Help Hard press home button doesn't work

Is anyone here anymore...?

I just got a new S9 plus. I've been trying out all the features, but one doesn't seem to work: hard press home button. I want to be able to unlock the phone with the home button. I have "Hard press Home button" and "Unlock with Home button" turned on. But no matter how hard I press on the home button on the Always On Display, nothing happens.

I went into the Hard press Home button setting and tried the pressure test. But even there it doesn't seem to work. I set it to the lightest setting and turn the test on. Then I press the button image at the bottom of the screen, but again, nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?

The Home button works fine when the phone is active. Just not on the AOD.

Thanks.

(SOLVED) wifi not using connection to router unless I airplane

(marked solved) see bottom post

wifi not using connection to router unless I turn on airplane mode in phone.

LG Stylo 4 Plus, stock ROM, no mods.
router is SBR-AC1750, connected to comcast @ 200Mb
in router, set up wifi connection over 2.4Ghz called xxx
In phone connect to xxx.
Ookla speed test app says maybe 5Mbps
Turn on airplane mode,
re-turn on wifi connection to xxx.
Ookla says 37-40Mbps.

What am I doing wrong.
It is as if it is using/trying to use OTA, - even though the SIM is removed for this test!!!

Froot Loops for Boot Loops, Moto Edition

I have been having trouble charging the Moto G Stylus. Different cords and wall warts and outlets have not really helped. This morning I finally got it to come on, but it got stuck in a very short bootloop showing the logo. Now it is doing the same thing but with a black screen and an open android. Maybe I can post a bad picture taken with that lousy icon phone. The word below the two arrows is start, but it does not work.

Help Camara App problems

I have found the built in camera app is a bit unpredictable. The only way to reliably stop the Motion Photos feature is to switch on flash. It is not possible to disable it with the Motion Photos controls. Selecting a frame from the resulting video clip is tiresome and lower resolution than a still photo. Google support suggested force stopping the app and this worked for a bit.
On one occasion the app hung mid shot leaving the flash LED on.
Camera takes very well exposed shots and the Night Sight is excellent.
Running Android 11
Anybody else having these problems?

Strange error on LAN connection to Windows 10

So I was using X-plore to browse files on my pc on a Shield TV. I can browse the files, but if I open say, 10-15 files back to back, the connection stops working and it asks for user and password, even though it's saved,
The files are NOT opened at the same time.

After about 10 mins, it starts working again, and does it again. I have this issue with every file explorer that can do LAN or SMB connection, EXCEPT for CX file explorer, but it's not very android tv friendly.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Looking for a web browser with a specific feature

I'm using the Google Chrome browser, and looking at a web site whose type is too small to read. I can do the two finger reverse pinch and expand the page, but now the lines are longer than the screen and you have to constantly scroll to read the text.

The first Android phone I had, years ago, had a browser that worked differently. When you did the reverse pinch on text, the text got larger and reflowed to fit the screen. Much nicer and easier to read.

Is there currently a web browser for Android that work that way?

Thanks
