wallpaper (free from playstore) looks much better. Been using it on various devices for the past 10 years, just three glitches so far......
Hello Saki, if I disable the location and in the event of losing or stealing the smartphone, how will I have this possibility of finding thanks for your attention, a hug.
I was concerned about this myself, but the Samsung Find My Mobile, not the Google version, will turn on Location on the phone. I tested with wifi and location off, and when I tried to locate the phone, the Samsung service turned location on and pinpointed my phone on a map. It seems as though as long as you have cellular service or the phone is connected to wifi, Samsung Find My Mobile will work with location turned off. Requires you to set the service up in advance. Looks like once you use the service from the website, location services stays enabled on your phone. findmymobile.samsung.com.
Hi Saki I have a question I enabled a feature where you type in the word for example email and the system prints out my email but now I don't want to use this feature how do I turn this off
Hi Sak, question: When I turn off Location, I get a warning that if I loose my phone or it's stolen, I will not be able to locate it. How can I get around this?
The alternative to this is you can individually select which apps you allow access to location in the background. I selectively allow access “only when using the app”. You can update this in Settings - location - app permissions.
But this message does not turn on the location automatically you still have to then turn on location as well each time you use an app like maps please correct me if I'm wrong
So my Google maps is set to use location when using the app...i turned device location off and Google maps is asking me to turn device location on...in reality it shouldn't shouldn't do that should it?
My concern is if I turn location off and only activates when Like in your example, maps are engaged, what about The Samsung app find my phone? How do you work around that?
That is only asking permission for the app to get your location info while you are using the app, but it doesn't stop your location services from being used in the background by other apps that drains your battery.
I normally charge every two days, and am on voice calls for hours each workday. During the recent time off, the battery lasted nearly a week. Looking at my phone, Location Services is turned on, but the battery usage report, which goes back a week, doesn't even mention Location Services, so it must be like 1/1000 of the usage or less. (I used Door Dash yesterday, so it did obtain my location at least once) My experience is that after the first batch of smart phones that ran down the battery if you kept GPS on, they automatically use it only when needed; e.g. in a maps app. And "Location Services" is more general, using known cell tower locations and known WiFi locations as well. So, does your "hack" actually have any effect? How did you test it to ensure the same conditions before and after?
yes, I agree with you, modern phones are not "actively" using location services all the time just because the location services are on, it only gets used when an app that needs location services requests it, google maps is an obvious example, but there are many more that want it and probably don't even need it and that can be managed individually per app by removing the permission, I have tested tis by turning off location services completely and I can confirm that the difference is negligible, probably "Ok Google" listening services consumes way more.
@@dseb99 Same lol. I figured it out by accident on my last phone and just remembered to set it up again on my new one from this video tonight lol. Old one was note 10+ and new one is note 20 ultra
@@jonathanmickens5202 Same as this video basically. Go into routines, select places, choose home on the first one, select wifi on the 2nd one, and on the 3rd one select wifi off.
I really enjoyed the power savings mode technique @sakitech but for some reason the battery percentage still drains not as quick as before but still relatively quick. Any tips to enhance this any more? Push the boundaries of a samsung device?
Just add the find my phone app to the routine, as long as your phone is connected to the internet when you go to the website it'll activate the location.
So....I picked all the apps that I think use my location.....but when I close out all my apps that I'm currently using, the location icon on my drag down menu is still turned on. Is there an app still using my location that I haven't added in my Bixby Routine?....Update: never mind. I figured it out. He should have said to turn off Location from jump street. Once I did that, it works as advertised. So now, when I open an app that needs location services, Location turns on. When I close the app, Location turns off.👍🏾👍🏾 I'm good now. Still....thanks Saki!!!!
