***As many have noted BK Package Disabler is currently removed on US Play Store, I have no idea why, I asked Google but obviously probably won't get a response. you can use Package Disabler Pro as an alternative, linked below. It does the same thing, just not as good a UI in my opinion.***
Package Disabler Pro: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.singleplay&hl=en
Text list for this video can be found here: Text list here: bit.ly/2Ii7xFQ (APP LINKS BELOW)

Jeff Springer can you advise what the launcher is called please and does the numbers on apps work like emails and what's app etc
Google play says bk disabler not available in US? What's a good one that is?
Action launcher 3.
I'm in the US, working fine for me...
I'm getting the same thing. says it isn't available in the US.

Thanks dude
On my Note 8 BxActions works instantly, what you need to do in order to improve its speed and enable other options such as going immersive mode in any application is that you need to give it some permissions via ADB on a computer, the application will actually guide you through it, once you open the application touch the "buttons" option and it will tell you how to enable it.
Yeah I'm aware. That's a bit much for most beginners so I'll probably put the command line stuff in my advanced tips video.
Thanks for this WONDERFUL presentation! You've given me even MORE REASONS to 💖 my S9!
You are probably the most in depth, informative review channel. That's why I watch everything you out out. Great work keep it up!
Thanks!!
Great videos, just ordered an S9+ - helpful info for when it arrives, thanx
Super helpful app you suggested for the Google assistant. Free too. Question though, is there a way to fix the lag for the camera focus when opening the camera app?
Awesome video, subscribed.
Hi Jeff, great video, thanks! I was wondering one thing though (totally unrelated), on my notification center I can´t make the mobile data appear. Any thoughts?
Great video and useful information. I definitely want to map that Bixby button for something else. Quick question...Is it me or the S9 Plus doesn't recognize the "Hey Google" command all the time?
Hey bro, great video. What do you think about UAG case? I'm thinking between that one and Spigen Rugged Armor. Thanks.
They're awesome, UAG is one of my favorite brands. I'll have a review on those soon.
Accidentally triggering bixby bothers you, but somehow you have no problem with accidentally triggering Google assistant with that bixby botton several times a day?
but I actually use Google Assistant...
Jeff Springer but the comment was about accidentally triggering it not if u use it or not
To be fair, whether he uses it or not makes a huge difference and does answer the question. For someone who is using Google Assistant a lot and never uses Bixby, accidentally triggering Bixby feels annoying and disruptive every single time - whereas you've probably triggered Google Assistant 20-30 times intentionally for every accidental trigger. While you have the same frequency of accidental triggers, the perceived annoyance changes drastically.
Daniel Olai Danielsen no it really doesn't and that makes no sense. Just cause you use something doesn't change the fact that an accidental trigger is an accidental trigger.
It has the same 'accidental trigger rate' as my volume and power button. It really does make a big difference to me whether I get 5 annoying, interrupting Bixby triggers out of 5 total presses of the button during the day, or 5 somewhat less annoying and interrupting GA triggers during a day where I also use the software intentionally many times over.
With Bixby the button has zero constructive functionality for me, it's just in the way. Accidental triggers are exclusively annoying and interrupting.
With GA it has a 95+% constructive, positive functionality, and I really appreciate that it's there. Accidental triggers are a compromise I am very willing to live with as it makes up a very small part of my total interaction with it.
Hey. Great video. I like the BK Package Disabler but I don't know where to get it. It doesn't show on play store
Very helpful - UAG cases are very good !
Watching this on my galaxy s9
Nice, which color did you go with?
Jeff Springer coral blue, real nice color
How is the batterylife? switched from my s7 edge... feeling like the battery now is pretty bad
Linus Zekoviq it's not bad at all for me, more battery like then the s8
ditto
Can you please share the link for that case .i want to buy that.
Nice video😊
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
My S9 began randomly shutting down a couple of weeks ago. It got worse.
I read and watched vids for what to do. I started in safe mode and wiped off most of my 3rd party apps. Didn’t help.
It got worse until it would not open even in safe mode.
I just found your video on going into the Droid menu. I cleared the partitions and now it seems to work flawlessly.
Questions 1. ...is there anything else I should do to prevent this happening again?
I have Avast and McAfee both on it.
Question 2...Could that be the problem? I had McAfee off until just before the shutting down began....
Thank you for your help. I’m liking and subscribing, too.
Regards
Great video! I’m another guy with an iPhone X who is ready to switch. I just hate iOS and all the dang restrictions. If I could put Android on the iPhone X it’d be perfect!
I’m very happy the bixby button can be re-mapped and you can kill all those background processes. Thanks for the info!
Thank you so much! Black navision bar is a super function. I did not have enough. Thanks for the video! I llike black gboard keyboard
