Yeah, that is why I liked cortana. It was a real assistant until Microsoft killed it. It wasn't limited as to what the calendar was able to do on its own.

One of the things I liked about Cortana on my old Windows phone was that if I had an upcoming appointment and it knew the location, it would warn me when I needed to leave in order to get there on time. And it would take account of traffic affecting driving time. Can I do that with bixby somehow?

Thanks for that. Never would have thought to do that. But it sort of is not useful as a "GLANCE"/"Always on display" feature. My old windows phone displayed the information all the time on the AOD (and it didn't kill the easily replaceable battery). Oh well. Better than nothing. Especially since I use facial recognition and never see the LOCK screen. Did you stumble on that, or did you find that documented somewhere?

hmmm... I DO see the widgets in the LOCK screen, but, despite turning on the option to show on the "always on display", it doesn't work there. Maybe it is just a bug or conflict with some other setting. I think I have turned on some feature somewhere that ignores accidental taps so that my phone doesn't make phone call or something else while it is bumping around in my pocket. I THOUGH I tried turning that off, but maybe I'll look into that again. ... time passes ... Nope, that setting didn't make it happen. Only appears on LOCK screen.

Bummer. I actually don't see ANY of the features talked about here: https://www.samsung.com/latin_en/support/mobile-devices/what-are-the-new-features-and-upgrades-of-one-ui-4-1/?msclkid=d6a4cbd4c57611ec99452c54566032b0

Just got One UI 4.1 on Galaxy S10 and when looking up new features, there was supposed to be "smart widgets" that could be on the always on screen. But it doesn't seem to be there. If it isn't available now for S10, will it be later on? I was looking forward to this feature as I had something like it on my OLD Windows phone from long ago. (Really liked that phone and would not have the Samsung phone if Microsoft hadn't dropped it. <sigh> Though admittedly, I like the S10 well enough.)

What resolution happens when the 4k video is cast to a 4k TV? Does it still only do the resolution of the phone? Or what if the phone is running Dex on the 4k TV. is Dex playback limited to phone resolution?

Well, apparently it eventually syncs. Even though I did a "sync now" on both phones, it didn't make any difference. Apparently Microsoft Exchange syncs when it feels like it. At least it DOES work.

I just got rid of Outlook app on Galaxy S10 because it has been 6 months to a year that sending email using my Spectrum account broke (I'm guessing expired SSL certificates on some of their servers). They said they were working on it, but nothing.... So I switched everything to the Samsung Mail and Calendar. Things looked like they were working pretty well. It was syncing events between my phone and the Outlook Exchange Server so I assumed everything was okay. Then I created an event on a calendar that is shared with my wife. The calendar is the new "Your Family" calendar which I was please to see the app discovered. However, I'm not sure the event ever gets synced. After at least a 15 minute wait and syncing both phones manually, it didn't show up on her phone. I tried creating an event on the outlook web page and it showed up on my calendar there and my phone, but nothing happened on my wife's phone. Is there anything else I need to do so that when I add to the Your Family calendar, it shows up on my wife's Samsung Calendar app? Or do you have to wait a really long time before things show up?

Yep, I never even noticed the icon. Even in the middle of a voice call one can press the icon and voila, video. Don't know if there are extra charges from att to use it, but there was no warning about it. Also haven't checked if it also works when not using wifi. Will check it out thanks.

I was kind of looking for HOW to do that. So I can't "try it". I was looking for someone that has an already tried and true mechanism that could be shared here. I don't video much at all and usually would skype someone although I have also got Duo installed.

If you are already in a phone call with someone, is it possible to switch it to video call?

Well, I just renamed the folder and somehow it found it at the new location. So it made it easy to use, but, being a programmer, I'd still like to know where it keeps that information.

Nope all my photos and videos go into "SkyDrive camera roll" in the cloud. Hence why I'm trying to find where that setting is so that I can potentially change it. I presume since you, for instance, have it in a different place, SOMETHING SOMEWHERE must be keeping track of that location and be "changeable".

As far as I can tell from a quick read over, that is just describing how syncing to cloud works. It doesn't say where the setting is that says what the target OneDrive folder is. That is the information I'm looking for. I've been using OneDrive since it was SkyDrive and using a Windows phone. When I switched to Samsung S10, I set up OneDrive and the sync has been working since then. But I never looked to see how it decided which folder to use on the OneDrive cloud. I just used whatever it did. Now, I'm considering changing the folder structure for a variety of reasons, and I don't know how to CHANGE what folder the phone targets on the cloud. I don't have a Samsung Cloud app.

