    Anyway for an app to wake up my display like an incoming call does?

    Might want to try in the 'Always On Display' setting, the "show for new notifications' option. Basically, it keeps the display off until you get a notification. Then it gives you whatever image or clock you set up as your always on display - in addition to the notification of the app. I...

    How long will Samsung S phone last When to buy new

    I'd say the only reason I'd update from my S21 is if I would benefit from the better performance in low signal area that the new modem supposedly has.

    S21 plus to S22 plus it's it worth it?

    There's an article showing the new modem and antenna being much better. If you're usually in a very low signal area, upgrading to S22:should help. https://www.pcmag.com/news/exclusive-samsungs-galaxy-s22-is-a-low-signal-beast

    Does Samsung Dex work with MS wireless mirror cast adaptor?

    I don't have a firestick, but Dex casts through my Roku. I believe that the Roku and Firestick use the same protocol, so it should work.

    Unlocked vs. T-Mobile?

    Visual Voicemail app works on any version. But Visual Voicemail from the dialer app is what sometimes only works on carrier versions of devices.

    S10 to S22

    Ahhahaha My guess is $376 What does the right guess win? I honestly wasn't planning on upgrading from S10e to S21 last year, but those sneaky Samsung ppl made me an offer I couldn't refuse with the trade-in value lol. Their best trade-in value price period seemed to be during the pre-order...

    Update Ate Up Most Of My Space!

    Might be worth it to try installing the Files app by Google and have it search for duplicate files or a large thumbnail cache file. It's a long shot, but hope it helps.

    US Unlocked S21 BULH update

    Hmm... could that increased bootloader number be because of possible new One Ui version debut on the S22 event coming up?

    S21 5g update Visual Voicemail Not Working

    Look at the 4:30 and 8:40 time mark on this video https://youtu.be/KGTy-d2N2PU You can use the app or the web interface. I mostly use the web interface for voicemail since that fits best with my workflow and how I use the voicemail transcripts.

    S21 5g update Visual Voicemail Not Working

    Re: S21 5g update Hilarious response lol. Got my popcorn hoping for more witty "yes! slay queen" replies. But back to topic. I'd give another vote for Google voice. My Verizon work number also defaults to my Google voice-mail. I find it makes it so much easier. But every use case is...

    Does anyone use a GameSir X2 with their S21 Ultra?

    This review from Windows Central says that the Note 20 Ultra fit perfectly. Am thinking the bump on your S21 Ultra should fit just as well. https://www.windowscentral.com/gamesir-x2-mobile-controller-review

    Need browser recommendations

    I know that this might sound nuts, but give Microsoft Edge a shot on Android. I like Edge along with the Samsung Browser. Others I like & would suggest you try are: Kiwi browser, Styx Browser and Bromite.

    Do you use ExpressVPN? You might want to think twice ...

    Agreed. I use a VPN to hide stuff from my ISP or local network I might be using at the moment. But to hide stuff from government/law enforcement, the answer isn't simply a commercial VPN.

    Dead Island - Android

    Let's hope not. Specially since gaming phones are a thing on Android lol. Do you have a link to it for the Apple App Store? I have the Game for the Xbox. Didn't know they had a mobile version. For some reason, I can't find it on my friend's iPhone XR app store.
