    One UI 8

    Not unless you want to use Odin to flash the old firmware. Not sure that is actually even possible.

    One UI 8

    On the tab S9 Ultra, with the keyboard cover, DEX makes it like using a laptop (this was the intended purpose of my purchase was to have a "light" laptop with some features from Android). With this change, I no longer have some of the capabilities without doing major work arounds. Since Samsung...

    Well, goodbye Dex.... I do not like this update. They completely destroyed classic Dex mode.

    No Audio when using ear speaker

    Pretty sure the OP was saying that the ear speaker on the PHONE is what is not working when not in speaker mode. They stated the speaker mode and headsets all work. I would imagine that it is kinda difficult to make the phone earpiece play audio from another phone.

    Android Auto hijacking WiFi

    It is possible that you have to enable developer options in Android Auto to get the setting. But, I thought all the "developer only" options were in a special submenu.

    Android Auto hijacking WiFi

    You can turn off wireless android auto in the settings (Settings -> Apps -> Android Auto then scroll down and select/tap "Configure in Android Auto". One of the top options is a toggle for wireless AA. I keep mine off all the time because I prefer wired and we have the same race condition in...

    One UI 7, and just updates in general - why consistently remove useful features??

    You can fix this back to whatever you want in Good Lock -> Home up -> Home Screen Settings This annoyed me too and had to wait a week to fix my Galaxy tab as they had not updated home up for that device before rollout 1000% agreed with 1-4. At least #1 was sort of easily fixed with "combined"...

    AT&T Email question

    Does it work when you are on your home wifi? I had an issue with Comcast mail, where it worked on my home wifi, and when my phone was on verizon towers. But, I had an AT&T wifi hotspot in my car and the credentials always failed. Long investigation found Comcast was blocking the AT&T IP for my...

    Newbie question about Android Auto automatically restarting another application.

    If I recall correctly, specifically for Sirius, if you check the box for the app on Android Auto, it will still open the app on your phone when you start Android Auto if you have used the app while not connected. It will not start playing with the Start Music Automatically. But it will open the...

    Newbie question about Android Auto automatically restarting another application.

    You are correct. I had forgotten about Pandora since I stopped using it specifically because of that a very long time ago. If I remember correctly, if you have Pandora tied to your Google account (for Google home, etc), then it will open on your phone if someone plays from a speaker at your...

    Newbie question about Android Auto automatically restarting another application.

    There are two things that can allow music to automatically start. Both are in the setting at: Settings-> Apps -> Android Auto-Configure in Android Auto. The first is the radio toggle in the "startup" section: "Start Music Automatically". Make sure it is turned off. The second is under the...

    My S23 Ultra (Verizon) and my wife's got the July update on the 4th. So, at least two phones got it before the tablet.
