You could try using the Google dialer app. It works fine on my wife's S23 (I have a Pixel). It's not 100%, there are some oddities.

I've got my Galaxy Watch 7 connected to my 10 Pro. There are a few things that don't work, requiring certain sensors on the phone, but basic functionality is fine.

If you install the latest Home Up module from ApkMirror it works.

Looks like Home Up from Goodlock isn't currently compatible with the Tab S9. I did try removing it and redownloading it but still didn't work.

I think I was going too slowly. I knew I'd been able to do it sometimes. After reading your note I got it first try 5 times in a row !

I have a hard time putting home screen shortcuts into folders on my S23. I'm using the Samsung launcher. Particularly, in trying to arrange home screen shortcuts to web sites. Once I've got a folder created I seem to chase the folder with the shortcut I'm trying to move into the folder. I know...

You enter the code right after you put it on your wrist (first tap) then not again until the watch thinks you might have taken it off.

Is there any way to adjust the brightness of the AOD on the Watch 7? I know how to adjust the normal brightness, but it seems like the AOD brightness is too high. I actually have the normal brightness set to auto adjust.

If I had a Samsung Watch 7 sitting on the table next to me, can I start a phone call by speaking to it? Without picking it up? With the screen off? Not sure what Samsung requires to initiate a phone call through a connected phone...

Joplin notes. Open source, has a similar feel as Evernote (and can convert from Evernote). Works on Android, IOS, Windows, Linux.

To turn off repeating notifications, go to settings, notifications, advanced settings. turn off "Repeat notification alerts". There's a menu behind that toggle, where you can set which apps, interval, and vibration.

Could you have turned on the repeating notification? The one that nags you?

I've been moving from a Note 10 (Android 12) to an S23+ (Android 13). I found with the Note that I was best off disabling the Podcast Addict notification on the lock screen because l carry the phone in my shirt pocket and a notification (like a text) wakes up the screen and makes the buttons on...

I think there would be a lot of duplication of effort. I just moved from a Note 10 to an S23+ with Smart switch and it was pretty straightforward. I actually did a partial transfer first, moving music and settings then transferred everything. This got a lot of my notification sounds right. Still...

I just picked up an S23+. I picked up a Speck Presidio Grip case because I like the one I had for my Note 10. I'm wondering if it'll work with something like the Spigen Glas screen protector? Obviously the best choice is a Spigen case and tempered glass, but can I mix?
