- In this video, I will show you a powerful hidden feature that acts as a kill switch to turn of all the sensors on your smartphone.
This will apply to any Samsung or Android smartphone running Android 10 or later, such as the Note 20 Ultra, Note 10 Plus, Galaxy S20, and Galaxy S10 series, etc.
Let's dive in.

Bro there are a lot of options in developers mode please make a video to use all those features
Yes, time to explore... haha..
Yes! Please show us what all those others are!
Go to your developer options it's the 11th one down below demo mode click on it and it will open it and at the bottom you can see sensor off option click on that and it should turn it on
Those other options are only useful for developers. If you try them they will probably annoy you.
@@HarryWexler i like the force dark mode option
Me: *toggle"
FBI agent: crap....
Best dam thing I have seen on any smartphone
Thank you. now still waiting for 2.5 for S10+
Same here
Got it last night South East Europe s10 try with Smart Switch i had the update on smart switch but it was not showing on the phone then later that day it showed.
@@MA-cx9os how do you check it
@@michaelofori8361 Search Smar Switch on google download install, then open it up and conect you phone with a cable to pc the program will recognise it and it will tell you if there is an update.
Note 10+ got One UI 2.5
This why I love Samsung. You are truly the admin. Thanks, Saki for unlocking another nugget of knowledge.
I could see some turning off sensors on someone's phone disabling the camera and they would never know how to fix it unless they watched this. Lol
Your gf is a good victim.
Factory reset ..
@@kj8491 na you tell her before it gets to that point.
If that happens then you probably shouldn't be letting that someone use your phone
So it's a real airplane mode ×2
Airplane mode is to turn off mobile data, wifi, and bluetooth. This turns off just the sensors.
More like Airplane Mode Lite
×100 😁😂
It's nothing like airplane mode
This is Space Shuttle mode XD
Software toggles for hardware are never more than a false sense of control and security.
Amen
The thing is, that actually forces sensor data to be unreadable by apps and other software. Camera app won't work, snapchat can't get an image and cpu-z(diagnostic tool) won't be able to read ANY sensor data. It actually works.
Without hardware control, this is still better than not being able to turn the sensors off at all. This also works at the OS level, so it is not useless. However, the use case for this is extremely limited, since if you're someone who will ever need this feature, you'd probably be using a phone with hardware switches.
Super handy if you're going to commit a crime and you don't want to leave an incriminating data trail. Thanks sakitech!
I mean if you're going to commit a crime and you're thinking that far ahead you'd use a burner anyway or leave the phone at home
Brilliant find.great way of battery saving n extended battery life
Now waiting for a way to keep UHD with 120Hz refresh rate! Good tips 👍
Get a oppo find x2 pro of one+ 8 pro haha untill then it's not happening on Samsung
It doesn't seem possible considering the display only has one MIPI lane. Not high enough throughput to enable that.
Well uhd means 4k and the most a Samsung phone can do is 2k or 2960x1440 i think you meant qhd.
Wonderful!!thanks for the information Saki! I will turn this on when I sleep at night or when I want absolute privacy. This is awesome! Keep it coming...all the juicy info on samsung galaxy phones...i love my note 20 ultra!! 💯👍👌
Lucky man 👍
Golly. I wonder when something like this will be available for iPhones. Ha, ha, ha! OMG, I can't stop laughing!
Bahahaha!
bhawahahahaaaa
This should be enabled everytime you go in a business meeting
I have the Samsung Note 9 and let me tell you that it bypasses the camera and other apps that you were mentioning on here. However, I did notice that if you're using dictation, it will not let you use it because it will mute your microphone. So that is an awesome feature. Thanks for the info.
Update?
I use the developers options to do the following.......
1. Make the phone stay on while charging
2. Turn down the animation scale to. 05 on EVERYTHING.... Makes the phone operate faster!
3. Show taps on the screen.
THANK MAN FOR SHOWING ME DEVELOPERS MODE!!! I FUCKING LOVE IT!!
