Google says this about the phase out of Samsung Messages. Samsung is phasing out the native Samsung Messages app in favor of Google Messages, which is now the default app on new devices like the Galaxy S25. While older phones can still use Samsung Messages, it no longer supports RCS (Rich...

Samsung is phasing out Samsung Messages. Since you've confirmed that you've searched the Galaxy Store and cannot find it, I'm guessing it starts with the newest flagship, no more Sammy Messages. When asked about Samsung Messages being phased out Google said this. Samsung is phasing out the...

This setting literally disables all USB functions. Turn off "Charge Connected Devices". What is the result of turning this off? If you're saying that you cannot change this setting when trying this with the HDMI cable, plug in a regular USB, connect to something like a laptop or PC, change the...

Turn off "Charge Connected Devices" What is the result....

Welcome to the most recent "update". Samsung has disabled this ability, if not with One UI 8 for your device, then with one of the recent security patch updates. Having seen this multiple times in recent weeks I asked Google what Samsung has put in place to replace this option. This was the...

Welcome to Android Central forums. Without more information, it is difficult to "guess" what it might be but I imagine it is the resume media option that some devices have. Disable Media Resumption in Android Settings This prevents Android from remembering the last played media and trying to...

Let's start at the top. 1 As for the flashlight, Are you using the quick settings panel at the top of the notification bar to cycle the flashlight? To use this feature, you have to wake the screen, either double tap the screen to wake or press the power button, draw down from the top to show...

Personally, I would get the S24U. Has everything the S26 will have except for the mixed review screen with it's one trick, everything else is software which we will all get with 8.5. Plus it still has 5 years of updates, same battery, same cameras, and a fraction of the cost. But that's just me...

I started the response below and was reviewing the posts and noticed that you have "Charge Connected Devices" enabled. This is not to charge your phone, this is to charge the external device, whatever your phone is connected to. When in this mode it disables the USB actions. That is why they are...

I noticed that too, that the OP has WiFi location disabled, which is supposed to make your location more precise but even without it 4k is a lot. Something else that Madd62 brought to mind is your location always off in the same amount? Is it always ~4k? Is it always off in the same...

I don't really see any settings in those images, but I also don't have Xiaomi to know what their settings look like. Anyway, I have questions before trying to offer advice. When did you notice this issue, is it new or has it been happening for a while? Where are you seeing this location...

No. Like many with the S24U, that also held out over the S25U, I'm not ready to give up my BT SPen. Plus the 24 still has 5 more years of updates. Then with more coming out about the screen everyday as it's shine starts to break in, It's their one trick this year. Speaking of I just saw this...

If everything is up to date and all of that, my first thought would be to clear the cache for BT. Settings>Apps>tap the sort icon at the top of the app list>select Show system apps>OK>Bluetooth Agent>Storage>Clear cache. You could probably clear the data too, not sure if that would cause you to...

Really that should be it, I don't see why if it worked in the past this setting would make difference now, but you can also try enabling USB Debugging in Developer Options. Settings>About phone>System information>tap build number 7 times to unlock Developer Mode menu>back out one level>Developer...

Yeah, that's weird for sure. Let's clear the cache for your USB options app. Settings>Apps>click the small sort icon above the app list and enable system apps>USBSettings>Storage>Clear cache. You could clear the data for this one too because there really isn't any saved information for this app...
