My fingerprint reader worked okay with Android 12 but initially went to crap with Android 13. The latest update fixed it (and batery life and some other thing I don't remember.) ..Tom

Since the last update my battery life has been pretty decent even though most of the time it is on 5g. ..Tom

My S20+ 5g 512 gig on Telus in canada got upgraded yesterday. ..Tom

Thanks! It's not a biggy and won't even try again unless I know in advance how to limit my phone to using 2.7 ghz. Tom

Don't know as I returned them. They have different brand names and work on both frequencies but needed 2.7ghz to setup. ..Tom

No it's my landlord's router. She is not computer literate enough to hide things. I connect fine, just wanted to try some smart LED light bulbs and they seem to only initially setup with 2.4 GHz. Tried two brands and it looked like they use the same software. ..Tom

Hi there, How can I limit my phone to only connect to 2.4ghz wifi? The wifi system does not show separate 2.4 ghz and 5ghz networks. I don't have access to the router. My S20 is running Android 11. Thanks, Tom

Thanks! Ironically I just realized I didn't charge my phone since yesterday before 6:30 am and it's down to 11%. After reading your message I just plugged it in to the 65w charger no issue. Thanks, again! ..Tom

Just curious. My Notebook has a 65 watt Max USB charger. Is the charging setup with USB C smart enough to charge my Galaxy S20+ from this charger? My gut says it should be but I don't want to try it until i am sure. ..Tom

I have to correct myself. I have Firestick, Roku and Chromecast connected to my (Samsung) TV. Any Casts go to the Chromecast. ...Tom

Hi All, I was casting from an app (Rogers Ignite TV) to the Firestick plugged into my TV. I restarted my S20+ 5G (running Android 11) while the app was still Casting and the phone restarted as expected. What I didn't expect was that the casting continued and never missed a beat through the...

I'm sure you checked that the volume is up? Assuming the above is the case Do the pull down to see notifications and see if there is a "smart things" notification. It may have a choice of where the sound goes. You can have a connection to a tv and direct sound to the tv, the phone or a...

I installed gboard and the issue disappeared. Thanks, ..Tom

Hi there, I am enjoying using my S20+ 5g. It's my first phone without a fixed keyword and works well. I am using the Samsung keyboard and generally am happy with it. I do find I have issues when typing in the adress/search field in Chrome. The keyboard tries to be helpful by adding a button...

Hi there, I use my timer a lot for different things. I could set one or more timers and then do other stuff with confidence that the timer would alert me when finished no matter what the state of the phone was. Lately (since Android 11 upgrade?) The timer doesn't alert me when in the...
