It sounds like the connector in the phone needs service. It may or may not be under warranty. Call Samsung to open a service ticket or call Ubreakfix directly if you have one close.

Yea, I knew that too 😉

It's not Google Home either so it must be one of your added Smart apps. Looks pretty close to my SmartThings app. I've got an app for every different brand of smart device, you might also.

You will only see full sized, 12mp images if you shoot in Pro Mode and raw (. Dng) All other are compressed into .jpeg or. heic images. With those images you can tell if they are 12mp by their pixel size. Looking in Gallery and then Details, a typical .jpg image is around 4MB file size and the pixel size is 3000x4000 or 12mp The same pixel sized, 4000x3000 raw (.dng) image which is not compressed as much is typically between 20-24MB in file size and is still 12mp (4000 X 3000 = 12,000,000 (12mp)).

It absolutely could be your router, check for a firmware update. When I provide troubleshooting tips most people refuse to even reboot their router because they're convinced that isn't the issue. The travel router is a good idea to try.

Has this always been a problem or just recently. I just tried with Message+ and Samsung Messages and did not have an issue. Maybe it's a VZW network problem in your area.

bill-e · ‎08-24-2022

You're welcome. Clearing and disconnecting everything is the only thing that ever really worked for me. Partial clearing has never worked so when this occurs, I take the 5 minutes to clear it all out and reconnect.

I would remove all traces of pairing from your phone and head unit. If your head unit has a Projection Manager, remove app pairings from that as well. The set up AA as new,.

I removed my lens protector shortly after I installed it. I was getting what you describe and glare on the lens because the protectors are not coated. Especially if you have a glass protector, the flash can enter the edges around the cutout for the flash and interfere with the picture. Only you can decide if you want to Leave it installed or not.

If you believe the bug to be related to the Samsung OS then Reproduce the issue and then open the Samsung Members app, click on Support (Lower right)->Feedback->Send Error Report, Remember to check on "Send System Data Log" If the bug happens in an app go to the Play Store and look for the developer's contact info and send them a bug report.

Take the reading with another device and then manually input it into Samsung Health for a record. Seems like a good feature request to me. The only device that can automatically fill in that data is a Galaxy Watch 3- 5

bill-e · ‎08-17-2022

@GTumms it may take a day or so for rhe first response from support. One thought, perhaps something got corrupted. You could try to reset your pen. From the Settings app, select Advanced features and tap S Pen. Tap Air actions and tap the 3 Dot menu. Select Reset S Pen. Your S Pen will be reset and reconnected to the device. You may experience a brief delay before it finishes connecting. Also, you haven't put a new case on the phone at the same time that this started happening?

bill-e · ‎08-17-2022

You'll need to submit error reports if you want to notify Samsung techie. Reproduce the issue and then open the Samsung Members app, click on Support (Lower right)->Feedback->Send Error Report, Remember to check on "Send System Data Log"

Try using Smart Switch Try using Smart Switch, Smart Switch for Windows https://www.samsung.com/global/download/smartswitchwin Smart Switch for Mac https://www.samsung.com/global/download/smartswitchmac/ Step 1. Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable provided with your device, and then open Smart Switch on your compute Step 2.

If SmartSwitch is not giving you a certain overdue update, the next step is to reach out to your carrier for further assistance, since updates are provided over the air to your device by them (NOT by Samsung).

I use the Gallery app widget. I create an album of say my dog, move the pictures I want to have access to, to that album, and then install the Gallery widget on my screen and point it to that album. It's great for those pics that you like to show off but can never find when you are looking for them.

The Tab S6 receives Biannual updates. So approximately 6 months or so from your last update.

bill-e · ‎08-14-2022

Right after the issue appears open the Samsung Members app, click on Support (Lower right)->Feedback->Send Error Report, Remember to check on "Send System Data Log" and if possible, attach a screen shot of the error dialog.

bill-e · ‎08-13-2022

When you said reset the network connections di you mean Settings->GeneralOnn Management->Reset->Reset Network Connections? Have you deleted the AA app data and cache, deleted all traces of the S21 from your head unit including the projection manager, and installed as new?

bill-e · ‎08-13-2022

Yea, that was just my shorthand way of saying the same thing. So are you not able to stream off the internet while AA is wirelessly connected or is there a different issue? I know that my phone is able to use mobile data when AA is wirelessly connected and I have that Switch to Mobile Data=OFF.

bill-e · ‎08-13-2022

What's the issue? There is no Advanced Button, you respond to a group text just as you would an SMS one. Make sure that in your Message settings - >More settings-. Multimedia Messages->Grout Conversations=ON

bill-e · ‎08-13-2022

The function of the Switch to Mobile Data option is to switch from WiFi data to Mobile Data when the WiFi Signal is weak. Like when you leave your house and the WiFi starts to drop off it assures a seamless transition to mobile data, I'm not sure how it would act when connected to AA WiFi if the AA WiFi signal is strong. I would have to experiment to see what's what.

bill-e · ‎08-12-2022

Great! While you're here, take a look at my post about my new Tab S8U/DeX setup. I'm really happy with it. https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tablets/Tab-S8-Ultra-and-DeX-has-replaced-my-windows-desktop/m-p/2344661#M29180

bill-e · ‎08-12-2022

I think it should work... Good luck!

bill-e · ‎08-12-2022

See if this works. Go to Settings->Connections->Long Press on WiFi->3 Dot Menu->Advanced->Toggle off Switch to mobile Data
