[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ted Harris:
I think it maybe BlueBorne but my note 9 was stuck on the August security patch. Ok from the beginning I bought the phone in December waited and waited and I didn't get any updates to the phone so from December to late February I was still on August security patch bear in mine I try almost every day to manually update my the uses of setting and nothing work so I take the phone back to the store I bought it from and there give a BS story about Samsung and update it to the January security patch as I ask so I know the phone can be updated, after I got back the phone I say to myself being that the phone is an unlock phone I did my research and look for a open market that had the pie update so I did a clean wipe one with the phone and one in the recovery before I use Odin to install pie but I hanging over my head that here may be somehow there got back in after the pie update cause I know for sure for December to when I wipe the phone myself all my info was be pull from my phone , picture, video, important data, and as I said the camera being use but the app is not open put this way, if my phone was a computer and you was in the next room using screen mirror and just watch what I doing on my phone plus the ability to use file at will or even download them.

For one the person like to have conversation about what is on my phone plus at time if my phone is connected to bluetooth you can hear there voice through the speakers.

Dude chill i'm messing with you! So your hearing voices when BT is connected via car audio! What kind of car do you own ? And what what kind of bluetooth antenna is installed in your car? Also note it sounds like your got interference.. You have not been hacked or being spied on! From what your telling us this is common issue!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ted Harris:
It a pioneer car radio and I know of the interference you are talking about I had a Microsoft zune and that use to pick up all two way radio signals that mean if I am walking down the road and a truck pass i can hear the two way road. But what I am talking about is that the voices I am hearing are voices of persons I know I should had started with that i the bluetooth audio because you will be able to hear them better that way cause the volume is louder that the speaker on the phone and if it quite you can hear them also. Even tracking my data if I call my phone company and ask about my data for the month it doesn't match back to the Samsung data tracker nor glasswire data tracker. Trust me I not going off but if people are doing doing for year you get to pick up on little thing your phone is doing that you yourself is not doing to the phone.

You can still add you input besides that picture
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ciaox:
I personally dont think anyone is spying on you. In any case, just wipe your phone and reinstall. If you have backups go through each app and make sure theres no rouge apps.

If you dont want to go through the long process go into apps then into permissions. Disable unwanted permission like camera, microphone on apps that shouldnt need those permissions.

You should really install apps through playstore or apk pure. Apps with mods and cracks are the ones you should stay clear.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
We live in a super connected planet interference can happen so easily! Not sure what network provider you are with ? Some network providers suck others are awesome! All depends who you with ??

Also your data not matching up, can be easily be mismatched as servers not updating or your data is on the sever but server only updates once a week or a month to save cost there to many factors involved to say this is the issue

Plus you did say you have reset your Note 9! So how can he really keep track of how much data you have used ?

Mr Ted Harris you are not being hacked or being spied just take a deep breath and relax!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ted Harris:
I have three different ways of tracking my data glasswire my network provider and the Samsung way, the thing is in January I get a text message from the provider saying I use up 95% of my data I was at a loss cause if i have a 8gb plan a month and what is not use roll over to the next month and any large download I do on wifi even to update my app I do on wifi, I don't use YouTube on my data for sure Facebook can't be pulling that much data or Instagram, the network provider can't be wrong as as I am typing I have use 1.8gb out of 8gb for the month so for and not putting in to account what I had roll over from February cause glasswire nor Samsung registers what is roll over, just making a example.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ted Harris:
Yes I understand about disabling unwanted permissions but as reinstalling app goes you have two options Google or Samsung, Google reinstalling everything you had on your phone even if you downloaded it for apkpure once it can come from the play store, so if a app the say not available in this region and you use apkpure to download it, it will be redownload back for the play store, where as Samsung reinstalling all apps even if there come for the play store or Galaxy store, can it be possible I am redownload the spyware or malware from Samsung cloud as I am restoring my app, in the picture I what I have installed on my phone at the moment only thing I don't normally use is the Norton app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Unrelated but, where in the Caribbean are you from?

That's A LOT of apps. I see you have utorrent. That app runs in the background if it's not shutdown from in the app itself. Are you sure that's not what is killing your data?

Same experience here. Did some tests in comparison to my Oneplus 6 which is at least two times faster. I tried with different S10+'s, same results. It's a nice phone, but you have to be patient ;)

Thanks for starting this thread !

My question is, is there anyway to use the Edge lighting to show when charging? I miss the physical LED that indicated when the phone was charging!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] josephiskandar:
You can use the app Always On Edge for that purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Not that I know. I know that good Lock adds functionality to edge lighting but not that function in particular. Maybe someone else could chime in. On a brighter note I saw in a Samsung forum that Samsung was working on giving the lights around the camera some of those led functions. It didn't come from Samsung officially so who knows. That being said RIP phisical LED!

Hi, when I update or download apps from play store, there's no progress in the notification. But apps do get updated/downloaded.

S10+ Chinese SD version.

Anyone has any insights? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Well that's normal behavior. The only progress bar you'll see is in the app store itself and if you happen to be using one of the apps being updated it might force close. I'm not sure sure what the question is. Maybe a bit more details in regards to what you're trying to accomplish might help. ?

Hi All

Im experiencing a drop in data connectivity once in a while, be it with browser, fb, ig, youtube etc. BUT my 4G icon is still available and present at the navigation bar with full service reception.

I called my provider if there is any issues on their end but they said all is fine up and running.

