    Google messages chat issue

    I'm with AT&T and have an AT&T branded S20 5G. Since first activating the chat feature on my old phone, I have had 2 issues with this service. The first was when moving from my Xperia to the S20 last summer. I was missing all replies from my cousin and brother until I turned on my old phone...

    Face Recognition not working well since Android 11 update

    Has anyone else had this issue? I got the Android 11 update about 2 weeks ago on my S20, and since then, I've noticed that face recognition often says that my face doesn't match or it appears to not even attempt to scan my face (just shows a lock icon under the camera with no indication that it...

    G5 Plus won't power on

    I picked it up from my brother this morning where I believe he had it charging overnight. I've had it charging at my house for at least an hour so far with no change yet.

    G5 Plus won't power on

    My brother switched from Moto G5 Plus to ask improve last month. He recently tried turning on his old phone to check one of his apps, but the phone will not turn on at all. I've found articles mentioning performing a soft reset with volume up plus power and articles that say volume down plus...

    Android Messages app chat feature question

    At the end of August, I switched from an LG V40 to a Samsung Galaxy S20. I powered off my old phone for about a week before I turned it back on to reset and prepare it for a trade-in. It was only after the old phone powered on that I realized why I hadn't been receiving text replies from my...

    How do I get rid of Bixby?

    I got my S20 on Saturday. Tried to power off my phone during church on Sunday and was instead greeted with "Hi, I'm Bixby." I think it had a tip that guided me to change the side button functions.

    Backing up photos to OneDrive

    I've been using OneDrive camera roll backup for years on Windows Phone, iPhone, and Android, but I'm new to using Samsung. I've tried disconnecting the Samsung Gallery from OneDrive, but I see no other option in OneDrive for camera roll uploads. The only option I see is "Gallery sync." I...

    5G questions

    According to AT&T's support when I called them last month, Oklahoma City has one tower with 5G in the downtown area. I just got my S20 on Saturday and happened to be downtown when I noticed that I was getting a 5G icon next to the antenna indicator. I was on the bottom floor of a shop next to...

    Experiences with AT&T's 5G Evolution?

    It's been a few months since I last visited this thread and about 7 months since I started using my LG V40. I've still never seen a "5G E" badge next to my antenna icon, but I did some speed tests at my office yesterday. The previous highest speeds I've seen from my office were about 35 Mbps...

    Voice Commands Not Working

    Since my last reply 3 months ago, my LG V40 has received an upgrade from Android 9 to Android 10, and I've performed a factory reset without restoring from a backup. There was still no change to the behavior of the Android Auto voice commands. I noticed a new icon last night (June 5, 2020) next...

    Phone no longer retains default home app

    I have actually been using Edge since I first switched from Windows Phone to Android about 2 years ago. I tried factory resetting my phone before I saw this reply and the problem continued. I'm not sure how the browser would cause this issue with the default home app. For now, I've tried...

    Phone no longer retains default home app

    This week, my phone stopped retaining the default home (launcher) app. Every few minutes when I tap the home button, I am prompted to select which launcher to use and whether I want to use it "just once" or "always." If I select "just once" and then check my default apps, it shows there is...

    Voice Commands Not Working

    This sounds like a problem I've noticed recently. I don't use voice commands regularly, but it always worked great in the past when I would say "Hey Google" and give a command. Around mid-February 2020, I started noticing that the car would not execute commands properly. Most of the time, the...

    Which Android Auto-compatible MP3 player do you use?

    When I got my new car last August, I had a Sony Xperia XZ Premium and I like the "Music" app from Sony Mobile Communications that was pre-installed on the phone. Unfortunately, that phone stopped working, and the app is not compatible with my LG V40. I am pretty sure I was able to install it for...

    Experiences with AT&T's 5G Evolution?

    I know that 5G E is not actual 5G and is an upgraded version of LTE. My question is more about recent real-world experience on phones that are recognizing AT&T's new network and display the 5G E icon. As mentioned in my original post, the most recent speed test results I've found from reviews...
