Willy_P I 100% agree with your analysis and conclusion. I hope you enjoy it!! My Dad is 86 and just got his very first smart phone...though he went with an iPhone since I introduced him to an iPad a few years back and had familiarity with the OS. Love watching another generation learning this...

I realize this is OVER A YEAR AND A HALF later...but THANK YOU. This was driving me nuts and I had turned on and off web badges, cleared badges, incoming, outgoing, upside down....that simple act of just marking all read fixed the issue. I wish I had found this hours ago when I first started...

I'm a little late to this party, but markyboy81 you mentioned "connect the tablet or phone to an external monitor". You actually can connect the Tab S6 while in DEX mode, to a monitor with an HDMI cable. Either a cable with USB C to HDMI, or a USB C to converter HDMI (stand alone piece) and a...

I can confirm the newest version of the popsocket works on the Note 9 for wireless charging. The round disc/pop piece twists off. You would still have the plastic piece on your case to hold it, so when you are done charging just twist the disc/pop piece back on. Hopefully that made sense. I...

CHANGING APPS BY SWIPING: I'm responding to multiple questions on this as it was annoying me, too. I loved the double tap recent apps to switch quickly between two apps. With gestures (and I have the bars showing), while in app one, and wanting to switch to app 2, on the MIDDLE bar swipe...

I also have a network extender and can confirm Boldbeast does record those calls. I was at my Dad's and Verizon was bad enough it defaulted my calls to his wifi instead, which is where Boldbeast failed to record. It did give me a message about it though.

Jewels81 sandra_17 Boldbeast call recorder is also good but it does need to be unlocked for full recording. HOWEVER it does not record VOIP calls (i.e. wifi calling through Verizon in my case). It's rare I have to use wifi calling but I did encounter it over the weekend hence how I...

If I'm understanding your question: Settings, Display, Navigation Bar. It sounds like currently it is turned on. I think turning it off will fix it.

Well also, doesn't changing the theme change everything else, too? Like fonts, wallpaper, icons and such? I really wish we could change the background independently for messages. I had found a theme I liked for the icons so decided to try it out. I manually changed the font and wallpaper...

But isn't S-Note still acting up? I've kind of stayed away from it because I spend more time trying to figure out how to get it to work "normal" than using it. I have it installed per the instructions in this thread...version and all. Why Samsung...WHY?

Weird, my settings goes from Lock Notes to Import Data. I don't have a Screen Off Memo section.

I'm trying to use Bixby but struggle with having to straddle to Voice Assistants (Google Assistant and Bixby). However Bixby IS great for phone functions. I can't get GA or GH to turn on DND mode with a voice command. And while I don't mind using Android Auto, it automatically turns on DND...

Not sure why, but I actually received 2 Note 9 adapters and yes, it is different for sure because I wasn't comfortable trying to jam my Note 9 into the existing adapter. This new one (or two in my case) from Samsung is definitely made to fit.

From everything I've read, both Sprint and Verizon lock you out of the wifi calling feature if using an unlocked phone. I had an unlocked Note 8 and was never able to get it to do wifi calling despite quite a bit of time on the phone with various levels of tech support. T-Mobile, however, has...

What adapter would that be? I don't have a USB C to USB C, and the one in there currently is simply too tight of a fit for the Note 9. However, I won't rule out you may be right, I just don't see how I already have an adapter that would work. Or perhaps that's exactly your point. DOH.