1:20 instructions start. You're welcome
I've been tried that and it's proven save a lot battery usage on my s20+ exynoss 😁😁😁. Thanks
Im gonna try that today but i have an s20 ultra, i'll see how much battery it will save 🙂

The fbi would like to track you
Me: turn off all the sensors
fbi: _triangulates you via cell towers_
Me: _breaks phone_
It's kind of scary how much we're spied on by our phones!
It is when you're paranoid
@@richardikin No research how much GOOGLE SPIES ON PEOPLE THROUGH THEIR PHONES TO GET PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR MARKETING AND TO SELL TO 3RD PARTIES COMPANIES FOR ADVISTIMENT!
Saki, your videos are amazing, I've learned so much from you! Thank you thank you thank you
This is why I love samsung so much. Thank you, your vids make me love my phone that much more. ❤️ I've subscribed
Actually it's an Android thing, not Samsung's!
Don't make me laugh 🤣🤣🤣,it is an android feature ,not Samsung feature
Its not a samsung thing it's a Android 10 thing. Its more phones around besides Samsung
samsung made most of the feature that is now on android 10 so stfu and admit it.
@@Retronyx this one wasnt tho, stop acting like samsung phones are superior. typical fanboy
You could still be tracked, to all those thinking this takes you "off the grid"..
Only way of going anonymous device wise, is to get rid of your "smartphone" altogether.
And from what I've read, it's possible other features such as your microphone, camera, touchscreen, etc etc stop operating properly.
Once you've disabled it than goes to enable it, so be mindful.
I wouldn't suggest bothering these options, if you aren't versed on how to make them work once they've stopped.
It's not called "developer options" by coincidence. 🤦🤦✌
Totally agree mate
Try a de-googled phone.
Shut up fed
I have a Samsung Note 8, Android 9. After spending some time unsuccessfully trying to follow your instructions to make the "sensors off (and on)" option available, I am concluding that option is not available on my phone. I did not hear you mention what version of Android or Samsung phone was necessary to use your tip. In the future, would you just give us broad details like that? I'd appreciate it!
I have watched your videos ever since I got my first Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and have learned a lot from you! Thanks very much!!
My mobile doesnt have that option either.
Glad I found this video again. I needed this button on my new Galaxy phone
There is a reason why it's hidden and called Developer options
Its the ultimate security 🤣👍
Make sure you are home b4 the street lights come on.
The reason is probably, Samsung doesn't want people to accidently trigger that and then think their phone is broken when camera and mic stop working. People are dumb and that would happen :/
I paid $1300 I want TOTAL ACCESS TO ALL HIDDEN OPTIONS💯
@@kennethburton9259 well, you have, you just have to find them first ;)
Saki, FYI
When you turn off all tracking sensors in your smartphone you are also deactivating the Bluetooth hand-free sensor in your microphone, thus while tracking sensors are turned off, outside callers will not be able to hear what you talk to them while using a Bluetooth headset. So for those who use Bluetooth hand-free headsets to answer calls can be affected. This happened to me while using a Plantronics Bluetooth hands-free headset.....
Happen to me to
I use Samsung wireless headphones and I never had an issue, and my sensors are always turned off
I came to this page when my friend was playing Mexican music one day and then later that day TH-cam music began automatically playing Mexican music in my suggested songs. I found this very alarming.
I'm glad I found you every time I'm looking for something or have a question and I'm really trying to hard to find somebody good that I can understand we're not talking too fast you're not talking too add match my personality😅
That was actually useful, thanks Saki!
Would be nice to give some permission per app and/or per sensor, like for example switching between portrait and landscape (youtube/video player/gallery).
You can now 😊
Thank you, after being able to keep 120Hz with batterysaver-mode, and now this censor-toggle, I subscribe.
Samsung phones are good, but they eat battery, which makes people nervous.
You know, it doesn't feel good when you see a charged phone dropping in battery by the minute.
So, thank you! New sub!
