    Your Phone Companion 27+ % battery usage

    Over the last few days my Note10+ has been discharging at nearl double the rate as normal. Looking at the battery stats I see it is Your Phone Companion at a huge percentage of my battery usage, more than I have seen any other app: Is anyone else experiencing this huge drain? I'd like to ask...

    Help Text to speech uses US accent regardless of selection

    I have tasker actions to generate text based alerts using com.google.android.tts:eng-gbr This worked fine on my Note 3, 4 and 8. On the 10 it uses a US accent regardless he first time it is played and then the correct voice afterwards, unless left idle for a time, (20 minutes is the smallest I...

    Had I been Hexed?

    It as been a struggle to tune my Note 10+ to the way I like my phones and one of the preferences is a universally dark (preferably black) theme. I used Substratum on my previous, rooted, phones. Hex was a godsend and didn't seem to need nearly the babysitting that Substratum did with constant...

    What's with the aggressive, ignorant of time, alarm voice on the Note 10?

    On the 8 there was an opt in only option to read the time. when the alarm sounded. You could not choose a voice localle, it was always the annoying American voice but at least it would say "Six Thirty" or "Seven Fifrty Five" On the 10 It is the default and pipes up, louder than ever "IT IS...

    Fingerprint unlock occasionaly vanishes

    A slightly odd one here. On my Note 8 the iris unlock would be invalidated and a pin needed if the phone had not been unlocked for a certain time. On the 10 the on screen finger sensor goes away on occacsion so I need to use the pin and I cannot track down why. Sometimes it had been less than...

    Accessories My Note 10 Dock

    Just thought I would post my note 10 dock to the PC for Dex mode: OK, so I can still not link images. They just do not work. What is going on here? I even tried it in BBCode mode and typing acording to syntax and it just reduces to the opening (IMG) tag and nothing else. Finally found the...

    S Pen lightsaber sound revisited (Tasker)

    OK, so there have been many posts around this over time but setting up my 10+ I have revisited it. There is no longer any need for NoteBuddy or any 3rd party app. They always played via the media stream so would not work on silent mode anyway hence my need for a Tasker task that used the app...

    Launcher suggestions

    I have used Next Launcher for years (Go Launcher back on the Note 1 Days). The Note 8 warned that it was designed for older Android but it still ran. Note 10+ No. The icons wont align on the homescreen along with a host of other issues. I switched to Nova. The problem is it will not let me...

    Reorder items in SPen Launcher

    So.. I am sure I have done this in the past but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to re-organise the items in the S-Pen launcher wheel. You know, the one that pops up by default when you take out the pen and we all turn off untul the side button is pressed. I can add new items and...

    Change alarm duration

    On my notes 1-4 the alarm duration was 1 minute. On the 8 it is 5 minutes. Does anyone know how to change this? I have root but really don't want it to be a recopmpile of the clock app. They keep messing with that so badly, replacing all the tones and various other things. At least alarms are...

    Prevent screen turning on during call

    I carry my note 8 in my shirt pocket and have bluetooth headphones. Ideally this means I can answer the phone from the headphones without taking the phone out of my pocket. In reality the phone screen turns on. Even if I take the phone out of my pocket and turn the screen off it turns on when...

    Help VPN functionality on custom ROM

    OK, the question before the rant. I have been forced to flash my own ROM so I decided to try a custom one and ended up going for Sungsonic, which I quite like. Unfortunately I used to use Sonicwall Mobile Connect to connect to our Firewall VPN for remoting in to the office. Now when I try to...

    Help S-pen bends at screen edges

    This is a somewhat strange issue. I have never had a case with a magnetic lock, known to do odd things. When I draw diagonal lines across the screen from edge to edge the line bumps and changes angle towards each edge. There is no change for vertical or horizontal lines and the issue does not...
