Samsung has disabled the ability to use custom notifications and ringtones with OneUI 5 on wearables. As it use to work on older versions OneUI
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Mercury-79:
Got it, thanks for the answer! But I don't understand why the notification and alarm sounds can be changed to a non-factory sound. Of course, Samsung certainly understands the reason...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] willcor:
I'VE got an Watch 6 Classic OneUI 5.0 .and custom Ringtones /Notification does work ....for me ...!

So i don't agree with this statement ...

".Samsung has disabled the ability to use custom notifications and ringtones with OneUI 5 on wearables. As it use to work on older versions OneUI"

Yes , for me my custom Ringtones ...and Notifications sticks ....!!!

I have been using custom ringtones for months now.

(I.ve also had custom ringtones on my Watch 4 .)

See my post # 21 ,

above where I set out how I enable it .

I have an S24 Ultra / Watch 6 combo

( previous I had it working on S23 ULTRA / Watch 6 )

Please take a look at my screenshots above and in this post ...!

See my screenshots
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Mercury-79:
Thanks, I'll try it, I hope it works for me too!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Mercury-79:
I did everything according to your description, but unfortunately it doesn't work... I see the selected ring tone in the list, when I click on it, the watch plays it, but when someone calls me, one of the factory ring tones sounds instead of the one I set.

Does this stuck? How do you "drop an mp3 in the folder" ?? Which folder? And how?... Earlier in this thread,there are instructions on how to change to an added notification tone .

Even a YouTube video on how to do it.

I really don't know what makes it work for some and not for others...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] ChopstickIdk:
I made an account just to say this,

As of July 2024 on oneui 5 (the latest) you can put custom ringtones and notification sounds by copying the .mp3s to the "ringtones" or the "notifications" folders.

Here's what most people didn't do

After you copy the files you NEED TO RESTART YOUR WATCH,

Once it powers up go into settings, sounds, and your custom ringtones and notification sounds will appear in the selection menus

You're welcome

Not a problem,but I'm looking to tether my phone.
[Google Pixel 6a] ryan92084:
if you are tethering a computer or another android device to your phone I'd give pdanet+ a go. I've used it with tmobile for years and they've never noticed. The free versions bumps you off every hour or something but you can reconnect immediately so you can give it a good test drive.
[Google Pixel 6a] AtrixHDMan:
I don't like that route I want to tether just from hotspot like you can back on Android 11 and below.
[Google Pixel 6a] ryan92084:
I mean the regular hot spot feature works just fine. Any restrictions are on your provider.
[Google Pixel 6a] AtrixHDMan:
My plan only comes unlimited data on the phone
[Google Pixel 6a] ryan92084:
You either pay your carrier to let you hotspot the easy way or you workaround with pdanet etc. Not much else i can say.
[Google Pixel 6a] AtrixHDMan:
Unfortunately that plan is not capable of adding hotspot and I'm rooted can't believe with root it's not possible.
[General Questions and Answers] dzr:
What is a good way to add iTunes playlist music to an android phone (pixel 7)? There are too many songs to copy one by one considering they're in all different locations .

The doubleTwist product is giving me errors.

Isyncr is $14 per week.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
Have you tried to transfer iTunes Playlist to your Pixel 7 using Apple Music?

In addition, you can sync iTunes Playlist with Google Play Music.
[General Questions and Answers] dzr:
Yes, but at $14 a week, it's way too expensive.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] dzr:
Thanks. I believe that Apple music requires a monthly fee. Can music be downloaded from Play Music (no unlimited plan)... Does it automatically deal with playlist s?
[General Questions and Answers] dzr:
Google play music doesn't even exist anymore it's now YouTube music. It seems you can upload individual songs and not a playlist... Finding 300 songs in different locations I might as well copy them manually.
[General Questions and Answers] dzr:
All I needed to do will select all songs within the playlist in iTunes and then drag them to the destination folder and all the songs in the playlist copied over.
[General Questions and Answers] Oghenekaro U:
I had the same question a while back. I found this tool called MusConv that helped me transfer my playlists between different services. You might want to check it out
[General Questions and Answers] Musconv:
Try Musconv! It is one of the best music apps I can ever get. If you search for an artist, you will get a playlist of all his songs, which you can easily transfer. You can also watch music videos along with it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BlockbusterF:
Hello,

I've got an Idea for a little Program. I really like the Auto adjust backlicgt function. Every other solution work as good as the original one, only for my opinion.

But at night I want it to be completely dark, so i have to go throught the menu to toggle the function off and on at morning.

So I would like to have a simple .exe which just toggles the registry value for the auto backlicht function like they already exists for toggling w-lan or bluetooth.

Should be very easy I think, but I can't do it.

Sorry for my english, hope somebody understand what I mean :D

P.S.: I know that there already exists an .exe to toggle the backlight value, but not the auto adjust fuction, because it was developed for Kaiser.

regards, fRED

See my 4 post! Solved myself :D Just extract the Folder and Click the .exe or place a shortcut to it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bfan13:
I wrote up a MortScript to toggle the function, dont know if you'd be interested in it. Simply run the script and it will toggle the auto backlight. Hope this helps!

Ciao, Andrea
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BlockbusterF:
I don't want to use Lumos or G-Light. Have tried them both and I don't like them very much.

The original adjust function works much more reliable for me. The is just my personal opinion of course.

Your MortScript bfan13 is a good beginning. I just don't like that everything is popping up just wenn you would klick on it.

I've read a little bit about MortScript and you can also easily read/write reg entrys with it.

So all you have to do is to toogle the reg value

"\HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LightDetectOn" 1 or 0

I try to write such a function today, but if somebody can do it faster then me, just post it here.

fRED
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BlockbusterF:
OK, it's done!

Writed it on my own now! It just toggle the right RegValue.

