I will be switching from an iPhone 6 to the Samsung galaxy s8 plus and I must say these videos have given me great confidence to proceed without feeling like I will be disadvantaged due to lack of know how re contacts, messaging, transferring music etc. Thanks man 😎✌🏻
Soo useful for a newbie like me. Too much to swallow at one sitting but I've bookmarked and will be coming back for snacks. Thanks for keeping the intro music brief.
I need you to help me.I was moving an app but it always send me at the home screen where the app drawer is but i need to move it at the very main where the app drawer is already pressed.I really need that😢
I am not sure I understand. Try to add the app from the App Drawer again. If you long press the app and hold it on the side of the screen it should move it over.
How applied these icons? The S7's Nougat icons are more better that S8's stock icons. I like these icons, please tell me :( , I don't like the S8's icons stock
+Jamie Dela Cruz The best way to fix that would be to reset the default settings on the TouchWiz launcher. To do this go into your phone Settings > Apps > TouchWiz Home > Storage > Clear Data. That will setting the home screen back to how it was when you first were using the phone and should fix the issue.
I just purchased a Samsung S20, and I could not find the apps I downloaded, then I found the Settings at the very top of the screen, but I am NOT able to transfer to the main screen.
how can I add the date and time onto the home screen (on the weather widget on the home screen) - does it come with a stock date/time add into this widget? annoying not having it pre-set on the main screen
+Ellana Wenborn Are you on the S8? I believe it is this way because of the Always On Display already showing the time constantly. You can add a clock widget that shows the date and time, it is a seperate widget from the weather.
I have Galaxy 7. I did a screen shot of the temp. to send to a friend. My home screen has date,time,city,temp. I don't know what I did, but after sending it to a friend & went back to my home screen, my normal home screen was gone. Even the google box to type questions in, etc.
Help. How do I turn back how the app icons as before? What happened is I need to long press the app icon on home screen to select a task. I want click an app icon and direct me to a certain task like the phone icon to directly dial a number. Please.
How do you put the original home screen back to your phone because I have a Samsung Galaxy s8+ and I put a theme and now I want to put it back to the original theme when I first got it helppp!!! Pleaseeeeee
If you pinch the screen and go to Home Screen settings there is an option to lock the home screen. Turn that off and then you will be able to move them.
I have the weather (Temp) in large letters on the Home Screen and the time in super small letters in the upper left corner. How do I swap these so the time is in the middle with large letters?
Wow quick response thank you! I live in Canada. When I pinch the screen and go left the only thing it has is Bixby which I turned off but other than that I can't move to the left.
Thank you for this video! I was wondering how you can go left on your phone but I can't it only slides to the right and then I have to go back but I can't slide all around like I could with my old Samsung phone. You were able to move your screen to the left of the home screen.
I old note 4 had a gallery widget that was really useful it would put a picture on the home screen . But now on my note 8 i dont have that . I tried everything but could not find it . Plz anyone help.
Hello Brett! Thanks! Great information and just subbed! Question: Have Note 4, I have set up many custom folders on my home screen containing many URLs to websites I frequent goes missing (that is I did not knowingly delete it), are you familiar with how to recover it? Thank you for any insight you or anyone else on here has!
Im switching over from iphone to an android. I use notepad on iphone. Does android have notepad. If so will my notes come over to an android phone. I don’t have a new phone yet not sure which phone i will get. Im watching your videos to see which one suits me best.
Do you use the built-in Notes app (note, there is a difference between Notes and Notepad) or do you use a 3rd party notes app?. To my knowledge, there's no way to transfer content from the built-in Notes app to an Android device.
How do I hide apps from the lock screen. When your phone is locked but it gets your messages show up and u don't want anyone to see who text you. My camera icon is also showing I like to hide all this how do I go by. I want them on the sc4een where I use my pass word to retrieve. I've got galaxy s8
Long press on a blank spot on the home screen. A pop up should show up, select Widgets and then find Google and you will see the search bar. Long press on it and then drop the search bar on the home screen where you want it.
By default you can change the icons by searching for Icon Frames in the settings and changing the setting. The other option is to download an app that lets you fully customize the phones Icon pack.
how do you get a revolving screen, meaning I have 5 screens with apps but when you scroll all the way either left or right it stops. Used to be able to go through them and it would go through them all like a revolving circle. Now it stops when you get to the end of the screens. how do i set that up?
+brandon hein So it depends on what carrier your phone is on. Some have that and some don't. Also, try pinch the screen and turning off Fliboard or Bixby Home on the far left screen.
Brett, I want to copy folders to a different phone. I've got 16 folders with something like a hundred web links inside of them and my brother wants exactly the same thing in his phone without tediously creating them one-by-one all on his. Brett do you have any ideas?
+Ray Conger If you both have Samsung this should work. Use this video and transfer with Smart Switch. When it comes to selecting the content only choose the Home Screen. That should work... th-cam.com/video/bOaOney1e1Y/w-d-xo.html
Hi Brett, thanks for suggesting a more careful use of SmartSwitch. Am hoping your ideal will work. It seems like the Home Screen box was checked when I did SmartScreen on my problem before. However, I note In your URL Video: If I que to 3:49 while you are talking about something else it reads: HOME SCREEN " Wallpapers, folders, widgets and app shortcuts" Also noted In video the sending phone is a Samsung S6 edge and receiving phone is Galazy S8. On my setup I note that instead of HOMES CREEN... my sending phone says WALLPAPER "Lock screen and Home screen wallpapers." Also there are no choices under it. Both my send and receive phones are Samsung Galaxy S5 with sending device on Verison and receiving device Sprint. With SmartSwitch version 3.5.00.19. Well I tried it anyway selecting WALLPAPER. Even did it with some of the weblinks brought out of a folder they were in - directly out on the screen or "desktop." Unfortunately None of the weblinks made the jump, that being the objective. So Brett, what do you think? Are my phones too old,?or are my app versions too old? Do you have other ideas?
Have since been on chat with www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/smart-switch. Although more HomeScreen content can be transferred with the PC software, weblinks cannot be transferred with SmartSwitch. whether by smartphone app or PC version.
Khaled Benmiloud When I went to change the wallpaper there is a Themes option. That will allow you to changes icons from packs that are in Galaxy app store.
Marion Soldano When I go to add the search bar on my S8 plus it shows as a square but then when I put it down it gives the rounded corners. Does yours not do that? It should have come standard. Is you Google app up to date?

One more question 😁 can you change the vibration "style" or "pattern" for notifications/txt messages? The vibration pattern for messages is quick .. wouldn't mind if it could be a longer vibrate so I could hear it/feel it when it's in my pocket or whatever 😀
+Ellana Wenborn Yes you can. Go into the phone settings and go to Sounds and Vibrations. You then can change Vibration Intensity and Vibration Pattern.
+Erick Almeida Hey man, we all need to start somewhere. 7.5k people beg to differ. I also have helped a bunch leave iPhone so that is where you need start. What would you like to see more of?
You are a nice person and I feel bad for being rude :/ I am sorry! I would like to see more hidden stuff or how to add grid to the home screen to have as many app as I can in one page, or how to make bixby work in ireland as I can't even play with her :(
I mean more apps than they allow you to have in one page, coz I am already using the max capacity in one page, like I have a Xaumi max and I have 48 apps in one page, would love to have that on the galaxy s8+

BRETT, Do you have an idea for the best app to find your parked car for S8? I really appreciate your easy to follow instructions!!
