Open your phone’s developer options to access a range of advanced settings. For most phones, you can choose this by going to Settings > About phone and tapping the build number a few times. In the developer options you can speed up animations, limit processes running in the background, or enable USB debugging to get the most out of your phone.
2. Change the system user interface.
System UI Tuner allows you to change the appearance of the status bar, lock screen icons and apps. To access it, open the quick settings menu and press and hold the gear icon for a while until it spins and the menu opens. From this page you can change the time display, handle alarms, etc.
3. Smartphone gestures
Many smartphones have gesture functionality, but it is not always enabled by default. Tap ‘Gestures’ or ‘Gestures & Gestures’ in your phone’s settings to see what the problem is. For example, you can turn the phone over to stop it, take a photo with three fingers, or double-tap the screen to wake it up. If you can accomplish this, you can speed up and improve the way you use your device every day.
4. Turn on ‘One-handed mode’
As smartphones get bigger and bigger, it becomes more and more difficult to use a smartphone with one hand. Many gadgets have a mode that allows you to use them with one hand by bringing the screen closer to your thumb. You can often find this option in Settings under Display settings or Advanced features.
5. Set a Do Not Disturb timer
Although Do Not Disturb is a well-known tool, many people don’t use all of its features, such as scheduling. You can set it to turn on automatically at night, during meetings that fit your schedule, or in certain locations, so you won’t be interrupted when it matters.
6. Use code words
There are many passwords on smartphones that can help you quickly get information or access hidden apps. For example, if you enter *#06#, your phone’s IMEI number will be displayed. Other code can test the hardware or give you access to detailed usage data. Be careful with these as some of them may change the way your device works or its initial settings.
7. Set up automated tasks
You can set various tasks on your phone to run automatically with apps like IFTTT and Tasker. These apps take full advantage of your phone’s capabilities, without you having to do anything. For example, they can send text messages at specific times or turn on WiFi when you get home.
8. Make the navigation bar your own
You can usually change how your phone’s on-screen controls work through settings or third-party apps. You can make the navigation bar easier to use and customize it to your needs by adding shortcuts or changing the style.
9. Research into features that make life easier for people with disabilities

10. Use widgets and shortcuts to change the look of your home screen.
Shortcuts and widgets can have a big impact on the way you use apps and information. Dive into the widget settings to find widgets that contain a wealth of information or home screen shortcuts that you can change. This speeds up the process of obtaining information and makes the display more useful.
