    Looking for 'Always on Display' & 'Notifications' app(s)

    Using Samsung Galaxy A13. I need a way to keep a clock active on the lock screen (a viable 'Always on Display' app). EDIT: not the lock screen, the black 'sleep' screen Plus I want something that will notify me when I have a missed call or text or whatever. I find it incredibly annoying that...

    How to make text data entry area larger?

    Thanks, I tried Google messages, which has the 'Pinch' feature, but the 'Pinch' only works in conversation mode. 'Pinch' goes away as soon as the keyboard opens! This seems totally counter-intuitive to me, but what do I know, haha. Anyway, I have been using YAATA for a few days and I think my...

    How to make text data entry area larger?

    Samsung S21 here, using Samsung Messages SMS. This should be a generalized question. When I am creating a text, the data entry area is quite small. This means I often end up sending a text without reviewing it completely, and it has mistakes. Is there any way to enlarge the entry area so that I...

    How do I increase screen timeout when in a phone call?

    SOLVED!!!!!! :D I wanted to follow up with this, in case anyone else may be stuck with same problem. I am using Wakey app. I have it set in "FaceWake" mode and it seems to work!!!!

    How do I increase screen timeout when in a phone call?

    I've been playing with Wakey. I bought the full version. I cannot get it to keep the Phone screen active. Is there a Forum for Wakey, or somewhere I could really dig into the instructions? Thanks

    Precisely!!!!!!!!!!! I've had the exact same thought many times. They could EASILY just put it in the system, at ZERO cost. It's mind-blowing why they wouldn't.

    How do I increase screen timeout when in a phone call?

    S21 here. I have the standard "Screen Timeout" set to 5 minutes, using Settings>Display>Screen Timeout. For most things, the screen will stay on for the 5 minutes. However, when I am actually talking on the phone, I typically use speakerphone and in that mode, the screen times out in maybe 15...

    Notification lights

    I've been using that app for about a week. It seems OK. Certainly not as simple as the old blinking blue LED. I immediately upgraded to the paid version. I still find it annoying (and disturbing) that Samsung eliminated that great little feature.

    How the heck do I turn off Samsung Music?

    Is that a pic of the Samsung music player? If so, how did you get to that screen? Thanks. If it's not Samsung player, which app is it? I would like to simply have a "X" button (as shown in your pic) to shut it off.

    How the heck do I turn off Samsung Music?

    S21 here...... Seems like a ridiculously stupid question, but how the heck do I turn off Samsung Music? I cannot believe it will not shut off. I have looked all over for the magic 'OFF' button, but none appear. If I get to the screen shown in pic below, it will still keep playing song EVEN...

    Why is this page auto-loading? How can I shut it off?

    On my new S21, if I right-swipe from the Home Screen (Picture A), I end up with some useless page and a bunch of stuff (Picture B) that I did not ask for and do not want. How can I stop this page (Picture B) from auto-loading? It must be using data and battery, and even if it wasn't, I don't...

    How do I 'Ungroup' photos in Gallery???

    God, I feel soooo stupid sometimes, haha. I have attached some pics which should help. I am trying to simply 'ungroup' photos, and it will work (as shown in Picture B) for about 1 second when I touch the 'Group/Ungroup' icon. But then the display immediately reverts back to a group display (as...