I never really used Bixby but now through your videos I'm learning more about my Galaxy A80 than when I first got it last year! Anything I can do to make my battery last longer is a great help, Thanks a lot
Well I'm using a lot of Bixby routines... 1. Saving battery at night (by turning off location, mobile data, Bluetooth, Wifi during 7-8 hrs at night) 2. Auto rotate for specific apps (gallery, RUclips). 3. Bluetooth off/on automatically when I'm at a location. Bixby routines makes the dumb phone smartphone
I've been using Bixby routines for years now. And it's genius. Auto rotate is enable when I launch RUclips and every night sync gets disabled automatically and power saving mode on as well plus a lot more. But no matter what I do Samsung devices still managed to drain a lot overnight. Unlike Sony Xperia for example which doesn't lose not even 2%
- OK Google. Find my phone. - Find it yourself. - OK Google, find my phone. - Ask that blonde bhich called bixby! OK, I know if it's lost, you've gotta have a second one to use the Google Assistant on. It's just, whatever, ask bixby...
I see your NFC and SYNC is turned on.You can disable it,and turn it ON manually,whenever you need to sync your stuff (Contacts,Messages,etc) to your Samsung/Google Account only when required,and also turn NFC on whenever you want to make payments through Samsung Pay.These couple of things (NFC and Sync) also use lot of battery,and using it manually also give you a battery boost for alteast an extra hour or two.
....just luv ur vids...so valuable...but, on this particular vid, if I have Lookout Security on - protecting my phone - I assume it's on all the time? - then, I guess this tip wouldn't work, would it? Since I thought both my fitbit fitness device & my Lookout app are always on, then location would never turn off?
My cell phone I presumed already has factory setting to detect low battery power. Therefore if I did inadvertently reach at a "0%" juice left......again, then my cell phone would prompt me and indicate, " slow charge" or change to the correct charger cable. Some other warning similar to it. The battery is good, not the same though. Factory setting, not that much. Battery will charge on your phone, but not the same way. Stop and charge up on point, once you predict or see that you've reach below this mark. Zero < 30% battery power left. Stay above 30 > though to avoid the batteries reserve warning. I noticed that my phone charged at a higher rate just before I reach 30% hurdle or mark. If I paid attention. Sadly, charging below 30% reserve, forced me to charge it up (slow), I would then overlook the, " slow charging" or the "incorrect charger cable" prompts by powering off. The battery will charge quicker. Either way I had to eventually replace the battery. Less of a hussle that way.
Another one i am using daily, REMOVE SHUTTER SOUND CAMERA APP: IF camera app opens, THEn enable do not disturb. Revert changes after exiting the camera app.
For Phones with Samsung UI 2.0 like S9, S10, Note 9, etc. You need to install Good Lock from galaxy store and then install Routines in Good lock. The app is just like Bixby Routines but is called Routines.
Ok, I have a S9+ and under 'Advance Features" the first thing I have is called "Bixby Key" and nothing under it that says "Bixby Routines" or "Routines" Is there something else for Samsung S9+ phones?
Me and my cousin, both of us got the new samsung galaxy note 20 ultra 5G. It's an awesome phone but the only problem we have is that the battery drains fast. The note 20 ultra 5G has a 4500mha battery. Before that we had the note 10 plus which is 4000mha. My question is, why does the note 20 ultra 5G waste more battery life then the note 10 plus. If you could please give me an answer or a solution to this problem. Thank you.
Hi, you have a wonderful channel for Samsungs user. I would like to know, if there any way to do an optimized battery charging on Samsung UI 3.0 like IPhone. Battery charged until 80% then stops charging until your wake time then continue the charging Prozess
My S10+ isn't running 3.0 yet.....I tried this. After I add (waze), when I get to add(+) and search for (location), nothing comes up ??. Just says "not found"
I don't understand why we have to use tricks like that. I need location : press app button. Or open maps. Then close location when not used. This should be normal behavior of Android OS. Anyway thx for the tip
Excellent video. brilliant way to Save battery. Thanks Mr. Saki. Mr. Saki What about auto Sync Option, does it also kills Battery like location App? If yes then is there any way to Start auto sync like You show about location.
