did you reboot the phone? did you install anything recently? you could put it in safe mode to see if a 3rd party app is causing it

Safe Mode | SAMSUNG Galaxy S23 FE

Check out how to get access to Hidden Mode called Safe Mode. In this tutorial you will see how to enter and how to quit Safe Mode.

Thank you for the suggestion! I've had to clear my cache partition a few more times since I made this post, as the problem does recur from time to time.

Only problem is, I used Samsung Smart Switch to migrate lots of apps over from my previous phone, so I'm not sure whether rebooting into Safe Mode is going to help me much, as it's not like I only just recently installed one app that could be a problem; there are lots of apps on here, all installed at once during that Smart Switch process.

Are there any kind of system logs or something that might reveal which app is causing my problem?

Credit Card Fraud Alert

Back in the early 2000's there was a family consisting of a mom, son and daughter that were running an identity theft/credit card fraud scam in las vegas.
The mom/daughter would steal a purse (sometimes leaving a purse behind so when security/surveillance investigated it would appear a guest accidentally grabbed the wrong purse.,) once the purse was acquired. The mom/daughter would take it to the son who would be waiting in a van. He had a mini work shop set up, he would carefully remove the victims picture from the ID/drivers license and then replace it with a picture of his mom or sister.
The mom/sister would go to the cage and then get a cash advance on the credit card for $50-$200 . Sometimes they would hit two or three casinos. They also did during the day time when the casinos were busy and the cashiers were trying to handle as many transactions as possible and weren't really paying attention.
So one day this family arrived at a particular casino , they located a victim and thirty minutes later the mom is the main casino cage trying to get a $200 cash advance on a credit card.
This is where the scam came to an end. It would turn out that the cashier was kind of familiar with the address on the ID and the person who lived there. The address on the ID was that of the cashiers parents neighbor in their hometown. The cashier ran a check and found their neighbor was playing some slot machine.
The cashier delayed the transaction claiming some computer error. Security and surveillance were advised of the situation. Surveillance went back and started reviewing the neighbor and soon discovered that the daughter had stolen the purse, taken it to the brother and then the mom had gone to the cage. If I remember right, there had been two other incidents at this casino involving this family.
Security contacted the Las Vegas police department explained the situation and units were dispatched. All members of the family were arrested. Inside of the van they found dozens and dozens of purses and wallets.

The old adage, "Crime doesn't pay" is true. Get a real job and you'll make far more money, with a clear conscience, if you work wisely.

Dangers of Auto Renew

I've never heard of this before: is it a US thing?

I've had important things fail to renew because the card had expired and the company made no serious attempt to tell me that the renewal had failed (sending an email whose subject line is "Your policy renewal" on the day you expect the renewal confirmation email is not a serious attempt to warn you that the renewal has failed...). I've never had anything renew on an expired card.

I have no idea if other countries do this.

Like you, I've had credit cards expire and I get a notice. I have auto renew with Google Fi and if my card expires or the number change I get an email from Google Fi saying I have 5 days to add a new card or my phone number will shut off.

Oklahoma Schools Ordered To Teach The Bible

Windroid
On a related note: Half of US Republicans say that it's important to be Christan to be truly American. As an American, a Republican, and a right-winger: I find that disturbing. While I apricate the values of Christianity: The idea that you must be Christan to be a real American is, itself, anti-American!

I'm a Republican because I support small government, because I'm for free trade and freedom. Not because I want to shove religion down everyone's throat. I'm saddened and embarrassed by this poll.

Google Refurbished Pixel Fold

sachertorte
Right now, if the Z Fold and the Google Pixel stay the same size format, I am pretty sure that my next phone would be a Google Pixel Fold.

Edit: Ok, scratch the idea of going Google Pixel Fold in the future. From what I have seen, the next Pixel Fold is supposed to be going Z Fold form factor. Not much sense buying the slightly inferior (GUI and Hardware) Pixel Fold to get the Z Fold format. Might as well just buy a Z Fold.

Samsung A7 tablet, I want data, please help

So if you have Unlimited everything they shouldn't be charging you for data and other stuff if you are using your phone as a ( Hotspot ) ?
Click to expand...
typically the wireless telcos provide data plans that treat everything as data: phone calls, text, and internet; the hotspot is sometimes metered even if you have Unlimited, I know that Verizon and T-Mobile have a quiet policy of throttling after one crosses the threshold of 22GB/month of data, usually this happens when you spend many hours streaming movies or other video content on the phone. So this entails choking the bandwidth speed to make it run slower and cause you to not use the phone as much till next month begins. No extra charge, just a kind of pushing you off to where you can't watch a movie without it buffering constantly.

My Samsung Galaxy Note II is back baby!

joe71
My wife started a note craze at work place with the note 2. She was using it in the employee dinning room and some executive saw her and inquire about it. Which led to more inquiries and eventually multiple people had it. She used it till the note 7 came out and went back to after the note 7 fiasco :thumbsdowndroid:. In it's last six months we had purchased three batteries for it because the batteries were lasting two-four hours eventually it became a play phone for the daughter and I think was trade in towards the note 8 (which the wife didn't like)
