    Stop Android Auto from turning bluetooth back on S23 Ultra?

    Thanks Mustang7757, I had tried 1 in the past and it didn't work, but I'll try 2! YankInDaSouth I don't think I can control this from the car. For example, if I want to add a stop in google maps AA won't let me do it because AA dumbs down apps so I might pull over and try to turn off bluetooth...

    Stop Android Auto from turning bluetooth back on S23 Ultra?

    I use android auto and like it, but sometimes I want it turned off temporarily. The obvious solution is to turn off bluetooth but annoyingly it turns itself back on as soon as I turn it off. How do I stop this from happening? I've found suggestions for other android phones via google searches...

    Trade-In Received by Samsung

    I sent mine in a week ago today. They got it on Wed. as expected and approved the trade in by Thursday! This is the third time I've used their trade in program. No issues any of the times, but this is by far the fastest approval I've ever gotten. Good on Samsung for a generous trade in and...

    Samsung giving money back

    Thanks for posting this! It worked for me (unlocked not activated). To answer the question two posts above, the trade in did not come into play at all. This deal is too good to be true, but they were very friendly and helpful and promised it would go through. I did it on the phone since...

    How do i use Rakuten now that I have a new account?

    Resolved (I think). The purchase now shows up on my Rakuten account as "cash back on purchases." so it looks like it took about 2 hours to post. I still have a "cash back balance" of $0, but I assume it will eventually go from one category to the other?

    How do i use Rakuten now that I have a new account?

    I ordered on Samsung.com an hour ago and have the Rakuten extension on my browser, but it doesn't show my 10% back on Rakuten.com. Did I need to link a credit card and use that card? Some places it seems to say yes and others no. Should I cancel and do it again or does it just take a while...

    S21 Preorder Samsung Online

    Re: S21 Reservation Page up..anyone jumping?? When should the Rakuten credit show up? This is my first time using it. I just ordered about an hour ago and Rakuten still says my balance is $0.00. Edit to say after 2 hours it looks like it showed up. (About $10 less than expected, but...

    Kindle won't work on S8 (unlocked version)

    Hi all, my Kindle App won't work anymore. I clicked on it and most books wouldn't show up. I cleared cache and that didn't help, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now nothing shows up. If I click on library it says "you have no items that match the selected filters" even though I'm...

    S8 changing dates of events on google calendar

    Thank you B. Diddy, you saved the day! I hadn't realized the calendar app had its own time zone setting, but that was exactly the problem. I'd been abroad a few weeks back and that somehow must have triggered it. Choosing "use the device's time zone" solved the problem. You rock!

    S8 changing dates of events on google calendar

    I have an S8 and love it, but for the past week or so it has started displaying many of the events from my calendar on the wrong days. For example, I might put a meeting down for Friday at 2pm and it will show up on the web correctly (on my computer or if I log into google on the phone through...

    Samsung isn't honoring its Galaxy S8 $200 trade-in discounts. Major PR blow to come.

    Just to add one data point, I did jump at the deal, but I called Samsung to make sure that my S3 which was still in great condition would count. They said yes, of course, and so I ran with it. Then this thread popped up and I got worried, but sure enough they accepted the S3. The...

    How do I change the temp units on my lock screen on my M8 (on MM)

    I finally (after way too much time searching) found the answer. It is tied to the "weather and clock widget" and it is not in the settings for the phone available when you click on the widget, but if you open it from the app drawer and dig deep enough there is a setting you can change.