How do I download this onto my Note9?
Thank you Saki, I found it! You have taught me so much about my phone. Your videos are percious and easy to I follow. I use them often to run my phone to it's optimal use!
"Allows you to shut off all the tracking sensors..."
Allegedly.
Yes this really works
Good to know, thank you!
This is beautiful. Can this be used in the bixby routines ?
I also want know it! How use in bixby?
Me in the corner of the classroom turning on my extra secret developer options once again
Can't think of a time I will ever need this.
Sensors use battery and some apps that don't need it use them a lot. My custom ROM has a setting to disable sensors by app. E.g. I have it disabled for Google Maps.
@@myron7642 do you have to turn it on when using certain apps?
@@rickrickboom5423 I only have it blocking for Maps at the moment. Going to try turning it on for all and see. One app I could think of that might need sensors would be fitness apps
Well I think in certain cases it's good for the phone 2 be able to track. Two recent serious crimes were solved using Google mob tracking tech. In 1 case a person was proven innocent when the perpetrator's mob placed him @ scene of crime. Scary stuff I know but sometimes the tech can be used for good. 🤔👌
Solid find, thank you! Have you found any way to toggle the screen time out?
WOW I followed your instructions to the letter & it worked perfectly, I’m on note 9 by the way, Thanks
my Note 9 won't let me. It states "Developer Mode Has Already been turned on"
Yeah this video is so useful. Thanx! I just switched to a new phone and forget how to set up the sensor toggle. Thanx again for the reminder!
I didn't know for this option. Thank you.
Thx Sakitech. Wondering if when button turned on to stop cookies trackers, will it limit me from websites that use cookies because they are also a form of tracking ?
This is absolutly fantastic! Thank you Saki (note9)
If I bought a $1000 phone I want all the features to work. But this video is still good to know
Thanks for this recommendation, I really like your quick tips and tricks you post. Keep it up
That's truly amazing....
Thank you so much
Thank you for this. It's been a long time since I've come across a video that really showed me something I didn't know of. God bless you sir!
You are a STAR.....many thanks for that hint. We are fed up with communication companies exploitation.....
First, thanks for the tip.
Second: I can't see that option in my phone (Galaxy Note FE).
How can I turn it on!?
I turn off animations in developer mode and it makes the phone wayyyy more responsive and fast
Enabled this as soon as I saw this video for the first time. Worked great for months until yesterday and for the life of me I couldn't find out why my camera wouldn't turn on. Then I discovered my voice to text didn't work, then I discovered that my go auto rotate didn't work. I don't know how it got activated but I couldn't figure it out until just a few moments ago. Long story short, if you enable this feature, make sure to keep tabs on it.
Thank you!! I've been trying to figure this out for a week now and it worked! You're a lifesaver
Always great tech info here! Thanks!
Work perfectly on my Samsung S10 how long do you leave it on for when using it
2:54
That's the recommended use for toggling sensors off.
You don't want to do this during the day as when someone calls you, they won't be able to hear you.
@@thejacksonwang nice 1🤙 for that info 👍
@@jimmydmichael5164 No problem, glad to help 😁
@@thejacksonwang appreciate it a lot thanks a lot 🤙🤙🤙👍
This is cool, but out of curiosity, what scenarios would someone want to do this?
Thank you sir
I have been struggling to find a way to turn it off but I finally did thanks to your video
Man, I opened up those "Developer Options," and I found all those cool switches. So I wondered what all those things did, so I started switching them on one after the other and clicking on stuff. After a few minutes, my phone started vibrating real strong and making all kinds of weird noises. After moving some more of those switches, it kind of settled down, but then it started showing videos - like reruns of the Kardashians in a loop. Now I have to fix it or keep watching that stuff when I have things to do.
Gahahahahahahaha for realll?!!🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆😅😅
@@stickboyfpv4742 😄
That Was and interesting información i already aplyed. Thanks sakitec.
I don't have "quick settings tile" As an option.
