I was having issues with my phone not automatically switching to the strongest wifi access point when walking around my house. I was considering installing a mesh system, but now I don't have to. Routines completely solve the issue. Now when my signal strength is 2 bars or less, the routine turn off my wifi and another routine turns it back on, connecting to the strongest signal. Its great. It just works.
I always preferred compact phones like S10e and S22 until I saw your video covering each and every feature of the S-Pen which made me switch to S22U and now I'm typing this comment in my S23U. As usual an amazing video on the powerful feature of Samsung phones. Watched it liked it and saved it to my favorites list. Thank you!
I can’t even comprehend what I just watched on what this feature can do. It just makes me wonder how people spend thousands of dollars on phones and not even tap into there full potential they just use a few apps and messages and calls. My mind is blown 🤯 never would have imagined a phone could do these things
My sister drives me crazy because she wants the latest Android phone but she doesn't do much with it. lol So there's an app called IFTTT which stands for "if this then that" basically meaning if this happens then that happens. I had that app 10 years ago on my Android devices and it worked off the same idea. You'd set parameters so that when a certain condition was met, or multiple conditions, then certain other things would be triggered. Obviously 10 years ago there were lots of things it couldn't control because we just didn't have the capability. But it could actually do many, many things online that Modes and Routines is still not set up to do. I'm sure that app helped lead to Samsung's Modes and Routines and I think Google also has Routines. Just thought it was interesting that there actually was an app that did this sort of thing 10 years ago but it seemed like the only people who knew about it were those of us who were Android phone geeks. lol Your comment reminded me of IFTTT. It still exists but it's way more in-depth for automation than Modes and Routines.
Seperate question.. what is the difference between using maracas adapter vs hdmi/usb c cable say on a hotel room TV? Also I usually use dex while on my PC for work haven't much experience or experimented with the windows feature, which do you prefer and what are the main differences between them?
@@saddleupndream The difference between miracast and an hdmi/usbc cable with a TV will be the latency (the delay between when you do something on your phone and when you see it happen on the TV). Miracast will be fine if you're just streaming videos, but if you wanted to do something like gaming, using the HDMI/USB C cable will be a much better option. The main difference between DeX and link to windows is that, with Dex, you need to start it manually, and it appears as a rectangular window with all of the Dex related apps inside the window. With link to windows, it connects automatically and each app you want to control from your phone opens up in its own separate window. Personally, I prefer link to windows since it's automatic and I mainly just use it for messaging. But Dex will be better if you want to open an app from your phone in a much larger window.
A couple of seconds quieter intro music would be ok otherwise viewers will quickly skip forward or reduce the volume, but I don’t think you need any music. It’s the content that matters plus being able to hear it. I hate when a host publishes a good post to spoil it with loud or annoying music, preventing hearing the good information given.
It’s a breath of fresh air that you cover feature and what we can actually do with these devices. Others just talk about camera camera and camera. Most don’t know the capabilities Samsung devices have to offer. And how powerful it really is. Absolutely blows Apple away. Thank you for your hard and “different” coverage of these devices.
Samsung phones have an insane amount of features! I use Modes and Routines on my phone and recently started using good lock. Samsung phones are the best I have the Samsung A52s 5g and A11
I too have been using GoodLock with Modes and Routines on my Z Fold 5! However, there is so many options, I don't know where to continue lol! What kind of routines or modes do you use personally?
@TechisodeTV I'm really surprised that this wasn't an hour long video, there are SO MANY features here that iPhone users can't even dream of... Great job explaining what each and everything does in detail, my mind is blown 🤯 Honestly I've been scrolling through a lot of these menus but haven't known what each of them does so shout out to you for helping me, kudos🎉
INSANE is an understatement for this video. I just received my S24 Ultra. After watching this and the first things to do video, I have my phone pretty well setup. I learned so much from this video.
this is mind blowing. wow. i did not know these things existed. the S pen is like a magic wand. it is cool feature to just move it and the lights turn off. if i show this to kids, they will think its magic. this is really awesome use of a samsung phone.
Facts, I switched over from Samsung note 10 to the iPhone 15 pro Max worst mistake of my life once this phone has run its course I will be going back to android
@@Essela_5056doesnt do the same and iphones lacks shortcuts and those who do t lack are more cumbersome. Source: i have an iphone and spent 8 hours to learn features and shortcuts
The essence of a "Smartphone" lies in its ability to utilize its processor not just for basic applications, which is what sets it apart from Apple devices that prioritize powerful processors for simple tasks and overlook advanced features.
I just changed from a 14 Pro max to S23 Ultra and I far prefer being with Android. I decided to try apple for a whilst, there was a like to like but there was a lot I didn't. That being said, Apple can do these things, too! Apple has the Shortcuts app which has automations (like routines) and shortcuts (which is like modes).
