Update: It dawned on me that I'm still logged onto the old account. I was able to update the needed app. However, this will eventually be a problem when this account eventually stops working. I can't do anything with it.

It's pretty rare that I use google play. I went there today to try and download an app but the geniuses decided it would be a good time to force people to use more 'secure' logins (biometrics, etc.). It's tied to a made-up email (a google-generated one, which I don't even have a password to)...

There's very few on my screen. Under lock star, there's edit portrait lock screen/edit landscape lock screen/lock screen timeout. That's it. I managed to muddle around and get the lock screen back like I wanted it. Nothing's changed per the phone. I'll have to make sure all the contacts are...

I now remember why I had Good Lock. While using Poweramp, I wanted to have the best of both worlds in the lock screen, showing both the clock/regular lock screen, and what's playing. I reinstalled Good Lock, but I can't remember how I got the lock screen the way I wanted it. I wish I hadn't...

I uninstalled Good Lock and restarted. Same problem. This is 10/10 annoying. I want to make triple sure before I clear any phone data. Will this screw up my contacts? I'd better make darn sure my contacts are backed up before doing anything. It's probably some permissions thing. Permissions...

I tried updating GoodLock first. Under the good lock banner, I have: Theme Park Pentastic Wonderland Lockstar Keyscafe NavStar HomeUp Clock Face (I remember using this a few times) QuickStar I then went into Settings-Do Not Disturb and I tried manually allowing the goodlock app, but none of...

Ok, I managed to get the Grace controller back. The second time I went to the play store, it said 'enable' instead of 'open'. I restarted the device and then the grace app showed up in apps and I was able to migrate it into the home screen. I was really excited about the phone when I got it...

When I went to the Google store to try and get Grace back, it shows that I have the Grace controller, but it has no app icon now. I had it on my home screen. I looked in 'apps' and also swiped through the various home screen overflow pages. How do I get the grace controller icon back? It...

I have Do Not disturb with the exceptions of numbers in my contacts. As I understood it, even spammer numbers would pop up. It just doesn't ring. That's the way it's always worked for me. It appears that I might be using good lock. It's there in my apps. Joy, oh joy, the icon for my Grace...

That would stink to clear all the blocked numbers. Will that also affect blocked numbers from the text app? Per the other question, I don't think I'm using Good Lock.

Ok. It had been a while since I visited and was using an old bookmark for the S20 thread. No idea if it works in safe mode. When I tried safe mode and called from my home phone, I just get 'please leave a message for so and so number.' When I restarted to exit safe mode, airplane mode was...

I'm not sure if this is best listed in the Note 20 section or the Android 11 Forum. Anyway, after many months of no changes to the phone (although I did turn off location a few days ago - I also tried it with it on), out of the blue the accept/decline screen won't show up on the lock screen...

This is another annoyance whch I don't need. Annoyingly, the incoming calls (accept/decline) screen won't show when do not disturb is on. This suddenly started out of the blue; I hadn't messed with any settings for months. I have a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. I have it set to the screen showing...

I've isolated the mic muting thing to the dongle. I tried a newly-ordered dongle, as the other one is acting up again. Sure enough, phone app mic mutes. I'm not sure if this just happens the first few times, like the other one. Does Samsung offer a dongle and does it hold up fairly well?

I got really busy this week and fell silent. Well, my dongle started behaving again. It had shorted out when the cable was snagged. I bought two more dongles, each one a different brand than the original. The second is useless, has an intermittent hum. The third, haven't tried yet. The...
