just reading through this thread, and wondering if my phone it's different to everyone else, because my phone (Samsung S9) DOES unlock from the 'sleep' screen by saying "ok Google". (there's a setting within Google Assistant) i use the function all the time while driving, it's very useful for a...

So I've been playing with the secure folder settings and learnt you can hide apps within the folder. What I haven't learnt is how to this them!! Anyone know how I can get my hidden apps back? Cheers.

What do you use to unlock? I was quite excited about the intelligent scan and iris scanner, but the amount of times it doesn't work is frustrating. Even when it does work, it feels slow. Thinking of heading back to fingerprint unlock.

ah, that explains why events I added on my old phone for 2019 haven't synced to my S9. Bit frustrating!

I guess hitting space-bar then back space twice is the way to do it? Maybe I'm just nostalgic about my old phone (Sony z5c) and haven't yet fully excepted I've now got a Samsung, but that Xperia keyboard was brilliant, so I'm looking for another that does everything the same. 😁

So I'm trying out Gboard. So far so good, except when I accidentally use the wrong word, and just want to delete the last letter. When I press backspace, the whole word disappears, but I only want to delete one letter (see attached pic for example). Is this a setting somewhere or am I just...

I've moved over to S9 from Sony Z5c. Took me a long time to come to terms with the ever increasing size of phones but now I've bit the bullet I quite like it. Looking at the spec sheet, if I had the S8 I certainly wouldn't be getting the 9. I'm on the upgrade scheme now, but I doubt I'll get...

any suggestions as to a suitable app that will emulate xperia keyboard? Google's gboard doesn't do it for me either!

Forgive me if I'm full of stupid questions. New to Samsung, and new to forums. My previous phone, Sony Z5c, would automatically suggest emojis when I typed my messages. This was really useful to me. Is there a setting to make my s9 do that?

I never really used cloud storage until my SD card corrupted losing a year's worth of pix (including the first 6 months of my son). I'm a fan of onedrive so sync to that but the unlimited photo storage with Google Photos is making me take a relook. also linked to onedrive, I use OneNote and...

Hmm, that's frustrating. When I delete photos in gallery I notice they're still there in photos. Using both means twice as much work deleting the rubbish pix I've taken... or is there a work around I've missed?

So this is my first Samsung since the S2, coming from Sony Xperia compact series (Z1c then Z5c) It would appear Samsung have created an alternative to every Google app. Which apps do you reccomend choosing Google versions, and which should I choose Samsung's, and how do I delete the other...
