This may be a bit hyper specific, but I have a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach E, which I got used a couple weeks ago. I use my Galaxy Fold 5 as the key via Bluetooth, and it worked fine until a few days ago when I installed the security update 20.0. it drove to work fine, I installed the update while at work, and then it did not work to get me home. I tried to reinitiate the key generation process in the app, but it claims it cannot connect to the car, when my wife's iPhone still can. I was just curious if anyone has any thoughts on if the recent update deprecated a feature the app uses, or if they had had a similar experience. The update seem to be pushed by Samsung, and not from within Android, so I figured I would ask here first. Thanks.

I'm using a galaxy s24 with google messages so I can use rcs for messaging. I also have samsung messages installed which I prefer using, it supported sending rcs on my old a73 but never on my s24.

I received an update yesterday for samsung messages on my s24 and now I can enable chat messages. To me it looks like they have enabled rcs through samsung messages on the s24 and others I'm guessing.

Am I reading this right or is "chat messages" not rcs?

Before the final release next year, Samsung says it will remove that annoying watermark from the app drawer in One UI 7.

According to the latest leaks, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series won’t be seeing a price hike in Europe, but that...

The Galaxy S24 series is still heavily discounted from Sasmung, but this is probably the last event before the company...

I have connected my Samsung Q60 to WiFi via WPS. This works fine so far. But when i restart the TV, i have to reconnect every time via WPS again, since the TV doesn't remember the WiFi connection. If it is connected, it works fine so far. If i look at the router, i can see, that it is using always the same MAC address to connect, so this is not the issue.

As per title.

I've avoided updating for months now seeing all the complaints.

Did Samsung resolve the issue?

I have the T55 27inch curve monitor that randomly went to a black screen and will not display anything.

No built-in menu, no pop up saying searching for inputs like HDMI. Nothing.

I was playing "For the King 2", and my monitor just goes dark. My pc was still running the game and I could hear others in Discord just fine.

Right now i am unsure of what to do. I have tried the following:

  • Unplug monitor for 30+ seconds
  • Checked HDMI cable
  • Held the Jog switch for 1 minute
  • Plugged monitor into the wall
  • Tried using the directional functions on jog switch (just cause screen to flicker on and off but nothing is displayed.
  • Restarting computer (which obviously did nothing).

Am at a loss right now. Had this monitor for about 3 years so I think the warranty is gone. What do I do if it doesn't start working in its own again?

Edit: Imgur post showing the issue

Edit 2: I decided to contact Best Buy and see about trade-ins, and discovered I bought the 4 year extended warranty!! So i got it exchanged for a "different" model... Which turned out to be the exact same thing just called something else.

I didn't know where else to ask, but my phone seems to default to the AOSP default "Files" app and I do not use Samsung's version. I want to remove it via ADB, but I fear data loss/file deletion. I have come here as a last resort as I can find this nowhere online.

I have a Samsung watch 6. The main reason I bought it is for running so I can log strava with HR monitoring and listen to podcasts. Well after a few runs logged, the HR monitor on the watch is really quite terrible. Yes I know all about the watch positioning on the wrist. It has massive gaps in HR logging and just blinks while I'm in cool down. What I'd really like to do is hook the watch up with a chest strap HR monitor, but I can't figure out how to do that.

So I'm hoping for 2 pieces of advice: -any hot tips for using the HR monitoring. -how to hook up a Bluetooth chest strap HR monitor

Thanks!

I made the mistake of updating to 6.1 and now my fingerprint scanner doesn't work. I've done a full factory reset of my device and still doesn't work. I'm hoping the May 2024 update fixes it whenever it comes out.

Otherwise Samsung support says I've to send it for repair! Which didn't make sense if it's a software issue

I have Samsung Tab 9 Ultra and S23. I'm taking notes on tablet and I can easily search my handwritten notes. It's working great. But S23 can't find or search anything about OCR. Same account, same notes, latest updates etc.. I guess Samsung won't even try to search via OCR if the device does not have S Pen capability.

Any workaround or alternative? Because this is a critical workflow for me. I'm taking notes and I have to find it whenever I need without tablet.

I recently purchased a Samsung S90C. Been loving the TV, but one of the things I've had an issue with is the large tutorial buttons at the top of the Gaming tab in the hub. I didn't need the tutorials to begin with, and I watched them all anyway, hoping that they would go away after being watched. That did not change anything.

This is mostly annoying because when I navigate to that tab it defaults to being on that row of the UI, but I will never intentionally select any of those items again. If I could just get rid of that row, then it may default to the next row down which is the row I actually care about on that screen.
