    The Tale of the Poop-Phone (or: "Why I switched to Samsung")

    Posted: 21 May 2021 09:48 AM PDT

    Several years back, a friend and I took a graduation trip across Japan, taking the bullet train from place to place with a Japan-rail pass. Just as we were on our way to Tokyo, our final destination, disaster struck.

    We were quite drunk, though in a good mood and well-behaved, when he turned to me and said "I can't find my phone. Anywhere." His Galaxy S10 not only contained all of his digital accounts, including reservation info, but was wrapped in a leather case containing all of his credit cards.

    He last used it in the bathroom (as one does), and was insistent that the "youth" with the bleached-blond gel-spiked hair and baggy punk clothes who went in after him must have stolen it after he left it there. I explained that this was almost certainly a college student rather than a gang member, but he was insistent.

    Several lost-item reports and many days later, he gets a call. While dredging the on-board chemical toilet, the Japanese rail company had found his phone 500km away in another state, where that train apparently ended up. Rather than an shifty youths, it seems that gravity had moved it into the toilet after he left it on nearby ledge in the bumpy train. We had no hopes for his phone, but the credit cards were important, so he went on a four hour journey to retrieve it.

    That S10 had survived several days soaking in the solvents of a chemical toilet, and he used it, after a good clean, for months afterwards. He claimed to have replaced the leather case, but I know this to be a lie.

    When I bought my next phone, I knew that Samsung water-proofing was on-point. My phone has never fallen in a toilet, but I use it to play music in the shower without fear, and I have no regrets switching from Apple. His phone was named "The Poop-Phone" and will never be forgotten.

    Why I can't get the new Samsung Notes version on my new Samsung Galaxy A12 phone? (Please read below because there are important details)

    Posted: 22 May 2021 01:09 AM PDT

    So, here's the situation: I had a Samsung Galaxy A10 phone updated with Android 10 and One UI 2.0, I got the new better versions of all integrated apps and the newer Samsung Notes version with the different UI and stuff. I recently got myself a Samsung Galaxy A12 (which came with Android 10 and One UI Core 2.5 already) and.. Samsung Notes has the old version.. I tried searching for system udpates, I tried searching for updates on Samsung Store for Samsung Notes and it says I'm up to date, I updated everything already. But the Samsung Notes is still in the old version to say like that.. Why I can't get the new version with the new UI? I am still stuck with Samsung Notes saying "it's up to date" while it still is the old stuff... Please help me! I tried updating or searching for updates, I tried restarting my phone and then force stopping some things, I tried so many things and I'm still stuck with the old version..

    Samsung s21 for 777$ worth it?

    Posted: 22 May 2021 03:29 AM PDT

    I have been wanting to uppgrade my S10e for a bit now, mostly because It has a cracked screen and I do not wanna pay around 200$ for a replacement. Is it worth it? 777$ seems like a good price mostly because here in sweden it normally costs around 1000$. It is the exynos 2100 version.

    Any way to transfer files wirelessly from S21 Ultra to my Mac?

    Posted: 21 May 2021 07:03 PM PDT

    Title basically. I've been using a cable between my phone to computer and wondering if there's a different way using tech already built in; I'm sure there's an app that can do this but is there something that already exists within the phone?

    Is it time to put my Samsung S5 down?

    Posted: 21 May 2021 12:49 PM PDT

    I've had it since October 2014 and it's in near mint condition. I've just become aware however, that it doesn't get security updates anymore. I'm not sure how big of a deal this is, or if it's cause for concern, but I'm also noticing certain apps simply aren't available. Is there a way to install a new operating system on the phone or updating to a different one? Like save everything to a portable hard drive and wipe the entire thing out? Are there any options to continue using this hardware, basically, I guess is what I'm asking? Seems like a pity to have to get rid of it, as like I said, it's in perfect condition.

    Just bought a new Tab S7+ with Keyboard and saved $828!

    Posted: 21 May 2021 12:42 PM PDT

    I bought a new Tab s7+. I saved $500 for trading in an old Tab S6, which I bought from eBay for half that, saved another $100 for being a Samsung Money member, another $50 off the tab for bundling, and got the keyboard for half price, and then got about $150 for promotional deals. I paid a few dollars under $350. Plus the $250 I paid for the used Tab S6, I only about paid $600, which is almost half the subtotal!

    Is anyone else having trouble with their galaxy s21 over heating?

    Posted: 21 May 2021 05:48 PM PDT

    I got this phone a few months ago in winter. Now it's 90 degrees outside and the last few days I've been getting notifications that my phone is over heating and I can only use 1 app at a time.

    I have a clear plastic case that's been on it this since I've gotten it. Just wanting to see if this is common. A simple yes or no will do. If you have suggesting or wanna talk smack I'm open for both. Thanks for your time

    Why is my tv turning on by itself in the middle of the night?

    Posted: 21 May 2021 11:20 AM PDT

    TV: UN50NU6950

    Software: T-KTSUAKUC 1300.4

    Connected Soundbar: 320W 2.1 Ch Soundbar HW-M450

    Dish Network box

    Hello r/Samsung!

    I have two odd things occurring. Recently the TV has started turning itself on in the middle of the night with no interaction. Its waking us up (which is disorienting and kinda scary).

    The second thing is that we have had to cover the display of the sound bar because error messages are appearing on the display throughout the day and night.

    Has anyone seen this activity and any ideas on cause and how to stop? One thing I have noticed is that the Dish Network box is lighting up and flashing a lot in the middle of the night also. I had seen this happen repeatedly but it had never caused the tv to turn on.

    Your help and ideas are appreciated.
