Clearing the cache seems to have fixed the Wi-Fi issue. The volume issue turned out to be the update disabling the Use Volume Keys for Media setting.

I submitted this issue as a bug report and the response the Support Team got from the Design Team was that the feature was removed due to low usage. I guess this is now a feature request. Even if it was a niche feature, it was really useful and not having it has impacted my user experience, so I would like to politely request that the removal of the option be reconsidered when it comes to future updates.

Do Not Disturb is off, and both Bixby Routines and Scenarios in SoundAssistant are disabled.

I've had it too. It was disabled before but it seems the setting was re-enabled somehow. What PinkAngel said worked for me, once I found where they hid it.

If you're talking about EdgeLighting+ from Good Lock, Android 11 broke it and I believe the ETA on the update is February 2021. The regular EdgeLighting is now Settings > Notifications > Brief Pop-Up Settings. It started working when I changed it to a default selection, I think.

Since the update to Android 11, I've noticed my phone has been changing settings on its own without my knowledge or consent, and it doesn't seem to be the work of any app. Wi-Fi keeps turning itself on, and nothing shows up in Wi-Fi Control History. All of the autonomous Wi-Fi settings are disabled as well. The second is volume setting, which keeps changing itself from vibrate to silent. Not sure where to check for settings related to that. I haven't installed any new apps recently, and Google Play Protect found nothing. Anyone else having this issue?

It gets in the way of apps that only support landscape mode, as well as fullscreen videos. It's not guaranteed that app developers will or even can release a patch to address this issue.

I hope so. This is a severe issue that impacts the usability of the phone, and there's no guarantee that the individual app developers are going to (or even can) release patches to fix an issue caused by Samsung's mistake.

I don't see why that should be an excuse to create a detrimental experience for their users. I'm already warning my friends not to upgrade to Android 11 until the issue is fixed.

The camera cutout gets in the way. This is a serious issue they need to fix.

After the update to Android 11, the Hide Camera Cutout option under Display/Fullscreen Apps/Advanced has gone missing, and the setting itself isn't working either. This is a serious issue as the camera cutout gets in the way of many apps, especially games. Does anyone know a workaround for this issue?

I just read about this in a news story while I was looking up info about the Samsung Galaxy S20, the phone I was planning on upgrading to, but now I'm not so certain I'll be choosing it. If there's one thing I won't tolerate ads in, it's a core app vital to the device's basic functionality like the Phone app. It's completely unacceptable, even moreso on a phone that costs hundreds of dollars.

If you disabled the app, that's probably why. However, on my phone the option to disable the DeX system app is itself disabled. And force stopping doesn't prevent the notification either.

It isn't possible. The Disable option is disabled for all three Samsung DeX apps. Already tried.

After updating my Samsung Galaxy S9 to Android 10, I've noticed an annoying "feature". Every time I plug my phone into my PC, a notification from DeX for PC appears on my phone telling me about Samsung DeX. This notification can be cleared, but there is no way to acknowledge it (so it stops appearing) or turning off the notification. And because it happens every time, it's quickly become a nuisance. Is there any workaround or fix? I've tried to support it, but the official FAQ is useless because there is no Samsung DeX option in the Settings menu, thus no way to select the Contact Us option.

If it's a simple system update, you can probably restore a backup from SmartSwitch. If it's a major update, for example, Android 9 to Android 10, there is no official or supported way to do so.

Looked it up. Given the game's publisher, the error message is most likely because your phone has been rooted, the app has been modified to allow cheats, or both. It could also just be you have USB Debugging enabled under Developer Settings.

This is why I make frequent backups using Smart Switch. It's never happened to me, knock on wood, but if you use a lockscreen (it might also be Secure Startup or both), there is an option to automatically activate a factory reset if an incorrect pin is entered too many times.

Try checking if the theme has been updated for Android 9.0. In Galaxy Themes, select the person icon and then Purchased Items. The Settings menu was changed in Pie.

It's pre-installed bloatware called Flipboard Briefing. You should be able to uninstall or disable it through Settings.

I've had this issue too since updating to Pie on my S9. Mostly with Versizon's Messages+.

Have you tried manually verifying that Google Play Store is up-to-date? In Google Play Store, tap on the menu icon, select Settings, then tap on the Version number.

"Bump" means they are only responding so that the thread has a new post and appears at the top of the Recent Activity list. Don't know what happened to the app on the S10, but I wish I could give you mine. Don't need the bloatware on my S9.