Anybody having this issues or isit my baseband faulty or some kind? Snapdragon hardware btw. I have hard reset it by using the buttons but still no use.

Im an avid android geek having 3 4 phone changed in a year but this is by far the most frustrated device yet :(

Please help do i need to turn off some settings or what not?

Hopefully its just a software glitch or something it would be a hassle to send in for investigation.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Did you try a "Reset network settings"? That would probably be my first step in troubleshooting.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Depending on the keyboard you're using just press + or whatever you do if you're adding a picture and select the AR emoji you want from your album. Is that not working for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Drunkula:
I can do that but I cannot find in gallery, or anywhere else, the AR emojis. It only seems to work in the stock Messages app as it puts a dedicated button for this purpose in the input box.

Are you sure it's the stock messaging app or is it the stock keyboard?

Is there a difference between ordering an S10+ from AT&T or from Samsung (unlocked) directly? I'm an AT&T customer. I know I can pop my SIM in it and it will work. Just wondering if there are benefits to having the unlocked version. Thanks.

-NVE
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Ideally the benefit of the unlocked version is quicker updates but that isn't always the case. You also should have less bloatware since AT&T lays that bloat sauce real thick and heavy. The down side is that some network features like VoLTE or wifi calling my require extra steps to be activated. There are probably other pros and cons that I didn't mention.

Just got my S10+..enjoying it. Photos are awesome.

Coming from iOS, I have some noob questions.

I am using Google photos. Is there any way to save default camera roll to google photos and bypass Gallery app all together?

problem is, when i delete a pic from camera roll, it is not deleting from Google photos. I had to go back to google photos and delete it again. Is there any solution for this?

like make GP as default gallery/camera roll app or 'Delete from camera roll delete in GP'..?

Another question, out of the box phone showing an update and i updated it. It showed a message 'Updating apps 1 of 355', 355 Apps? i dont have that many apps installed..what i am missing?

Another Q: when i first opened box, parts of top and bottom screen were not occupied(like bezels). after a restart it showed full screen. should i worry about it? it is related to resolution or something? i didnt do anything, i just restarted and full screen came up.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to have YouTube running with screen off? Example, so I can listen to it instead of watching it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Welcome to Android! App duplication is heavy with Samsung. You have 2 gallery apps, 2 calendar apps and can even download more? Just leave the gallery app in the app drawer and use photos. You won't be able to access photos directly from the camera and will have to access photos from your launcher every time. That being said. I just use photos for storage. Give the gallery app a chance. It's actually pretty solid. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Either you're kidding or I think you are because I have YouTube premium and I can. Not sure it's a YouTube premium feature because I've had it for a while now. So if you have regular you tube and can't do it than it's probably a YouTube premium perk.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] CrypticMind:
Thank you. I like gallery app and camera roll set up. my question is, if i delete from roll, it is not deleting from google photos. i have to go there and delete again. any solution for this? more than happy to use Gallery.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Google and Samsung are 2 different things and are not at all linked. That's what I meant by duplicate apps. So when you had your iPhone and deleted pictures from your iPhone gallery it would delete it from the Google Photos app too?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] CrypticMind:
ohhk..got it. as it is working other way around, there might be setting to make it work both sides.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
That's it. If you want to delete, delete it from photos app and it'll delete it from both photos and gallery.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Arrowind:
The pics which you see when you've entered the Google photos app are the ones which are on cloud.(backed up).

The photos which are deleted in the default gallery app won't be reflected here. In Google photos, go to the menu icon. Beside the search bar. There you can access the device folders. And the pics in here are the same ones as the one in the default gallery app. The changes done in the gallery will be reflected in here. Hope you got it.

No sound from phone when connected to bluetooth

I have a Verizon S10+. Not sure if this has been posted before, but this has been a major pet peeve of mine for a few months now. I've already posted on Samsung's forums, however, it doesn't look like they will do anything about it. From the research I've done about it, it seems this may be due to an android update, rather than the actual phone. But, I'm hoping that maybe someone has a solution. Otherwise, I'm seriously considering going back to my iphone.

When I get in my car, my phone automatically connects via bluetooth. Once this happens, ANY notification sound no longer comes from the phone, instead it goes to the bluetooth. The problem is, if I'm listening to the radio I won't hear the notification. I can only hear the notification if I am using the media/aux input on my radio. Prior to this android update, you could continue to hear notifications from the phone speaker as well. Is there a way to restore this feature?

Secondly, I've noticed that night time mode doesn't seem to work in Android Auto anymore. The screen stays with a bright white background which is really annoying when driving at night. Prior to this it used to have a dark background at night. Was hoping for a fix for this as well.

TIA,

So I have the SM-975 model and its a Canadian Snapdragon model. From what Ive read it has a locked bootloader and doesnt have a root yet. So how can I permanently remove all the useless bloat and how can I get TiT Pro backup? Or will I have to wait some more before the genius' of XDA unlock the BL and then provide a root?

In the mean time how can I remove bloat, setup adblockers and have a malware free webrowser? I have come back from lame iPhone to my beloved android and it has been a while T__T.

You can disable bloatware and any unwanted apps/process with CCSWE App Manager from the play.store

Wait... disable is not the same as remove. I dont want them at all... like I want them deleted and gone for good.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
Without root impossible, you can uninstall some with adb uninstall commands, however this does only in effect disable them, I did this for chrome an YouTube but they are still accessible through the security folder. And the apk still exists in the root system app folder which you Cannot modify without root.
