Just got my S25 standard and enjoying it so far but I'm wondering if anyone else in the community has tips or setting suggestions to make the device better.

Hi Mackert,

Great to hear you're enjoying your Galaxy S25! Here are some tips and settings tweaks to enhance your experience:

Display & Performance Tweaks: 

Adjust Refresh Rate: Go to Settings > Display > Motion Smoothness and set it to Adaptive for smoother scrolling.
Enhance Colors: Settings > Display > Screen Mode, switch to Vivid for richer colors.
Reduce Animation Lag: Settings > Developer Options > Window & Transition Animation Scale, set to 0.5x for snappier performance.

Battery Optimization:

Adaptive Battery: Enable it in Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > More battery settings to optimize power usage.
Turn Off Always-On Display: If battery life is a priority, disable or set Tap to Show under Settings > Lock Screen > Always On Display.
App Sleep Settings: Settings > Battery and device care > Background usage limits, put unused apps in Deep sleep.

Camera Tips: Turn on 50MP/200MP Mode: In Camera app, tap Resolution to enable high-res shots. Pro Mode for Night Shots: Use Pro Mode to tweak ISO and shutter speed for better low-light photos.
Enable Auto FPS for Videos: Camera settings > Advanced recording options, toggle Auto FPS for better low-light videos.

Customization & Features:

Good Lock App (via Galaxy Store): Customize UI, lock screen, and gestures.
Bixby Routines: Automate tasks like auto-muting at work or enabling Bluetooth when driving.
Side Key Customization: Settings > Advanced Features > Side Key, change double-press to open an app of your choice.
Gesture Navigation: Settings > Display > Navigation bar, switch to Swipe gestures for a cleaner look.

Set Up Auto Restart: Settings > Battery and device care > Auto restart, schedule a restart for smoother performance.

Check App Permissions: Settings > Apps > Permissions manager, review and restrict apps from unnecessary access.

These should help you get the most out of your S25! If you’re looking for something specific, let me know!

Hi Helenna, I applied the majority of your suggestions and they were very helpful! But I'm wondering when Goodlock 3 will be available for download, looking in the app store it's only allowing me to updated to 2.2