I get terrible battery life on my S10+ so this is brilliant. I added all my shopping apps, smart home devices and apps that rely on maps like takeaway food delivery apps. I use Bixby Routines for lots of things and I hadn't thought of using it for this. One app that I have an issue with is my blood glucose app. It says it needs location to push the Bluetooth data from my blood sugar machine to my phone. Even though I added it, the location doesn't turn on before the app detects it is off and then refuses to push the data. I just have to remember to turn location on before I use my machine and open the app. But thanks for this tip. I really learn a lot from you. Including how to use kwgt. Your apps are truly brilliant!
I installed a big Android head unit in my car and my Bixby turns on mobile hot spot every time my phone connects to the head unit via Bluetooth (which happens automatically since BT is always on on my phone). So I start the car and in a few seconds I have internet on my head unit, and I do absolutely nothing for it to happen. If not for Bixby I would end up buying USB dongle modem and additional SIM card.
I have a S9 and been having this issue for awhile. I've tried everything but to no avail. My original battery at 1 year all of a sudden went from 20% to 0 . Battery was changed out, and within a month the new battery is doing the same thing. Its been consistent now for about 7 months on the new battery. Help please, any thoughts. Thanks.
Sir, This feature is not working in case of other apps. Ex: I have opted for maps and an app which I use for booking cabs. I case of Maps the Bixby routine is working perfectly and the location is turned off upon exiting application. This is not in case of other application as mentioned above.
Hi i just wanna ask, while charging is it normal if the battery reaches around 70% it slows down a bit? My phone is a52 4g 1month old using 15w charger came with the phone. I just noticed this recently at first im not experiencing this one.
Not that it is important to me for Google to give me a summary of the places I visited in a year, but how do I get locations to turn ON for places I visit? Also, I need locations ON for the other BR to function, like switching ON WiFi when I get home, or mute calls when I get to the office. How do I get around this?
So I've been trying to find a way to send you a DM and not sure if it's possible on RUclips but what I want to know is I'm on AT&T with a note 10 plus and I still am on one UI 2.5, I still have yet to see anything about one UI 3.0. I guess my question is can I ever expect to see 3.0 on the note 10 plus or is that just not even an option
I love this new feature and i also love your channel. I only have one small problem with this feature. In Holland we have a app for the corona virus and that app uses the location feature 24/7. So my location option stays on for 24/7. I don't know if this means my battery safe is not changing or that it does because only one app is using it? Hope to get a reply. Thank you and from Holland keep on doing this great channel
What's up saki, great video awesome idea, but it doesn't work when you have good lock using left and right quick shortcuts. I have set up when I swipe right map's opens and takes me home. With the Bixby routine on the maps app opens but then promts me to turn on location and when I press yes gps starts but when I close the app it doesn't turn off the location. Sucks because I like both features but I love good lock swiping feature for short cuts better
Hi Sakitech, can you do a video on how to change the default video player in samsung note 10? When I go gallery and try to play a video, it'll be playing without sound and I cannot control the player. Only way is to tab on the 3 dots and tab on the video player. Tried to find the solution online but zero!
Tried this. When I open Maps it irritatingly asks to turn on Location services or Ignore. Almost as quick to turn location on manually (though of course an extra step to turn off when exiting the app). I didnt see this happen in the video so perhaps there's a way to turn off that message.
Doesn't Bixby polling also use battery? If you turn off Bluetooth and wifi location assist, that saves more battery. I do not see location draining on the Note 10+ 855.
