i also heard about the teardrop hinge. i really hope this is true. but tbh i rarely notice the crease.

Oh, I do! Especially if I turn the phone to landscape to watch a video or view photos, even the Fold 4 has a glaring horizontal line in the center of the screen. The crease isn't nearly as awful as previous Fold versions... but a teardrop hinge that gently curves the UTG without folding it & creasing it would be awesome.

As much as I'd love to see the S Pen back on the RIGHT edge of the phone, I've come to terms with the fact that Samsung values the camera module a lot more than it does convenient S Pen placement. Even if Samsung could park the S Pen silo on the right side of the fold, next to the hinge to the left of the USB-C port, I'd be happy. Adding a digitizer layer to the front panel wouldn't take up THAT much room... and new processors are so power-efficient that Samsung can afford to use slightly smaller batteries. How many of us really use our phone for more than 24 hours without charging it?

More releases for the U.S.A. unlocked devices, F936U1, on the following CSC codes...

• CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
• CHA = Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
• VZW = Verizon
• XAA = USA unbranded
• XAR = Cellular South

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me. With google activity is the information provided correct? Anything to do with android is it correct times, dates and info? Can you tell what a person is doing on their phone while looking at the activity? Parent situation and I really need some help. Thanks.

why not just get a parental control app. these two are what my friends use for their kids:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.findmykids.app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.kids.familylink&hl=en_US&gl=US

the find my kids have parental control over apps and you can use this to see their activities and the apps being used on their device.

and i am not sure i understand your question.why would google activities not have the correct information about the phone? those activities can't be altered. so yes time date and info should be correct.

as far as google activity.....

When you use Google sites, apps, and services, some of your activity is saved in your Google Account. You can find and delete this activity in My Activity, and you can stop saving most activity at any time.

Hi svim/Danny,
Yes, I like the Open camera app. It definitely improves the image.
Are there any particular settings you found useful OR ones you thought should be left off.
Thanks again,
...... john

Well folks, I had a s9+ and it broke. The face and back came loose. I went to Samsung and ordered a S22 with the S9 as a trade. What a mistake. I got next to nothing for the trade and paid a fortune for the S22 which didn't have the features of the S9+. I ended up purchasing a used S9+ on eBay for way less than the S22 and sold the S22 for about 1/2 of what I paid for it. I'm now happy back with my S9+ and getting some of the money back for the S22.

FYI the S22 was about $600 with the trade in and I sold it for $282 so I got about 1/2 of the cost back. The used S9+ was $170 including tax and shipping.

Samsung is going to have to do a lot better with any new releases (S23?) to get me to move aways from the S9+.

Does https://developers.google.com/android/ota count as being among "all the standard fixes"? I haven't yet been notified of a Jan 2023 OTA update for my Pixel 6, but it's available for manual installation according to the instructions provided on the page.

Thanks for what?

Danny

I have this on a Moto G6...

yep just looked on my z fold 4, no way to prioritize notifications on the lockscreen. the only thing i can see that you can do is limit what app notifications are shown overall on the phone.

It was an uninformed decision of panic.

i thought it would delay rooting (long story, which i will not go into here)
Thanks for all the replys

This (Post) to me is now irrelevant. Hope others will get some use from it.

well i always say that you should never update if you plan on rooting a phone. most of the security patches that comes with the update can close loopholes that are used in rooting.

Looking at its Play Store page, the FoxFi app has not been updated since Dec. 2017, apparently it's been abandoned so it's not surprising it is becoming gradually less and less able to function. The cellular networks our carriers are based on do progress at a snail's pace, but continuously.

Which carrier do you use? A lot of carriers now include hotspotting as a free service (with prerequisites). Any chance you switching carriers is doable?
Just as examples:
T-Mobile
https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/mobile-internet-plans-for-hotspots
AT&T
https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/KM1009376/
Verizon
https://www.verizon.com/support/mobile-hotspot-faqs/
Also, your Galaxy S6 is eight years old, archaic as far as smartphones. It's old and out-of-date.
https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s6-6849.php
That could also be a factor when it involves online interactivity.

I have Verizon I replaced the battery Sunday morning done a factory data reset afterwards foxfi stopped working right after it was working just fine before. So I'm guessing Verizon finally figured out a way to shut the app down after all these years I've used it almost 10 years without much issues. So I'm going to have to finally get home internet/wifi and probably go with straight talk instead I'm paying almost $100 a month with Verizon just for my phone service.

I would definitely try a factory reset

Thanks.

So Thursday, day I originally posted, I simply turned phone off for a few minutes and restarted it. No problems so far....

Sorry for double posting, I created a second account because I couldn't remember my password, or my email address (hehe) but now I'm back. Anyway, here is an update to my first post above: I realized that the annoying charging notification was not due to the charging itself, but due to the "Optimized battery charging" -setting. Apparently, that notification has its own rules, and I cannot find a way to silence it. Does anybody know?
In the meantime, I have disabled optimized battery charging. I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on the charging status.

The latest version of Android Studio is 2022.1.1.

@ranjb not sure what happened. can you explain what is going on? your post seems to be incomplete.

I would like to know also.

This is one that I use which is great but only supports smb1 and my NAS whilst it can support smb1 makes it more riskier from a security side.

So most likely the contacts app was updated and now shows those boxes you are seeing.
You can always install a different contacts app that doesn't show that, but I doubt you can change the contacts app you already have

I think you are correct. I used delete all updates for the Contacts app and the unwanted boxes have gone.

Hello!! Just to let you know that unfortunatelly choosing to keep mobile data always active didn't solve the problem. It works only for wi-fi / 4g, but not in my case. When i connect the camera via rj45/otg adapter it kills mobile data (4g ) instantly..too bad, i can't use the correct camera with my app because i really need internet ...

Settings - Notifications - App notifications,
Tap the toggle next to that app to turn this feature off.

As the title states, i am in search of a method to disable receiving SMS messages. I want to be able to turn it back on when the need arises too.

Basically, i want calls and such to work, and all the functions of the phone to work, i just want to disable the ability to receive SMS messages temporarily.

Click to expand...

Check if you are able to disable the Message app from Settings.

When using android auto I have to have show previews on but how do I have it not show full text messages on normal texting pop up notifications
