you what that's like here's our recent apps like what we're used to seeing on the Galaxy s23 here's our home and this one takes us back there's a lot of functionality built into the Samsung goodlock modules you definitely want to get that downloaded and installed with this next tip don't sleep on Samsung modes and routines hop back into settings modes and routines let's go ahead and set set up a new useful routine so you get an idea of what this is all about so you're going to go ahead and hit the plus sign real quick and what this presents to us is an if condition followed by then so what this is all about is basically simple programming what it's saying is if this event happens so it could be if a time a day happens if your battery percentage gets to a certain level if you leave your home Wi-Fi network you need one of those type of situations then you're going to have your phone do something that's what routines is all about let's go ahead and set up a sample routine right now we're going to go ahead and tap on if and what we're going to say is we're going to go all the way down here and we're going to pick app opened so we're going to go ahead and pick from a list of apps and I'm going to go ahead and pick maps and what I'm looking to do is preserve our location so what I'm doing is selecting Maps I'm hitting done and then we're presented with the then condition what I'm going to say here is then I want to go down here a little bit and what I'm looking for is location and I want to tap on this and we're going to go ahead and leave this on setting we're going to click done or tap done I should say and then when the routine ends set action we can take a look at it and it's going to return the status of location to what it was prior to the event so if I have my location turned off and I open up maps it's going to turn the location on and then when I'm done with maps it's going to turn location back off and what's cool is once you're done with setting up this routine is we can go here and we can add additional conditions like another app open like let's say you want location to be on when you have your bank app open and Maps open you can go ahead and add another application so this allows you to fine-tune what's going to be on and off on your device for a particular situation for this next tip let's go ahead and improve our display settings back into

the s24 ultra back into settings Advanced features then you want to tap on s pin scroll down just a little bit tap on more s pin settings this first option here keep s pin connected so there's a lot of people that have complained in the past especially with the s23 ultra about the s pin air actions not working and that's because the s pin keeps getting disconnected we can go ahead and turn this toggle on and that's going to force that connection to stay alive between your Spin and your s24 Ultra while you're here go ahead and turn this toggle on as well warn if SP pin is left behind this has happened to me before in a grocery store a lady actually pointed down to me and said sir you dropped something out of your phone and lo and behold it was my s pin so if you turn this option on you're

camera application let's go into settings scroll down until you see camera assistant scroll down towards the bottom camera timeout the default is 2 minutes I personally like to up this to 10 minutes and what this is all about is when you have your camera open and it's sitting here ready to take a picture by default if you don't do anything if you don't interact with your camera meaning let's say you're setting up your s24 Ultra on a tripod you're trying to get some product photography and getting things in Focus well if you don't touch your camera within a 2-minute period it turns off you lose all your settings that you've been working on you're right back to square 1 but by upping that time out you can now have up to 10 minutes before your camera will turn off for this next tip let's
