what's up guys David here and the Galaxy Note 7 has some really high-end specs with a powerful processor and a bunch of RAM yep if you've seen our speed test with it you know that it does leave a little to be desired so in today's video I'm gonna show you how to activate what I like to call beast mode to help you get better performance from the note 7 without having to root the phone let's go ahead and get right into it step number 1 remove blow air alright so the first step to activating beast mode or at least making the note 7 feel faster is removing bloatware so what is bloatware in the first place basically they're the apps that will Samsung and your carrier sometimes preload onto your phone that you personally did not install so for example here on my 18 note 7 there's a bunch of 80 apps I never use along with some other apps like look out Yellow Pages and s voice that I personally did not install now some of these apps can be running automatically in the background using up system resources which can definitely slow your phone down so to disable them open up the launcher press and hold on their icons and then drag the icon up to the uninstall or disable option at the top then just repeat the step for all the other blower apps that you don't want step number 2 uninstall Ram hogs the next step is to uninstall the apps you personally installed but rarely ever use that could be taken up more RAM than they're worth so the first thing you're going to want to do is identify which of your apps are actually using up system resources in the background to do this you'll first have to unlock the hidden developer options in these settings by hopping into your main system settings tapping on general management scrolling down to where it says build number and then tapping on it repeatedly until the phone tells you you are now a developer once you've done that hop back into the main settings tap on the newly available developer options at the bottom and then from here tap on the running surfaces option where you'll get a list of apps that are currently using up ram now a lot of these apps are system apps that you need in order to run your phone or their apps that you use often enough survive them using a brown but sometimes there are those few apps that you install and kind of forget about that end up using a ram even though you rarely ever use them those are the apps that we're looking for here so take note of any apps you've installed but no longer use that appear in this list and then go back and uninstall them using the same method we used earlier to uninstall bloatware step number three speed up animations the third step to activating beastmode is already halfway done for you now that you've unlocked the developer options so hop back into the settings tap on developer options and then scroll down to the drawing category where you'll see options for window transition and animator scales basically these are the animations and transition effects that you see whenever you open close our switch between apps and by setting the animation scale to 0.5 X you can effectively cut the time it takes to do these animations in half or if you're like me and want the snappiest experience possible you can set all the animation scales to off which will make opening and closing apps feel much more instantaneous step number four schedule automatic restarts alright so the fourth step to activating beastmode on the node seven is scheduling automatic restarts once a week to help you keep everything running smooth if you've ever had performance issues or even weird glitches on your phone you know how much a simple restart can help so why not schedule restarts automatically as a preventative measure to set this up hop into the main system settings tap on cloud and accounts and then backup and reset from here scroll down to the auto restart option and tap on it switch the toggle at the top to the on position and then set the day and time you want the phone to be automatically restarted I'd personally recommend a time that you know you'll be asleep and at the beginning of each week so you start the week with a fresh phone step number five lower the resolution okay so if you guys are a speed test where we compare the node seven at its full resolution to the node seven scale down to 720p you know that lowering the resolution doesn't necessarily make a big difference in day-to-day use when it comes to performance so this last step to activating beast mode should only be used in two situations the versus when you want to save battery life without affecting performance and the second is when you're gaming and are noticing that the game isn't running as smoothly as you would like to lower the note sevens resolution go to the main system settings tap on device maintenance hit battery and then select the middle option on the pop-up tap the customize button and if you're only looking to scale down the resolution set the maximum brightness limit to 100% and change the resolution to either full HD in the middle or regular HD to the left for maximum benefit you want to make sure that the limit device performance option is toggled off and then hit apply at the top this will lower the resolution without affecting CPU performance which again may help you in intense 3d gaming situations or if you just want to save some battery life while maintaining optimal device performance alright so there you have it those are the five steps to activating what I like to call beast mode on the galaxy note 7 you can just use one of the steps if you want or you can use all of them it's completely up to you and how you personally use your device but with that said give this video a big thumbs up if you found it
