Re: Data on/off toggle

Keep mobile data toggle always on and switch WiFi on & off from the notification shade.

Transfer data

The data transfer from my samsung to Pixel 3 was almost perfect. 1 app, Samsung’s MEMOS app did not. It's not in the play store. Can you recommend a Google equivalent? Thanks.

Re: Sounds

Power+ Volumeup at same time.

Keep mobile data toggle always on and switch WiFi on & off from the notification shade.

Remember, this might be dangerous. If you are currently using mobile data and you move to a wifi area, your phone might sometimes not switch to wifi automatically and you might end up using your data cap. I know that most mobile processors have the capability today to switch automatically but you can't be sure.

Agreed, the quickest way usually is not the safest

Didn't know about this. I usually double finger swipe down on notification and hit DND

Re: Data on/off toggle

Thanks. I'm used to the Samsung’s quick settings icons. I miss the icons. It was so much easier to toggle to turn on and off the data and sound.

I'm puzzled - the stock launcher supports Quick Settings.

Re: Transfer data

What's wrong with Keep Notes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.keep
?

Re: Transfer data

I use keep as well for notes, check lists, etc. Can be accessed from web as well, keep.google.com

Re: Transfer data

Microsoft One Note is great and will sync from your phone to computers.

There is no simpler way to mute.

I use a app called bxactions in the playstore. It allows you to use the bixby button on Samsung phones to toggle between Mute, vibrate and silence like IPhones.

Close open apps

How do I close all open apps at once. My samsung all I had to do was to hit the left hand button and bring up all inactive apps and delete all of them with 1 click. Thanks

Re: Close open apps

Bring up the recent apps and scroll all the way to the right and you will see a clear all button. Honestly never had to use clear all in a long time on Android or iOS

That doesn't help for a Pixel phone.

Re: Close open apps

Thanks. I was concerned about the data using memory. Thanks again

Notification problems

I can't find the proper procedure to be able to create a sound notification for my email account and Textra. It worked fine on my old Samsung. What do I need to do to get this fixed? Thanks