I have just tried this on my S20 with UI3 and location services stays on when I test the routine with Maps or Facebook etc. When I check the routine settings a message pops up saying Location Services needs to be turned on for the routine to work. Is it to do with the 'When routine ends' setting as it says "reverse all actions where possible" so does that mean it may not be able to turn off Location Services when you close an app that is in the list? 🙁
Hey can you please help me with this question I have the samsung s20ultra. When I recieve Videos from the messages app that comes with the phone they are blurry when they reach someone they are also blurry my camera is good.Idk why it's sending low quality videos and when I receive them
Hi Please can you help with a problem. I own Samsung s10 5g and have an appointment via video call, but cant find on phone where to enable allow video call i have gone into phone settings then nothing says video call. Many Thanks
Think twice before doing this. The location service is required to be ON if you need to use Google's 'Find My Phone' service. If location is OFF and you lose your phone then Google will not be able to tell you where it is.
I have a question about my new Note 20 Ultra. I have rotate turned on, but the display will not rotate on RUclips, or any other app. I did have an open app, not sure what, that did rotate when I turned the phone clockwise. I can't repeat that. Is my new phone defective or is there another setting that I need to change?
I always have location turned off. It's not to hard and it takes only 1 sec to turn it on when you need it. Not a single app is using GPS. I simply didn't allow them to use that feature. So Bixby is trash in my opinion
Extend battery life 😑.... Hey aleast show us the before and after screenshots. The issue isnt the location turning on or off. Its that in the latest android and ios versions bluetooth and location is already on even if its off. The OS is pinging the location of the user to relay data back to the server.
Except this isn't that automated, because you have to remember to always kill the app. Which is more steps and annoyance than pulling down the status and disabling location.
sakitech, there is a major BUG with this feature. i enabled the location feature for the google fit app. while it does turn on location when i open the app, the route on the map at the end of the trip is totally wrong. it happens several times and i had to remove the feature. i urge anyoneto try it and see for yourself. you can do this by adding 'google fit' app and enable location when the app opens.
I tried to create a routine to turn on the location and data mode when disconnected from my home wifi, but it did not work. Is it possible to create a routine like that? My intention is activate automatically the location and data mode when I leave home. Many times I forget to turn on those features (manually) when I go out.
This will disable your gps if you even minimise maps, even if it goes to smaller multi task mode. Not to mention your weather app will stop working correctly as there is no easy way to set up time based on your widgets updating.
Excellent and we are looking for such tips to save battery without disabling a lot of stuff , can you please share more videos related for battery saving using bixby routine
This was cool until it came to the camera app. Even though I have it to turn on location services when launching the camera, I get a pop up to improve location services. It got annoying that I just removed the routine to turn off and on location.
I use Bixby routine to turn on my wifi hot spot in my car when my phone is connected to my Bluetooth in my car so I have wifi for my android head unit, works great I use to have to do it manually now when I'm not in my car it is turned off or on as needed.
Ok it's good but can you explain what happened if you turn that feature on and you lose you phone you can't track it is it so can you explain plz is it gonna work on that as well thanks u great...

Hi, you have a wonderful channel for Samsungs user. I would like to know, if there any way to do an optimized battery charging on Samsung UI 3.0 like IPhone. Battery charged until 80% then stops charging until your wake time then continue the charging Prozess
My S10+ isn't running 3.0 yet.....I tried this. After I add (waze), when I get to add(+) and search for (location), nothing comes up ??. Just says "not found"
I don't understand why we have to use tricks like that.
I need location : press app button. Or open maps. Then close location when not used.
This should be normal behavior of Android OS.
Anyway thx for the tip
Excellent video. brilliant way to Save battery. Thanks Mr. Saki. Mr. Saki What about auto Sync Option, does it also kills Battery like location App? If yes then is there any way to Start auto sync like You show about location.
I get terrible battery life on my S10+ so this is brilliant. I added all my shopping apps, smart home devices and apps that rely on maps like takeaway food delivery apps. I use Bixby Routines for lots of things and I hadn't thought of using it for this.
One app that I have an issue with is my blood glucose app. It says it needs location to push the Bluetooth data from my blood sugar machine to my phone. Even though I added it, the location doesn't turn on before the app detects it is off and then refuses to push the data. I just have to remember to turn location on before I use my machine and open the app.
