YSK: your android phone has hidden developer options

Navigate your phone settings and first go to about phone. From there go to software information. You should see your build number. Tap the build number several times in a row and developer options will be unlocked. This gives you access to developer options and a whole new set of customization features

I always unlock developer settings on a new phone to fix my Bluetooth volume. Android assumes Bluetooth devices have adjustable audio, so if they don’t it sets the default to max. Then you basically have two settings: “kinda quiet” and “I’m slowly losing my hearing”. Disabling absolute volume makes it so your phone only registers your phone’s volume buttons.

As an actual Android dev, these are incredibly useful. But on every phone I’ve owned, changing the animation speeds to 0.5 feels great. OS feels so much smoother

I always unlock these, if only to visualize taps. USB debugging is also cool because of scrcpy, a program that allows you to see and control your phone from your pc.

Most useful option in this menu for most users is the animation scale. Will make your phone much snappier if you set it 0.5x

Real YSK is be careful with these features and settings if you’re not sure what you’re doing. Some of them have security implication. That’s also a security good practice to disable developer options when not needed. But yes, go in there and have a look, it’s interesting
