I disabled Home Up and then uninstalled Good Lock but the problem persists. There was an update on Galaxy Store for the Oneui Home Screen. I downloaded this but still no luck. As I use one of the features on Notistar I then reinstalled Good Lock. I will just have to live with this until...

OK. I will try that. But should it be turn off Good Lock altogether or just Home Up?

Yes Home Up. Home Up says 6x 8 as does the device Settings. I can manually create extra columns by manoeuvring the app icon. However I assume the configuration enabled in Settings should automatically happen in the Home Screen. The odd thing is that the number of apps on the new Home Screen...

I have just updated my Tab S8 5G to Oneui 7 and find the app grid on 5x6 despite the Settings enabled at 6x8 with 8 columns. I checked with Home Up and it is also set at 6x8. The App drawer has 8 columns. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be appreciated.

Thanks. I changed the battery settings to Unrestricted for the app. I want to leave the frequency on Daily as putting it on Weekly would delay knowing if it was working. I am not sure what you mean by different accounts. I have Whatsapp registered to only one SIM but use the app on all my...

I have the Backup Daily setting enabled in the Whatsapp app on my primary device (the phone with the SIM that my Whatsapp account is registered to). However it never works and I have to backup to Drive manually. This is not specific to my primary device (S21 Fe) as the problem occurred when I...

Thanks. I am not so concerned about logging into Gmail via a browser but more with logging OUT in case an intruder (online or in person) accessed my phone. I usually use the app anyway. But I suppose a non-Google browser or Chrome Incognito would do if I needed browser access.

I think Spartacus is right and there is nothing I can do so as I am signed into Chrome. I think protecting Chrome with AppLock is the way. Google and others are always talking about security but they either make things too difficult or leave holes like this.

The Chrome app on my Android devices.

Thanks I think signing out of Google altogether is a bit much. I think that would mean losing downloaded videos and music from YouTube. I would prefer to simply disable sync for Chrome or to include Chrome under AppLock.

PS I have cleared site data (I don't use Google password manager) but this doesn't solve the problem. You can access the email by simply typing Gmail.com.

Thanks for your replies. I normally access Gmail email via the app. I used it in the browser the other day because I was under the impression (mistaken) that I could set up separate mail folders (as in Yahoo). This is unimportant now as the main concern is signing out of email for security...

Can anyone advise how to sign out of Gmail email in Chrome. I inadvertently opened my Gmail email account in Chrome and now cannot log out of it. I am signed in to Chrome and synced across devices. Looking at the web it seems to suggest that the only way is to sign out of Google completely or...

No they didn't factory reset it when replacing the battery. Sorry about late reply.

I did the reset about 2 weeks ago. The new battery was only put in yesterday. Perhaps it needs more time to sort itself out. According to Device Care there are no app issues and there are. None issues in the last 30 days.
