I haven't owned a cellphone in about 15-17 yrs. I bought my first smart phone the other day.
I was wondering, are there any cool apps or tricks I can use with it? It's a samsung.
Also, is there a type of ad blocker I can get? I get a lot of ads on it.
tl;dr give me a quick gestalt on tricks with samsung phones.
get a heart rate measuring app granpa. there are browsers with adblock, but you cant block ads on apps unless you find a shitty work around

Thanks, which browser would you suggest?
>Samsung

>It's a samsung.
You fucked up.
Enjoy that piece of shit that gets no updates and has shit warrant.

>buttmad Samshit retard gets triggered and thinks I use iphones because I commented how retarded he is for buying Shitsung
stay retarded and waste more shekels on koreans.
>>61720594
thanks
Isn't there an app that lets me control samsung appliances like t.v.s and stereos?

It's either overpaying for a shit product, giving your information directly to the chinese government, giving your money to chink subhumans and being on your own for security, giving your information directly to google, or giving money to gooks.
Gooks are the best choice.

Install LineageOS and use Brave browser.
>>61720706
you're a retard. samsung is fucking overpriced garbage.
>>61720752
>Install LineageOS and use Brave browser.
why buy Samshit then if he's gonna get no support or updates from the manufacturer? why not buy some chinkshit and put LineageOS on that? MUCH cheaper and werks just as well (sometimes even better).
>>61720752
Additionally, you could install the LineageOS root and install Adaway from FDroid store
>>61720642
LMAO if you don't own a samsung or an iphone what piece of crap are you holding? i guess i should assume the worst next time.
>>61720454
If you're at /g/ standards of technological awareness and ability, and not some retard who stumbled in here for tech support, install a custom ROM on your phone. I recommend LineageOS.
>>61720755
Then mass import chink phones and negotiate a buisness deal with atnt/verizon for coverage and then consistently push forwards security updates.
As long as the chink phones have expandable memory, 1440k screen, and an otterbox, I'd buy one.
>>61720771
fuck are you on about? LineageOS updates much more consistently than 'official' OEM's. If your phone was a popular seller, and enough XDA.com members are using/interested in it, you'll have updates for the next 5 years, maybe more. My Moto G from 2013 is still getting Lineage nightlies, latest one was 3 days ago.
You can install adblock on default samsung browser.
Never mind the shitposters samsung is the only real alternative to apple
>>61720764
why would you want Samshits updates? By installing LOS, you're completely getting rid of Samfuck software, they don't handle the updates anymore LOS does.

This. I bought a S7 fully knowing the first thing I'll be doing is installing LineageOS and having the latest version of android and security patches.
>>61720848
Rooting trips Widevine, Knox and Safetynet.
Only reason anyone should root is to remove the Chink rom garbage from their cheap Xiomeme phones.
The cat and mouse game of Magisk isn't worth it.
You can disable and hide all the Samsung crap and with Nova you'll be right at home.

You never run bleeding edge software unless you're a dev or a beta tester.
Enjoy your bricks or missing firmware retards
