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

O
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

C
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.

K
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!

Unfortunately, (app name) has stopped!!

Hi guys

Looking for some guidance on a really annoying problem which has started in past days on my Note 4

Whenever I try to access my Messages, Native Samsung Email, or some other apps, I get to the main screen, and then it shuts down with the message as per the title of the post

On the email, I can open the app, see the messages, even delete some, but if it try to read one, the app crashes, same with the messaging

I am not running the phone with any SD cards, cleared local caches, managed to clear the boot cache (after successfully navigating the <No command> screen..

Just so frustrated with this and wonder if anyone has any guidance or advice?

Thanks in advance
David

Thanks a lot
