    Image Clipper - how to paste?

    The image clipper finally became available on my Verizon S22 ultra. I can save the clipped image, but "copy" doesn't seem to work as expected. When I copy the clipped image and try to past into an email, nothing but a line feed seems to get pasted. I also don't see how to paste the image into...

    S22 Ultra camera Lens usage question

    I've been trying to figure out how the S22 ultra uses the 4 lenses. I know that the phone does pixel "binning" to improve light-gathering and image quality. (binning combines multiple pixels into a single pixel - and the 108mp sensor combines groups of 9 pixels into a single pixel to create a...

    Wi-Fi 6

    Was in a restaurant in Boston and connected to their Wi-Fi. I didn't recognize the Wi-Fi symbol, and was blown away when I checked the speed! 200+ mb down and 400mb + up. Didn't previously know about Wi-Fi 6,and had no idea the Note 10 supported it - but it does.

    Don't put your case on upside-down! (unless you want a new OS)

    I had a scary moment. I had to remove my (minimal) case. When I put it back on, I put it on upside-down (camera cutout on bottom) by accident. This apparently caused the volume keys and the power/bixby button to get pressed simultaneously. Next thing I see on the phone is a warning about...

    Android auto wireless

    I have a 2018 Honda Accord. I'm pretty sure it doesn't support Android auto wireless, but if the car is started, and I'm fairly close (e.g. A few hundred feet), the android auto app automatically starts up on my phone (Note 10). If I'm in the car, the app doesn't start. Why/how does the app...

    Auto restart issue

    I had my Note 8 set to auto-restart every tuesday at 3am. If I go to "Device Care" and click the menu and choose "Auto restart", I see that the settings did carry over - it's only set for Tuesday at 3am. But, my phone restarts every night. This wouldn't be so bad, but, if I set an alarm, it...

    Whitestone Dome and poor Finger Print Sensitivity

    I finally received my Whitestone Dome screen protectors for 2 Note 10+ phones (I paid for 2-day shipping, and they shipped it slow-mail - it took 7 days to get here!). After installing, it looks great, but I have to say that I'm less-than-happy with the finger-print sensitivity. I deleted my...

    Initiating Samsung Pay

    I was hoping this would be fixed by now, but it isn't. Swiping up from the bottom of the screen should open Samsung Pay, but it doesn't always work, which is a real pain when I go to pay for something. On my Note 8, I could remap the Bixby button to initiate Samsung Pay, but now with one-less...

    Advantages/disadvantages of getting an unlocked phone vs Verizon

    I've often toyed with the idea of getting an unlocked phone, rather than one from Verizon, and am considering this with the Note 10 (I now have a Note 8). I know some of the advantages include no Verizon "bloat" and the ability to go with any carrier, but, aside from that, what are the distinct...

    Audio notification for every app update

    Every time there's an app update, there's an obnoxious audio notification. Since updates occur in batches, there's one notification after another. I can't figure out what's causing the notifications, or how to stop them. Any ideas?

    Samsung Pay on Pie (9) and Nova Launcher

    You can no longer swipe up (reliably) for Samsung Pay on the Note 8 with Pie and the Nova Launcher. If you switch to the Samsung Experience launcher, it works fine. As a work-around, I've assigned Samsung Pay to the Bixby single-press button function. I wrote Nova and this is what they said...

    Close all apps in pie

    My wife and I have Note 8 phones under Verizon. Both phones got upgraded to pie recently. When I touch the app switcher button, I see the open apps, with a "close all" option at the top of the screen. But on my wife's phone, the "close all" is on the left side of the screen. What would cause the...

    Pie update, WiFi calling and Network Extender

    I got the Pie update this AM on my Verizon Note 8 and found that I couldn't make phone calls after. I have a network extender in my house, and know to make sure that "Advanced Calling" is off, as it's not compatible with the 3G Network Extenders. But, apparently, "WiFi calling" got turned on as...

    Create a playlist from a folder?

    I have 2 music apps on my note 8 - Amazon Music & Play Music. I have created a folder on the SD card with what I want on a playlist. Is there any way to create a playlist from a folder? Is there a better app to use?

    Unresponsive!

    I used my phone to make a call about an hour ago, but now the phone is unresponsive. The lock screen shows up, but the time shows 9:45am - it's now 9:54am. None of the buttons work, and it won't charge (wireless or wired). Any ideas on how I can reboot it?

    Can the Note 8 shoot RAW images?

    Can the Note 8 shoot RAW images? The Note 7 could, but I can't find an option with the Note 8.

    Whitestone Dome Glass – incredible – but don’t make my mistake!

    My wife and I both have Note 8’s. I purchased 2 Whitestone Dome Glass protectors from Mobilefun and put one on last night. First of all, this is an AMAZING protector. I had been using a wet-apply protector previously, and the difference is like night from day. It looks great and is SOOOO...

    How to get Package Disabler running on my Note 8?

    I can't get Package Disabler running on my note 8. It wants the PDP engine installed, which I've installed. When I run it and add it to the phone administrators, the screen goes blank for about 30 seconds and then it fails with an "error 204 Version 4.1 - Code=13". Anyone get Package Disabler...

    How to enable Developer Options on Note 8?

    SORRY - not sure where my mind was - it's BUILD NUMBER - not VERSION! ====================================== Apparently enabling developer options is different - if I tap "Android Version" 7 times, nothing happens. Oddly, if I tap it 3 times very fast, there's an easter-egg. Anyone know how to...
