It looks like that did the trick. Wow. That's crazy that doing a system update would totally screw up the playback of your audio apps by putting them in some battery management mode leaving you having to figure out what changed. Now if I could get my Sony play memories app to work as it did...

Maybe get a small rat tail file and just reach into the pen opening and file the glue down until it can fit.

OK. I have never seen that setting. I looked and indeed Amazon Music, Plex and OG Yoputube apps were all enabled for battery optimization. I will try that change and let you know later if it did the trick.

I have the Note 9 on Verizon. After I allowed the android system update for 9.0/Pie I've had several issues. The most annoying one is that my background audio skips often. It usually starts to happen after I answer a call and after the call ends and the audio resumes. I'm usually using...

Hey thanks! That is great.

I already have that setting on. Under the setting it literally says "Prevent the screen from turning on accidently while the phone is in a dark place such as a pocket or bag". But no dice. :-/

In a protective case but no screen protector. I don't bother with those anymore. They have to be changed often to look good and the last few phones I've had (Lumia's etc) I've gone a year or two with no scratches even though I'm a hard working man and drop my phone every now and then. I focus on...

Now that the title got your attention just know that I am not here to bash the phone. I like it overall. But there are a few issues with it that are a big deal to me and maybe others have have figured them out. #1 The Alarm. I already changed the setting so it will snooze more than 3 times...

I stop using screen protectors since my S4 Using them loses the feel of the glass and they often just get scratched and need replacing all the time. It was eventually deemed not worth it so I just use the bare screens with a phone case to protect the sides and be careful. I am a commercial HVAC...

With the case I bought for the phone, I feel for the opening around the FP scanner and camera and am able to land my finger on the FP just fine without touching the camera lens. Without the phone case I don't think I'd have a chance at placing my finger in the correct place each time.

I don't know if I would say these are reasons to HATE the phone but some things I miss from leaving my Lumia 950XL Windows Phone are the dedicated two stage camera button, which could both wake the phone and take photos, and the other is the Skype Integration with SMS/MMS texting. I was able to...

Hmm... I thought the purpose of "Gorilla Glass" was to no longer be subjected to scratches from everyday use? I just got my S8+ a few days ago. I just came from using the Lumia line of phones for the past 4 years or so since my last Samsung S series phones. I stopped using screen protectors...

Need to remap that button to Cortana :-D

Nice write up, I'll have to give this a shot. About uninstalling HTC Sync. Do you think I could just keep that program from starting by removing it from windows start until I'm all done or is there some other reason I have to have it totally un installed? I just figured shutting it down would...
