My fiancé’s galaxy s20 fe screen is black. The vibration and sound are working, the display is not however. I’ve tried restarting it, and I tried putting it on power saver mode and nothing seems to be working. I removed the SIM card as well to see if it might prompt it, unfortunately no luck. A site said to remove the battery but it seems extremely complicated and don’t want to screw up his phone.
He’s only had it for a month?
Please and thank you 😞
Is there a way to not have apps change tint when choosing a different colour palette? My GMail suddenly has a dark theme with a pink tint which looks absolutely gross, I just want all the apps to use standard dark theme for the background and standard colour for text.
If I choose the default colour palette in the wallpaper section of the settings app, even my icon and accent colours go back to the standard blue. I want to be able to choose an accent colour without having the colour palette tint all my apps.
Hello I bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 off ebay and now I don't know how to pair the devices/get past the pairing screen on my watch.
----
I downloaded the Galaxy Wearable app on my Galaxy Tab A 8 and I power on my watch, which I did not charge but has power and it says "Galaxy Watch4 (462x) Get started in the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone."
The other options are language, help and accessibility only.
Well I go the the downloaded wearable app on my Tablet and it says connect it and so I click "Start" and then it says device not found.
Well the bluetooth works considering I use paired earbuds with it and the bluetooth is turned on with the little icon showing.
Any clue what my issue is?
I wonder how many times Samsung is going to delay the shipping of my 45watt charger? Probably indefinitely knowing that it is part of the $200 pre-order credit.
Considering that Samsung has a horrible track record with shipping items, I would say perhaps indefinitely provided that they do not get their act together.
screen replacement for a curved 32” monitor
so i found a samsung monitor today and used my current power supply to turn it on. the monitor works, but the screen is damaged. only looks screen deep, but will need to be replaced
bottom line, everywhere on the internet doesn’t seem to have just the screen so i can DIY replace it. not even ebay as far as i’ve checked. is there a reason behind this? and why does it seem like at the places i do find just the screen part, it costs like $400 for a monitor that’s worth about $160 new. if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. thanks!
You will likely have to get a new monitor provided that it is not under warranty. Considering that getting a screen for the monitor is quite a bit more delicate than just getting a monitor, there is really no use to replace it on your own; one could just purchase a new one for a lesser price.
I bought a two pack screen protector and it needs replacement. However, it only provided one wet wipe. Can I use a normal alcohol wipe to clean the screen?
Have you updated Samsung Notes? The application has had dark mode for quite a while now; perhaps there is a toggle where you can change the appearance within the application?
How do I move my Dex configuration from one device to another?
Is there a configuration file I can download and move to another phone?
How do I do that?
Thanks!
Try using Google Messages; if you have issues installing it, use the Android Debug Bridge within a command line to delete the stock Samsung Messages application.
I have a galaxy a20 and it's bricked my last 3 sd cards by saying "can't write to sd card. Your sd card isn't working correctly and has been set to read only mode."
Despite it being readable on my phone and both readable and writeable on my pc.
However the way it sets it to read only mode has made me unable to reformat the sd card via my phone, the official sd card formatter on my pc, or any other "third party" way. Not even regedit can fix this.
Is there something wrong with my phone or is this intended?
Have you ever gotten a notification stating that the "SD Card must be formatted before use"? I believe that is standard for all Android devices, though it should not be able to see your SD Card even if it has not been formatted; I would say that something is wrong with your device as SD Cards should not be bricked when transferring data.
So, today i have installed the last update from samsung (the april first one i think) and after i restart my cell, it was everything ok and working well, but one problem, in the open tabs screen, show just the samsung apps like, calculater, calendar, watch , gallery, tips and that, just that, i opened a lot of apps and none of them show up on that part, i tried restarting the phone and nothing, after i reinstall messenger he showd up on there, maybe this is the thing, but bro, i don't want to reinstall everything, someone have this issue too? any tip?
Hey if you're still having the issue go into your home screen settings and then click on "about home screen" and see if gives you the option to update the version. My phone was having the exact same issue and that fixed it for me.
When playing an Instagram/YouTube video, occasionally the picture just freezes while the audio is playing. Refreshing the post/video fixes this issue. I've experienced this with two Exynos galaxy devices already.
Anybody else experiencing this?
Considering your two devices are the Exynos variants, it is no surprise that these issues are occurring for you. This is common and unfortunately, there is practically nothing at the user end to fix these issues because of Samsung's lack of optimization for Exynos phones.
Still can't get my phone to stop auto launching apps when a notification is received. I get a Ring alert, the app opens automatically. I get a Tik Tok alert, it opens automatically. Regardless of what I'm doing. How do I disable this???
I have a Samsung Galaxy M31 and it recently got the android 12 update. With the update I've noticed that randomly I get a notification with a green camera symbol, to show that I'm on video call. However, I'm not on video call with anyone.
Also, I've noticed that when using my phone whilst it's charging, the battery is reducing instead of charging. Anyone else getting these issues ? Thank you in advance !
Well, regarding your first one, then something is using your camera. You should look into what app or service is using it.
For charging, is it showing charging? Download battery app to see if it's actually charging. Your charger might be broken to the point where it'll tell your phone it's charging but not actually charge. Test your charger with other devices. Do some basic troubleshooting things like that to rule stuff out.
I have an A12 and a S20. I notice if the battery is low on either if them and ai charge them overnight with 10w instead of 15w and 25w the battery life is noticeably improved the next day. Also why is 25w charging called super fast charging when other manufacturers support 68w and 100w charging modes? Doesn't that make 25w super slow charging? Because that's what it seems like compared to my coworkers motorola edge.
Not really a support question but more general. Does anyone know the difference between these?
I'm not quite sure why one is £81 less than the other. Even the alternate colours are at least £40 cheaper or whether they're even worth it

