Was excited to get my new S22 Ultra. Had it for a week and started to have bad echo feedback on my end. The person on the other end didn't hear it, just me. It was so annoying, I couldn't talk on the phone. Called T-Mobile and 2 techs suggested tweaks to resolve the issue, but they didn't...

Using Note 10+. After the Android 11 update, I noticed when I add a new contact, it doesn't always show in my contact list on my phone. I have my contacts set to my Google account for syncing. I can search for them and find them, but it's weird they don't show in my contacts. I added a new...

Updated to Android 12 a few days ago. Phone is faster. Used to be when I opened a screen, it opened slower, now the screen and apps open instantly. Like the battery protection feature. My camera seems to take better photos. Don't like that the Battery and Device Care screen no longer shows...

I did that and checked my phone settings and all is good. Still no go. If I unlock my phone, I can make calls through my radio. Making calls through my radio before worked flawlessly with my phone locked. There has to be a setting somewhere I don't know about. I am stumped by this.

After a recent software update on my Note 10+, I cannot initiate a call on my phone over bluetooth using my car radio. I tap the call function on my radio and tell it to call someone. The radio tells me I have to unlock my phone before I can make the call. Previously, I did not have this...

I have the Note 10+ and am so frustrated with the stupid Assistant Menu icon on the home screen. I can't hide it anymore. I prefer single tap to answer calls and that feature is only available in the Assistant Menu to enable the function. Don't know why this function isn't under the "Answering...

I still use an SD card. Have the 256G card from an old Note promotion and my 10+ has 512G internal storage. Store mostly pics and video on the SD card. Notes are getting so expensive, I'll probably keep my 10+ for another couple of years before I upgrade. Just want to make sure my storage...

Came from the Note 8, which has great call volume through the internal earpiece and speakerphone and excellent volume with audio playback from other apps. The 10+ speakerphone volume is noticeably not as loud as my Note 8, and the extra volume function icon is missing on the call screen. Also...

Thanks, mach1man! I dragged it off of the screen and tap still answers the call. Awesome!

I received my Note 10+ yesterday, and I go way back with Note phones starting with the Note 2. I've always been able to change the function of answering the call with a single tap of the answer call icon instead of sliding it. Didn't see the option in the Note 10+ and a Samsung rep confirmed...

I prefer to keep my Note 8 the way it is and don't want to update. I keep postponing the update to later and am worried it will automatically install at some point. How do I disable teh software update? Thanks.

My Note 8 wouldn't record calls after the update. Downloaded several call recorders and none would work. I posted a message in the forum and was provided with a couple of call recorder apps. Tried Call Recorder by Skvalex and Total Call by Killer Mobile. Neither app recorded calls, not even...

Thanks, Ed!! This call recorder works on my Note 8. Much appreciated man.

Tried these app suggestions: Call Recorder by Skvalex and Total Recall by Killer Mobile. No success. Neither app recorded calls. I did read in Play Store, Total Recall reviews that someone couldn't get it to work on their S9. The company replied back stating: "Unfortunately it appears that...

Prior to posting, I had researched the issue. I saw that the Oreo update borked app badge counts. Most suggestions were to use Nova or Apex launchers. Thought maybe someone discovered a work around without having to install a launcher. Hope this gets fixed very soon.
