    Can my S20 provide internet through the USB-C and terminate in an RJ45 jack?

    Do a search for USB-C to ethernet adapter. They range from about $10 to $20. I got mine yesterday and it works. There's lots of them at Amazon.

    Can my S20 provide internet through the USB-C and terminate in an RJ45 jack?

    Yes, I've used a "pocket router" or "travel router" but that requires an outdoor outlet and probably an extension cord. The phone adapter is the best and easiest. I don't need anything else with that.

    Can my S20 provide internet through the USB-C and terminate in an RJ45 jack?

    The app won't work if the camera doesn't know what wifi network to connect to. Once the wifi is lost, you have to plug in a cable to fix it with the app.

    Can my S20 provide internet through the USB-C and terminate in an RJ45 jack?

    As I stated in my original question, I also need the adapter so I can plug into security cameras at outdoor remote locations when there's a problem with them connecting to wifi or to troubleshoot other problems. Plugging a cable into it is the only way to figure out what's wrong if the wifi...

    Can my S20 provide internet through the USB-C and terminate in an RJ45 jack?

    Thanks. I got a "yes, will work" answer at another site from someone who does it occasionally. The steps you sent are the opposite type of connection I was wanting to make. I want the phone and its USB-C to provide internet to the RJ45 jack. Most people use the adapters to provide the laptop...

    Mint Mobile

    I have Mint and I live less than a mile from a T-mobile tower, and I always get full bars reception but I don't recall the 5G speed ever going above 50Mbps. Often, it's as low as 2.5Mbps. I check it every few days. The most common speed I get is in the 20s.

    Can my S20 provide internet through the USB-C and terminate in an RJ45 jack?

    I see a lot of devices for sale that convert an RJ45 jack with internet to a USB-C so the phone can get internet access but I need to do the reverse if possible, and I don't think those devices work in reverse. They all describe providing internet from the RJ45 to the USB-C. Sometimes I need to...

    Visible notification alert

    Thanks everyone. I tried the aodNotify app but it only makes a notification for a couple minutes. I needed something that would flash or do something visible until I got back to my phone which is often more than a couple minutes. It looks like the main problem that was keeping the phone from...

    Visible notification alert

    Thanks but it only flashes one time when the notification first comes across. The sound still happens every three minutes but there's no flashing after the first time.

    Visible notification alert

    According to a post from Dec. 2020, Edge Lighting was removed in an update. I did find Repeat Notifications in the settings which makes the notification sound every three minutes after I miss a call or message, so that's better than nothing.

    Visible notification alert

    I just searched for where that is because I don't recall seeing it. It's supposed to be under Display in Settings but I don't have Edge Screen or Edge Lighting listed, just Edge Panel which doesn't appear to be the same thing.

    Visible notification alert

    All of my past phones had an LED or something that would flash to alert me of a missed call or message but I'm not finding anything like that on my S20. My last phone had a white LED that would keep flashing and it was easily visible. It seems like I have to pick up this phone to know there was...
