    Unread Notifications Don't Use Empty Lockscreen Space?

    Android 11 (Samsung Note 20 Ultra). I'm finding I'm not noticing a lot of notifications recently because on my Lockscreen, if I have 2 or more notifications, a lot of time all I see is the most recent one. I'm 53 and can use my phone without reading glasses but I'm now noticing these very very...

    Camera App That Shoots RAW Only Mode?

    Is there a camera app that works well with the Note 20 Ultra cameras and shoots RAW only and can save to SD Card? I'd be happy if I could just get RAW Only and save to internal. The problem is my Amazon Photos app syncs all my photos to the cloud and I hate that I get duplicate photos (JPEG...

    Note 20/Note 20 Ultra accessories discussion.

    Looks like the Lattercase allows the screen to touch the surface if you place the phone down. I don't care it doesn't totally protect the bottom and top edges as it's the corners that are important because you don't rest your phone on the bottom or top edge and if you drop it, even on an uneven...

    New Update Headed our Way (S20, S20+, S20 Ultra)

    I guess I was right as the close autofocus issue was indeed a hardware problem on the S21 Ultra only due to the 108MP sensor. But a software update basically created a semi-automated workaround...

    S20 Ultra has the worst camera on a Samsung flagship

    You're trading a better autofocus for worse overall image quality (when in focus LOL.) Unless the larger fingerprint sensor and the dynamic refresh rate is SUPER important to you. I just ran across this. The 21 Ultra still has better cameras than 90% of the phones out there probably, but if...

    New Update Headed our Way (S20, S20+, S20 Ultra)

    So no one in Germany has yet to confirm if the S21 Ultra autofocus problem is fixed. Or was that fixed on a previous update. If it's not been fixed before I would highly doubt it can be be fixed in software, it was such a well-known glaring issue, they would have fixed it a LONG time ago. With...

    S20 Ultra to S21 Ultra

    Unless the larger fingerprint sensor and the dynamic refresh rate is SUPER important to you. I just ran across this. The 21 Ultra still has better cameras than 90% of the phones out there probably, but if image quality is super important to you, keep your cameras on your less bulky/heavy Note...

    Is it worth it to dump my Note 20 Ultra for the S21 Ultra?

    If I recall right, first, the Note 20 Ultra didn't have the focus issues of the S20 Ultra. So it's safe to say the cameras and/or processing is better on the Note 20 Ultra vs S20 Ultra. Now saying that, go look at the comparisons showing the S21 Ultra vs S20 Ultra in this test...

    Verified By Google Phone vs Hiya, YouMail - Call Spam Blocking App

    I tried lots of spam blocking apps, pretty much all of them. I found that HiYa (making it the default phone app) combined with YouMail (making it the default Caller ID app) gave the best results. Now I just learned the Google Phone App now has a Spam Blocker and a new feature called "Verified...

    App to Sync Photos to Cloud Then Back to PC?

    Another cool thing I just discovered is when browsing in Amazon Photos if you go to delete any images it asks if you want to delete the photos from both Amazon Photos and your device. It was such a pain before cleaning up all my photos because so many things I take using my phone are just for...

    This is why it doesn't work.

    App to Sync Photos to Cloud Then Back to PC?

    Go into any app on your PC that isn't a Google App. Like a photo editor such as Photoshop or video editor, or Microsoft Word, or anything that isn't accessed through your browser. Then try to open/attach/ebmed one of your Google Photos images without going to Google Photos and downloading the...

    App to Sync Photos to Cloud Then Back to PC?

    Ya but you won't be able to access your Google Photos from File Explorer on your PC like this unless either the photo was on your PC to begin with or you download it from Google Photos manually. That was the whole point of my original post. Any photo I take from any of my devices will show up...

    App to Sync Photos to Cloud Then Back to PC?

    Gallery would only work if you still had the photos stored on your phone. I attach photos taken from many other sources than my phone that are all sync'd to Amazon Photos and my PC. If you take a photo on your phone, remove it from your Gallery, it will only be in Google Photos, not Drive and...

    App to Sync Photos to Cloud Then Back to PC?

    The other cool thing is if I want to attach the photos by browsing albums or doing metadata search look you do in Google Photos, instead of selecting Amazon Drive when attaching, I just select Amazon Photos and get the similar organization that you get with Google Photos. So I have the option...
