S20 FE, who's thinking about it?

[srgonu]

Dex and secure folder are the most important reasons I stay with Samsung phones. I would rather go for pixel instead of buying Galaxy phone and disabling them.

Thanks again

Everyone different , when time presents itself I'll enable them.

Thanks again

Welcome!

OK so now I have a problem. I do not want this Knox thing on my phone. It is remote management, isn't it? I do not want that and the Package Disabler is insisting that I give an OK for it.
So I then try and uninstall Package Disabler and am told I cannot uninstall it.
Great!
Now what?

***NEVER MIND, I FIGURED OUT HOW TO UNINSTALL IT***

Knox is part of your phone's security and was already on it before you installed Package Disabler Pro.

Why then is Package Disabler Pro asking me to allow it?

I'm just confused and am sorry for being so. When I installed PDP I was given a choice to CANCEL, UNINSTALL, or SECURITY. I pushed SECURITY to see what that was all about. I did not want to approve Knox but all that did was kick me out of the app, and I could not start it again without once again being asked to approve Knox. Should I just have ignored the SECURITY option to begin with and just go to UNINSTALL? Do I need to approve Knox in the app in order to use it?
Thanks for your patience. Like I said I am just confused by this.

Knox is trying to protect you in a similar way as when you get the alert about downloading an apk from unknown sources outside of the Play or Galaxy stores. You have to OK use of PDP in the same way you have to OK the download of apks from unknown sources.

This is true for me. Those two features are must haves once you use them. No other phone has it.

Thought about it...bought it...used it for several days...returning it. This will most likely be my last Samsung phone. Had the 7 (I think??), hated it, sold it on Ebay, the 10e (sent it back to AT&T) and now returning the S20 fe. Terrible quality control. Samsung has become too big for their own britches. OnePlus 8t...here I come! Had the 6, and the 7 Pro...both flawless phones operationally. No comparison. SMH

So... what was actually wrong with the one you had?

Honestly, "terrible quality control" doesn't really tell us anything. It helps to be a bit more specific. Like, what didn't work to your expectations? Was something loose, or did the buttons fall off... stuff like that is more helpful.

Sounds more like a personal preference situation.

Ain't a 20 FE a cheap Phone ?

Did you not get what you paid for?

I wouldn't call $700 cheap... I'd be unhappy if I paid that much and buttons were falling off.

You could post in the question forum.

Nobody's buttons are falling off. But yes, $700, 3 years ago would have been a top-priced flagship. We've gotten used to phones costing $1-2,000.. But the fe is far from cheap!
