    Freezing/"buffering"/stopped videos on S23 Ultra

    I'm having the exact problem. I've had two s23 Ultra's in the past week as I had a problem and they replaced the first one. Both have that hiccup. Driving me crazy. It doesn't matter if I'm on mine or others wifi or on 5 G. Has anyone figured this out yet? Brand new SIM. Thanks. Mine is an...

    I feel like I've outgrown Android Central

    Well I see what you mean, although I'm not that into the technical side of the phone that I still need help with so many items. I joined in 2010 and this forum was so great that if you asked a question you'd get 10 answers within the first hour. Now it can be days or never until you get one...

    Show us your pictures.

    Laura, thank you. That's what I thought but in Samsung's writings they say "camera 1, 2 & 3" Also there's an option in the camera app under video and then more called director cut. It shows all three cameras at the same time. But I'm sure that zooming does it like my other galaxy phones have...

    Question S23 Ultra problem with photo attachments on Facebook or email.

    Received my new phone today and everything seemed to transfer perfectly including the gallery (with over 15,000 photos). My photos are all newest first and always have been whenever I was in another program and tried to attach one or more they show up exactly as shown in the gallery, so it's...

    I couldn't find a thread for this but have a camera question. I get my unlocked S23 Ultra tomorrow from Samsung. Going from a s20+. Buying it for the 10 times optical zoom but still hate losing my SD card. Anyway in reading the reviews it says the 10 x optical is on camera two. Made it sound...

    Using phone with no SIM card

    Yes, put the phone in airplane mode and connect to wifi and you can browse the web, stream TV, use social media including messenger and also use all of your apps as long as they don't need your phone itself like make calls or for texting.

    Sending text message to short codes

    Thank you for the tip as I'm having problems receiving short code messages from my cell phone provider. Problem is I don't either see or understand where you found the fix. Anyway you could walk us thru what you did. I search short codes and nothing comes up. I'm on a Galaxy S20+ with all the...

    Leaving the country at times and want a VPN to watch YouTube TV while away

    I'm leaving on Saturday and ready to download NordVPN. The main question is asking anyone if they have YouTube TV (not just You Tube). Nord told me it won't work with Android, but would on a laptop. Has anyone tried it on their Android? I want to watch my recorded programs at night. Thank you.

    Where is the December 2021 monthly update?

    Unlocked S20+, downloading it now. I'm on T-Mobile but don't think that makes a difference since I was on another carrier before them.

    S20+: When was your last update?

    I finally received an update on Aug. 31st. First one since early June. Unlocked now on T-Mobile.

    S20+: When was your last update?

    I was just getting ready to ask the same question. I also have an unlocked S20+ that I originally had on Sprint now on T-Mobile (but not flashed to them). I have not had an update since June 12th. Just keep getting "Your software is up to date." Could that be? Thanks for any answers.

    What does it really mean that the S7 [edited by Mod] will get no more updates?

    Re: What does it really mean that the S20 will get no more updates? I never got a January update. I have a S20+ unlocked.

    is the S21+ an upgrade?

    Well, there is absolutely no reason for me to upgrade now. Why do they insist on removing the SD Card? I feel this is the biggest reason not to get an iPhone. I mean, we know why, they make you pay much more for the larger capacity phone and then they'll sell you cloud space.

    Update is out

    Well it seems today the Oct. Update is included in the link. Wonder when the unlocked versions will get it. Last month was very late but the months before that were early. Who knows!
