Help Problem with naming mp3s put on phone.

Had this with my Galaxy S10 and now my Galaxy S20 so it's not model specific.

I'll name an mp3, stick it on my phone, be it internal memory or SD card it really doesn't matter & when I try to access via "Samsung Music" I can't find the file. Why? Because some times it's in there under a totally different name.

To be clear - some times it goes on there fine & is named what it shows up as in File Explorer on Windows. Often though, files don't & show up as something else.

So when I edit the files (in Windows) using Mp3tag - I can see parts of the file with the name that is being displayed when loaded to my phone.

So I edit this - but it doesn't work.

The only way I've found to do it so far is

* select the file in Samsung Music
* click the 3 dots
* Click track details
* click the pen/edit symbol in the upper right
* Click allow when it asks to allow Samsung Music to modify the audio file
* Then edit as you see fit.

This is the only way I've got it to display the track name as I want to on my phone. Which is pretty annoying & long winded.

Why can't I just do it on my PC? And if I can, how?

New Z Fold 3 and Google issue

So, I got tired of my Note 8 getting really slow, so I went out and got a Z Fold 3 on Monday. Mostly all is going well. I noticed one issue I can't solve. On my Note 8, when logged into my Google account and on the Google search page, I get some current events type stuff below the search box. Is it correctly called "feed"?

On the new Z Fold 3, I don't get that. I basically get a page with the Google banner and the search box below, but the rest of the page below is blank. How do I get that content to show up on my new Z Fold 3? Oh, and I am also logged into my account while on the Z Fold 3.

Thanks,

Danny

Rearrange order of watch faces

Ok, I'll admit before I get started, this is nitpicking. I had to reset the network settings on my phone. Little did I know that it resets my watch 4 classic (factory reset). Before I changed my network on my phone the faces on my watch were ordered left to right. What I mean is, if I long press on the face and get presented with the list of faces to choose from, the newest installed face is all the way to the right. Oldest left, newest right. I got used to this. Now, after the reset as I'm setting up my watch again, it's the reverse - oldest on the right and newest on the left. Seems counterintuitive to me, especially since I was used to the old way. How do I order my faces? I've gone through the menu and don't see anything (maybe I'm overlooking something).

Issue with color scheme since Android 13

I'm wondering if anyone else has found the same problem. It, sort of, relates to my previous post.
I'm talking about the settings under Wallpaper & Style. There is a choice to use Wallpaper Colors or Basic Colors. I use Wallpaper Colors and use the 11th scheme.

Unfortunately, every time I restart my phone, the color scheme reverts back to the third scheme.

You can see the difference.
I don't know why or how to keep it from happening. It's annoying because I restart my phone ever morning.
Thanks for your help.

Alerts Linger too long

When I am Typing a document, for instance, and alert pops up that tells me the document is too long to to scan for errors and that alert stays and obscures keyboard Or when I am typing a long text message and alert will pop up and obscure the keyboard and say "this will be sent as a multimedia message" or something and it obscures the keyboard. How do I shorten the display time of the alert because it obscures either the keyboard or what I'm working on.

Help Email formatting menu has disappeared!

Hi, sorry to pester you with a simple question!

Somehow I have lost the formatting ribbon in both the Gmail and Samsung Email apps. I have always had the option of changing font size, font colour, bullet points, indent etc and somehow I have got rid of it in both email apps. I can see no option to turn it back on under settings, it's driving me

Thank you very much for any suggestions anyone can offer,

Roger

Using TensorFlow Lite in Xamarin.Android

I am attempting to use the Custom Vision feature of Microsoft Azure by exporting the data for TensorFlow Lite. I am able to use Custom Vision & export the labels.txt & model.tflite files successfully with no problem, my problem is figuring out how to write the app & use TensorFlow Lite in Xamarin.Android (NOT Xamarin.Forms) & C# (NOT Java). I found the following page:

Image Classification with TensorFlow Lite & Azure Services - Xamarin Blog (microsoft.com)

However, this page seems to use Xamarin.Forms, and I am obviously missing some of the steps when attempting to convert it to Xamarin.Android. I have added the following additional NuGet packages (if there are others please let me know):

Microsoft.Azure.CognitiveServices.Vision.CustomVision.Prediction
Microsoft.Azure.CognitiveServices.Vision.CustomVision.Training
Xamarin.TensorFlow.Lite

I have written many Xamarin.Android apps before, so I am familiar with most stuff usually involved in a Xamarin.Android app using C#. Can anybody help me or suggest a site with a complete example or tutorial (including required NuGet packages required for TensorFlow Lite)? (NOTE: I am using Visual Studio 2022, NOT Android Studio) Thanks!

Help Sending Text Message from commandline/url

I need a way to make my phone send a text message from a script on my computer. I'd like to use an HTTP POST or GET from my pc with the recipient number and the message, and that cause my phone to send the text.

I plan to generate links in a spreadsheet of people I need to talk to, and if they want more information I plan to click the appropriate link for what they asked for and it send it to them in a text.

What's the right app for that?

Weird File Copying Anomaly

This is not a problem that needs a solution; it is just a weird anomaly that I encountered today and never before after several years of using the same program.

I have used a program that allows me to enter data on my computer and synchronize that data to my phone as well as copy files between the phone and computer. All has worked as expected for years but something has changed.

I connect to the phone to the computer so all files on the phone are viewable on the computer's display. I highlight/select all the files I want to copy from the phone then drag them to a folder on the computer. If I drag the files with the mouse pointer pointed to a file in the middle of the list, only that file and those above it are copied. The ones below the mouse pointer are not copied. So, in order to copy all the files, I must drag the list of selected files by the last file in the list.

This is an operation I have done for years at least once a month and sometimes several times a week and this has never happened before; however, it is a new anomaly that started inexplicably and is consistent and persistent.

Has anyone else ever encountered something similar to this?

Bluetooth in-car audio

Bluetooth-streamed audio to my car is quieter than the factory audio and the sound is less "bassy". If I listen to the factory audio, such as the FM radio, the sound quality is a bit better and a fair bit louder (for a given volume setting) than if I stream music (through Musicolet).

I have tried the developer options RE bluetooth audio but it made no difference. I don't think it is the car set up, but who knows!? For reference, the car is a Lexus LS460 and I'm streaming it to a GROM VLine unit, which is not factory fit, although I don't think it's that that is quiet, because other sounds (e.g. system sounds) appear loud.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks in advance.
