On Android 13 now (buggy AF, not happy about it). Sync is working again. Also got it working on A 12...... in Connections | Bluetooth, click the gear cog on the connected device you want to see battery % & have Media Volume Sync working on & make sure "Calls" AND "Audio" are both on.... This will show the battery % in the BT Connections page & in the Media Output screen from the top dropdown, and will also get Media Volume Sync working again.

I have a samsung Galaxie S8+ and I've been searching for weeks for a solution to this. I keep running across the same post from one source or another about going into apps, settings, notifications,,, and none of these apply. I don't have the options on my screen that are implied. There is nothing anywhere on my phone that mentions turning off blocked call notifications and it makes me insanely crazy that this would even be an issue. Who would think it's ok to get a notification every time a call is blocked? That's just crazy! Opens in new window PDF Download Word Download Excel Download PowerPoint Download Document Download

The blue dot on the contact means the messaging app will search your contact list to see which of your contacts have phones that support RCS. If you utilize an RCS network infrastructure on both of your phones, the other person's contact information will have a blue dot next to it if you are in communication with them.

My Galaxy Buds Live worked perfectly, until they didn't. My left bud works fine, but the right bud is barely audible. I used to wear them daily, until this problem started happening, they were put aside for my Bose.... until today, I tried again without success.

Fool me once, you. Fool me twice, me: I will NEVER AGAIN purchase a Samsung Galaxy watch. First purchased watch was a Galaxy Frontier about 2 years ago. Started acting weird and eventually stopped turning on. Sent to Samsung repair (under warranty) and they came back to me with a "not covered under warranty due to water damage" claim and denied warranty repair. I argued and pushed but they were having none of it. The watch has never been near water. I did however wear the watch for a heart rate monitoring and tracking with my Strava app during cycling. When you do workouts, you sweat. I suppose that's where the water damage might have come from. I chalked it up for 1. the watch not being "active" ready and 2. me not being the most careful while exercising and sweating. Fast forward another year. The Active2 comes out (Model #SM-R820NZKCXAR). I start getting excited and read all the specs and it's IP67 water resistent capabilty (not water proof, I realize the difference). So I pull the trigger and drop antoher $300 and purchased the Active2 watch December of 2019. Due to Covid and some injuries I've had, I have not used the watch "actively" all that much. I would say I've been on 15 bike rides since purchase of watch. The last ride, the watch shut down on me and has never come back on. I returned it to Samsung for repair and wouldn't you know, it's not being covered under warranty again and they want to charge me $220.00 to repair it. I'm so irate at Samsung and their service department. Why on earth would Samsung make a watch and call it "Active2" where it promotes to use it for activities like running, swimming, biking, etc. where it's expected to be in contact with moisture?! But then, when the watch stops working due to poor technology design and architecture, they pass the buck to the unsuspecting innocent consumer who is out yet another $300. I'm disgusted, angry, dissapointed and frustrated at Samsung. Most of all, I'm upset at myself for buying another Samsung watch from Samsung. NEVER AGAIN. Shame on Samsung for making a crappy inferior product that's horribly designed and not owning the shortcomings and flaws while taking care of their customers with no questions asked. This does not bode well for them at all. I'm over them. This time for good.

Interesting, I always get the unlocked version for T-mobile. Curious if this is true cause my service is always iffy, even in city areas where there is supposedly Great Full Bar LTE.

i think i may have found a solution here.... I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra through Verizon These are the steps on my phone: 1) Settings 2) Notifications 3) Advanced Settings 4) once you get into the Advanced Settings you see a lot of options, look at the "Notification Reminders" 5) I cant explain the WHY behind this but I had this function off and there were 2 apps selected by default. One of these apps was my texting platform. 6) If yours is indeed OFF turn it on and and click on SELECT APPS TO GET REMINDERS FOR 7) In that screen you see a toggle for ALL APPS 😎 click on ALL APPS so all your apps are selected and then CLICK AGAIN so all apps are turned off 9) Once you toggled ALL APPS to OFF position, back out to where you see the main ON/OFF toggle for Notification Reminders and toggle it to the OFF position This worked for me. I have no idea WHY i was getting double notifications even though this function was in fact OFF. I cant explain it, it doesn't make sense, but this did work for me. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I HELPED 🙂

This does not solve the issue in anyway. Would rather return the watch before downloading some knock off app that God knows what their security is like.