Great vid! Is ut possible to keep the black nav bar even if I close the app? Cause when I do it changes back to stock.
The reason Samsung removed the black color option for the nav bar is to reduce the chances of burn-in. If the rest of the screen degrades naturally, but not the nav bar because the pixels there are turned off, in long term the nav bar area will appear brighter than the rest of the screen, which basically means it got burned-in.
So changing the nav bar to black is a bad idea. That's why there's only light colors in the settings, so the nav bar area can degrade with the rest of the screen and prevent it from being burned-in in the display. In apps where the nav bar becomes black be default, I always hide it because of this. So I'd suggest keeping the nav bar white.
Never had any problems with burn on my Samsung phones and I've always used a black nav bar. If you upgrade your phone often it doesn't matter.
I'm willing to take the risk, I like black.
Wait, so if I use a pure dark theme, can I get a burn in?
themes don't change the color of the navbar
This isn't true. The rest of the screen is getting burn in. The black is not. Black colors don''t use any pixels on AMOLED, therefore it's not burning in
Another great video! Will BK Disabler help with the stuttering animations on some apps? When I scroll through my Facebook feeds, I almost feel like I'm getting motion sickness. Is that due to too many things running on the phone or is it just poor optimization? As usual, thank you so much for your help.
yeah it will help, but sadly Looks like the pulled it, see my pinned comment. Package Disabler Pro also works though: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.singleplay&hl=en
Now that was useful. Thanks!
Nothing but an app advert
Hello Patrick you can go onto setting on the actual settings then u can re map that button
Thanks for the information! Super happy to have Bixby button open google assistant now! Wow... why all the negative comments, if the information isn't helpful to you move on.
Great video. Where to download tote wallpaper ? Cool
I'm not sure what the S9 has this on the phone or not but things like select to speak and switch access. When you turn these on you have to agree to a few things and one of them is it observes text you type it states this includes personal data such as credit card numbers and passwords. Has anybody ever use these features because the TalkBack feature seems like it would be pretty cool but I hate the idea of agreeing to something that's going to save all my passwords and credit card numbers. And I guess it would be Samsung that would be getting all my passwords and credit card numbers cuz this is built into the phone I have the S7 by the way. Thanks for any thoughts on this
Samsung really has no reason to sell your info as they are making money off you buying hardware from them. If it's a Samsung app I wouldn't be too concerned, for 3rd party dev's I would be more so.
When I first brought my Samsung S9+ a month ago my battery life at first was good. Now the phone battery runs out so fast, do you know how to improve the battery life ? Thanks. I really enjoy your videos!
Hi Jeff, what is the checklist app you are using or is it available in S9?
Its ok Jeff, read below comment Google Keep. Strange I always had google keep but I only used with photo reminders - you learn something new everyday
The front speaker's voice dropped in the phone suddenly what is the problem ??? My phone is galaxy s9+
Anytime I try uploading videos from my phone, they always have these weird bezels, and I can't get rid of them. Any word on that? Seems like the weird aspect ratio of the S9 is applied in any videos I record on my device, even if I leave the game in 16:9.
Yo I gotta question idk what is going on but something is pausing my music and going into random apps and just different stuff someone pls help resetting seems to work but what is it?
Every time I'm watching TH-cam sometimes the screen goes to the home screen or the previous app I was using please help
If you change your nav bar black won't you have a better chance of getting screen burn? You should do a video about screen burn every since I learned about it I been careful about my screen brightness and all that
Jeff this has nothing to do with the s9 but we spoke before about the xiaomi mix 2 and the new update from xioami has ruined Google maps and Google voice for me. What should I do? Where can I reinstall the Google boot uploader
Thank you 😊👌🏻
Watchin this on my beautiful galaxy s9 i love it 😍😍😍😍
Other cases with a "guide" for fingerprint is Unicorn Beetle...and Youmaker on Amazon.
How did you setup those folders that look round? Instead of the stock Samsung square ones....
THKS SO MUCH
Nice video ❤️❤️
Love BxAxtions, I have mine to use Google Maps to navigate me home from wherever I’m at. It’s my “Take me Home Google” button.
Yeah it's a great tool!
You know you could just use Google maps directly, right?
Thanks for the video. Any idea why "Word" doesn't open on my s9+ please? I mean word opens and lists down the documents but after tapping on any document, it doesn't open. After tapping a pop-up appears saying "Opening: documentname.docx. Downloading from one drive" and that pop-up disappears and nothing happens after that.
Good morning Jeff,
I was wondering if you have any idea as to why intermittently and frequently does the DND mode start automatically. I have turned off my dnd schedule and it will come on during the day and with nothing touching the phone. This morning was the first time that it disabled my alarm sound except for the vibration. Please let me know if you happen to know of a fix. Or anyone reading this thread. Thank you

