Bluetooth Low Energy

I think BLE is standard on most Android 5+ phones these days. It had better be there as the U.K's official National Health Service COVID-19 Track and Trace app uses BLE, 24/7. :D
I think it's a standard, yes. It's so important to me that I needed to confirm but yes. The track and trace app sounds like a merit.
I like the BLE communication. Though it's close range, it works flawlessly and in no way interferes with regular BT.

Speaking of BT. I read or saw that the S21 can BT to two different devices simultaneously. The only example I saw was to the Sammy wireless buds. Where as my traditional wireless Bose buds receive the BT stream to one bud and in turn that bud sends that stream to the other, with the Sammy buds, both buds receive the stream from the S21. It will be interesting to see if that will work with two different devices such as two sets of BT speakers.

Help Palm screen shot?

Anyone have the same problem with their hand?
Anyways I figured out the old screen shot, power button, it will head when held volume key down, it should say
"Access Samsung to your gallery of the screen shot." I did that for Rusty Lake: Harvey's box, just the domino solution puzzle...
I think that is the last screen shot I really need to complete my mental training of RL universe.

Help with reverting back to android 6

had an issue with my screen turning on and off every 5 seconds while the lock screen was on and for the life of me couldn't figure out what might have caused it. so i stupid did the samsung smart switch to back everything up and of course it updated the software to android 9, which i can't stand. when it was all said and done, somehow the bixby button was stuck and that is what was causing the screen to turn on and off.

is there any way to get my phone back in to the android 6 version that i loved so well?
clearly this is why i never update my stuff when i like the way things are. thanks!!!


Android 6 for the Galaxy Note 8 doesn't exist.
Samsung first released that phone with Android 7. Maybe possible to rollback to Android 7 with root and appropriate custom ROMs?

S21/Plus/Ultra spec comparison

It can be very confusing when there are 3 different models of phone being launched that all bear the Samsung Galaxy S21 name but offer different features and builds.

The following link to the GSMArena site takes you to a comparison of the 3 S21 models and highlights their differences to hopefully help making a choice of which is best for you, easier...

Super easy to swap in and out any phone you want. I just compared my s20+ to a s21+ and to a s21 ultra. Super helpful.
