    Samsung S20 FE camera resolution

    Is there any way to change the camera resolution of photos on the Samsung S20 FE camera? There are settings for aspect ratio, and there is an option to save photos in a RAW mode. But I can't find any settings that would reduce the resolution of the saved file. I am talking what will...

    How can I stop my (Samsung) Camera app from closing every 2 minutes?

    Hey thanks for the suggestion. When I run Galaxy Store and search for "camera assistant" it turns up nothing by that name, or anything else from Samsung. Mostly a bunch of camera filters.

    How can I stop my (Samsung) Camera app from closing every 2 minutes?

    I also find this annoying on my S20 FE. It doesn't seem to have a Camera Timeout setting as mentioned above. Device interfaces keep getting worse. Stripping away and hiding features and settings.

    Upgrading old Android phone, notification concerns

    Thanks all for these replies. Thanks B. Diddy for reply in another similar thread I started. I had tried "Notification light for Pixel." But I decided I didn't care for the Pixel itself and so wouldn't bother to customize it. Now I'm thinking about Samsungs, maybe something older from the...

    Upgrading old Android phone, notification concerns

    My old Android phone, a Samsung Note 4, had an LED on the front that was very useful for showing notifications and other status indications even when the screen was turned off. New texts would flash green, mail would flash blue, charging would show steady red, fully charged would show steady...

    Notifications of calls/sms when phone is off?

    Hi Is it possible for the pixel 5a to show notifications of calls and text messages when the phone is off (not powered down) but just turned off? There are no LEDs on the body. When a call or text comes in, the phone shows notifications, but they are not persistent. So if you are not looking at...

    Reeboot loop

    So then, even when plugged in, the device is still "running on batteries", and the charger is in fact just that -- only a charger -- keeping the battery charged, but without actually directly powering the device. Never suspected that. But yes.. when I plug it in, with the battery out, I would...

    Reeboot loop

    Thanks for the reply. I cleared the cache partition as described. But nothing has changed, The phone will not coplete a reboot and get past the first screen unless it is plugged in, even when the battery is at 90%. When plugged in, everything usually works fine. But even when plugged in...

    Reeboot loop

    My Verizon Note 4 is caught in a reboot loop when not plugged in. When unplugged , I turned it on, took a few photos, was about to take another, and it spontaneously rebooted. When it came back, everything seemed normal, then a few seconds later, it rebooted again. I saw I had over 50% battery...

    Samsung Note 4 battery issue

    Now in addition to reduced battery life, in the last couple of days I find that it is no longer fast charging, even though it is set to fast charge in the battery options page. Nothing has been changed by me in the settings, no apps have had their settings changed, and no new apps have been...

    Email notifications in notification area

    Since updating my Verizon Note 4 to Build MMB29M.N910VVRS2CPL1, I no longer get notifications of new emails in the notification area, nor do I get any blinking LED notice of new mails. When I look for notification settings in Settings, nothing seems to apply to this. Under Sound and...

    Samsung Note 4 battery issue

    I've had a Verizon Note 4 for the last two years, since it was the Samsung flagship. Battery life has always been very good. Since the last update a few weeks ago, to Build MMB29M.N910VVRS2CPL1 battery life has tanked. I am not running any unusual apps, or apps I had not been running before...

    Yes I can see the phone and folders when it's plugged in via usb. BUT that has changed recently. Now when I plug it in, I have to pull down the notification area, select connection options, and then select File Transfer. At that point the device shows up in Explorer, and all of its folders are...

    Fast charge not working in s6 after marshmallow (6.0.1) update
