Samsung S20 disable vibrate on mistyped letter?
by jebus197- 3 followers

Hi I have gone through almost (I think) every setting I can find related to vibration/haptic feedback while typing on my Samsung S20. However despite my best efforts and having disabled everything I could find (including in G-Board settings (which is the keyboard I use)) ,the keyboard still vibrates/gives haptic feedback, particularly when my phone detects (I think) that maybe I mistyped a letter? This will often cause the keyboard to crash to desktop on the S20 - which is crazy annoying. Is there a setting somewhere that maybe I have missed that will let me disable this 'feature'? Haptic feedback is useful in some scenarios I guess. But mostly as I understand…

Huawei MediaPad M5 battery issue

For the past few days I've noticed some strange battery behaviour. When I charge it to 100% (that's what the screen shows), I unplug it, leave it be, don't use it at all, but my battery procent show 82%. I don't know how this is possible. Battery usage shows Google Play Store 8% and says it's running. The tablet is used for watching Youtube and a few games. Until now it's been great. Any idea what could be the issue?

Can not figure out how to take screenshots in Android 11

Prior to 11, all I had to do was long press on the power button, and there was an option for screenshot, but now in 11 that option is gone. According to a few sites that I found I am supposed to be able to press up on the screen and it will give me an option, but that doesn't work for me.

Hello friends First time user of Neowin forums. I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 with 64GB of memory. But I have a 256GB Micro SD-Card. I was wondering if anyone know how to use a portion of the Micro SD-Card (say 100GB) as Internal storage? Hence the GS9 will think it has 164GB of internal storage. I hope this can be done and look forward to all the Android guru's providing some assistance. Thanking everyone in advance.

My S20 hotspot only seems to let devices connect at 144mbps 5Ghz preferred. Is that some kind of limitation? I've tested with various devices and Google searches bring up no mention.

Anyone use a Samsung smartwatch and a phone with Android 11?
by jnelsoninjax- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
I have a Galaxy Watch Active 2, and since my phone updated to android 11, I have not been getting any notification on the watch, despite them being enabled. According to the app, it has been 5 days since my text app has sent notifications to the watch. I have reset the watch to factory defaults, and reinstalled the app on the phone, neither of which have done anything. I contacted Samsung support via Twitter and they wanted me to uninstall/reinstall the app on the phone, they also wanted me to try and pair the watch to a Samsung phone, which I do not have.

Q: Samsung phones and MS Your Phone app?

Hi, Looking into getting a new phone atm, and was hoping some Samsung phone users can answer my question. Q: How well does the 'app mirroring' feature works with your Samsung phone on the desktop? (I have seen this also work on a Dell laptop and the Dell Connect app, and is something that would be pretty useful to have.) So.. Anyone using this on their Samsung phone on a (semi) daily basis, and what are your thoughts on this. Thanks! rob p.s. For people who wonder about this, only Samsung phones are supported for this feature atm: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4551890/supported-devices-for-your-phone-experiences

Hi guys, Long story short, I needed to get a new contract and it came with the Samsung Galaxy S20+ (thanks to a friend). First off, it's great to be back on Android! I can't really explain why it feels better, but that's beside the point. Since it has been a while since I had an Android as my main device, I have a couple of questions and I'm wondering if anyone can help me answer them: I'm juggling with the idea of rooting the device. I've done it with previous devices so I'm not new to the idea of how to do it, but I do have to wonder about the benefits of doing so. For the moment I won't be going to install a custom ROM as the current OS is up …

Have been using Google's Product Sans for a while. Switched to Avenir LT Pro a few weeks back, which is nice. Saw a good looking font on the Samsung website - Maxi - which is okay wehn you don't use capital letters! Any others that are good for phones? I sort of think Google's Product Sans is it really. Nice, clear and works well in every application it needs to.

Problem restoring Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
by Steven P.- 1 reply
- 1.8k views
I know it is old, but I want to restore it and sell it for a few Euros rather than bin it. I put CyanogenOS 13 (based off Android 6.0.1) on it, but it keeps rebooting when I try to start certain apps, like YouTube for example was the last one, so I decided to download the official rom from SamFirm but when I go to flash the zip in TWRP (2.8.7.0) it fails saying that there is no MD5 found and "Error flashing zip". I downloaded the zip twice and let it decrypt, and I could see there is a md5 file inside the zip I transferred to the sdCard on the Tab. HELP!

Just tripped over this - and darn near face-faulted. It is (right now) one of the cheapest upgrades to a 5G-capable phone; it comes unlocked, and it does NOT cost $500 - despite it being from (of all folks) Samsung. It's the Samsung S20 5G (upgrade from a working Galaxy S7) for $489USD from Samsung.com's Samsung Unlocked group. Why I qualify - I went sideways from the S7 to my Pixel 3a last year; I have kept the S7 up; it still works fine, and is my 3a's backup. The SIM issue - What issue? The S7 I left, the Pixel 3a, and the S20 5G take the same-size SIM. Further, I use T-Mobile's towers (which means I can use T-Mobile's mmWave 5G - which said …

I really liked my Moto X4, but recently it has been acting really odd and I can not figure out what the root cause of the issue is, I have done a factory reset and the issues still persist, so I am looking at upgrading to a different phone and am considering a Pixel, my BIL and niece both have Pixels and have not had any real issues with them. Any other suggestions for phones would be welcomed.

Honor Magic 3

I have already received an update to Magic 3.0 on my Honor View 20. I haven't noticed much difference yet except for one very annoying missing feature. I had been using the Microsoft Launcher and would prefer to continue using it but the new system software does not allow one to change the default launcher. Honor are unable to explain why this feature is missing or if it going to be enabled in a future update.

In 2018 a Samsung moderator said this was being planned, a month ago the same moderator said it is still under development. I don't know about you but I don't want to buy a €70 cradle just to be able to play around with my phone on the desktop, for now I will stick with Your Phone and wired DeX heheh.