Great Job. I just got my S23 on wednesday and had to reset as migration from iOS was manual and missed everything. One KEY feature for me on iOS was their version of Modes: yet Samsung did a LOT beltter!! Triggers was a SWEET touch!
Modes/Routines is roughly equivalent to Focus/Shortcuts. Nearly everything in this video can be done with an iphone as well. Of course there would be some minor differences, but they are very similar. Both basically perform a series of actions based on input or conditions.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! I been waiting for a video like this. Ty for taking the time to make a detailed and informative video. Btw loved the Bible verse of the day.
Great video! Is there a routine that allows you to send a pre-determined reply to an SMS (eg; "I'm driving and will get back to you soon.") while you're driving?
Great video. I was on the phone with Samsung for an hour yesterday without success and your video explained exactly what I wanted to do. Took me 2 minutes. Do you know how to create a routine that gets around android audio so I can get email notifications?
Long time no see you seem to be doing well. You know I have to say the one thing that keeps me from being all the way team Samsung is the Apple Watch. I have an ultra and it is hands-down, the best smart watch I’ve ever used in my life, and it keeps me from being able to be tied to my galaxy S 22 ultra, which is depressing. I am still glad that I have my S 22 ultra and I use it every day so this is a really hopeful video has all your videos are looking forward to more of them..
I have been using routines for a few years. It great for so much things, but it takes practice. Good Lock adds Routines + for extra features, but again I need to practice.
I'm an android user since Cupcake. I'm sure this uses way more battery than Tasker. Looks cool though, seems like this is why Samsung has has limit what apps can control, especially that I'm not rooting any if my newer devices, even more limited but secure.. Your video is good enough that I just may tryout routines on a device that is haven't set up tasker PROFILES yet.
Is there a routine I can create that will get Bixby to do what Cortana was able to do? Namely, when a text message comes in, Cortana announced the incoming text, would ask me if I wanted to read it or ignore it. If I said "read it", she would read the text and THEN ask if I wanted to reply. If I said, "yes", she asked what I wanted to say. After I dictated the message, she would read it back and ask if it was correct, and then ask if I wanted to send it. I could say "cancel" at any point to stop the flow. THAT is what I need Bixby to do.
Wow... that was such a comprehensive piece. Thanks so much. Trouble is it's confused me more in how I want to set my phone for a specific task. I had a Windows Phone when they were around and the thing I liked about it was if I put my phone down screen first onto a table it muted and just vibrated if a call came through or a notification came through. I'd like to do the same thing but I don't seem to find that option just in the phone settings itself (other than if a call is coming through and you flip the phone onto its screen it supposed to mute the ringtone - never had any success with that). I wonder, how would you go about creating a routine or mode for what I'd like to have happen?? If I want ringtones I'd keep my phone screen facing up but if I want it muted and vibrate only to put my phone screen down on tables (if I'm out at a dinner or in a meeting)? Any advice TechisodeTV or anyone?
Just got the A54 5G and never knew about this feature until i saw somebody elses video about it. My last Samsung phone was the S8. My mind was blown away with this feature and I don't think i'll choose another brand unless they have the same feature as this. I automated alot of things on my phone and it reduced so much time switching things up manually. I find the fun in discovery and try out all the things routines can do. Wish I knew about this sooner. I feel like an novice programmer with it ahaha This does make the "smart phone" so much smarter
Funny thing is while watching your videos, I always think "There's no way he can come up with a video where things can get crazier" And you come out of nowhere like "hold my beer, I'm gonna outdo myself" And it just keeps getting better every single time. Every tech youtuber out there has an S23 Ultra but no one knows more about this phone than you sir. Respect🫡🫡
Very informative video. Thank you very much. I have a question: Are there any settings by which a mode can automatically be turned off after a specific time period?
You can set it to be launched manually. For me, i connect my phone to the car with the cable for connection+charging so it works to add a condition if paired to car
Great video packed with tons of great detail. Still, I am stumped as to how to build a "routine" or "macro" to do a few thigs with one touch. I want to disable microphone, disable camera, and turn screen to always on all in one click. Is it possible?
Thanks for the video. I use routines and one thing that I couldn't figure out is if "power saving" is set to ON in then condition, when the routine ends, "power saving" is not turning off even thought I enabled to reverse everything when routine ends. Is there a suggestion from you?