Only in android 10
Whats your instagram honey???
@@cacadordorio wtf man
@@shazzy8679 he horny
@@cacadordorio lmaoooooo
It works. Of course the mic is off amd you answer a phone call you'll have to turn sensors back on but 1 extra step is not a lot compare to the security that offers. Sometimes you're just browsing and want some privacy
You are my favorite phone teacher! 🙂 👍
Not seeing this option on my s8+ SM-G955F :(
It is up to date however.
Yes but s8 doesnt run android 10, it stops at android 9. You need android 10
Do we need to re-enable it everytime when we need a call ?
Yes, cuz the voice and volume is muted until yu dnt switch it bck on
But in my phone mic works for calls with option turned on, and not on any other apps
@@raisalraizal8188 Then it would be great 👍... Otherwise it is an inconvenience
@@mrunknown3860 which phone are u using?
I am using Redmi Note 4 with Resurrection Remix 8.5.8 (Android 10) Custom Rom
@@raisalraizal8188 That's great...Btw..are there any major bugs?
I'm currently using Vivo V3... Though it's a Chinese brand I have to admit that it's quality is awesome and is working perfectly till now (I'm not a hardcore gamer, though)...I'm now waiting for M51 launch... that's why I'm interested in this video 😁
Very good information. Thanks
Awesome video bro ! Been Waiting fort this ! Please make a video in other options on the developer mode, thank you
Initially, I kept on saying that I couldn't find the icon on the S20 Ultra!
But then I was relieved despite that I got an error message stating that Development was already activated of how to install Sensors off.
Thanks for providing an excellent tip!
NB! there is a problem with enabling Sensors off, and that is it stops me from using voice control to Set the; Alarms, Stopwatch, and Timer
I shall just switch off the permission and hope that it will prevent apps from having access to voice recognition etcetera in the background!
Let me know if it will work?
I get all the way to "Quick settings developer tiles" and the "Sensors Off" is not there below "Winscope trace". I guess Android removed it?
Same - it's not there
It's becoz your device must be old wait for a update that resolves it
I found it
Was on mine
I had Developer options installed already but it wasn't there. I had to turn it off and on and viola there it is!
Great to use this feature. Thank you Saki.🙏🙏🙏
Thanks from India 🇮🇳
Google still knows where you are and where you're going by using GPS, WiFi or celular connections.
You might has well turn off your phone when you don't want to be tracked.
Unless you can remove the battery there is no real effect from turning it off.
@@towlife270 is that true of all phones?, or just those manufactured by Chinese companies?
@@ElTuco Phones don't have a geopolitical compass - a phone is a phone is a phone. If your mobile is turned on, even if it's locked and even if it's someplace where there's nothing to feasibly track, like the inside of a pocket, it's constantly seeking for new cell phone tower signals and, in doing so, advertises your position. No matter if you're using a Pixel, an Xperia or an iPhone. Turning your cell phone off kills its seeking ability, but then you can't make calls seeing as you aren't hooked to a network.
For a mobile phone to work as intended, it *has* to track, log and broadcast your position to a signal-provider; or else you'd have to pull the "mobile" out of "mobile phone". That's without mentioning how searching for a non-Chinese phone is a futile effort - even iPhones contain parts that are sources across the greater Asian subcontinent. The whole "Huawei is spying on us with their 5G towers!" nonsense isn't really born out of security concerns, it's more of a nationalistic outreach by the US government to maintain the relative independence of its data infrastructure. Even then, it sugar-coats the fact that Washington might've kicked Huawei out of the American infrastructure, it doesn't change the fact that most cell phone towers depend on components that globalization sources for us.
By and large, cutting off service providers won't keep your data safe. What will is working with an ISP and mobile provider that values your privacy as a customer, and that won't blow a gasket if you, say, occasionally use a VPN. Besides, I'd only ever recommend going Incognito for personal reasons, ranging from sessions with your online bank to, erm, quality time spent on one's lonesome, if you catch my drift.
