It would not dilute the remaining detergent, the dispensers are made with a one way valve. It may pump the detergent from a sealed container, but it pumps it into the dispenser which, in turn, gets a water flow to push the gooey liquid detergent out and keep the dispenser clean. Sometimes the outflow duct gets clogged with congealed detergent. You can take a cotton swap and unclog it or run hot water through it to try to dissolve it. You user manual or a call to Samsung service should be able to give you more troubleshooting information.

Detergent dispensers fill with water to push the detergent out into the wash cycle, but should not remain in the dispenser. If your dispenser is not draining of water, this could be an issue or a clog. First check the input and output valves to make sure they are not blocked. If they are not blocked, there could be a different issue and you may have to call support to see if it needs service or there is something else you need to do. You can first see if there's anything in the user manual about troubleshooting this issue.

@spunnkielilspice no. Quick Share is so that you can quickly share files and photos with other people (or your own other devices). Mirroring is broadcasting your phone's screen to another device capable of receiving it - there is usually no exchange of files.

Samsung has elected not to allow that risk.

The spam folder is not actually in the main messages screen, you have to tap your avatar and tak on spam and blocked

You actually marked my comment, not your own, but at least its marked as resolved. I don't believe you can unmark it.

Tap the 3 dots next to your post and tap accept as solution.

realaud · ‎11-23-2025

Well, at least you figured it out. Now you should mark your last comment as your solution so others don't keep trying to help you fix it.

Which setting did you use? Do you mean flash screen in the accessibility settings or edge lighting? if you turned on the flash notification in accessibility, not only should you turn it off, you should remove the app from the selected app list. This should stop it.

As far as identifying bulk and spam texts, if you go into the settings in Google Messages, and enable spam protection in the protection & safety section, a spam box is created and all texts identified as spam (either by reporting or blocking them yourself), will end up there. You will get no notifications for them and you can just forget about them. You can periodically check the folder to see how much is in there and then clear it. You can also keep Samsung messages and swith it to the default app when you want to mass delete stuff.

Google messages has a delete all for messages in the spam folder. If you want to delete multiple chats (all messages in specific chats), you can long press one and tap subsequent ones to mark for deletion. Same for multiple messages within chats. Long press one, tap on subsequent ones, hit delete. You can see in my screen shot that I have selected 6 messages for deletion. All I have to do is hit the delete icon. Yeah, I guess it does not have the select all option, and tapping 2000 messages can get tiresome, but it can be done in stages. I believe the select all omission is deliberate to prevent people from selecting all and then later discovering they deleted an important text.

Why would you use Samsung messages to clear out old spam? Google messages has a spam filter (or are you simply referring to old, extraneous messages as spam?), and you can just delete individual messages from within a chat thread, or delete the whole chat and start over. Samsung is no longer fully supporting its own messaging app, so there will be glitches, especially when it comes to RCS and group messaging. Carriers only fully support RCS through Google messages and it has the most compatibility between Android and iPhone users. You are going to want to keep using Google messages.

Please create your own post instead of posting in an unrelated thread. You will get more eyes on your issue and, thus, more suggestions.

If you've had it for a while, registration is moot anyway, as any warranty would be expired. I do understand wanting it to be listed in your account, though.

Carnival (and it likely includes Princess - same company) and NCL are two that I know don't support wi-fi calling on any wi-fi tier, at least they didn't as of two years ago. Royal Caribbean and Celebrity support it on the streaming tier.

realaud · ‎11-22-2025

Have you ever used wifi calling on that device before? In many cases, you have to have an E911 address registered, and have made at least one phone call over wifi. You can do this by putting wifi calling on and connecting to your wifi network and making sure wifi preferred is on in the call preference setting. It should automatically switch to wi fi calling when connected. Do not put it in airplane mode until that first call is made. After that, it should work in airplane mode. If that doesn't work, contact your carrier for assistance. Also, be aware that at least two cruise lines do not support wifi calling on any tier plan, and others do only on the premium tier. If all else fails and you don't get it sorted before your trip, you can use WhatsApp or Google Meet for communication over wi-fi.

I don't know why sometimes it just misses the restart time, it's happened to me on more than one occasion - maybe something active in the background. But, then the next time it restarts on schedule. I also seem to have an absolute knack for pulling it out of my pocket to use it mid-restart. The only things I can suggest is 1) set a secondary time/day so if it misses one, it may catch the other. 2) submit an error report within 15 minutes of the missed restart time so the information will still be in the logs.

As has been said a few times before in this post, your only other option is to switch from the Samsung dialer to Phone by Google, available in the Play store. You are not required to use the Samsung dialer. I understand that Phone by Google also has better spam blocking.

Are you sure? When the phone restarts on the auto optimization, it looks like nothing happened, except you will have to unlock it with your pin or password, not fingerprint. You can check if it did the auto restart by going into device care/auto optimization and seeing when the last auto restart was. I have experienced times when if failed to do an auto restart for whatever reason. You can do a manual restart at any time, or you can just wait and see if it's consistently missing the auto restart. As I suggested earlier, you might want to set a backup date and time until you see it's working consistently. BTW. I don't know if you just left the phone sitting or you were holding it, but having the screen on seems to count as "use" and if the screen is on, the phone won't restart.

realaud · ‎11-21-2025

Apps running in the bacground don't count as activity.

realaud · ‎11-21-2025

If your phone was in use within a half hour of your sceduled restart time, the restart will be delayed for about an hour. If you continue to use it, it likely will skip the restart completely. I have it scheduled for a time that I know I absolutely won't be using it and no other operations are scheduled. There's no accounting for incoming phone calls, though, if one should happen to come in at restart time. You can chose anither time as backup, say tuesday and Friday so if it fails to execute on one day, it will execute on the other.

That doesn't mean that everyone wants it forced on them

realaud · ‎11-21-2025

It seems there is a great divide between those that hate the frosted glass effect and those that love it and want it badly. I wouldn't mind seeing it as an option, perhaps in themes or theme park, but I wouldn't want it forced on me, as I am squarely in the "hate it" camp.

You can search the web for an older apk for the app. You will have to remember, though, to turn off auto updates for the app in the Play store so that you don't end up with the same issue.

realaud · ‎11-21-2025

It's possible that the app developer did not update the app to be compatible with that aspect of the new system. Or, they did update the app, and just didn't program the ability for it to be on top of other apps. You would have to check with the developer of the app. The only apps that will appear in that list are apps that have the appear on top ability coded into them.

Please make your own post instead of inserting your issue into a completely unrelated thread.

Have you put in an error report? It's possible the gradual deployment of the fix has not reached you yet, but you should put in a report anyway.

realaud · ‎11-20-2025

Then your best bet is to uninstall Samsung wallet, reboot and then reinstall it. The installation could have been corrupted.

realaud · ‎11-20-2025

If all else fails, you can always open a web browser, navigate to photos.google.com, sign into your Google account and download the photos that are backed up in Google. if your laptop is on the same wi-fi network as your phone, you can use link to windows and download the photos from your gallery wirelessly.
