    Thinking about getting an FE

    I've had the FE 5G since day one and there are two things I don't like about it... 1 - It's big, but ok 2 - When first raising my ear to the phone when on a call, the proximity sensor takes too long to black out the screen and I sometimes press something that should not have been pressed. I...

    S20 FE proximity sensor

    Well thanks, that's the first time I've been told I am patient LOL Truth be told, I spoke with T-Mobile about returning the phone and they gave me a real hard time about it claiming that it would be a warranty repair issue and it would take a few days for them having the phone in their...

    S20 FE proximity sensor

    You didn't see the edit on my post. The problem with putting the phone to my ear has not gone away at all. As I said in a previous post, I have learned to make adjustments for it, but it has not gone away. Another problem though is that since the update, it seems that the screen sometimes now...

    S20 FE proximity sensor

    Thanks, I know about that but I prefer to keep the power button to allow me to end calls. Besides, using the power button would defeat the purpose anyway since the problem manifests itself when I am on a call with a menu system where asked to "press 1 for customer service," or "press 2 to speak...

    S20 FE proximity sensor

    Yes, this is the problem alright. I've come to realize though that for me, it's really only a problem when I am on a call which requires me to keep the dial pad on the screen, like when I am picking options like "for customer service dial 1" etc. Normally when making a regular call, the dial pad...

    S20 series Accessories discussion!

    As the cameras in these phones get more and more sophisticated, they are taken more seriously. I'm a professional photographer and frankly wouldn't use a cell phone camera for anything serious, but I do find that I use the camera in these later phones more than I used to. I can always put a...

    S20 series Accessories discussion!

    I purchased a camera lens protector for my Galaxy S20 FE 5G but when using the flash all I see is a blue haze entirely covering every single photo. If I turn the flash off, this does not happen. I took off the protector and closely examined the lens area with a magnifying glass and discovered...

    S20 FE, who's thinking about it?

    I'm just confused and am sorry for being so. When I installed PDP I was given a choice to CANCEL, UNINSTALL, or SECURITY. I pushed SECURITY to see what that was all about. I did not want to approve Knox but all that did was kick me out of the app, and I could not start it again without once...

    Why then is Package Disabler Pro asking me to allow it?

    S20 FE, who's thinking about it?

    OK so now I have a problem. I do not want this Knox thing on my phone. It is remote management, isn't it? I do not want that and the Package Disabler is insisting that I give an OK for it. So I then try and uninstall Package Disabler and am told I cannot uninstall it. Great! Now what? ***NEVER...

    S20 FE, who's thinking about it?

    YOU can tell me, or "IT" (meaning the app) can tell me which are ok to disable? If you, is it possible for you to create a list here? And if you do, do most of these once disabled run the risk of something not working? Thanks

    S20 FE, who's thinking about it?

    OK so a question on this. I took a look at Package Disabler app and saw screenshots of a lot of things that I have no idea what are for. How does someone know what Samsung services to disable without risking the phone or something not working right without knowing exactly what each of these...