How about HDR content playing in the Netflix app, does this work fine on your Galaxy S9? Its very dark on my phone. I dont have that problem with TH-cam HDR or local video files with HDR support.
Guess what! It's me looking at my actual phone problems and found you! My phone s9+ goes black after it gets hot and is a absolute pain to use longer then 5 minutes because it goes black, and the brightness only works at the top and bottom of the brightness! Also has lots of green lines in it no matter if its light or not. I don't think this is gonna solve my problem cause I think its something else! Thanks for the guild tho!!
The only problem that really bothers me is how zoomed in Snapchat is :(. I have to hold the phone much further away to take a snap compared to taking a snap on my s7. If anyone knows how to fix this, your help is appreciated.
I cant receive missedcsll notification
kevin Hernández did you ever figure it out? It's so close
Yeah it happens in my instagram stories
Has anyone solved the problem? It's so annoying
That's because it's a higher resolution
Can you tell me how to set up my text messages send/receipt notifications?
Do you have any tips for the camera s9+ to show better video and take better pictures
HOW DO YOU DISABLE THE "AUTO TAG" FEATURE FOR PHOTOS TAKEN WITH THE CAMERA or SCREEN SHOT. ??

What about accidental erase voicemails? Because theres drama at my school and I need proof for the voicemail but I accidentally deleted it
On Instagram and a few other apps I cant see the very edges of the screen like when there is words close to the edge they just cut off on the side. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Do you know how to remove the notification from Verizon Wireless "Sim card is not from Verizon Wireless" on the lock screen?
You should do a vid of your setup
Will do!
I would like to ask, if there is possibility to keep the badges to show the number even after clear the message from the notification bar?

When I scroll through comments on TH-cam sometimes it starts scrolling really fast with just a quick touch. How do you stop it from doing that?
I shut it down and restart, seems to take care of the problem.
I lost the icons on my nav bar today. Cannot find how to get them back. Any ideas?
What widget is your clock/calendar widget at the top there?
I used BK package disabler on my S7 but I don't find that I need to use it on my S9. It was a pain in the ass having to enable everything every time you did an update and then disable again.
Misleading title, these are not "problems" to solve but improvements or customization.
This being said, thank you for the tips.

whats the difference between getting the launcher from the app store and downloading the apk

Good phone to upgrade to if you're coming from an older S6 or 7.
I think the Note8 is a good flagship phone.
Why do we pay for technology when little improvement is made?
