what browser are you using? maybe try a different browser.

I did. I also cleared the cache, followed some instructions on settings, and even un-installed and reinstalled the program to some avail. It's just not consistent. But I tried just about every googled suggestion that made sense.

On my Pixel if I click to view a PDF it automatically downloads it and displays it. I can then find the PDF in Files>Downloads and delete it if I want too. Here's a pic

That's similar that what I'm trying to avoid. Sometimes I just like to open the PDF and move on. Now that it sometimes makes me d/l the PDF, I have to go in and delete it. I had TONS of old PDF's cluttering up my old phone. I just recently gave it a good cleaning before transferring everything to the S24U. Now I find myself cleaning again. Yeah, I could just ignore it, but had hoped for a fix if someone had found something that would fix that error message.

How are people figuring out that their S Pens smell "burnt and funky"? Are you people picking your nose with it? If so, you're putting it in the wrong silo!
:oops:

Galaxy S24 Ultra users shocked to find their S Pen smells burnt and funky

Samsung says the Galaxy S24 Ultra's S Pen smells charred because of the heat from the phone's internal components.

Yayyy Samsung is making Bixby even better for the 4 people who actually use it!

Samsung's Bixby To Get Generative AI Upgrade

South Korean tech giant Samsung is planning to significantly upgrade its Bixby voice assistant with artificial intelligence (AI) software, according to Executive Vice President Won-Joon Choi in a recent interview with CNBC.

Add my name to the list. Bixby does a TON of things Google Assistant can't. I used to love S-Voice too, but everyone preferred Google Now for some reason. Google Now couldn't even toggle Wifi on/off or set an alarm!

Remember Wear OS 2.x? I felt sorry for the many who couldn't even use Google Assistant on their watches because it failed so much with 'that didn't work' or 'sad cloud icon' while Bixby worked flawlessly on my Galaxy Watch.

Never understood the hate for Bixby. It works fine. I am not sure if Galaxy AI is for the camera only or a new voice assistant.

I've never used Bixby, and it's installed on my phone.

Just curious if anyone can see this post. I even struggle to find it sometimes.

Help - Tech Support & Things That Make You Go Hmmmm...

I hope this is the right topic area. Mods, help me out and please move it to the correct one if it is not. I thought I’d start this thread for those who may have had issues with their S24 Ultra and wanted to share fixes, or verification of an issue. Here are some issues that I have had so far...

I've seen it. I'm in need of an upgrade and tend to scan the posts with newer phones. If you need to frequently visit that post you should bookmark it

I tried but was unable to. Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't sure that it even posted. I've had to hit the "post" button a couple of times to get some of my posts to go through. Wasn't sure if it was my phone or not because I didn't see any replies. Thanks again.

The May update AXD3 is live!

Duckster · May 16, 2024

And... My S22 Ultra backup/game phone was updated with AI features just like the S24 Ultra.

News is that the Galaxy S25 series will have SoC chipsets based on the 3nm process. Even the upcoming Exynos 2500 is rumored to be more efficient than the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

Not only that, but Samsung fans won't have to wait until next year to get that processor: the Galaxy Watch 7 is expected to be released in a couple of months, and it will have the 3nm processor!

I'm ceaselessly astonished by how many transistors they can pack onto a tiny slice of silicon. If this keeps up, in 5 years we'll have molecular transistors... and the only way Moore's Law will stand is to switch to quantum processors.

Well, ol' Grumpy has finally decided to upgrade today. Just placed my order in for an S24+. Have no need for the S pen.
It was between a Pixel 8 or the Samsung and the extra memory on the S24+ won out.

I'm hoping I made the right choice.
Haven't had a Samsung since my old S5, which I dearly loved.

Welcome to the club. Were you able to take advantage of any trade-ins? I think you'll like the S24+.

PitCarver · May 20, 2024

I chose not to trade in my old one so I'm paying for it monthly.
I'm looking forward to getting to know it. I'm already checking out YouTube vids.

olbriar · May 20, 2024

Samsung has it together with the latest S series phones. I'm still using the S21 and would love to step up to the S24 but I can't make myself retire the 21. Such a solid dependable phone!! Have fun @PitCarver!

PitCarver · May 22, 2024

Well, the new phone showed up this afternoon. While I have opened the box, it's still inside while I back up the old LG, which gets me to a question. When I transfer things to the Samsung how does the things that are on the old MSD card get transferred to the Samsung storage?
I've always been a fan of using the MSD cards to store ebooks and the like on them.

PitCarver · May 23, 2024

Found out that the Samsung Smart Switch app was able to transfer everything that I needed. Individual apps that I had saved to drive were successfully imported. I'm now getting all the small stuff sorted out,

Mine transfered everything over, and put my SD drive in a directory that I had to later go in and "re-direct" to get things where I wanted them. It took a while, but it was manageable. How are you liking your new phone so far? I still have my S22 Ultra as a game device and backup. Did your S21 get upgraded to AI?

PitCarver · May 23, 2024

None of the music that I had on the MSD card was transferred. I figure that I can add that later. After messing with it trying to get the initial setup, last night the Smart Switch happened to be the quickest.

Ui went through 3 or 4 updates this morning. I'm not quite sure what all was done.

I've still got the weekend to tweak it to my liking. I'm still trying to get one bubble out of my screen protector. Spent good money on Zagg and I'm not ready impressed.

Duckster · May 23, 2024

I think I had to use Smart Switch 2 or 3 times before it moved everything. I even had a few program apps that were not compatible. They transfered, but we're grayed out.

I think Zagg has a lifetime warranty, so be sure to activate it using the Barcode on the box. My Verizon reps said that most just throw the box away (I probably would have), but it's initially needed for the warranty.

PitCarver · May 25, 2024

Í finally got the bubble down. Took a while but I did it. As for keeping boxes and the sort, I keep EVERYTHING. Never know when they'll come in handy.

Got a question, now...
I can't get the site, accessed from Google, to get placed on the home screen. The option simp isn't there. Any ideas?

PitCarver · May 25, 2024

There was an option to download app, I hit that and got the EBC app.
No issues with another app, but I never had it on my LG.
IDK. If anyone has another option, let me know.
