Disabling animations had the most immediate impact, while the others collectively reduced background activity. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I disable animations on Samsung One UI to make my phone feel faster? Set all three animation scales to 0x in Developer options. After enabling Developer options, go to Settings → Developer options, scroll to the Drawing section, and set Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale each to 0x. You can also choose 0.5x if you prefer some animations. This change takes effect immediately and has the most noticeable impact on perceived responsiveness. _Developers tuning Android performance find more tips like this on daily.dev._ ### Does turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on Samsung stop background scanning? No — disabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth from the Quick Settings panel does not stop background scanning on Samsung devices. The phone continues scanning for nearby networks and devices to improve location accuracy. To stop it, go to Settings → Location → Location services and disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. You can also disable Nearby device scanning under Settings → Connections → More connection settings. _Android developers and power users tracking Samsung quirks like this share findings on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I tweaked these Samsung features, and my Galaxy phone finally stopped feeling sluggish and bloated](https://daily.dev/posts/i-tweaked-these-samsung-features-and-my-galaxy-phone-finally-stopped-feeling-sluggish-and-bloated-vceqaelry) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [I enabled this hidden Samsung setting and my Galaxy feels like a new phone](https://daily.dev/posts/i-enabled-this-hidden-samsung-setting-and-my-galaxy-feels-like-a-new-phone-v4p116kew) · XDA Developers · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [One UI is quietly killing your Samsung battery — here's which 6 settings to disable](https://daily.dev/posts/one-ui-is-quietly-killing-your-samsung-battery-here-s-which-6-settings-to-disable-272njqq8w) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [4 One UI 8.5 settings I changed immediately on my Galaxy phone](https://daily.dev/posts/4-one-ui-8-5-settings-i-changed-immediately-on-my-galaxy-phone-jz4uguki1) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#tech-news](https://daily.dev/tags/tech-news), [#performance](https://daily.dev/tags/performance), [#android](https://daily.dev/tags/android) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/4-one-ui-features-i-turned-off-to-make-my-galaxy-device-feel-faster-caeorr7ix) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"4 One UI features I turned off to make my Galaxy device feel faster","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/4-one-ui-features-i-turned-off-to-make-my-galaxy-device-feel-faster-caeorr7ix","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/4-one-ui-features-i-turned-off-to-make-my-galaxy-device-feel-faster-caeorr7ix"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T17:31:51.629Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T17:32:20.896Z","description":"A Galaxy Z Flip 5 owner shares four One UI settings they disabled to make their aging Samsung phone feel more responsive: RAM Plus (virtual memory using...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1f1e687348220f2672e56a9f09d5fad9?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1f1e687348220f2672e56a9f09d5fad9?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"XDA Developers","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"XDA Developers","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--kCg6yyAP--/f_auto,q_auto/v1774964407/logos/xda-developers?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/4-one-ui-features-i-turned-off-to-make-my-galaxy-device-feel-faster-caeorr7ix","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"tech-news,performance,android","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"XDA Developers","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"4 One UI features I turned off to make my Galaxy device feel faster"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/4-one-ui-features-i-turned-off-to-make-my-galaxy-device-feel-faster-caeorr7ix#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I disable animations on Samsung One UI to make my phone feel faster?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Set all three animation scales to 0x in Developer options.
