Is Fitbit Premium worth it?

I also have no faith in a paid Fitbit membership doing anything worth that much money.

I took a look at Fitbit and... you're right. As much as Samsung Health misses, it's likely better that Fitbit. Thanks for saving me money!

Yes, I do sleep with my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. I take it off when I wake up and slip it on the charger to top off while I'm having a chiefly cup of coffee. I was looking at the Galaxy Ring: but I don't wear any rings except my wedding ring and I'm not sure I want to wear another one. If I do get a G-Ring, it will be metallic gold to match the wedding ring and I'll wear it on the right hand...

When i bought the Pixel watch 2, i already had a Pixel 8 phone. Syncing the watch to the phone sent all the google apps from one to the other. All google apps work with Samsung, so i didn't have to buy a Galaxy watch. Maybe i'll check out the Galaxy 7 watch when it comes out.👍

Fair point, there are a few things that are nice if you have matching phone/watch (pixel or Galaxy)

Stuck sd tray

D
I've got some good news. After 2 reboots the SD card showed up and it's been working ever since. The phone's charging is not that great, sometimes turbo and others nothing. Rebooting makes it charge, I guess. I have another question about a brand new phone. When I thought the Play wasn't going to work at all, I got a Moto G Stylus. I thought they were always 128 GB, but this is 64. I haven't used it yet because I want to set it up right. I was planning to use the Play's SD for that, but I figure I better not mess with it. There are some apps I wanted to put on SD and put that in the new phone. I can't do that now. Is there some way I could use Bluetooth to send apps to the new phone? Would that be working already on a phone that's barely out of the box? The main thing I want to do is lock it down to keep google and Facebook and that kind of junk from taking over because it's defenseless. I guess I'll have to let it connect to WiFi, but if I could use SD, I wouldn't have to do that.

Take into account the chain of connectivity between your computer to the Internet. Since you're using your phone's connectivity as the source, it's the account with your cellular carrier that's the source of that online access.
Your phone has two ways of getting online access -- WiFi and cellular. The two are very different from each other and are not interchangeable with each other. One relies on a relatively low-powered wireless signal, typically supplied by a router which is itself directly connected to a modem that's connected to an ISP's broadband network. The other relies on a more powerful cellular signal supplied by cellular towers and cellular access points (often located miles/kilometers away), Those cellular signals are supplied by each carrier's cellular network. A WiFi signal and a cellular signal are also themselves different frequencies, so it's always one or other in usage.
Your Android phone's Tethering/Hotspot feature is a workaround solution so you can use your phone as a limited-feature quasi router,but you're expecting your phone to magically allow your computer online access for free. When you don't have WiFi connectivity available, that leaves with the option rely upon mobile data/cellular access.

Thanks for the trouble you went to, to explain all that, svim. I have a general understanding of the situation, now. For me, the bottom line is that, for my limited Internet needs, I am not paying thirty-odd pounds a month to an ISP, but more like eleven pounds. As long as I keep a careful eye on the data usage, all will be well. Thanks again!

What calendar app are you using? I use Google's and it backs it up automatically. And the same goes for samsung. You can also use Samsung's Smart Switch to transfer most of your data.

Sorry, I missed you asking about the calendar app. It's a proprietary one, but I backed it up weekly, so I still have those.

Help Investigate surge in data usage?

Hadron
Are you actually sure you mean "USB tethering" to sync a Windows app with Android? I generally understand that term to mean "sharing the phone's internet connection via USB", which isn't the same as just allowing file transfer between the computer and phone. It's not obvious to me why you'd need USB tethering to sync an app, but of course I don't know what this app does.

If the computer is also connected to the Internet through Ethernet → modem → Internet, doesn't Windows use that connection instead of the smartphone + data plan when it's connected to the computer through USB tethering?
Click to expand...
Computers generally only use one internet connection at a time, e.g. if I plug my laptop into the wired network in my office it uses that instead of WiFi (which it is also connected to). So the question is, if you connect to both, which one will it use? And if you do have USB tethering running but the ethernet connection taking precedence, it will certainly switch to using the USB internet connection if the ethernet is interrupted.

In any case I agree with others: that screen is saying that some other device, presumably your PC, ran up your data usage via either USB tethering or WiFi hotspot.

Samsung Samsung Galaxy with 2 sims and SD Card?

Having read more, it seems to me that manufacturers are going down this route, for whatever reason i don't know.

Most consumer products are driven by the features that the actual consumer wants. The exceptions to that are cars, which are driven by government regulations and the cellphone industry which seems to be driven by the manufacturers. It's them that determine what features are there. Gone are the days of replaceable batteries, expandable memory and wired headphones.
