    Calls from iOS phones going to voicemail

    Funny, but I really do want to hear from her. No offense taken. No, I've never used DND and I just checked to make sure I didn't turn it on by accident. The only way to delete her from my device is to remove her from my CONTACTS. Is that what you mean ?

    Calls from iOS phones going to voicemail

    I never had a problem like this but recently calls from my wife's iPhone are almost always going directly to my Samsung A52's voicemail. Once in a while one sneaks through to my phone. My OS is up to date, and she has iOS 18.1.1 . Messaging between her phone and mine is fine, and she can...

    Super slow Tab A SM-T380

    I unmounted my SD card, but didn't physically remove it. That did seem to help somewhat, although I'm not sure why it should. I looked into the storage on my tablet and found that I hadn't actually been using the SD for storage at all. There was nothing on it! I moved some apps to the SD card to...

    Super slow Tab A SM-T380

    Thanks. I tried both of those but it's still the same. Anyone got anything else? If all else fails and I get a new Galaxy tablet, will Smart Switch transfer all my apps to the new device? Media?

    Super slow Tab A SM-T380

    This formerly terrific tablet has become unbelievably slow. Apps open slowly, webpages open slowly or don't even open, etc. All other devices on my home network, including a Samsung A52, work fine. I've run all the diagnostics that SETTINGS provide in Android version 9. Done all the recommended...

    Not all camera photos showing up on PC, but are on laptop

    Until the last couple of days, if I hooked my A52 to my Win10 PC I could use file explorer on the PC to navigate A52>CARD>DCIM>Camera and I'd see all my photos in the order they were taken, with visible thumbnails. My Win10 laptop worked the same. Now, the laptop does the same thing still, but...

    Why does Android Auto disconnect my Bluetooth? Grrr...

    Just got a new 2021 Mazda 3 hatch (love it!) with Android Auto, cable connected. I have my phone (Samsung A52) connected by Bluetooth for phone calls and audio from my phone. 95% of the time, that's what I use but sometimes I connect by cable to Android Auto so I can use Google Maps. Whenever...

    Block an entire area code?

    I keep getting SPAM phone calls from the same area code as my phone. How can I block those and still get calls from actual contacts in that area code? Oh, the phone is a Samsung A52

    Turn off Samsung A52 speaker while using BT hearing aids.

    If I do go to the developers' settings, are there things there that I definitely should NOT monkey with?

    Turn off Samsung A52 speaker while using BT hearing aids.

    Thanks, but they are the same hearing aids as I had before I got the new phone. I recently got an Android update and I'd hoped that it would fix the problem,but no change. Costco is really good at support and does update firmware. Highly recommended if you know anyone in the market for hearing aids.

    Turn off Samsung A52 speaker while using BT hearing aids.

    Thanks but no luck. I do have the other call options screen, but the hearing aid compatibility is already turned on. Nothing helpful in the accessibility options. I don't know if it helps narrow it down, but I just had my wife call my phone. In my hearing aid, I heard the hearing aid's own...

    Turn off Samsung A52 speaker while using BT hearing aids.

    I wear Bluetooth enabled hearing aids (Costco house brand). I can use them to stream music,audio books and podcasts, no extra earbuds needed. When I do that, the sound comes only through my hearing aids which is what I want. Same for when I'm paired to my car audio. On my previous phone (Samsung...

    Screen protector Samsung a52

    My question probably applies to many phones, Samsung or not. I recently got an a52 which I love. I immediately ordered a tempered glass screen protector for it. Followed the instructions religiously, still ended up with dust under it. I tried 2 others from the same set, same result. I ordered a...

    Easy messaging app?

    I have the Samsung and Google messaging apps on my new Galaxy a52 but neither will let me do what I want. I have a TON of old chats/messages/threads that I don't want. Verification codes texted to me, texts from websites, etc. What I want to do is perform a bulk deletion of them then re-start...
