    Good Lock update (version 24.0.10) adds Sync, Ultra Power Saving, and Quick Connect bar to Quick Settings

    One benefit of Samsung's latest mobile experiment, Good Lock, is that the company is revolutionizing how users interact with the utilitarian notification shade that has become, for many users, nothing more than just a way to see notifications and alarms at a glance (or to access settings when you need to use them). The Korean giant's new recents menu has been something of a welcome change to TouchWiz though it has had its share of controversy for some, which explains Samsung's decision to bring the old card-style recents approach to Good Lock), but it too, has been designed to revolutionize the “task manager” or recent apps section of the mobile experience. Adding the Always On Display toggle to Good Lock's notification shade only made sense in a recent update.

    The new Good Lock update, as has been the case with earlier updates, adds new functionality to the notification shade, with Samsung adding Sync, Ultra Power Saving, and Quick Connect settings to the notification shade. You can now find these three features accessible as you slide your finger from left to right beneath the brightness adjuster.

    Good Lock version 24.0.10, weighing in at a tiny 18.96MB, also brings PopupWindow to the notification shade, letting you tap the symbol in white to the right of the notification in order to enable it fully on the display as a popup window. Of course, only select apps such as Samsung email leave room for this added functionality, but this is also the case with the edge on the Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy S6 edge as well as Samsung's Theme Store. You can see how PopupWindow works with Good Lock in the YouTube video below.

    As is the case with all updates, the new Good Lock update also fixes Hotspot, Routine times, Safety Warning notifications, mobile data signal issues with dual-SIM devices, as well as a disappearing Setting Icon problem, Smart Lock , SmartView, and other “snags.”

    Though it isn't a large update, it's been said that good things often come in small packages. So, if you treasure the little things in life, head on over to the Galaxy Apps Store and grab that Good Lock update. To check what Good Lock version you have, just head to the Galaxy Apps Store and see if you have an “install” button accessible. If so, you know what to do. You can also grab the new Good Lock update via the APK download provided below.

    Are you falling in love with Good Lock? Is Good Lock “locking” you in, or do you find yourself wanting to break free of Samsung's mobile charms?
