Try searching on APKMirror dot com. That's a safe place to get apps for sideloading.

Have you looked in Settings > Notifications then More under Recently sent? From there you should be able to see what's sending notifications.

Although I don't see a link that you typed you did shed some light on the subject. In the past I was used to using so 3rd party QR app which functioned a bit different with scan result handling. I did manage to get a "Web" option after using the built-in Samsung QR scanner. I scanned dozens of QR codes on this device and finally got one with the web result. Thanks.

I'll try that was well. I've tried scanning numerous items not just the one pictured. Even QR codes that specifically say it's a link to a Play Store app and to websites. They all only allow my to copy to Notes. Again I'll try what you suggest and report back.

I turned that off too but still get the same result. Note is the only thing out allows me to do. SMH

If what Bakersman1976 suggested didn't fix it then try this. Power off you device. Power it on by pressing and holding Volume Up & Power buttons. Phone will boot into recovery mode. Carefully select "wipe cashe" (vol up & down moves the cursor. Power is like Enter on your keyboard). After cashe wipe completes, scroll down to "Fix apps" and then execute it. Phone will reboot and the going into "optimizing app" then you're back to your lock screen. You won't lose any needed data. Hope that helps.

Looks like it took an impact which damaged the screen. I've only ever seen that fixed by sending it for repairs. Do you have insurance? They'll just replace it for the cost of your deductible.

I have the SD version device. I did notice the first day I had the phone that everything seemed rather slowish. After a day or 2 of usage, power on/off cycles and app installs it greatly improved. My 5G was even super slow the first day. All is well now so hopefully yours will settle in nicely if it hasn't already.

I cannot get the built in camera QR scanner to open up scanned results to the web. The only option it gives me is "Note." Which copies the scanned results to Samsung Notes app. How do I get the scanner to upon scan results in a browser? I have Samsung Internet QR Scanner option ticked on. I really don't want to install yet another app especially since this device should be able to handle such a simple task.

Misunderstanding on my part. My apologies. That is strange that you are having that issue on your S21U. Is this issue happening in a particular app or so the time?

How did you "lock" it at 120? My screen doesn't jump or flicker. It's the smoothest I've ever seen on any Android I've ever owned. However, some games will not go beyond 60. It still remains smooth but I'd like the full 120 all the time. I know the throttling management kicks in as things heat up. Plus some apps are not optimized for our new devices yet. I do take that into consideration as well.

I noticed that behavior too. I found that when I mark events as completed they vanish months later. I'm using Jorte calendar app synced to my Google calendar (not installed on device). This missing events later become labeled with "[C]" in the event title. Somehow that clears them from my device calendar app which syncs back and forth with the Google calendar rendering it missing on my device.

Try connecting to a PC and performing the moves from the PC. I had a few files that wouldn't move too. Worse case, you might have to change permissions of those files on the PC.

Congrats on the new device. I think all new devices seem a bit slow at first. It's new on your carriers network. All the new apps you've installed go through their background processes. The entire OS (operating system) is going through tons of processes to sort out max performance operation and overall cohesiveness. I've had my S21U for 2 weeks now. It's blazing fast. Day one the fingerprint unlock felt slower then my Note 10+. Some app launches felt slower. Now, everything is on :rocket: mode. Give it a few day to "break in." It's like a new high performance engine. You have to take it easy the first 500-1000 miles so everything can sync and marry together. Then it's ready to fly.

I considered the Stove Guard for my nx58h5600ss. I said I'll pass on getting it. It still needs to be cleaned. I'd rather just clean the actual range top and it looks better too. I've read people having issues with burning to as well. Maybe because I'm not frying foods often so I don't have much splatter. When I do cook on it I clean it the same day. 2 years and still looking brand new.

Obviously I didn't but thanks. 8) One could still gripe that it's misleading. They market it as 5k then a disclaimer after you've purchase the phone (not everyone can go to a store to get a hands on before purchasing). But it's like any other major corp. All car manufacturers give you horsepower at the crank but that doesn't factor in drivetrain loss which equals wheel HP. I digress. Again thanks for straightening me out.

Makes sense. Kind of like installed and usable memory. I was hoping that was the case and not paying the Ultra price for a Plus battery. :face_with_tears_of_joy:

So the battery capacity for the S21 series devices are we follows: S21 = 4000mAh S21+ = 4800mAh S21U = 5000mAh My S21U says it has a 4855mAh capacity. So did Samsung round up for marketing purposes of did my device get mistakenly built with the incorrect battery? Can anyone else verify the battery capacity of their S21U?

Hey. Have you tried rebooting into recovery and then do a cashe wipe? The repair apps option won't hurt as well while your in recovery. Then boot up and try to update. Is the OTA update showing up in your devices software update menu and still failing too? Is it an Exynos device that's rooted with modified system files? If so you'll need to either factory reset the device or flash specific files from Odin onto your device.

I have a Note 8 that had the same issue one updated to Android 9.0. Don't factory reset! That's way too extreme for a simple dimming bug. Follow these steps in the link below. It worked for me. https://www.smartphonetics.com/samsung/calibrate-auto-brightness-on-samsung-galaxy-s8-and-galaxy-s8-plus/ Credit goes to @Gumby78 for posting in another thread.
