I'll try it in a few days (when keeping my phone alive isn't mission critical) and report back the subjective results. If nothing else, it'll be anecdotal evidence.

Well that's tragic... Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I use a third party music app because I don't like the UI of the Samsung Music app so lack of experience hinders me, but I love 80's music too, I was born in 1980.

What feature/option did you expect it to have? The QR code may only contain a link. If that's all that's available than what else do you expect the app to be able to do with it? (Sincerely asking) QR codes just hold text and control codes up to 7,089 characters... that doesn't mean the person who created the QR code used all the available storage nor that they included any control codes... also if they did use control codes, they may be typed in with a typo, they my be incompatible with your specific device (ie meant for a laptop and not a phone... you can't open the CD tray on a phone for example) or they may be control codes that are blocked by your security settings or not available on your device because Samsung decided not to support that specific function for security purposes. If you reply as to what specific function your looking for I may be able to help narrow it down for you.

Yes, they need to maintain a constant line of heavy duty phones with hardware navigation buttons (back, home, multitask) (Navigation meaning navigating your phone... I didn't make it up that's the actual term for those buttons... it doesn't mean maps or anything like that.) But YES, your right we need a line of phones with these features... a continuous line no laps ... I can't have it break and not have an option to buy another one nor have an equivalent phone available ... if it came to that I'd seek my needs with another phone manufacturer.

Yes, I have both these same issues on the Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro. I've never been a big camera user but the adaptive screen brightness has been extremely handy on all my previous phones (non-Samsung, this is my first Samsung but as a Linux dev I was an early adopter of Android so it's a long history of adaptive screen brightness being extremely handy for me) This is the first phone I turned it off and forever kept it off because of how fast it kills my battery... So bump to this thread.

Heads Up: This reply is purely based in educated speculation. While as an Electrical Engineer, I can tell you that wireless charging will always be inefficient specifically between the wall outlet and the power company (*or but not necessarily* between the charger and the phone). However I believe the main reason is because the xCover Pro is a business phone marketed towards businesses not individuals. You even have to call Samsung Business support to get support for this phone as they are not supposed to help you on the consumer customer service line (though sometimes they still will) Wireless charging doesn't make sense for a business... or at least I think that's Samsung's thinking ... I think they are wrong, some businesses would benefit from it. All that being said, as a person who uses it as a personal phone (not for business) I would like to have seen wireless charging on this model. My mom owns a small business (antique shop) and also has the xCover Pro and her business would benefit from that convenience as well. She's 60+ (in age) and runns around her shop a lot using her phone to help customers (scanning tags and what not) and she also players the store music on her phone ... she ends up plugging and unplugging her phone something like 30 times a day... a wireless charging pad by her cash register would do wonders for her. So this is why I think that *IF* I'm right that Samsung thought that wireless charging would not make sense for business, than they're wrong. I believe that Samsung believes wireless charging wouldn't make sense for businesses because it would make the phone cost more for a feature most business wouldn't find all that valuable... the problem with that logic is that thinking is more geared towards Enterprises and large businesses however I believe this phone is far more popular with small to medium-sized businesses. @userf6y49KlI8n... hint, hint, your messaging up, you should re-think that or market your phone such that it's bought more by the bigger businesses. Just say'n.

I cannot release quick enough because my hands simply aren't that fast so I use a third party screenshot app. It is not fast because of all the steps it takes to make it available but it's faster than (still fewer steps than) using the Samsung screen capture app that comes with the xCover Pro to take a screenshot... Hope this helps someone