But thanks for this tip. I really learn a lot from you. Including how to use kwgt. Your apps are truly brilliant!
I installed a big Android head unit in my car and my Bixby turns on mobile hot spot every time my phone connects to the head unit via Bluetooth (which happens automatically since BT is always on on my phone). So I start the car and in a few seconds I have internet on my head unit, and I do absolutely nothing for it to happen. If not for Bixby I would end up buying USB dongle modem and additional SIM card.
I have a S9 and been having this issue for awhile. I've tried everything but to no avail. My original battery at 1 year all of a sudden went from 20% to 0 . Battery was changed out, and within a month the new battery is doing the same thing. Its been consistent now for about 7 months on the new battery. Help please, any thoughts.
Thanks.
Sir,
This feature is not working in case of other apps.
Ex: I have opted for maps and an app which I use for booking cabs.
I case of Maps the Bixby routine is working perfectly and the location is turned off upon exiting application. This is not in case of other application as mentioned above.
Not possible when my Samsung M31 does not support Bixby Routines. 😔
Hi i just wanna ask, while charging is it normal if the battery reaches around 70% it slows down a bit? My phone is a52 4g 1month old using 15w charger came with the phone. I just noticed this recently at first im not experiencing this one.
Not that it is important to me for Google to give me a summary of the places I visited in a year, but how do I get locations to turn ON for places I visit?
Also, I need locations ON for the other BR to function, like switching ON WiFi when I get home, or mute calls when I get to the office. How do I get around this?
So I've been trying to find a way to send you a DM and not sure if it's possible on RUclips but what I want to know is I'm on AT&T with a note 10 plus and I still am on one UI 2.5, I still have yet to see anything about one UI 3.0. I guess my question is can I ever expect to see 3.0 on the note 10 plus or is that just not even an option
I love this new feature and i also love your channel. I only have one small problem with this feature. In Holland we have a app for the corona virus and that app uses the location feature 24/7. So my location option stays on for 24/7. I don't know if this means my battery safe is not changing or that it does because only one app is using it? Hope to get a reply. Thank you and from Holland keep on doing this great channel
Note 9 on OneUi 2.5: no bixny routines under advanced options. Si far for Samsung and its damn expensive flagships that just sucks 2 years later...
What's up saki, great video awesome idea, but it doesn't work when you have good lock using left and right quick shortcuts. I have set up when I swipe right map's opens and takes me home. With the Bixby routine on the maps app opens but then promts me to turn on location and when I press yes gps starts but when I close the app it doesn't turn off the location. Sucks because I like both features but I love good lock swiping feature for short cuts better
Hi Sakitech, can you do a video on how to change the default video player in samsung note 10? When I go gallery and try to play a video, it'll be playing without sound and I cannot control the player. Only way is to tab on the 3 dots and tab on the video player. Tried to find the solution online but zero!
Tried this. When I open Maps it irritatingly asks to turn on Location services or Ignore. Almost as quick to turn location on manually (though of course an extra step to turn off when exiting the app).
I didnt see this happen in the video so perhaps there's a way to turn off that message.
Hi Saki am using Note9, OS 10 on 2.5 OneUI but can't get Bixby routines under advanced features even with my search tab. Need help
Doesn't Bixby polling also use battery? If you turn off Bluetooth and wifi location assist, that saves more battery. I do not see location draining on the Note 10+ 855.
I have just tried this on my S20 with UI3 and location services stays on when I test the routine with Maps or Facebook etc. When I check the routine settings a message pops up saying Location Services needs to be turned on for the routine to work. Is it to do with the 'When routine ends' setting as it says "reverse all actions where possible" so does that mean it may not be able to turn off Location Services when you close an app that is in the list? 🙁
Hey can you please help me with this question I have the samsung s20ultra.
