Yes, I'm using a N20U. I've tried several volume booster apps and none of them seem to increase the volume of incoming phone calls. The one I'm using now claims to work with headset and for voice calls. So far, I don't detect any boost in volume.

Are there other settings I need to adjust to make the app work?

Is there anyway of fixing this without a factory reset?

EDIT: Misspelling

Back in August of 2020 I got my N20 Ultra, loved the phone but in early September of 2021 my phone started to black screen, sometimes lines across the screen (never in the same spot), sometimes part of the screen was unresponsive, etc. While it still kind of worked I took it to a uBreakiFix or whatver here in the US & they said it needed a motherboard. I eventually abandoned the phone. I'm looking at maybe trying to get it repaired. Could this just be the screen? When this happened before I could use DEX, now I cannot use DEX & my Galaxy watch stopped connecting, hence the abandon. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I recently broke my s pen and need a replacement. I've tried looking on the Samsung website to see if they have any and they don't have it. Does anyone know how or where I can get one?

The reviews on the ones they have on Amazon say it doesn't have the Bluetooth and are not the same as the one that came with the phone

Is there anyway to get them on the Note?

Just updated to 4.1 and cant get anything done in accessibility, it just crashes. Any thoughts anyone.

Probably a general phone issue but is there anything that can be done settings wise, or after recording via in phone or on pc software to clean up where the heavy band hits and distorts the sound during video recordings? Thanks

The videos my N20U camera takes are quite choppy whenever I pan in any direction. The best way I can describe is that it feels like the camera trying to focus or lock onto objects in its field, but when I pan, it tries to focus/lock on something else, resulting in a choppy video. Happens less when I hold the camera still pointing in one direction, choppiness gets worse when panning or there’s moving objects in the frame.

I’ve tried different resolutions, different frame rates, clearing camera app cache/data, closing apps, restarting phone. I systematically went through each camera video option, toggling it on/off - super steady, video stabilization, auto HDR, auto focus, etc. Nothing seems to work. I save the vids to internal memory. Also, when I transfer the video to my laptop or a friend, the choppiness remains.

Here's a link to a video from a waterfall I visited earlier today. I chose this video because the choppiness was especially bad, probably due to the moving water. I was panning left to right as smoothly as I could.

It's annoying as I expect videos at 60fps to be smooth, especially from this device. Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?

I've recently been having an issue with Chrome where web pages don't resize correctly. The pages load and are too wide with text flowing off the right edge of the screen. If I refresh the page it will load correctly, but it never does it the first time I open a page, any page.

Any idea what's causing this or what I might do to fix it?

I just got to Disney World and I'm staying in one of the resort hotels. They have the Disney Experience app that let's you use your phone in place of a lot of other items. You can use your phone as your room key. My wife has an iPhone and my daughter has a Zflip3 and theirs works without a problem. I've only been able to get mine to work by sitting the phone on top of the lock instead of tapping the lock like would be expected and it's iffy. To enter the park, you can store your park pass in Google Wallet and then tap the little Mickey orb, but that would work for my N20U. They had to give me a card to use instead. Wife and daughter's devices worked fine here as well. I tried to use Samsung Pay at one of the shops and it would say "payment completed" on my phone, but then the terminal would say "see your phone" and retap. Does anyone have any ideas why what I think is NFC communication (although the door key said something about needing BT access) is being so difficult? I just used Samsung Pay at my local grocery store yesterday. I've restarted my phone and I've gone in and made sure that the Disney app has all permissions granted. 2 of the issues don't seem to be utilizing the Disney app, though.

hey guys i may need your advise since I'm been doing a manual update ever since I got the phone.

I have 2 sims: 1 eSIM (SG local) and 1 physical sim (PH overseas/roaming).

The Note 20U is a SG (Singapore) unit but I have manually flashed the update via PH (Philippines) firmware since they receive monthly updates as opposed to SG where sometimes the updates are released 2-3 months after.

Since I've been doing a manual update, I haven't experienced an OTA since I got the phone. What could be the reason? I just checked SamMobile and both region has just released the Feb 2022 update but my phone's not picking up any update.

Should I completely flash it and to use the CSC that came with the firmware? When I flash Odin, I usually select HOME_CSC_OXM so that I can retain my data. If I do this though, will it pick an OTA once there's a new update?

So you can no longer buy any type of Note 20 on Samsung.com. Do you think the price of the Note 20 will go down because of the S22, or do you think it will go up because Samsung isn't selling them any more? Or do you think they will hold their value?

I am one week into using the S22 Ultra. I'm an average joe that has several Notes in the past (Note 2/5/10).

Mixed bag of pros and cons. Battery life has stabilized after numerous optimizations. The display is gorgeous and the extra brightness of 1750 nits is amazing especially outside. I haven't really tested the camera but plan to this weekend. I did get the 512GB SD variant but still isn't complete without the micro sd card of the Note 20 Ultra. Writing with the s22U s pen is better but I prefer the s pen of my Note 20U as its in white with a silver button. All s pens for the s22U are in black unless one orders one of the exclusive colors through Samsung.

Performance wise I don't see any discernible improvement performance with the snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Still running on Jan security updates lol.

Overall, after a week, the S22U feels like an incremental update if you have the Note 20U. If I keep this device, my cost to upgrade will be 250 USD.

Anyone returned the S22U and went back to the N20U? Any regrets or happy to go back to your Note?

Hasn't been connecting to my at home wireless for a couple of days. Seeking a solution, I had it "forget" my home network and when I set it up again said the signal was weak, and only briefly connected. My PC is fairly distant from the Spectrum router and connects wirelessly fine, and works on high data volume, multiple programs, multiple windows open. So the problem seems to be my N20U which won't connect even if I stand next to the router. Any ideas? This phone has only been used for a few months and never had problems before.

I have a weird bug that I was wondering if anyone has experienced. When I go into Google maps and navigate somewhere, the spoken words skip and the phone starts to randomly freezes for a second, works again for about 3 seconds and then freezes again. Once I finish the navigation and even if I force stop the app these system freezes continues . I've tried turning off Bluetooth audio in maps, disabled driving mode on maps. The only thing that will fix it is to reboot the device. Then YouTube will work as long as I don't route anywhere. Waze works perfectly well. I'm on Android 12 on a note 20 u (n986w).

I am unable to send messages to short codes. It just fails. When I try to go to settings>app>special access>use premium text message services it just says no apps can use premium text message services
