    Have you updated to a 22?

    I've had my N9 since the release. I used to be an early adopter, now I am conservative, looking for new, useful feature upgrades before I buy anything. My N9 is still in great shape with good battery life. In looking at the N10, S21U, S22U I see no benefits for DtD ordinary use. I'm no a...

    Why do some apps launch automatically ?

    Coming into this late, but have the same issue with 'force stopping' certain apps (not closing, but killing) and then they appear back in memory. They're not open but appear as active when looking at them in the apps list of Android Assistant. Frankly, I want to control which non-system apps...

    S4 Won't Connect to Our WiFi

    I unplugged the router, waited ~30sec then plugged back in. No change. Luckily my Note 9 works fine as a hot spot. Is this weird or what. Still says it has a strong WiFi signal but no internet connection.

    S4 Won't Connect to Our WiFi

    One thing I forgot to mention was that this S4 has connected to the this router since new (years). That and the fact that six other devices continue to connect with no issues, I am leaning toward it being the problem. But I will restart the router and see if that changes anything.

    S4 Won't Connect to Our WiFi

    Today, the S4 stopped connecting to our WiFi. Actually, the WiFi portion of settings says I'm connected, but the WiFi indicator shows no incoming or outgoing signals and nothing is logging on to the internet. We have multiple laptops, phones, and tablets here that are fully connected with full...

    Anyone buying the S Pen Pro?

    Just arrived today. Yes, it is rather large. But I ordered the optional block & Tackle so no trouble lifting. At Amazon it was $89 (block and tackle not included). I bought it to use with my Tab S4. So far it seems to work with most S-Pen functions. Instructions in the box says you must...

    Watch3 Not Showing Phone Charge

    Many faces for the Samsung Watch3 have a reading for the phone charge, but this feature doesn't seem to work on any. I've heard this problem is an issue with the OS and not the faces. Also, I heard there is an add-in that will properly show phone charge. I haven't found it in the Play Store...

    Do Android or File Managers limit the number of files that can be moved/copied?

    Someone I know has 100K+ files to copy from an SD card to Google Drive. Does Android (10) have a limit to number of files that can be handled? Do Android file managers have limits on the number of files that they can copy/move? A friend has 100K+ files he needs to copy from his SD card to the...

    Dex mode without keyboard

    I use DeX mainly w/o a keyboard and never with a monitor. I have a Tab S4 I use as a highly mobile computing device. I use it everywhere and especially as a real notebook with Samsung Notes and the S-pen. There are few uses I can't do with DeX and the S4, although I don't have proprietary...

    Galaxy Watch 3 Upgrade From S3 Frontier

    No, I haven't tried the battery yet. Any special tools needed? If that solved your problem, then I'll give it a try. Any words of wisdom about the replacement procedure?

    Galaxy Watch 3 Upgrade From S3 Frontier

    Here's hoping your S3 does make it 10yrs. However, there are a few of us out here with charging/battery problems. My S3 Frontier is a wonderful device, but it will not charge. I've tried everything short of a factory reset, not sure that will do anything. It was my intention to keep it till...

    Wonky battery?

    I'd like to find out what the calibrating procedure for the Gear S3, but unfortunately your method is more for phones.

    Screen Orientation In Tab S4 running DeX.

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes, rotation (among other functions) would be helpful. Although, I think DeX is an afterthought with Samsung. No regular change/improvements. There are many that could be made.