When I recieve Videos from the messages app that comes with the phone they are blurry when they reach someone they are also blurry my camera is good.Idk why it's sending low quality videos and when I receive them
Hi Please can you help with a problem. I own Samsung s10 5g and have an appointment via video call, but cant find on phone where to enable allow video call i have gone into phone settings then nothing says video call. Many Thanks
WORST PHONE Samsung note 20 ultra i had in the last 6 years. Never ever going to buy any Samsung product again in my life🤨
Think twice before doing this. The location service is required to be ON if you need to use Google's 'Find My Phone' service. If location is OFF and you lose your phone then Google will not be able to tell you where it is.
I can't find this on my Samsung A5-2017 phone. When I download it from Samsung I get a warning that it may "harm" my phone.
I have a question about my new Note 20 Ultra. I have rotate turned on, but the display will not rotate on RUclips, or any other app. I did have an open app, not sure what, that did rotate when I turned the phone clockwise. I can't repeat that. Is my new phone defective or is there another setting that I need to change?
I always have location turned off. It's not to hard and it takes only 1 sec to turn it on when you need it. Not a single app is using GPS. I simply didn't allow them to use that feature. So Bixby is trash in my opinion
Saki, I don't have Bixby routine. I am using Samsung Galaxy M31. What to do? Is there any alternative for this tip?
I’m running oneui 2.5 on Android 10 on Galaxy Note 9, and I don’t see Bixby Routines anywhere, just Bixby key.
Ohh.. you discovered hot water... With Bixby Routines enabled.. it eats more battery than GPS turned ON all the time
Battery life was reduced from 24h to 13h after the new update. What can this do? Shows 24 hours of battery life before to the update
Galaxy note 10 5G
This is awesome. Thank you. Saki
Extend battery life 😑.... Hey aleast show us the before and after screenshots.
The issue isnt the location turning on or off. Its that in the latest android and ios versions bluetooth and location is already on even if its off. The OS is pinging the location of the user to relay data back to the server.
Except this isn't that automated, because you have to remember to always kill the app. Which is more steps and annoyance than pulling down the status and disabling location.
sakitech, there is a major BUG with this feature. i enabled the location feature for the google fit app. while it does turn on location when i open the app, the route on the map at the end of the trip is totally wrong. it happens several times and i had to remove the feature. i urge anyoneto try it and see for yourself. you can do this by adding 'google fit' app and enable location when the app opens.
Un wallpapers like that also uses battery life and I bixby on my phone is disabled which also uses up battery.
I tried to create a routine to turn on the location and data mode when disconnected from my home wifi, but it did not work. Is it possible to create a routine like that?
My intention is activate automatically the location and data mode when I leave home. Many times I forget to turn on those features (manually) when I go out.
What if I use Google assistant & not Bixby. Do I need to turn Bixby on. Or there's another alternative?? Please elucidate
This will disable your gps if you even minimise maps, even if it goes to smaller multi task mode. Not to mention your weather app will stop working correctly as there is no easy way to set up time based on your widgets updating.
Excellent and we are looking for such tips to save battery without disabling a lot of stuff , can you please share more videos related for battery saving using bixby routine
This was cool until it came to the camera app. Even though I have it to turn on location services when launching the camera, I get a pop up to improve location services. It got annoying that I just removed the routine to turn off and on location.
I have downloaded a couple of your wallpapers. Where can I find them on my galaxy and how do I have them popping up and changing regularly?
I use Bixby routine to turn on my wifi hot spot in my car when my phone is connected to my Bluetooth in my car so I have wifi for my android head unit, works great I use to have to do it manually now when I'm not in my car it is turned off or on as needed.
Ok it's good but can you explain what happened if you turn that feature on and you lose you phone you can't track it is it so can you explain plz is it gonna work on that as well thanks u great...
Which means that bixby routines will be always in the background. So question is who waist more battery bixby or location services
