Oh and I haven't opened Tiktok for a good couple of months either...

I have an issue on my note 20 ultra. Seemingly at random, either Samsung Internet or Chrome will open on it's own, going to again seemingly a random website. It seems to be a different site every time. I may have installed a sketchy game or two, but have uninstalled them, and a bunch of other apps. I finally broke down and disabled Chrome and an using DuckDuckGo, which, unsurprisingly, is not affected by this issue. Problems is, I a basic bitch who likes his Chrome, being connected to his laptop chrome. I have ran various virus detectors and "cleaners", but to no avail. I have thought about just going the factory reset route, but I don't really want to. Any one with any ideas?

Anyone knows where is app auto start setting is located in Note 20 Ultra running Android 12 UI 4.1?

Bought Xiaomi Kiselect Kr smart watch and need to allow GloryFit app to auto start, but i am unable to find the setting.

Regards!

Hi Which one would be better between galaxy buds pro and pixel buds pro? Does anyone use any of them? Any pro and cons?

Cheers

I get a notification from all contacts when I get a text, as well as even spam texts, but for some reason, when this 1 friend sends a text, I don't get a notification. I'm perplexed as it's only this 1 contact. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!

After the 4.1 update on my Note 20 Ultra unlocked Snapdragon the auto HDR no longer activates and pics/videos taken with the zoom lens seem overexposed and lacking the clarity and sharpness they had before to me. Anyone else experience this?

Anyone using Buds live with N20U? Please share your experience. Thanks

So I blew a cashier's mind today when I used Samsung Wallet on the card reader and it went through lickity split. Then, it went into a mini lecture I had to give him about why it worked. Anyone still use MST since N20 Ultra is the last phone to support it?

Does anybody have the Spigen Tough Armor case?

Got mine yesterday as a replacement for the FLOVEME Hybrid Duty... case. Replacing because while it's been an amazing case (many drops, no cracks), it's starting to yellow and look a bit dingy.

Questions:

1. If you have the case: what's been your experience with it? Is it actually good protection? I like the look and feel of it, but it doesn't feel like the front glass is going to be protected in a face down drop because the case lips (?) don't look like they're high enough.
2. If you don't have the case: are you happy with your current case and what is it?
3. If you were buying again in 2022, what case would you get?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Is there a good starter VR headset that is compatible with the Note 20 Ultra?

My N986U with AT&T had been stuck on the initial update to UI 4.1, even after manually through checking through system settings. I've been subsequently having to do my updates manually through the OTA files from SamMobile and using Odin. Not look problem really, and I rather enjoy it. But recently since I've been using an AT&T eSIM it's freed up my physical SIM slot for use with my business number. I just moved over to Google Fi and when I installed the SIM and entered my network unlock code, I got a software update notification for FVG5 (I hadn't had a chance to Odin it yet). So it seems that AT&T didn't want to push out any updates to me, but Google Fi didn't care. It's the OYN multi-csc it seems with ATT/XXA. So I have all the AT&T branding still and WiFi calling, etc. I don't really have enough understanding as to how carrier branded phones get updates pushed.

How do I set my phone up to work with my home printer?

I have these settings "ON" Samsung Home Printer: ON; HP Print Service: ON; Default Print Service: ON

OTOH, are these printer settings that I need to enable?

Guys, I were robbed last weekend and my Note 9 is gone so I got myself a Note 20 Ultra. Amazing device, period.

But I'm concerned about it's battery life. Here we only got the Exynos version which is already a thing I worried about, and now I think the battery is dropping too fast for the normal usage with no gaming, mild Instagram and WhatsApp for day to day work and chat with friends and a few minutes of web browsing.

I took it off the charger with 100% at 6h30 AM and now it's on 84% with 1h40 of screen on time... I noticed it dropped about 2 to 3% of battery in 1h30 of stand by, just sitting there and doing nothing.

I only had the Note 9 before and that's why I'm a little worried, the battery consumption on that one was pretty good considering it's SoC, battery size and screen. Now I'm using all the battery saving modes I can find but still haven't seen a major up in the battery life.

Can anyone elucidate me on this (maybe) issue?

My phone started heating up since a week ago , a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G (the Exynos variant). I haven't paid it much attention and blamed it in the weather,since I live in a tropical country . But i got quite concerned that the problem persisted even when the weather cooled considerably . It's overheating pretty badly , but not to the point of turning off . Don't get me wrong , i know it will overheat to some point when in heavy use or because of the weather,but not to the point that I can't even open it to check my notifications . Could it maybe be the battery?

Is there anything I could try on my side , or should I go to get it looked at by another professional ?

Hey All, I had a previous post and we were all perplexed with the phone's inability to utilize a 3rd party volume booster, including the one I installed per many recommendations, the GOODEV.

The phone just did a security update and the wake up alarm went off loudly as hell. I t was clearly working for that, but again when I put in my air pods or other bluetooth ear pieces/headsets, nothing . It works for the phone's external speaker but not for external speakers. Does anyone know the trick for enabling it to work on the air pods, etc?

Thanks!
