Unfortunately that didn't help either.

No, I'll try that now. Thanks!

My s21 ultra (unlocked on Verizon network) won't auto-rotate to landscape/portrait. Stuck in portrait mode. I've toggled the "auto rotate" setting multiple times and restarted the phone multiple times. But I do think it's actually a hardware issue because when I open the surface level app...

They sent me mine, and my wife's with our phones. Then sent us a 3rd for some unknown reason 3 weeks later.

Anyone know of a way to default to Google Voice typing in the messages app (Samsung Stock App) instead of it using Bixby. On my Note 8 there was a way to set it to Google, but on my unlocked s20 I have to select it each time. Thanks.

Been hoping for a smaller note for some time, but I can't imagine that's going to happen. It would probably have to be fairly thick to have a decent battery. But I'd buy it. My last two phones were Note 5 and now 8. Not sure I'll do the Note 10 or go with something like the s10e. Depends on...

Bought the s10E for my wife through the best buy promotion for $350. It was my first unlocked phone and I can confirm the lack of carrier bloat is astounding. On my prior two Samsung phones from Verizon I would spend the first 15 minutes deleting some 20+ apps of bloat. The only one I was...

Yeah I figured that one out but very cumbersome compared to the old method. Especially when driving and I want to see maps/music.

Hi guys, prior to Android 9 update, to split screen two apps I just had to hold the III button (or whatever you call it) and it would split screen the current app and ask me to select whatever other app I wanted in the second half. Also, there was a split screen EDGE panel available which I...

I tried hard to avoid getting Pie and had to daily click "install later" on my N8 with verizon because my phone was running perfect. Until it no longer gave me that option and forced me to choose a time, and then it installed the update when I was asleep! Big bummer. I like a few things with...

I gave up and did a factory reset. Will see if that fixes it.

I went through every app that is set to give a notification and turned off the sound for any I don't want to make a noise. I'm still getting phantom notifications. I'm wondering if it's a glitch between Android notification settings and Nova launcher.

Hi guys, Since Oreo update on my Verizon N8, I'm getting phantom notifications. I'll hear the notification sound, but nothing pops up on lock screen or in notification panel. Even with the screen on, phone in hand, I occasionally hear a phantom notification. Any ideas on how to check what is...

Verizon executives sit around pondering how they can add more fees. I bought my N8 at Best Buy on installments to get the $480 trade in deal but still paid the $30 fee.
