    Here's another tip which I just found out myself. When you swipe right in your home button at the navigation bar and hold it, it brings up the recent apps and you can slide more to the right to go to your other recent or just do a quick swipe right and it will open up the most recent instead of double tapping the recent button

    Your top 20+ were a lot better than many of the others...convinced me to subscribe to your channel. That said, I followed one bit of advice and got in a little trouble. Regarding Special Access -> Optimize Battery Usage. You said to turn it to All Apps and then change what's needed. Well, there's a gazillion things listed there and now I wish I'd left this in whatever default state it was in and just scrolled through to find any that I might have needed turned on. How can I get this back to the way they were set when I got the phone? Thanks.

    Hello, got a question. Got my new s9 like 2 days ago, but how did you change your button layout to a stop and play layout?

    Good information, I only wish he would speak and move through screens more slowly, I had to rewind a couple times to keep up.

    This video was super helpful, thank you! I've got a question, tho, and this could be for you or anyone in the comments who have the same "issue" or have a solution for it... I don't know if you mentioned the Edge Lighting in another video, but I think it's a pretty neat feature on the S9+, but for the LIFE of me I can't get it to work when my phone it off and I know it's supposed to since it's an option. I've literally gone through and tried every setting combination that I can think of. I know it's a common problem from reading other threads, but I'm wondering if maybe you know how to actually get it to work. It works when my screen is on and I'm using the phone, but it doesn't work when it's off which is when it would come in the most handy, I think. I feel like maybe it's an issue Samsung has to patch up, but figured I'd ask just in case!

    It's so frustrating because I'm almost positive it worked out of the box and then it updated and didn't work anymore. So I'm thinking Samsung has to fix it? I have no idea but I really want it to work. :(

    I'm not really encountering the same issue. Have you configured which apps use the edge lighting? It's in the same menu and I use a few different apps with it. Also I changed the pattern and width of the light to see it better. It works with the screen both on and off!

    Maybe you have to set it up again in setting for screen allways on (that setting where you see time and home button, even if you turn off screen and lock your phone.)