Sadly, the one thing I really wanted this to work on doesn't. I noticed my Wear app pops up a notification when my Watch 4 is fully charged. So, I TRIED to setup a routine to read the notification out loud if I get a notification from the Galaxy Wearable app with the word "Watch", "fully" or "charged". It's supposed to give me the Edge lighting effect one time, vibrate once, read the selected app notification out loud and show it on the Always On Display. It never works.
ah wow...I'm not the only one who tried this. It's quite difficult. The main issue is trying to find the Wear app as the trigger. It can't be 'exposed' for Routines to 'see' it
Going to give this a try again. Had it disabled for years, since it used to be terrible. I don't understand why good lock isn't part of the standard bixpy package. Seems like a powerful feature that's buried. EDIT: Just played with it, and voice still can't activate these macro commands, still have to manually run them...lame.
Hey, great video!I wasn't able to catch on how to activate multiple conditions to turn on automatically when a mode is enabled. Could you pls mention the video time on it. Thanks!!
if only i can access the developer option with the routine actions. case: i have a non-dex supported samsung, and i want whenever i connect to my screen with a 3-in-1 HDMI converter, i want to change the DPI and then launch a desktop launcher
You absolutely nailed it... " Guru".. I am big fan of your...on this routines can i get notifications on phone in any format voice or text from watch 5 that watch battery is low at 20 % need to charge.. If yes could you please explain how to do it.. Do i need goodlock & routines +.. I will be greatfull.. Thx in advance
I like have the ability to customize what I want but I don't like actually having all the choices because it's way too much to consider.. and I just quit halfway through trying to figure out what I even want to set
WONDERLAND + MODES? Is there a way to set up an animated Wonderland wallpaper as the default home (and/or) lock screen set to a specific mode? For instance, I would like a specific custom Wonderland wallpaper to automatically turn on when I am at work and turn off when I get home. I see how to change the wallpaper to a image in modes, but I don't see any way to access and apply a Wonderland wallpaper from within modes.
Hi, Thanks for the video. Could please suggest any good temperd glass screen protector? I tried so many but none works with the fingerprint sensor even after Re-installing fingerprints.
I've tried the Whitestone Dome screen protector and that worked pretty well in terms of fingerprint readability. Whichever one you go with, just make sure it says "compatible with ultrasonic fingerprint reader"
Maybe I missed it in the video (or it simply doesn't exist) but is there a way to have a single routine that is "if ANY conditions are met THEN..."? The only thing is see are "ALL conditions". It's ok if you can't set it that way but I stole your idea of making sure my volumes are up for important calls and messages. It just seems like you need to make 2 separate routines, 1 for calls and 1 for messages.
Thanks for the great video, full and very informative. I wish Bixby Routines was as wonderful as you state. It’s a great application but still needs a lot of work. There are many failure issues with Bixby Modes and Routines. They initially work then later fail. Routines crossing over a different routine confuses Bixby. So many cannot be trusted if two or more are running at the same time. Mainly starting but not stopping, or making changes then not returning. Modes work best when switching on one at a time. Macro Routines are fine until system updates move section settings macros where linked to.
One suggestion - can you pls make video in such resolution where if i pinch to full screen in samsung device it doesn't crop the content... i mean as this video is for samsung flagship so we can make use of fullscreen mode. TIA
I was expecting to use routines to select some spam sms with some keywords (as in old samsung devices) and delete them right away, but seems that there is no option for that.
If I open routines->if, there is no "context" options for me. Wake up time, before bed, sleeping etc. Is there some specific app or option to enable them? How to make them appear so I can use them?
Nah they aren't. This is basically the Samsung version of Apple Shortcuts. You can do the same type of things on either one. Both are pretty much "if X condition, do Y action(s)".
The VPN "then" options don't work, at least for me. I tried to set it up for my adguard home app based VPN and my Wireguard app VPN, but the phone says something about not working with appbased VPNs. My tablet (A8) can't download (couldn't find) good lock.
Just root your phone, any phone will have powerfull exclusive features, don't know why phone manufacturer have to lock their phone and makes the phone feature less😢
Ihave a Bug with modes and routines. Under routines, the NFC option under IF is not the same you have, but there is an action listed, to write on the NFC tag. This results in a never ending loop.
The way on apple, when you set focus modes, you can have a whole different homescreen set up automatically with that specific focus mode. Can you do that o. Samsung
This is why i love samsung😌
Exactly

Why?
Exactly.

Routines completely solve the issue. Now when my signal strength is 2 bars or less, the routine turn off my wifi and another routine turns it back on, connecting to the strongest signal. Its great. It just works.
Can you share how you set up the second routine to turn it back on?
@ThePCForever I use the 'PLACE' condition. IF arriving home: THEN turn on wifi: turn of mobile data.

Samsung all the way. Great review
Can you remote control a Samsung tablet with a mode or routine? Doesn't look like that's an option. I would love to know how, if it's possible.
Tasker came to samsung
I like have the ability to customize what I want but I don't like actually having all the choices because it's way too much to consider.. and I just quit halfway through trying to figure out what I even want to set
Thanks, however, I have a basic question: Does routine use more battery and affect battery life?
