Puffins was a typo. That should have read menu with USB options...

Recently I have noticed that USB DACs are no longer working with my S20 Ultra. I have the US version on AT&T. I have not changed any USB settings. The menu with USB options does show up in the Notifications pull down but is no help. They worked in the past. I am not sure if they worked...

I spoke too soon. This problem is still occurring. I will try factory testing my phoneat some point.

This problem kept recurring for me so I have been living with it but a few days ago I received the update to Android 11 and i The problem seems to have disaopeared.

When you cast YouTube then the video comes straight from Google to your TV so it is smooth. When you cast a video from your phone then it is actually playing from your phone.

Sound from the bottom speaker disappeared again. Booting to safe mode fixed it. Then I tried connecting my Bluetooth headphones, listening to music rhythm disconnecting them and the bottom speaker had disappeared again. Turning off Bluetooth did not help but rebooting fixed it. I tried...

I poked toothbrush bristles into the bottom speaker opening and now it seems to be working. I did not see any dirt in there so I am surprised. Both speakers have similar volume output now and the one call i tried sounds much louder now. We will see if it lasts, but thank you all for...

Phone is less than 1 year old and I bought it through my service provider so I should have warranty. I also have insurance. The deductible is a few hundred $. The phone is in a heavy duty case but I have dropped it a number of times.

Even in a call on speaker it just plays from the top speaker?

I tried safe mode. There it is harder to be quantitative because apps don't work but the volume seems about the same.

Starting a few weeks ago the volume of my phone especially on speaker is low. I tried playing back a tone from an app on my phone and also on my old S8 and the S8 is about 15 dB louder. On bluetooth headphones the volume is fine. I checked all the equalization and volume limiting settings...

I have been using K@mail Pro the past few years but received an email from Google that some features will not be supported for Gmail starting March 31st. K@mail Pro has not been updated in the years so I am not hopefull. I am looking for a replacement email app. It needs to support Oauth2 so...

I used a usb current/ voltage meter to monitor my phone when plugged in to my third party cables and chargers. Sometimes I see the expanding sunburst moving up from the bottom of the screen when I plug it in and then it draws 1 amp or more and charges it reasonably fast. Sometimes I do not see...
