I'll give that a try, thanks. We're off on a trip (with her bulky tablet for music), so responses may be delayed.

I returned the Samsung one to Best Buy and bought one from Amazon (Anker, a name I trust). This behaves better, in that the controls on the headphones (vol up, vol down, pause/play) all work (they didn't with the Samsung dongle), but the audio output still goes to the phone speaker, not the...

Sorry, was asleep. My 2nd pair of headphones behave the exact same way. Both pairs of headphones work when plugged in to a phone or tablet that has an old-school headphones jack. The device was purchased at Best Buy. I knew buying from (say) Amazon would be a crapshoot. I didn't realize the...

I tried a reboot, but that didn't help. No updates in the galaxy store either. Thanks

Hoping someone can suggest what to check here. I bought this adapter recently to try to connect my wife's headphones to her S21+...

It happens while she is attempting to take photos, so yeah the app is of course open.

Thanks, I will check that out for her.

I'm not the OP (and nor is my wife :D) but my wife has a hard time with the camera app on her S21+. It's constantly going into some mode she has no idea how to correct, and I can't help much because I rarely take photos and am using a Pixel 5. IMO they need a "simple" mode, like most...

I was thinking Wi-Fi calling also worked for MMS, but I could well be wrong about that. Moral of the story - switch the wife's S21+ to Google Messages and pretend "the icon just changed color" :-D

Shouldn't either messaging app (Google or Samsung) just plain work on Wi-Fi provided the phone is set up for Wi-Fi calling? Without the added complexity of needing RCS enabled at both ends? I have an interest in this because we have very poor AT&T service at the house and around the...

You would have thought that Google would have added an "are your sure?" prompt under those circumstances.

I haven't ripped a CD in probably 5 years. Guess I'm stuck in the 70s :-D

Yeah, same here.

I like my Pixel 4a and the wife likes her S21+, but it's nonsense like this, plus OS upgrades having to depend on your service provider, that tells me I should give up and buy iPhones. I probably won't though.

My wife and I use Samsung Music Player on our Galaxy Tab As and her Galaxy S21+ (my phone isn't a Samsung). It seems to work well based on the few times we have used it. But we are not power user by any means, just select an album and play it.
