Bingo! VPN. Turned it off and the backup is zooming along. Thanks 10e6!

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it, but it didn't make a difference.

Hi, all I just upgraded to Android 12 on my Galaxy S10e. WhatsApp is taking forever to do a backup to Google Drive, something that I never noticed on Android 11. I have tried all the standard suggestions for slow WhatsApp backup - clear WhatsApp cache, delete old backup on Google Drive, etc...

Indeed - you may notice that I'm the one who started that other thread ;) I'm still trying to determine whether all flavours of Android 11 disable the FM chip on the S10 series, or only Telus and certain others.

You can use Bixby Routines to create a rule that mutes the System volume while Camera is the active app.

Is anyone using NextRadio successfully on Android 11? It worked fine on my S10e (Telus) under Android 10, but as soon as I upgraded to Android 11 I got the dreaded "FM Radio is Unavailable" message.

Given that this problem has been reported on Rogers and Bell in Canada, and T Mobile (and possibly AT&T) in the USA, but no one has replied that they have FM working under Android 11, it really looks to me like it's Samsung rather than the carrier.

Thanks for the suggestion. Battery optimization is turned off for Calendar, and "Allow background activity" is turned on. I believe the Calendar Storage app is involved in reminders. It also has battery optimization turned off.

I have a daily calendar event - a reminder to water the garden - with a reminder set to go off at the start of the event. Some days I get a notification, but often I don't. I'm on Android 11. I used to have this problem under Android 10, and I was hoping it would go away with the update, but...

As I mentioned in another thread, I used to use NextRadio to listen to over-the-air FM radio on my Galaxy S10e under Android 10. This stopped working after I upgraded to Android 11. I'd like to determine whether it's the phone provider (Rogers Canada) or Samsung who is responsible for disabling...

mustang7757: Do you mean you don't see NextRadio in the Play Store?

wilsodw: Do you know of another app that really uses the FM tuner in the phone, rather than streaming from radio stations over the internet? If so, please tell me which app(s) you use.

Here's a screenshot
