Call Quality Horrible

Probably not the answer you want to hear, but it appears that you have answered your own question...

'If I connect a different pair of headphones, like my Bose QC35 the call is normal. And if I connect the Enco Free to another phone, like my moms iPhone, they also work fine.'

Sorry.

Anyway, I assume that you have tried unpairing and then starting all over with the headphones?

S21/+/Ultra hands-on reviews

This Amazon Buyer review "So much promise and anticipation only to be let down, not without advancements at a cost" has an interesting perspective:

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Elec...998UZKEXAA/dp/B08P54F6HB?th=1#customerReviews

IMHO, only reason to upgrade from S20+/Ultra or Note 20 Ultra to S21 Ultra is for the 10x telephoto (if you feel you could really use it.) The glass, display and battery life improvements are relatively minor on the S21 Ultra over those previous three models. And you end up losing SD card slot and getting a bulkier and heavier phone (for some that's good as "big is better more flashier" - for the rest of us, not.)

If you read the reviews for the S21 Ultra on the Amazon listing page, the first most popular review really says a lot. Notice he doesn't go into camera details. As the bottom line is, unless you absolutely are starving for a 10X optical zoom, the S21 Ultra is a waste of money coming from the S20 Plus/Ultra. You'd be better off getting a Note 20 Ultra that has 5X optical zoom, SD card slot and big 6.9" screen rather than getting the S21 Ultra.

Some excerpts from the Amazon Review:

"I found myself missing the S20 Plus, and more the S10 Plus, even with the new upgrades. I've lost enthusiasm and confidence in Samsung. The S21 Ultra's weight and size is not for me, I found myself with hand fatigue and not really enjoying using the S21 Ultra. The Note 20 Plus is actually the better phone than the S21 Ultra if you want productivity and comfort."

"If you still own the S10 Plus, keep it, if you own the S20 Plus, keep it. The S21 Ultra, in my humble opinion is Samsung reducing itself to become the villain. It's harsh and it's my opinion."
Interesting review of the Snapdragon U.S.A. country variant, 2 days after release and on the early shipping firmware.

Notifications not going away on Snapchat

Well, to be honest, when I have an app that is a pest, I turn notifications off period.

Aren't you on the app often enough to get any 'missed' notifications in a timely manner?

Is there a site that you can visit with your browser, instead of using the app?

You are much better off just using your browser to access social media sites.

First, no notifications unless you are in the app.
These apps all have a notification area to get your missed messages- so there is no point in the annoying little marker on your screen.

Second, your browser can be (and probably is) more secure than the app. Apps are provided by social media sites in order to mine your device for information.

Lightning is the original, the others have different options available.

In fact, you can put all of your social media sites onto these browsers as bookmarks.

If you allow cookies, and don't clear them, then you will stay logged in.

If you eliminate all of your social media apps, and use a browser to access them instead, you can save a huge amount of space on your device and increase your security.

And no more notifications from an app that you probably visit the site multiple times a day anyway.

Help How to delete photo attachments on Gmail

Hi Bro,

In order to delete attachments you have to delete the emails that have attachments. In order to do that, click on the drop down menu on the search bar in Gmail. You would find different options From, To, Subjects to name a few. At the bottom, you would find has attachment option. Just tick on that, and it will show the list of all the emails that have attachments. Now simply select all the emails at once by ticking the box located at the left corner near the inbox and it will delete all the email that have attachments. You can check this blog for more help: https://unboxstop.com/how-to-delete-attachments-from-gmail/

Help Display corruption when video is playing

Yeah, I would try a different browser with the same websites, and see if the problem disappears.

I am not a fan of chrome.

Anyway, if you hve an Androud, you have Android System Webview built right in.
This is good, because all you need is a 'wrapper' app to give you an interface to that, and then you have the fastest browser available for that device.

Luckily, there are a few out there.
There is one in particular that many imitate- Lightning.

I have my favorite, IDM+, and it is an advanced version of the original.

Following are links to the original, and a couple others that have different features (but are based on Lightning).

There are other browser wrapper apps for Android System Webview, but Lightning and its children are fast, secure, and extremely easy to use.
I have been using them for years.
Let me know of any questions or issues.

how to prevent & fix videos that play upside down

Detecting it first may be an issue.
This is because (like me) you watch it on the device it was recorded on first, right?

lol

My camera app does the same thing.
Sometimes.
It's not even consistant.

Anyway, a nice video editing app will make fixing it a snap, and can give you even more cool options that you may enjoy.

Personally, I like YouCut.

There is no watermark in the finished product, and quality loss is low.

There are ads, but they do not interfere with the task onhand, and they do not appear at any other time except for just before it makes your video.

Turn off all internet access (I just use a firewall to block that app's access) and you will have an ad free experience.

In your particular case, the 'flip' feature will turn your video over.

This editor will also allow you to put multiple videos together, even adding pictures and/or your own soundtrack, and other options.

S21 5G Order Delayed

Purchased from Samsung 2/12/2021 and given a delivery date of 2/16/2021. It’s the gray, 256GB version. Yesterday, 2/13, I received an email saying my order has been delayed. No other info. Anyone know what’s causing this? I guess it could be weather in US (winter storms everywhere) and/or COVID, but would like to know.
