    Phone tells me to upgrade - as soon as I've upgraded!

    Sycoreaper--I'm perfectly happy to blame AT&T *and* Samsung. And in some psycho way, it was reassuring that to learn that this is a known bug. Thanks. And you're right about obsessing--let it go. Bdiddy--yes, everything is up to date--I compulsively checked twice. I was about to clear caches...

    Phone tells me to upgrade - as soon as I've upgraded!

    As soon as I perform the required. system/one UI updates, I get a notice that my system needs upgrading. I upgrade again. It finishes and reboots, then sends me the identical notification again. Out of curiosity, I upgraded three times in a row, five minutes apart, and rebooted between each...

    Internal storage slowly eaten by system

    Not to hijack this question, but... Are there any decent duplicate files finders/remover apps out there anymore? My current problem is with duplicate music files, but I may want to go beyond that later. Thanks, sfrrr Samsung Galaxy 21 Ultra running Android 11, Aug 2022

    Why is the task bar at the top of my screen showing that my location function is turned on...

    Re: Why is my task bar at the top of my screen showing that my location function is turned on when E I'm such an *****! I didn't do a hard reboot before posting my query here. A plain hard reboot did it. I didn't get as far as safe mode. I'll save it for if/when it happens again. Thanks, Sfrrr

    Why is the task bar at the top of my screen showing that my location function is turned on...

    This just started and it's never happened before. The Location notification icon in the top right part of the bar is lit (between the Bluetooth icon and the wifi icon). The dropdown tool bar says it's off, unlit, not turned on, nada. In the Settings app, Location is also turned off, and...

    Galaxy stylus responsiveness

    To fuzzylumpkin: doesn't vary with the app. Stylus just doesn't work in the two upper corners. But To the touch screen is working since my finger touch registers. So weird. sfrrr

    Galaxy stylus responsiveness

    Another idle question: how does the stylus for s21 ultra work? Is it just a thinner version of those stylii we used to use on the very earliest Galaxy and Pixel units? --sfrrr

    Galaxy stylus responsiveness

    Does anyone else have this problem? The two upper corners of my screen appear to be dead to the Samsung stylus, but not to a finger tap. --sfrrr

    s21 ultra laggy with Nova Launcher

    No problems with responsiveness, but then I don't use gestures. I'm stylus-dependant. My only problem (and it's probably due to user error) is that I've set up a 5x5 grid, but some icons seem to be bigger or more powerful than others. I mean to say that even when I've fiddled with the Bring to...

    Can't set Google calendar as my default

    I was all set to go with Package disabler Pro (paid) but they wanted me to pay by charging directly through them. I don't send my credit card info over the airways. (Everyone has their thing, and that's mine.) So i tried tinkering again, following your directions. I went into the Samsung...
