Ok, what about this as a temporary fix. There's a feature in good lock, "Multistar" that let you drag the corner of the screen to resize the app. Open the first, resize than open the second and resize so you can tap on either to use it.

Sorry guys, I know you've tried. I think I'm going to give up as nothing seems to work. I've tried, "dex, Link to pc, nearby share and wifi direct." Guess it's back to slow bluetooth. Dex works but only for viewing your phone on the PC desktop. Can't even pull up photos I am a huge fan of the note series and started with the note 8. Am now wondering why they call them flagship phones when they have the means to do things but don't when you try. Why have WIFI direct in a phones setting but not the corresponding app to use it? Especially when a much older model does. Same with samsung pay. MST is the only reason I use it as it's backward compatible. NFC has a weaker signal strength and doesn't work 3/4th of the time, Now they are getting rid of MST also!!

This might sound off the wall but. First is the phone new, if so go to your carrier sand let them check it out. Second, how old is your sim card. If you upgraded phones with the same carrier they usually just put the Sim card from your old phone into the new one. I just watched a video that showed worn card can cause all sorts of buggy problems. in the mean time if your comfortable doing so, you can pull out the card and clean the gold contacts off. I've gently used a pencil eraser and a qtip to wipe off the debris after. Also before putting it back in, hold the phone upside down and blow out the slot.

I would try clearing the cache and repairing the apps. Just note, "doing this you will not lose any data." during updates little bugs creep in and clearing the cache usually solves it. Turn OFF your phone and remove any charging cables Press and hold the Volume UP and POWER buttons at the same time Release the buttons after the phone powers on and displays the Android logo The phone will display No Command; after several seconds, The Android Recovery Menu should appear Note: If the Android logo followed by the Android Recovery Menu doesn't appear, you'll need to start the process again Press the Volume DOWN button to highlight wipe cache partition Press the POWER button to select it Press the Volume DOWN button to highlight Yes and press the POWER button to select it After the Cache Wipe is complete, menu items will reappear, with Reboot system now highlighted Press the POWER button to select it choose repair apps. phone will reboot after this completes!

Ok. dug out my old note 8 and it connects to my note 20 via WIFI direct. However I don't know the next step. Example, send a photo from note 20 to note 8 as WIFI direct doesn't show under share. Tried WIFI direct to PC and got the same results as note 20. Almost there!!

I usually do the cache and repair whenever the phone updates but did it anyway just now! I get to the point where the phone says, "Tap to connect." I do that and it tries and then returns to Tap to connect. I feel I'm missing a step somewhere. should the PC respond or should I do something. Nearby sharing is on on the PC

For years I'v been using USB or bluetooth to move files between my old note 8 and now my note 20 ultra. Tried wifi direct as suggested and nada. I just watched several videos on youtube of guys sending and receiving files to a pc with nearby share. I have both enabled on my phone/pc but neither will show the other. Am I missing something. Is there a more comprehensive video. TIA

I keep hearing this here and in youtube videos, " If you go to: setting>software update> last update you can see that was last updated." but the only thing there is to check for new updates. I never see a list of what's included!

I've had apple phones before switching to android. Thanks to bixby, I don't even have to touch my phone. It does everything including settings. I even control things in my house. The only part I feel needs work is the wake-up feature as it's not sensitive enough!!

If you tap the colored dot next to a message it will highlight bit and the trash icon will appear at the bottom. The only swipe I know of is in the recent calls list. you can swipe left or right to call or text!

Figured it out. turned out to be a setting under lock screen setting, "notifications wass off. You'd think when you turn on brief notification that should be it. But you have 3 different places to turn on to get one thing to work. I hope samsung is reading this and consolidate the 3 into one place. TIA

Ok, I backed up the phone. Did a Factory reset, but did not restore anything except the updates from the galaxy store. setup Samsung Messages and turned on edge lighting. After screen timed out, I had my friend send a message. Got the usual notification sound but no lighting. Tried with just bubbles, nada, tried both, no. Any ideas? Thank you!!

No, The only thing that was changed was the animation timing. However, I disabled developer options to see if it effected it.

Ok, I thought I had everything set but I guess not. I've been using the bubble feature for incoming text messages, "it displays an icon on the home screen that you can tap to open the message." along with edge lighting.
Every so often it stops working even though it's enabled. I anyone else experiencing this?? I know to get bubbles to work there are two settings you must choose, now I can't find the second one!!
TIA

OK, Am reposting this as I can no longer reply to the original post as this web forum is screwy when your not allowed to answer a tech question as the reply buttons are grayed out. And yes, I verified my email. My phone has been giving me the notification sound several times a day but when I look, there is no notification anywhere. I followed @GaryB82 advice and installed Notistar and Nice catch. Neither of which list the offender.
