Fearing the worst: What do I backup in 'master reset' circs?

Thanks for the kind advice ocnbrz, and Hadron (Smoke me a kipper)...I could not agree more with your characterization of "the cloud." Interesting that SMS Backup and Restore is not cloud-based.

I applied the fix I saw at the end of the latest update of the Endgadget piece, so we shall see.

One thing I saw when I was updating Android System WebView that cracked me up was this:

"Join the beta: Try new features before they're officially released and give your feedback to the developer"

I think I am part of the beta already, right? Tried the new features, and I doubt they want my feedback.

Help about to buy s20 ULTRA AGAIN and must know if auto focus is still dead

Did they ever update the camera software to fix the focus issue on the S20 Ultra or is the Note 20 Ultra the better phone to get for cameras?

Check the comparisons between S21 and S20 Ultra. I've seen this before where manufacturers focus on specs to market, taking one step forward on camera specs and 2 steps back on image processing.

Samsung Internet from Chrome

really????

i never liked samsung internet. i think other browsers are way better. try firefox, you can import bookmarks....not sure about autofills though.

Thanks for the reply. Chrome has been draining battery like crazy....it did the same a few months ago and then suddenly went down. Now, it's back up again. I like using Samsung Internet, uses far less battery, but not having bookmarks and (not so much) no auto fill-in could be a deal breaker. I use Chrome elsewhere, and I haven't used Firefox in years.

Help newly downloaded apps do not have an icon.

I've had this happen once and it sorted itself out eventually. App apparently installed ok, but like the OP there was no icon. Went back into Google Play and uninstalled. Reinstalled with the same issue. Went though that loop a few times and eventually gave up without uninstalling. A couple of days later the icon appeared. I only realised it had because one of the apps I use most had moved on the screen!
