11. Bixby Routines Triggered by Accessories

Example: Auto-launch Spotify when your Bluetooth earbuds connect

Modes & Routines > Add trigger > Bluetooth device connected


12. Access Hidden Diagnostic Tools

Dial *#0*# in the Phone app

Test touchscreen, vibration, sensors, camera, and more


13. Set Up a Secure Wi-Fi MAC Address Per Network

Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Tap gear icon > View MAC address > Use “Randomized”

Prevents Wi-Fi tracking across networks


14. Use One-Handed Mode for Easier Navigation

Settings > Advanced features > One-handed mode

Swipe down in the gesture area or double-tap the home button (based on your nav type)


15. Customize App Notifications with Notification Categories

Long-press on a notification > Tap Settings icon

Control each type of alert: sound, popup, silent, etc.


16. Enable SoundAssistant for Advanced Volume Control

From Good Lock > SoundAssistant

Features: app-specific volume, custom EQ per app, separate left/right audio


17. Pin Windows for Guest Mode or Kids

Settings > Security & privacy > Other security settings > Pin windows

Lock your phone to one app, unlock with your pattern only

Great for handing off to someone without full access


18. Extend Battery Stats with Galaxy Labs (Battery Tracker)

If available in your region: Galaxy Labs app > Enable battery tracking

Gives extra usage graphs beyond what the default Battery menu shows


19.Set Up Dual Messenger for 2 WhatsApp/Facebook/etc.

Settings > Advanced Features > Dual Messenger

Clone apps with different accounts—especially handy for work/personal splits

For 14, enable non persistent mac randomisation in developer settings to change mac each reboot. By default each network has a random mac but the same mac is used on later connections

Do not use Private DNS this will cause you issue with some update that doesn't like these private secure DNS servers.

Search the forum for the amount of problems this caused

This is not a good tip

Routines are OP . You can do crazy stuff with them as long as they don't clash with each other. 😊
