    Question Samsung Modes and Routines Help Please

    It would help to know which phone you have so we can help more. Since you mention Modes/Routines, I'm guessing you have a Samsung phone. If that's the case, you should be able to just delete whatever Routine you have and create a new one with an easy to follow IF this THEN that format. You...

    26u Discoveries

    That's cool! It's gotta be Notes feature, but one that has yet to trickle down to other devices (for instance, I got the laser pointer feature on my phone months before I saw it on my tablet). Right now, I don't see the music sheet option on a Flip 7 or Tab S9, so yeah... might be a 'newer...

    Notification Sounds

    Not custom sounds, app defaults (like the Snapchat ringtone). Those are the ones that are affected by SmartSwitch. Custom ringtones/notifications are not.

    Notification Sounds

    Not the issue OP is having. When you use SmartSwitch to move/re-install apps (and this has happened for at least the past three generations), app-provided sounds are somehow lost/not enabled. For instance, if you prefer to use the Snapchat or Outlook or FB Messenger native notification sound...

    Notification Sounds

    And that's exactly the problem. SmartSwitch moves apps without certain app-default sounds and settings.

    Screen Lock Routine or Widget?

    What about enabling the 'Double tap to turn on/off screen' option? (Settings/Advanced features) Only downside is it only works while on the Home or Lock screen, but I guess it would be the same downside as a widget.

    Screen Lock Routine or Widget?

    Maybe that was part of Routines+? (Not sure if that may have 'broken' if it hasn't been updated to 8.5 yet)

    Verify Google account

    I've never used Chrome's Password Manager, but if I open its settings, I don't see anything about 2FA (there's an option to enable/disable on-device encryption, but not 2FA). Is your Google Account added to the new phone? Are you trying to use a password or a passkey (the latter is created per...

    Verify Google account

    Is it a specific Password manager? If so, you'd have to check within its settings to see which devices/accounts are active for 2 Factor authorization. If it's a Samsung Service, it should use all your signed-in devices with your Samsung Account (which you can check within the Samsung Account...

    Pixel 7 to S26: Do RCS messages transfer?

    That's odd, we've moved from iPhone to a Flip 7 and had no issues with their messages (RCS included)... then again, not sure if the reverse holds true for iPhones. On Android devices (or at least Galaxy ones, and I can't see why this wouldn't work with a Pixel), your messages should transfer...

    Question Samsung Galaxy Wallpaper issues?

    You can either zoom in while setting the Wallpaper to fill your screen or you have to re-size your image to the same aspect ratio as your phone. For instance, if you have a Galaxy S25 Ultra, the aspect ratio should be 19.5:9 (resolution 1440x3120). That's the image size (or a factor of) that...

    Question Samsung Galaxy Wallpaper issues?

    You need to adjust your original image to fit the size/ratio of your screen. Just like movies have those black bars on TVs, if the image doesn't 'fit' your screen, you'll either get it zoomed in or cropped out (i.e. the black bars). You can re-size using the built-in Image Editor on your phone.

    Question Why is my contact linked account not showing phone number?

    Not weird, those just never saved to Google. Again, Samsung and Google contacts are two very separate locations. Unless you save the contact explicitly on one service, merge them through the Contacts app, or otherwise copy/export to it, the contact information will NOT flow between the two...

    Question How can i fix the original notification sounds for each app

    If you used SmartSwitch to transfer/re-install apps, that's the culprit. You need to uninstall/re-install each app manually to bring back the 'App Provided Sound' notifications for each one.