@LongHiker Hmph. I guess that means that the location is specified SOMEWHERE, but I don't know where. Yours is definitely organized differently than mine. But SOMETHING has to track where the phone is supposed to upload pictures to. I'm sure ours is in a SkyDrive folder because we started back when it WAS SkyDrive and Microsoft had to rename it because of Sky TV lawsuit. And we were using Windows Phones which used SkyDrive. So probably when we installed OneDrive on the phones it got the location of the upload folder from something and continues to have that stored somewhere. I wanted to change it to just "Camera Roll" or even some subfolder of something, but can't see how to change it. Which led me to ask the question of where the setting is for where the upload should be targeted. Thanks for that information anyway.

@LongHiker As far as I can tell, you are talking about where on the PHONE the camera roll is. I'm asking about where they are in OneDrive. Like when you go to the web interface to OneDrive. Where are the camera roll photos there, on the web interface? For me, I have the camera roll on the phone at "SD Card/DCIM/Camera". And that syncs to "SkyDrive camera roll" on OneDrive on the web interface.

Hmm... I just checked to see what the OneDrive camera roll folder was for both my wife and me. After checking the contents to see which folders were getting actually updated with latest photos, it looks like both of us have the SAME folder. That folder is "SkyDrive camera roll". I could have sworn one of them was actually just "Camera Roll". That must have been a local folder or something else. So, never mind. 🙂 It looks like there might not be a setting saying where the camera roll goes on OneDrive. Assuming everyone sees the "SkyDrive camera roll". Of course, ours might be that because we've been using OneDrive with Windows Phones before having to switch to Samsung phones. Where does everyone else have it? What say you? Is it just "Camera roll", or does everyone have "SkyDrive camera roll"? If not everyone has the old skydrive designation, then there must be a setting somewhere...?

I'm not asking where the camera roll is on the phone. I'm asking where the onedrive location is obtained from. I presume there is a setting somewhere that says when the camera on the phone uploads new photos, the place to store them on OneDrive is "some name on onedrive". There must be a setting someplace since my wife's phone sends to a different folder than mine.

When I take pictures, they automatically go to the Camera Roll folder on OneDrive. Where is the specification on the phone as to where that Camera Roll folder is? My wife has one and I have a different one. I can't find where a setting might be that names the folder for "camera roll".

Mine fingerprint is difficult to read sometimes because my skin is so dry. Just as a test, try moistening your thumb (I just lick it or rub the thumb and finger together a few times). The touch the sensor. Does that work better for you. A moistened thumb works every time for me. And with the UI 3.0 it seems to work even quicker than before. Good luck.

I'm also in US. Just to double check, are you SURE you don't have one. I didn't think I did at first either. It was on so smooth that I didn't notice it at all in the beginning. And it wrapped around the rounded edges of the display so it was harder to see that it was there.

My S10 came with a screen protector already on. Doesn't the S21 have the same thing? At first I didn't realize it was on there as it looked like just the glass screen. But I got a replacement for my wife's S10 and I took the old one off and put the new one on. So I'm guessing it already has a screen protector and the fingerprint scanning works fine on my S10 with that screen protector. Admittedly, if my thumb is very dry, it doesn't pick it up. I just rub my thumb and finger together and that is usually enough to make it work.

What makes you think the cloud can't lose stuff? It is just computer stuff after all. One wrong keystroke can screw things up royal. I've read of people that had accounts suspended and then everything on it was deleted. Gone forever. What if the building that houses that cloud storage has a fire and gets destroyed? Going back a long time ago, I worked for Occidental Systems Incorporated in IT. Back then, the important financial data was stored on magnetic tape. We had a room full of tapes and an operator to mount them. And the tapes were backed up in "generations" so if one was lost, they could still go back to the previous one. One day, something happened to the main tape. So they went to the backup tape. No good. Went to the previous backup. No good. Went to every backup tape for that that they had. ALL bad! How could all the tapes go bad. It turned out that the cleaning staff would clean the floors. And buff them with a big buffing machine. As that electric motor was whisked back and forth on the floor, EVERY tape on the bottom rack was erased by the magnetic field. Of course, nowadays, they likely don't have magnetic tape, but the point is, you can never guess what bad thing can happen, until it does. I have stuff on the phone, backed up to the PC, PC backed up to external storage AND cloud storage. And the photos I back up to metal disk every once in a while which are supposed to be good for 1000 years (unlike DVDs, for instance) So good luck depending on cloud storage alone...

Cloud storage would be OK (maybe too slow), but when you are in a place with no internet at all, then cloud doesn't works so well. I've been many places where I was thankful I had my SD card. (Been to 50 countries and then don't all have internet access everywhere)

fwiw, I currently have a total of 400+ gig of storage used on internal and SD card. I don't think that will fit on the s21, especially if there is no SD card.
