When I'm in another app like Gmail and long press something to get the context menu and then tap web search, it always opens up in the Google app. Is there a way to get that to open in Chrome instead?

Apparently dialling **67*[number]# forwards all calls if busy to [number]

I can’t get the code to work. I’m in the UK. I dialled **67*[number]#

where [number] is a FULL landline number including the area code, starting 012. Should I be using an international one? Start with 44? Omit the 0? When I do it as above I get “Call forwarding when busy for all basic services. connection problem or invalid MMI code.”

I'm now using OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and Google Word/Sheet (Web version) but they all have a problem, it takes quite a few seconds (on average 6-7 seconds) to open up and load a file, it's really painful and annoying, especially when I have to deal with a lot of different files every day.

I'm on high-speed stable broadband so I think it's not the problem of internet speed, my CPU is i5 as well, and 8GB RAM, which should be more than enough.

Is there any way to solve this problem? Or it just always takes time to open any word or excel files so there is no way to get the problem solved?

So when I go to Google Translate on Chrome app and translate from any language to any and press the speaker to hear how it's pronounced, this crackling sound comes out. How to fix that? Only happens in Chrome!

According to this article, NO:

And I understand the premise. Modern smartphones have a good bit of RAM with which to run the operating system, apps and actively work with data. Older phones, or low-budget models, may be more limited in their capacity - as a rule, though, phones are built with plenty of RAM to manage day-to-day tasks.

The idea behind closing apps we no longer need is to "free up RAM" as if that will make our phones run better, or faster. That's simply not true and, as the article implies, closing frequently used apps can actually slow it down.

RAM is the amount of temporary, operating memory your device has. Storage is where user data is saved long-term... much like a hard drive on a computer. If you have room to spare on a 256 GB hard drive, getting a 4 TB drive will only give you a lot of empty space that may never be used.

Likewise, if you only use about 4 GB RAM to do everything you need to do on your phone, getting a phone with 12 GB RAM will simply leave you with a lot of extra memory you don't need. Closing apps to free up even more memory becomes counterintuitive.

Old habits are hard to break: I'm one of those "old guard" Android users who remember the days of 256 MB RAM on the original Motorola Droid. Back then, judicious use of memory was a way of life. Now that modern smartphones have 8, 12 or more GB, this old dog needs to learn new tricks and stop closing out apps.

FYI if you use Samsung Pay, and go to the Galaxy Store to get updates and see Samsung Wallet there, do NOT uninstall it! I found out, seconds too late, that Samsung Pay is now Wallet... now I get to set up ALL my cards again!

How does separate app sound in sound assistant work? When u tap on the Bluetooth icon for one device it sometimes works as it should, and switches media from that app to BT speaker and leaves others to play on the phone. But now, most of the time it takes both app sounds to BT device or to device sound, it doesn't separate it.

How to remove shared file from Google Drive, there's no remove option ?

Google has no idea which device I'm using. I've removed all devices I don't use months ago and it still thinks I'm using one of those 2 previous ones and rarely the current one, what should I do?

My home screen used to have the icons right up against the edge of the screen, but a couple months ago, an update indented them over 1 inch from the edge.

Is there a way to put them back against the edge?

Also, I hate the way the folders open up now. The window is smaller with fewer icons, and I have to scroll over to see more. Is there a way to fix this as well?

Hello,

I was using Samsung Galaxy A52 5G and I still have an issue with bad audio quality on my new S22 Ultra. All games have this issue. Not only games sound awful but also the video being edited when being played whole in the video editor.



Whole S21 family also suffers from this issues. Nobody has fixed it since S21 launch!

Here's the original poster of the issue with his S21 Ultra:https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s21-series/s21u-game-sound-quality/m-p/4839255#M39626



Here's mine from the A52 5G forum: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-a-series/shallow-bad-game-audio-quality/m-p/4664228#M2173...

My S10+ didn't have this issue but now since OneUi 4 it also has that issue, so it's about Samsung definitely..

I've posted it here since S22 line is the latest and it still has the issue on OneUi 4.1.

When I go to home screen from any app, this happens:

This is when I set all animations to 0.5 x, it'sore noticeable than 1x, but 1x still has that annoying animation, anyways I like to use 0.5 x.
I've performed 2 factory resets already.

Any tips?

I'm trying to backup all my apps to my new device. It started but then stopped. I can't find a way anywhere in my settings or google account (playstore) to finish/restart the process. In my settings it just says 'waiting to back up'. Any help please? I've never had a problem with other devices.

I have a broken phone that is a Samsung nexus 4 I found it and it is running a root called Maco does anyone know anything about this or?

Can someone help me please, who's familiar with Samsung themes?? I have done everything I have read online, to fix my Samsung themes which is not working. It went from at least applying to my phone and messages app, to not applying anywhere on my phone at all! I have tried everything. Does anyone know about this and have any suggestions on how to fix this? Extremely frustrating!! Any help would be much appreciated thanks!
