    5G is painfully slow.

    I can't switch networks with Verizon like you can. Thankfully they finally fixed it. All the signals work which is a big relief.

    5G is painfully slow.

    It's been fun *watching* Verizon work today on the signal. Started with a 5G icon. Then in and out of 5G/4G. Then a solid hour or so in 4G. Now a 5G UW icon with a fast speed test of 244 to no Internet, lol. So they are working on this and it's appreciated.

    5G is painfully slow.

    So I switched back to Verizon kicking and screaming for a couple of reasons and on December 22, I stayed on the phone with Verizon when at times I wanted to scream and hang up until they put me through to Tier 2 support, where finally a ticket to the engineers was submitted. Today, January 4, I...

    Put it this way, Get used to switching on and off airplane mode a lot to get your 5G to behave.

    5G is painfully slow.

    Good grief, last night I had to go off my Wi-Fi at my house and I noticed the signal was saying 5G versus LTE ... and what nightmare! I am with Spectrum, they use Verizon towers, and the service is now just ridiculous. My phone is unlocked. I also have a Note 20 Ultra (old Verizon phone) and it...

    I do have a bunch of files on it, so I will just use the flash drive.

    Ever since I got this Windows 11 computer almost two years ago, I have used the insider because I wanted to get one of my games on the computer and had to have the insider. But something is definitely blocking the connection because I can hear it wanting to connect to the phone with the USB. And...

    Getting an S22 Ultra unlocked refurbished tomorrow.

    It was $700. The screen is perfect, and it works great. I get a 90 return, replace and I am planning on trading in my Note 20 Ultra to amazon and getting a $250 credit.

    Okay, I think I am just going to go with that dual flash drive. With an adaptor my phone will recognize a flash drive. I just don't have one with enough space. So, I will back up my phone and then save on my computer. I can't just use the Samsung PC because my computer for whatever reason is not...

    I did not know there was smart switch for the PC. I will definitely download that and have it handy. Thanks everyone for all the tips! I am switching phone carriers too this week. Been with Verizon since before it was even Verizon. Going to Spectrum mobile to save some money. I can get a $30 a...

    I found an adaptor and tried to connect with my external hard drive, and this was the message I got.

    Hey, thanks for that tip. I have a couple of external hard drives and I might even have an adaptor in the house. If not, I can get an inexpensive one.

    Maybe because the music was on the SD card it did not sync over? I am going to get one of those handy dual drive flash drives, so I don't have to worry about this again. Can you back up all the contents of your phone onto the flash drive or just pictures, music and documents? Can you do apps and...

    So, I am finally coming up for air. Even with Smart Switch, customizing is a day+ long challenge. I am sure I will find something else to do, well, I still do have a few things on my list, but my weekend cooking is calling my name. So far, I really like the phone. It is a little heavier than the...
