When using Microsoft Yourphone with Samsung phones, they sometimes seem to have an issue when YourPhone and Dex are open at the same time. Make sure if Dex launches to close it down. Other than that, chances are that it *is* a Microsoft issue. You may want to check some of the procedures listed here... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4531298/troubleshooting-the-your-phone-app

Re: Galaxy Buds Live poor fit and poor sound
4 weeks ago
I assume that you had them in upside right? The reason I ask is that I had the same experience/impression you did after my first wearing of them. I found them to be tinny sounding and awful. Then I realized when looking at them the next day I had actually put them in upside down. They sound far better when I have them on the right side up :) I can't compare them to the buds+ as I only have the original buds, but I do find that they sound far better than my original buds. That said, the fit could be better and I have been working through Samsung (which is a slow process) to get a set of the silicone sleeves for the Galaxy Buds Live to see if that helps with fit. Primarily the issue is with my left ear, where the bean always feels loose and like it wants to fall out. It never actually does, but the feeling is disconcerting.

With your keyboard open in your messages app, click the small keyboard icon at the bottom right corner. When that opens, next to Samsung Keyboard click the gear icon. Find Style and Layout and open it. Turn on Keyboard Toolbar and exit. Now on your keyboard Toolbar, you should see added to the ribbon a round-shaped smiley that will contain the standard icons, a square-shaped smiley with the lower corner peeling up that contains bit-moji's and stickers, and a square icon containing the word GIF. That should give you more options than just the stickers in your messages.

Even buying a fitness watch you may not get the result you hope for. My Active Watch 2 seems to do an abysmal job of counting steps. I go up and down stairs several times a day and it tells me I have done 1 flight. I really like the watch in general, but I don't know what is going on with stairs.

Pulse SMS has a Chrome extension that would work on Mac if you are using Chrome or a Chrome based browser rather than Safari.

Definitely sounds like a faulty phone. That can happen with the iPhone as well. Believe me, I was an iPhone user from 2007 through last year. Get it swapped and I believe you will find that you enjoy the phone a lot when it isn't misbehaving

I agree with you on that. I also live in Colorado and where I live we went from 102 on Monday down to a high of 32 on Tuesday. But I was in and out from the cold to the warm and back to the cold all day. I think if the issue is temperature related, it only exploited what already may have been a defect in the OP's glass.

I have a couple of micro scratches on mine. But I put it in my pocket with no screen protector and being realistic, I understand that I must have somehow done it. I don't know of any phone manufacturer using Sapphire glass. Apple was allegedly going to make that move, but their supplier GT Advanced Technology was charged with fraud I believe, so it never happened. That leaves everyone using Corning Gorilla Glass, so I honestly can't think of any phone manufacturer who would have a more scratch resistant screen. No, I am not a fanboy, I am relatively new to Android/Samsung.

I assume you have done the reset Spen. I don't suppose you have any friends with a Galaxy Note that would allow you to temporarily pair their Spen with your phone? That might at least give you a starting point of knowing whether it is your Spen or your Phone that is having a problem.

I agree with the user above in that there are no longer any phones with a dedicated LED for notifications. They have pretty much gone the way of the head phone jack. Calling a phone a brick because it doesn't have one? I think you will find everyone is making bricks these days. You do have a few options for notifications such notification reminders, camera flash which will blink the camera led flash or screen flash which will flash the screen. There are also a few good apps out there (not sure if Samsung Members allows us to list any) which do a pretty good job of a persistent notification in the absence of the LED.

Do you have any other Apple computers or iPad? You also need to turn off iMessage on every one of them if you do. iMessage is great, but it's very obtrusive in the way it takes over.

Are you certain about that? It was a feature that Samsung had on the S10 and Note 10 models. My Note 10+ had it, my Note 20 Ultra does not. This CNET article says it was only available on the S10, but I believe it was printed prior to the Note 10 https://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-unveils-instagram-mode-for-galaxy-s10-camera/#:~:text=The Korean electronics giant on Wednesday announced Instagram,photo or video without leaving the camera app.

My auto restart is also not working and I have it set to restart 3X a week. Like you or was working fine for my Note 10+. I am going to wait and see if it is resolved with the September update. If not, time to see if it works in safe mode and start troubleshooting from there :)

I am experiencing this with Tmobile. If I turn off WiFi and open the Tmobile App it shows a problem and gives and option to fix it. clicking that resets a couple of things and it works as it should for awhile until I have to do it again. But I am thinking that the issue is a Tmobile one

You don't mention what carrier you are with. I am with Tmobile. I have had this happen a few times and can fix, at least for awhile, by opening the Tmobile App and hitting the Fix This button where it then resets a couple of things. As a result, at least in my case, I am thinking this is a Tmobile issue and not a Samsung one.

Mine are doing the same as the OP. They had issues right out of the box and are being shipped back. It seems as though there are several posts with similar issues. QC is maybe an issue with these

Are you using them in a warm environment? They will beep anytime they exceed about 90F. I find my left one is even lower than that, about 88F. I guess they don't want us to use them outside in the summer

It doesn't upset me at all. I was actually more annoyed that the buttons where moved to the right hand side after getting used to them being on the left. But I wouldn't say that upset me either. They were both a change that just required a little time to adjust to.

Wait until you try to trade in an older iPhone too. It's sad when Samsung will give me $120 more for my old iPhone than Apple will.

I assume your sound mode isn't set to Vibrate or Mute? Mine is currently set to Vibrate because frankly the constant tones from incoming notifications drive me nuts. But when jt is set to Vibrate or Mute you won't hear any of the samples either until you change the setting back to Sound. Even after the update mine continue to work if I have it set to sound. If I had a complaint, it is that I can't get the volume low enough on them.

I agree with Adaboy. I have seen reports that the Galaxy Buds Live are prone to overheating in direct sunlight and warm environments. User reports seem to indicate that this usually happens between 90-100F range. I was on a walk with mine yesterday and the left bud began to beep. I called Samsung support and they had no idea why, but I found the answer later doing a search and I can confirm that I recall seeing a temp of 92F on my phone when I went to open the app to see if I could find anything in settings. Hopefully the temperature threshold can be raised through a firmware update, because summer temperatures frequently exceed 90F in much of the world

Left Bud is constantly stuttering. Randomly dropping out and shutting off. Occasionally begins beeping. Ran all the updates, but it began acting up on the first use.

My left bud glitches. If drops in and out constantly, turns off repeatedly, sometimes starts beeping. Has to be put back in the box to reset. I have run all updates and have tried a factory reset, but no good.