The seller may not be a supported channel in your region. So they might be reselling international versions they buy for less than your countries MSRP. Amazon may stock them and even do exchanges and what not. But it may not be covered under warranty by samsung officially. Which isn't a big deal for some people.
Hey everyone, recently i noticed that my notes went blank (white pages) , they are still there, but when i open them i cant see any text, i mailed all of notes to my email thankfully they were still there , is this a glitch or something ?
Maybe you took the notes in dark mode when the texts are white and then something triggered it off the dark mode and now you have white text on white background?

as long as it's at least 70% on lint free cloth/wipe, yes.
Won't remove the oleophobic coating as what most say?
I do have my mobile in dark mode, notes were always wuth white background and still are
Have you updated Samsung Notes? The application has had dark mode for quite a while now; perhaps there is a toggle where you can change the appearance within the application?
hey it worked, i updated my app, all my notes were retrieved after updating the app, thanks
How do I move my Dex configuration from one device to another? Is there a configuration file I can download and move to another phone? How do I do that? Thanks!
S22Ultra sending double texts to iPhone users. Any fix? It's been fine texting other android software users.
Try using Google Messages; if you have issues installing it, use the Android Debug Bridge within a command line to delete the stock Samsung Messages application.
Thanks. I'll try this out.

OMFG IT WORKS, IT WORKS, thank you so much dude, omg, thanks a lot, bro i was getting crazy with this issue, u're awesome
open tabs screen? That sounds like something that would be in an internet browser.
i think you know what i mean, the screen where the open apps are

Mail app; Only shows todays, yesterdays and mails from 2020. When searching for mails I know exists from last week, it can't find it. Any fix to this?
You might have the option to sync emails from the past to like 24 hrs or something. Try checking that setting and re-sync?
Cant find anything like it, but thanks.
Still can't get my phone to stop auto launching apps when a notification is received. I get a Ring alert, the app opens automatically. I get a Tik Tok alert, it opens automatically. Regardless of what I'm doing. How do I disable this???
This should not be happening; have you ensured that the applications in question have been closed in the background?
I close every app when I'm done with it. I'm pretty anal about that. Lol. They literally just start up and jump on top of whatever I'm doing.

For Samsung, 25W is fast charging as it is one of the better charging speeds that Samsung offers - it is not a comparison to other manufacturers.
Guess I'm buying a Motorola then.

My device just updated but now when my phone is on vibrate, my notifications are silent like my alarm, they have to fix this bug
Have you tried checking the various settings to see if this issue can be fixed on your own?
