    Help Note 8 - no audio when connecting phone to TV via HDMI cable

    Thanks. I'll think about it. I don't live in the US so unfortuantely can't make use of the phenomenal deals you guys get on tech. The latest Chromecast is around $55 here. I see a lot of "3rd Gen" ones listed that are much more affordable - could I go fr one of these?

    Help Note 8 - no audio when connecting phone to TV via HDMI cable

    I bought the correct Samsung-branded USB-C to HDMI cable in order to mirror my phone screen and audio on the TV at my AirBnB while on holiday. I used this successfully on both my Galaxy Note 10 and my Galaxy Note 8 - audio and video both worked. That TV was a Smart TV, but not a Samsung. Now I'm...

    Galaxy Note 10 - can't get VOLTE to work

    @Dannydet: First you say, "Uh, yeah we already told you it's a bad Sim card" and now it's, "I think you've discombobulated your device network settings altogether and that may be the reason for your issues." I appreciate that you're trying to help, but you seemed so certain earlier it was a bad...

    Galaxy Note 10 - can't get VOLTE to work

    The handset is not carrier-locked - I bought it on amazon and have subsequently used it with local sim cards at home in South Africa, in Turkey, in Qatar, in Pakistan, in India, in the UK and in Spain. (By the way, it's been illegal for many years in South Arica to carrier-lock a phone) From my...

    Galaxy Note 10 - can't get VOLTE to work

    It doesn't let me do a scan - the Network Operators option is greyed out. Also, I've been in lots of different places across different states (Texas, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Maine) - I couldn't possibly have been in blackspots all over, including on the road in between places!

    Galaxy Note 10 - can't get VOLTE to work

    Hi Hadron, thanks for your reply. I have 4G LTE service, but no signal bars. I have that symbol that looks like a no entry sign (see attached screenshot). When I try to make a call, I get the message "Mobile network not available". I cannot receive or make calls or texts. Unfortunately I don't...

    App requires Android 10 & up

    I need to load an App that requires Android 10 and up. My Galaxy Note 8 is running Android 9, and from what I can tell via a Google search, is not upgradeable to Android 10. Are there any solutions for my situation? Thanks.

    No internet access on laptop via Hotspot or Tethering

    When I activate the Wifi Hotspot on my Note 4, and connect to it on my laptop using the password that my phone gives me, it connects to the phone, but either shows "No Internet Access", or it shows "Internet Access" but it won't reach any websites, my mail package won't fetch mail, etc. I have...

    "Unforunately, Bluetooth Share has stopped"

    This problem has been plaguing me for ages. Though sometimes I don't get the error when I turn on Bluetooth, other times I get it constantly. I've googled it and the best solution seems to be cleaning out the contents of the file bt_config.xml, which resides in {root}/datamedia/misc/bluedroid...

    Buy in the USA for use worldwide?

    I travel a lot and always buy a local prepaid sim card wherever I go, to pop into my Galaxy Note 2. I've never had a problem. I'm now looking to upgrade to the Note 4, since I am currently in the USA and it's cheapest here. There are various versions available on Amazon - 910C, 910A, etc. I...

    Can you copy and paste using the keyboard?

    Hi all I'm considering moving to an Android phone from Blackberry, but one thing I really like with my ancient Blackberry is that you can hold down the shift key on the keyboard, and use the scroll-wheel to select text. Then press the scroll-wheel and you get a menu that offers you options that...
