In the Gmail mobile app, how does one hide Recent Labels, Starred, Important, Snoozed and Scheduled?

I'm sorry, I should have explained in my original post that I had long ago tweaked the label visibility in the desktop version. The settings did not carry over.

Ahh, sorry about that. Yea, even though there is a 'manage labels' option ion app, all it lets you do is sync them or not. Seems to stupid to not be able to hide them! You can leave feedback in the gmail app and let them know you want that ability. If enough people leave feedback in app Google will make changes. It really is the best way to influence them (if it's possible).

How To How to Clear Cache

To clear the cache on your Galaxy S20 Ultra for a specific app:
  1. Open Settings
  2. Tap Apps
  3. Select "All" from upper left
  4. Select the app on which you'd like to Clear Cache
  5. Tap "Storage"
  6. Tap "Clear Cache" at the bottom right of the screen
Some apps may have this greyed out which means you cannot clear the cache. You'll also see an option (at the bottom left) for "Clear data- be careful with this option as it will delete all of the application's data permanently. This includes all files, settings, accounts, databases, etc...)

If you cannot find the app in your Apps list tap the 3 dots on the top right of the Apps List and select "Show system apps".

Compass in the Samsung S20 Ultra not working

SO! Another quick update. *knock on wood* I think I found the culprit...

Short of finding an app that tracks the activity of all Android apps and processes, I decided to start disabling things one by one. Checking after each "Force Stop" to see if the compass started working.

It is looking like it may have been caused by a live background app called "BETTA" (a cool animated Beta Fish for your Home Page). Turning off the live background immediately allowed the sensor to start working again. It has been working steadily since yesterday!

Not a CLUE as to why the live background would interfere with the compass. Probably the darn ads in the background. I am testing the same app on my Galaxy S8, but it doesn't seem to affect this phone. Something about the S20 and this app appears to interfere.

I don;t think its the live wallpaper function itself either. As I have another one loaded to test functionality, and all is working fine. Seems to be this app called "BETTA" specifically.

Hope it keeps working!! I will update accordingly with what I find if anything changes.
Many thanks to the input from everyone!
Cheers
-Chris

Minor correction (just for tracking)
App is called "Betta Fish Live Wallpaper FREE" and it is made by a group called "Maxelus".

So glad you tracked down teh culprit!
I have reviewed the app with my findings. And additionally have emailed the company. Hoping that it gets resolved, as its a very cool app!

So glad you tracked down the culprit! Weird a wallpaper app does that, maybe some conflict or just bad code touching the gyro or location. Usually (good) developers will be super fast to help. With a little luck they will get a bug report or something from you and update the app. I'm sure they would want the S20 line as a userbase! You did them a favor!

COVID-19 Coronavirus Tracker for Android

I tried checking that App Forum out but for some reason it's broken (only the thread works):
https://androidforums.com/apps/theo-dõi-corona.17466/

I have a feeling it's due to the non-English characters in the app title.
yeah does not work for me either. there is a direct link to the xda page where you can download the apk, if you want to try it that way.

Unauthorized access

On any phone I've owned the answer is no: when you leave the in call user interface, either by ending the call or by trying to switch to another app, you are presented with the lock screen.

BUT I can't guarantee that your phone behaves correctly. I'd have thought that the simplest way to be sure is just to test it empirically: call your phone, answer without unlocking, and then see for yourself.

Lost ability to edit in Gallery

long press on the gallery icon and tap on the "i" icon. this should take you to the settings of the app. take a screenshot of what your permissions are set to.
Thanks for your time to reply.

I have been in gallery settings any which way I could, but nowhere I can find any settings involving editing. Interestingly, I decided to try editing a photo in my tablet (tab s4, still on pie) and as soon as I clicked the pencil icon, it asked me to allow photo editor. Yet, photo editor is nowhere to be found in the system, so I must assume that it is integrated deeply in gallery app. Another interesting thing is that I have no problem editing video. I would even try to reinstall gallery if I knew where to find it.

Kind regards,

The answer to enable photo editor was given to me on the community.samsung forum just now. I f anyone suffer with the same issue, the answer is the following:
Open Settings
Click Apps
From the 3 dot menu select "Show system apps"
Search for Photo Editor
After clicking on the Photo Editor entry, click on Permissions.
Ensure that "Storage" is allowed.

Best regards,

Apps Why don't notifications show up when I run the app?

I'm a beginner programmer and I've been working on an app that shows events and notifies the user when a new event is up.I'm trying to create a settings activity with 2 switch buttons, 1 for notifications on status bar and 1 for notification sound. When I turn on the switches, I don't get any notification nor sound.

How can I fix that?

Random vibrations during phone call

Started about 3 weeks ago...I can't recall it starting after an update but can't be completely sure
try and clear cache for the phone app. if that does not work, try and put your phone in safe mode. this will prevent any third party apps from running. it will allow you to find out if another app is causing the issue. of it is still happening then the last resort would be to do a factory reset. if that does not work then you might have to go to your carrier to see if they can help resolve the issue.

Which mobile I must buy

It is normal use YouTube intstgram Twitter I want mobile good not after 6 month or 1 year have problem in charging not charge or slow or stop work.
Honestly pretty much any phone will handle this usage.

Just don't buy cheap junk or a phone that is so old that a "new" phone means it's sat in a warehouse for two years (because that's bad for the battery).

How To How To Take A Screenshot

  1. Press the Side Button and Volume Down Button simultaneously
  2. Select from the pop up option for advanced features:
    • Tap the circular "Image Avatar" to open the screenshot immediately

  • Enable in Settings > Advanced features > Motion and gestures > Palm swipe to capture
  • Navigate to the screen you want to capture
  • With the edge of your palm (like a karate chop) swipe from the left edge of your screen to the right edge of your screen (like a windshield wiper). Yes, you should be touching the screen.
Less popular methods of taking a screenshot:
There are a few less popular ways to take a screenshot on the S20 Ultra, but they exist nonetheless:
  • Launch Bixby and say "Take a screenshot"
  • Launch Google Assistant and say "Okay Google, Take a Screenshot"
  • Enable "Edge Panels" in "Settings > Display > Edge screen > Edge panels" and select "Smart Select" from your Edge Panel.
