Not sure if it matters, but I am on T-Mobile.

I have the S23 Ultra and a MacBook Pro on which I use Outlook from Office 365. If I change or enter a contact on my computer, it eventually syncs with my phone. However, if I change or enter a new contact on my phone, it does not reverse sync to Outlook 365 or my Mac. Calendar entries sync both...

Thank you all for your helpfulness. In my case, I had to go through the process twice. The first time I put the sim from my old S10+ into the S23 Ultra and ran basic setup, then selected an Android to Android update (that is, initiated Smart Switch). After about an hour, all data was...

No, it is clearly not a potato nor any other vegetable. Thanks for your response and a laugh when one was needed.

Getting an S23 with fixed storage so I want to minimize the impact of files stored on the camera. I have a Dropbox account and I have backed up photos and videos stored on Dropbox for years. What I ideally want is to have the phone only store thumbnails locally, so I can see the image on the...

I had a lot of the same issues as the original poster and repliers. The Samsung offer link I received and the links from subsequent email all took me to the S23 purchase page. At the end of that page I was purchasing an S23 Ultra, trading in an S10+ and supposed to have a monthly fee of $16 and...

Just purchased an S23 Ultra, transitioning from an S10+. Does Smart Switch transfer folders as well as files and apps? I have my apps arranged in folders (see attached pics). Also, does Smart Switch transfer widgets such as those on my home screen?

I searched for years to find a good Android music player for my extensive locally-stored music and iTunes playlists. The only one I found that worked well - not perfectly, but quite well - is Rocket Player. I've been using this for years. When I encounter an issue, there is a forum, FAQ and...

I've got an S10+ and was just reviewing the new features of Android 11. The "hold for me" feature is interesting but I don't see it in menus. Looks like it's Pixel only. True? Anyone think it will come to Galaxy phones?

I have a Galaxy S10+ on Verizon and purchased a new 512GB microsd to replace the 256GG microsd I had been using. Both microsd's are from Samsung. I was advised by Verizon to simply use the card adapter to copy the complete disk to my Macbook Pro and then copy those files to the new microsd with...

FYI, I recently had an issue where Chromecasts, in particular those from YouTube TV, would revert to the Chromecast "home screen" after about 5-10 minutes of playback. If anyone is having this problem, the solution is fairly straightforward but takes a few minutes. Some of these steps might be...

When I use YouTube TV on my Galaxy S10+, it shows in either portrait or landscape depending on how I orient the phone. However, when I then Cast something to my Chromecast, it only displays on the phone in portrait. It appears in landscape on the TV, so no issue there. How do I get the phone...

I know that specs say that 512gb is the maximum capacity for the S10 and 10+ microSD. That said, I've used higher capacity cards in the past than a phone recommended and, so far, things seem to work just fine. Has anyone tried to use the 1TB card? What was your experience? Please don't preach...

One more thing: I highly recommend SMS Backup & Restore. It's the only near-flawless way I've found to move texts from phone to phone or restore history in the event of a reset. I have mine back up daily to Dropbox.

Sorry, overdue reply. Yes, Pulse has, IMHO, more customizability than Textra. I have custom notification tones for select people (e.g. "Mary is texting me," a voice recording). I can blacklist or schedule messages, create folders, do group messages, have password-protected private chats. Like...
