Finally got the July patch for my AT&T S24+ on July 17. 4BYF5.

While "Harden My Heart" was a nice hit from Quarterflash, when I first heard this on that first album I bought back in '81, this was my favorite of theirs... still is.

AT&T branded phones, even if unlocked after-the-fact, still only get their updates while on the AT&T network. No way around that. No amount of "CSC" changing with SamFW or whatever will change that. T-Mobile can't help either. If you want updates, any updates including security updates, you...

Got it on my locked AT&T Monday morning (June 23)

Another local band from the early 80s. Greatly inspired by "The Clash". This was recorded from my vinyl LP.

Easiest way is to go to "Settings" > "Apps" > scroll down to "Gallery" and tap it > tap "Storage" > at the bottom right, tap "Clear cache", then on the bottom left tap "Clear data". Clearing the data resets the app to defaults. Clearing the cache first just insures that previous...

Typical South Louisiana. This is in fahrenheit.

The Gallery app is NOT "collecting" your pictures. It is merely listing the photos you have on the device. All of them. All "Gallery" or "Photo" type apps do this on Android whether by Samsung, Google, Asus, or any other third party app in the Play Store. IPhones too, by the way. Even...

Local band from 1978. They still play today, but with only a few of the original members.

I don't know what you're showing, but an android screen shot is simply a function of pressing the power button and closest volume button at the same time and you get a quick shot of what in on the screen. It's usually saved in the "Screenshots" folder under the "DCIM" folder. It's just an image...

I'm staying with my S24+ because... well... it still works. There's nothing that the S25 series offers that is significantly better, to me, than what I have now. Besides, we did get my youngest son an S25 earlier this year. Using my old S9 he was using as a trade-in to get it. So I was able...

Might want to check if "Notification categories" is turned on. Just to be sure.

It's all over Reddit. People constantly complaining about horrible battery life after the One UI 7 update. My S24+ is a little worse after the update. Depending on the use of the day, I might get 19 to 21 hours on a charge. I used to get more than 24 hours before the update. I did clear the...

What do you mean by "email server"? Do you want to actually host your own email domain server on your phone? To what end and purpose? Most have stopped hosting their own email servers - which was typically on some version of Unix, Linux or Windows Server boxes. Businesses generally quit...

I made a mistake initially with the title, calling it the April update. Mustang fixed it for me.
