I have not tried Google messages yet but I bet it doesn't do this. However sounds like Samsung is EOL ing Messages so will soon.. Thanks!

Sorry, somehow I missed this reply. All contacts saved to same google account. And it happens on contacts with only one phone number too?! This makes no sense but seems to happen more if the contact has multiple email addresses. But no real determining factor to trigger this behavior. BJB1

I know this is an old post, but I continue to have this issue with my last two or so samsung phones. Most recently an S23 Ultra. Same as poster. For certain contacts, who already have a default number chosen, amd one that has only one phone number.....share something you want to insert into a...

Thanks, this is not a fun memory. Just had to keep scraping with credit cards and various other things. Hope your post helps someone. I have been using Zagg Glassfusion+ ever since... BJB1

Thanks. FWIW the fingerprint sensor works with the Zagg. BJB1

So sorry you are experiencing this. Removing it was a nightmare. I never again used a glass Whitestone dome protector. I have used Zagg hybrid glass Glass Fusion+ on my Note 20 ultra. They are okay, but the sides and top and bottom or sides on the curve of the phone do not stay well...

I saw the article that Google updated the backup option to include MMS. I also have Google One. I was wondering if anyone had backed up and then restored a large amount by size (say a few GB) of text messages with images using the new Google One MMS backup? I utilize the stock Samsung app on...

I agree 100% as to backups. As to photos, just trying to figure out how to get my files on my memory card without messing up my google photo backup. I think so highly about backups I keep my old memory card as a permanent backup and the new one, and the cloud, and a NAS. None of that helps...

Has anyone bought a new phone, put in a new memory card in that new phone, and then turned on phito backup? Your experience would be much appreciated. Thanks, BJB1

Thanks to all. My Note 10 removal disaster was 5 months ago, just looking for an alternative for a different phone. Still traumatized from that! This S20 user does not care about biometrics and does not use it. So that is why I am okay with a different tempered glass solution. Any...

Looking for a glass screen protector for an upcoming new S20. I see Android Central still considers Whitestone Dome the "gold standard". Given the very real issue I had with removal, is there a non UV light glass choice for the S20? I see Zagg does not have a real glass protector. Best of the...

I thought I would share some information from a more tenured person from a carrier who seemed to be very technical and knew what they were talking about. At least I hope so. I am sure this group can confirm and please do not rely on this to do anything with your photos, I am looking for...

Thanks for the great tips. Now with S20 5g coming out, doing this soon. I do use smartswitch too for texts and settings, wallpaper, etc and make multiple backups of dics and pix. Have not used Samsung backup... New strategy and question though. I decided to buy a new larger SD card for the...

re: How to stop random (NOT bootup) "For security purposes enter your password"? I saw a video on One UI 2.1 biometrics and security. It says right in there that every 72 hours you have to use your PIN or password with biometrics. So it knows I have used my fingerprint like 100 times over that...

SuperDave, What did you do with Bixby routines to fix it? BJB1