Everything else can be carried out in the open relatively safely. Now, if privacy *really* grinds your gears, then your best option would be to nuke all of your Social Media presences, or use aliases.
@@McSquiddington Google is tracking your device even if it is in airplane mode and off.
@@rickdc7968 How does that work? You'd figure I need to emit a signal to be traced, and a phone that's turned off is, well, off. It's dead, figuratively speaking.
I can understand someone being able to trace me to the last tower I accessed, but they wouldn't be able to be more precise if my device is powered off.
2:49 On my S10+, the camera app initially loads (probably because I use Nova Launcher), but the screen is all black. The only problem: After turning off "Sensor off", the auto rotate takes a little bit of time to reenable.
Gyroscope also gets turn off thats why
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH BRO I BE WATCHING ALL THESE OTHER VIDEOS AND NONE OF THEM WORKED TYSMMM
Thank you for the tip sakitech 👍👏much appreciated 🙏 👍 👏
Once you turn on "sensors off" in developers options, you can't turn it back off from there. It has to be turned off in the quick panel. Everything should work again.
Would i be able to receive calls and messages like WhatsApp, etc
probably not if whatsapp needs those permissions to stalk you and stuff lol
He said it in video wifi Bluetooth you have to do seperate
Bro, even instagram doesnt work while tryna do a voice and video call.
Just tried you need to toggle everytime so dosnt worth it but cool nonetheless
@@SuperMan19867 tried on my phone and even after turning on the option ,the mic works only for inbuilt calling.
And access is disabled for all other apps
God bless you brother. For giving us TRUTH.🙏👍👍👍....what a ridiculous world it has turned into.
Ready on in my s20 plus 5g . Thanks saky💪😎
My phone is using Android 9 and this feature isn't available. I'm guessing it's an Android 10 option.
Don't have the option as well. On Android 9
I have an S9 and, as soon as I touch "about phone" once, it opens it. I can't even tap it 7 times 🤔
@@c.r.edmister5223 Guess it's only applied on Android 10
This setting messed up the vibrations on my phone, and now my keyboard will not vibrate when I type. Does anyone know how to fix this?
@Ash Russell didn't work
@@ThePCForever turn of then on and restart if it doesnt work then ur doing something wrong
@@johnwheels89 Tried everything, keyboard vibration doesn't work unless I turn on notification vibrations which I never did in the past. I'd rather not have keyboard vibrations than to live with annoying vbibrations every time I receive a text.
Go to keyboard settings, and turn on vibrations while sound off. It's not a bug, it's just that you never noticed that silent mode also disables keyboard vibration.
@@Brain_pocketer Doesn't work. I'm never on silent mode anyways. I'm using Swiftkey btw.

Thanks Bro, Helped Me A Lot 👍
This is cool but can't see how I would use it unless commiting a crime or doing something dodgy.
Thank you for this information. Absolutely fantastic work
Wow great stuff, thanks Saki! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I find this type of video very helpful, please continue doing this.
Awesome information master 🙏🏻
Oh brother thanks plz keep going I'll share this vedio and subscribe for u don't stop your great work ,
Guys let's appreciate him
Just what doctor ordered, thanks!
Wish I had this on my note 8.
This would be great for perventing ads that are based on what your camera sees or microphone listens every day.
Thank you for keeping everyone update with the new 2.5. Im loving it since the update. Where did you find that wallpaper at?
Thanks man. I've been so busy this year I haven't even gotten to play around with my s20 ultra settings.

Thank you for the information, and the subtitile 👍
Do u use it all the time? Do u recommend it all the time unless you are using your camera? Thanks for the tip u are awesome!
Great info, man....thanks!....and keep up with this content.
thankyou brother what a legend
Cool feature. Android Developers Nailed it this time
I just tried it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2019) and it worked! 😁
Sir You are amazing. Thank You very much 😊
Hey guys it's sock from socky tech here
wow this is a cool tip. another feature turned off is face unlock. great!