Nope
My phone opens up my car too!!! So you know
Are Modes and Routines automatically backed up?
WONDERLAND + MODES?
Is there a way to set up an animated Wonderland wallpaper as the default home (and/or) lock screen set to a specific mode?
For instance, I would like a specific custom Wonderland
wallpaper to automatically turn on when I am at work and turn off when I get home.
I see how to change the wallpaper to a image in modes,
but I don't see any way to access and apply a Wonderland wallpaper from within modes.
Wow Wow Wow
As usual
Very comprehensive and helpful information Bro
Hi,
Thanks for the video.
Could please suggest any good temperd glass screen protector? I tried so many but none works with the fingerprint sensor even after Re-installing fingerprints.
I've tried the Whitestone Dome screen protector and that worked pretty well in terms of fingerprint readability. Whichever one you go with, just make sure it says "compatible with ultrasonic fingerprint reader"
Can you pliz do a specific video and accplan how you swich off you all room and what you pote on the rotins to do that?!
Maybe I missed it in the video (or it simply doesn't exist) but is there a way to have a single routine that is "if ANY conditions are met THEN..."? The only thing is see are "ALL conditions".
It's ok if you can't set it that way but I stole your idea of making sure my volumes are up for important calls and messages. It just seems like you need to make 2 separate routines, 1 for calls and 1 for messages.
Thanks for the great video, full and very informative. I wish Bixby Routines was as wonderful as you state. It’s a great application but still needs a lot of work. There are many failure issues with Bixby Modes and Routines. They initially work then later fail. Routines crossing over a different routine confuses Bixby. So many cannot be trusted if two or more are running at the same time. Mainly starting but not stopping, or making changes then not returning. Modes work best when switching on one at a time.
Macro Routines are fine until system updates move section settings macros where linked to.
I think Bixby routines was better in that it allowed you to switch from 4G to 5G
One suggestion - can you pls make video in such resolution where if i pinch to full screen in samsung device it doesn't crop the content... i mean as this video is for samsung flagship so we can make use of fullscreen mode. TIA
Thanks for this helpful video! ❤
8:07 his under the thumb routine.
I was expecting to use routines to select some spam sms with some keywords (as in old samsung devices) and delete them right away, but seems that there is no option for that.
samsung makes life easier sometimes 😮
Hi🖖 What's the app shows the verse of the day on your screen? There are tons of them, but what did you choose? And why exactly this one?
Why button trigger option is gone after the update.
Great Vid thanks.
Is there a routine to unlock the phone?
Very thorough and thought provoking! I need to create some more routines. 😊
How do you use the fingerprint as an if condition?
If I open routines->if, there is no "context" options for me. Wake up time, before bed, sleeping etc. Is there some specific app or option to enable them? How to make them appear so I can use them?
You can make it open up all ifs
Apple is far far far far behind on this functionality. Thanks for sharing with practical examples
Nah they aren't. This is basically the Samsung version of Apple Shortcuts. You can do the same type of things on either one. Both are pretty much "if X condition, do Y action(s)".
@@stephencooper3583nah they are pretty much limited.
The VPN "then" options don't work, at least for me. I tried to set it up for my adguard home app based VPN and my Wireguard app VPN, but the phone says something about not working with appbased VPNs.
My tablet (A8) can't download (couldn't find) good lock.
Just root your phone, any phone will have powerfull exclusive features, don't know why phone manufacturer have to lock their phone and makes the phone feature less😢
I am missing the entire 'context' category under "IF" section..... Anyone know why?
I'm also missing context. Have you discovered why? Thank you.
Why??? Use Google Voice by turning on Registar and tapping the back of your phone 2 times!!! Stop the rest of the garbage
Apple, did you say something?
Awesome Video it been a while. Thanks so much for sharing ✌️
you're good at what you do, cheers!
So this app does basically the same as Shortcuts and Focus modes do on iPhone?
It does way more better than Shortcut and Focus mode on iPhone
Nope CRAPLE phone just sits there stupidly
Wife priority definitely is a life saver
Anyone managed to find how this one was set up? Can't find how to make this routine.
How do you block incoming call during a set time? For example your boss or coworker
Ihave a Bug with modes and routines. Under routines, the NFC option under IF is not the same you have, but there is an action listed, to write on the NFC tag. This results in a never ending loop.
Do you have a solution?
The way on apple, when you set focus modes, you can have a whole different homescreen set up automatically with that specific focus mode. Can you do that o. Samsung
Yes
@@ltcolfrankslade. how
Instead of tapping on the text just long press on the toggle button. Skips the step of having to tap on details.
Hey man great video thanks! How can I preset home&work? Couldn't find it anywhere
