Wake up Bixby with the power button

One of the most annoying features on modern Samsung Galaxy phones is Bixby. This virtual assistant often shows up in some places that you may not want, especially the power button.

By default, holding down the power button wakes up Bixby. This is annoying for a few reasons. Firstly, it's not the behavior most users expect when pressing the power button. Second, you may not want to use Bixby.

Solved the problem by going to Settings > Advanced Features > 'Side Key' > setting the action for the 'Press and Hold' option to ' Power Off Menu'.

Battery life can make or break your positive experience with your phone. The manufacturers know this and they do everything they can to improve it, even at the expense of other things.

Samsung phones are famous for their 'feature' that automatically disables background apps in the name of optimizing battery life. This can lead to you missing important notifications and apps not working as efficiently as they should. Of course, it's not always necessary to turn off background apps. The good news is that you can completely turn off this battery optimization feature.

'Clean up' the Quick Settings menu

The Quick Settings menu on Samsung phones is a bit different from other Android devices. By default, there are a lot of options crammed here. Taking a few minutes to 'clean up' the Quick Settings menu can greatly improve your experience.
