Have the following issues with Samsung galaxy A51.

Hello,

I have the following issues with Samsung galaxy A51 phone, the phone is running android 13 and the software is up to date, have reset the phone but this did not fix the issues.
Find that sometimes when using the phone in a app the phone freezes with out any warning to fix the issue I press the power button on the side of the phone to bring the the screen saver on sign back in and the issue is gone.
Have had the SIM card replaced but sometimes find that when I select a phone number to ring there is no dial tone to start with then it comes on.
When I sign into my phone any app will be open without any warning is there way to stop this from happening, so when I log in there is no app open.
In Google play store check for updates and it says no updates but check again and the play store shows updates for apps, is there way to fix this?.
Sometimes when I tap the pin I use to sign into my phone find that the phone does not respond to the touch on the screen so some of the pin does not get entered.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Help Unlocked ATT Samsung S20 Won't Update in Canada

Hi, I bought an unlocked ATT Samsung S20 last summer. I'm in Canada and the phone has been working with no problem. I have not received the One UI 5 update nor the Android 13 update. I checked with Samsung Canada and they referred me to Samsung US, they said that I should be patient and wait. After checking online I'm getting the feeling that the phone has to be on the ATT network. Does this make any sense? Does anyone know if this is the case?

Frustration after system update

Can anyone comment usefully on something that I discovered yesterday (26 Feb 2023). My phone is an Android — a Motorola moto g22. On 25/2/2023, I allowed a system update (update number: STAS32.79-77-28-18-2) and everything seemed fine. However, the day after the update, I clicked on DuckDuck Go, which I had downloaded and installed myself, months ago, and had trouble-free use of.

Since the update, when I click on the icon for DuckDuck Go (a search engine), instead of it opening, what opens is something called OneDrive (I believe this is a Google storage site). Oddly, when, months ago, I had dragged an icon for "Drive" (that name exactly) on my desktop, it showed as an an icon that was different from the triangular icon for Drive that shows in my Apps folder. It had its own icon (different, as stated), plus a small inset of the icon for DuckDuck Go, attached to it and seemingly a part of the OneDrive icon! Furthermore, its name was not "Drive" any more, but "OneDrive". (The original app, in my Apps folder, still shows as a triangle, with the name Drive (only).

I am sure that Google/Android does not take kindly to users having DuckDuck Go installed, because they want to track what you do on-line, whereas DuckDuck does not allow tracking. Previous system updates have not prevented DuckDuck Go from opening.

Can anyone tell me how to get DuckDuck Go to open as it used to do before this update?
With thanks in advance,
S.

How important are Android and App Security Updates?

I'd be very warry of a computer (including tablets/smartphones) that's connected to the Internet, yet no longer receiving security updates! Yet multiple people on forums have told me that Android systems without OS security updates can be used safely, so long as you otherwise have good security practices. So I'm starting this thread, a thread where we can discuss the question: How important are security updates for Android OS, and the apps that run on it?

Show me what I listen

Hi all,
I am using the wiim android app that connects to my wiim streamer. The streamer connects to amazon music and feeds my integrated amp.
So far all good.
What is also nice with my wiim app is that the currently playing song is synchronized with all android apps that run the application. This is a feature that I can use to some extent to display in a dedicated tablet what I am playing

These are the features that I am lacking though
1. Turn on the display on when I start streaming music
2. Keep display always on and turn it off when I stop streaming.

I am willing to use a different android app and or buy a different streamer that uses a different app.
I am open to suggestions and alternatives.
Regards,
Alex

Phone Snobbery?

This thread was inspired by the following comment:

mainly its because of the people who have apple products are so much more snooty. take my friends who have apple products. they always made fun of my android devices in the past. but now that Samsung has caught up to the innovations apple was making, i can now brag to them saying can your phone do this? can your phone fold and unfold like mine?
Just how common is that kind of phone snobbery? Do you run into people who think less of you, make fun of you, or something, over your phone?

Remote work or on-site?

I just read this article and thought I'd share it.
I'm hearing there's alot of remote workers complaining about returning to the office.
Since Covid-19 hit, employees still think they have the upper hand with the employer as to where they are working.
Newsflash! Your employer can dictate to you where you are going to be working from! If you're not happy with that, find a different job!
Lol! Wake up and drive to your job and be thankful you still have one!
Sorry but that's my rant....

Free Old School Game on Android!

Call it an Easter egg or whatever, but there's a cute little game called Chrome Dino and you can play it right from your home screen!

Find an empty 2x2 space on your home screen and long press. Select "Widgets" from the menu. In the Chrome options, select "Chrome Dino". The widget will load. The game is a huge retro throwback to the stuff I played growing up. Have fun!

:)
