    Question screen timeout

    Trial and error is not my thing. Tasker is not the issue. Is there a way to tell TASKER to notify me when it changes? Is there a way to tell TASKER to always restore it to 30 seconds?

    Question screen timeout

    How do I find out which app is changing my Galaxy S22 Ultra screen timeout from 30 seconds to 10 minutes? Is there a way to tell TASKER to notify me when it changes? Is there a way to tell TASKER to always restore it to 30 seconds?

    Why doesn't Home Depot accept Samsung Pay anymore?

    1. Samsung Pay has never worked at Lowes in NJ. 2. Samsung Pay used to work with old Home Depot equipment in NJ but will not work with their new terminals. The whole point of Samsung Pay technology was that "broadcasting the magnetic strip" was supposed to work anywhere. To me, it is pretty...

    How do I turn off the drag down notification/status bar while the phone is locked?

    Unfortunately, it does NOT help. He asked to block the "notification bar" (specifically, things like wi-fi or bluetooth) when the phone is locked ... NOT how to block notifications.

    GEAR S3 battery life decreasing significantly since last update

    Further, I'd like to make it clear that I want to rollback the version on the watch itself ... not the Gear app on the phone.

    GEAR S3 battery life decreasing significantly since last update

    Thanks but this just looks like a different way to install the most recent version. Where is the list of choices to install previous versions?

    GEAR S3 battery life decreasing significantly since last update

    My friend noticed this last week with his Gear and now I am noticing it too. We went many months with batteries that lasted more than 48 hours. After the latest update, our batteries are drained within only 10 hours. How do we "roll back" the update? How will we know when the update becomes...

    "Keep screen turned off" feature not working

    JLUTZ, I've seen many people observing this for the past two months and I never seen anyone from Samsung respond. It's so easy to recreate the error using a wired or wireless headset. Samsung must want it this way because they think it's funny when our dark pockets call 911, summon an Uber...

    Samsung Pay - Disable MST? Chip Card Problems

    Are you all saying that you don't believe Kevin? Are you all saying you don't believe ME when I say my Samsung Pay (via Gear S3 or Galaxy S8+) gets rejected more than half the time? Do you not believe us when we say the failure rate is increasing whenever a store upgrades to newer terminals...

    notifications over wi-fi

    In my expansive studio apartment, I still cannot charge my phone in the bedroom whilst receiving notifications on my watch from the kitchen. Yes, they are out of bluetooth range but both connected to the same wi-fi. Why can't my Gear S3 talk to my Galaxy S8 over wi-fi when not connected via...

    wearable on-the-go charger?

    Well, it's not really the sleep tracking I value but, rather, the ability to receive on-call alerts without waking up my family. My wrist vibrates and I can just leave the room without waking anyone up.

    Find My Phone ... useless?

    I've been begging for years for Android phones to put some sort of "hard-switch" on their phones to lock out inadvertent button presses. iPhone was designed like that from the beginning, so Android devs must have some sort of God-complex to avoid such an easy "borrow".

    Find My Phone ... useless?

    I'm on call. I need to be reached 24x7. This is why I need the watch!
