    The "open app" link from youtube opens the page for apple app store. WTH?!

    I'm using S21. With the video already open, long pressing on the "open app" does not do anything. Nor does long pressing on the video bring up a menu.

    The "open app" link from youtube opens the page for apple app store. WTH?!

    I browse YouTube in a browser but when there's a video that I want to use the YouTube app for, I click on "open app," instead of opening the YouTube app that I already have installed, the link takes me to the Apple's app store. Is there a setting my browser that I need to change? It's the same...

    I'm getting the following error. com.android.externalstorage has no access to content.

    I have been using the apps zxtune and foobar2000 to play chiptune music (mega drive, snes, etc). Since upgrading my phone to Samsung S21, I am getting this error: com.android.externalstorage has no access to content. I've tried opening the media files with different file managers, placed the...

    Android 12 - Bluetooth pause buttons no longer work

    I have bluetooth ear buds and headphones connected to my S21. Since upgrading to Android 12, the pause buttons on both accessories no longer work. Prior to the upgrade, both worked as intended. Now, I need to unlock my phone just to pause.

    Recent apps list view?

    My GoodLock needed updating. Once it did, Task Changer was there. Without the list view, switching between apps is a pain. I couldn't imagine not having this as an option.

    Recent apps list view?

    Samsung's task changer does not seem to be available (hopefully it will be). Does Android 12 have a built in option to view recent apps in list view? The card style is inefficient to scroll through recent/open apps.

    Good Lock - task changer (slim list is working again)

    The Slim List option from Good Lock task changer is working again - finally. Slim view is such a useful feature. The "card" option I find to be inefficient. Android should have this option built in.

    Best S21 cases. Which one(s) are you getting?

    How many cases have you gone through until you found the right one? My first one was a Encased Rugged. It was sturdy but too slippery. It was hard plastic all around including the sides. There is some texturing on the sides but still very slippery. I'm currently using a Ykooe which had TPU...

    Planning on upgrading from S8 to S21. Anything I should know before I do?

    Admitedly, I haven't read too much on it, but I am assuming that 5G whether with good or bad signal will eat up more battery. Many moons ago, I had a BlackBerry that can toggle Edge and 3G, and the battery life was better on Edge, so I'm applying the same logic.

    Planning on upgrading from S8 to S21. Anything I should know before I do?

    I had initially wanted to upgrade to an S10 but it isn't practical to do so since it is already a 2 year old phone. I just purchased an 128gb SD card for the S8 but since the S21 does have a slot for it, I suppose I will find some other use for it. I plan on going through the trade in program...

    Is S10 a good phone to update from S8 in 2021?

    Thank you for the responses. I realized that S8 is a 4 year old phone (I've been using it for 3 years). I actually don't like the curve screen, so in that regard, I would prefer the S10e, but I've read its battery isn't so great. If I apply my use case to the S10 which is a 2 year old phone, if...

    Is S10 a good phone to update from S8 in 2021?

    The S20 FE is too big of a phone. Regarding the Pixels, they don't have SD card slot, but if they had it, I would definitely consider them. Yeah, the headphone jack is not requirement but I absolutely cannot deal with a bigger phone. I find the S10 just a hair too big but manageable