So I helped myself :D If anyone else want to use it...

If i unlock the bootloader, will i still have access to mobile data immediately afterwards?

Unlocking the bootloader does not impair any device functions. It will wipe user data and you may have to use additional measures to use security sensitive apps, but otherwise the device will function normally

I've been on a Google device for most of the last 5 years.

I I'm blown away by the device, love it. So far, but there are Microsoft apps, Samsung apps come with Google apps, which obviously I have really been relying on with my love of everything from the Nexus and all the way app to the pixel stuff.

What Samsung in Microsoft apps are you people using? Google managers? My passwords, is it worth going through Samsung pass? Samsung browser? I hate having multiples of a lot of things And definitely want to clean it up. Are there any Samsung apps that you definitely wouldn't give a chance? Are there some that you definitely would switch to dictate
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] blackhawk:
A whole different animal. Samsung's are the most customizable stock Android. Use the native launcher; nothing else is as fast, stable, versitile and battery friendly. It can be heavily modified with the Good Lock family of apps.

Samsung browser is good for vids, I use Brave otherwise. Chrome never.

Samsung Messenger. Samsung My Files and Gallery.

I use Gmail but Playstore, Google backup Transport, Quick Search, Voice Assistant are disabled. Bixby is so dead. OTA updates is always disabled. Samsung pass, never.

Go to the Galaxy store. Pick a theme (the native high contrast works well), pick a free icon pack then choose your own wallpaper if wish.

From the Galaxy store download the Good Lock Family of apps especially Quickstar, Clockface and One Handed Operation plus. Use Clipboard Edge for copy/paste if still supported.

It's going to take a spell. After almost 4 years I'm still exploring my N10+ running on Pie. Lots of features I don't use, some I forgot about🤣 i use many of the Samsung apps like Calendar rather the Google apps. For bluetooth you now have the proprietary Samsung SSC codec that works with Samsung bt buds, some cool features there.

I would use NextDNS or equivalent to block app ads as well... for starters.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] blackhawk:
Samsung has its own ecosystem. I disable many Google apps because they eat battery. Google play Services consistently will use 1%@hr or more. Google is a known data miner supreme.

I also disable Google firebase. Gmaps is a menace as it always loads fast at startup. May start disabling it again. I use NextDNS to block Google's constant connecting (and god knows what else) for Gmail unless I want to check it.

Eventually you'll want to use Package Disabler or adb/ladb edits to take out the trash and apps you don't use. All Samsung's should be optimized to yield best battery life, cool running and performance. Otherwise they can be hot running battery hogs... it doesn't have to be this way.

Get some fast .5tb OTG flashsticks to do frequent "dirty" backups. Main backups should always be to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. With no expandable storage this is your best option.

Do Not use SmartSwitch as it can fail you miserably; copy/paste then verify size/if readible all critical data. Never encrypt backup drives as you are the one most likely to be lock out! Disabling Google backup Transport will significantly increase battery life. With 5G the hit may not be as great as compared to 4G only, but it's still going to hurt.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kickenwing13:
I feel like you just unplugged me from The Matrix. None of that stuff requires root or any of that stuff, right? That's just stuff you do.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] blackhawk:
All stock.

This is what my N10+ looks like. It's all tricked out. One UI using a free Galaxy icon pack. One Handed Operation plus can be used for side gesture navigation among other things.

Samsung's are very customizable, no rooting required.

View attachment 5972861View attachment 5972863

That's Digi Clock and Energy Ring you see, 3rd party apps. Notice no status bar? All hidden using a combination of settings and QuickStar.

It also has virtual buttons* which I prefer modified with NavStar so they're no so white bright.

* native to Pie but my other N10+ that runs on Android 10 has the annoying Google swipe gestures. NavStar fixes that on Android 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kickenwing13:
I remember some Android pie gestures back in the day. Maybe on my nexus 6P or maybe a note 3 or something that had PIE gestures built into some ROMS. Brings me back a little.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] blackhawk:
Not Samsung for N10+; it was originally released with virtual keys. The Android 10 upgrade undid that. Thankfully there's NavStar.

I use a combination of the side gestures I set up with One Handed Operation plus and the virtual buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kickenwing13:
That's my first instinct. How do you deal with not having Google assistant? I tried Bixby for about a day and it was pretty terrible I figured out how to use Google Voice services for my text-to-speech and that got way better. The Samsung one was hilariously bad. But I can't figure out how to get Google Assistant really entertained. The only thing I can do is get it to recognize my OK Google command. And it definitely seems like they have gboard blocked
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] zapote21:
I have used gboard. Dont like samsung keyboard. And i use google assistant. Never used bixby once since they came out with it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] blackhawk:
I never use Google assistant or Bixby, just peck away...

I doubt gboard blocked. You should be able to use it unless it's not been updated for that device/OS.

Actually the Samsung keyboard is my favorite. It can be moded as well in a number of ways. I've been using it across 3 different models for almost a decade. Still looks almost exactly like it did on Kitkat on my S4+.

I use the dark version setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kickenwing13:
I can definitely handle the keyboard and the split keyboard seems pretty nice. But that voice to text was so embarrassing. You are right about the keyboard though. I always switch to g board and always have but when I come back to a Samsung device, it always seems to lay out really nicely and types very smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] blackhawk:
The only thing that annoys me is very rarely it will contrast flip to mostly white rather than black.

Takes a bit to find it in its settings.

I'd miss it a lot if I migrated away from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] BenGentle:
Big SwiftKey fan here. It's always been good but Microsoft acquired it somewhat recently and it's really only improving. I've never used gboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] zombie02:
I prefer Bitwarden over any other password manager.

Opensource, you can host it yourself, you can use it on any device.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kickenwing13:
I'm trying to give Bixby a chance to be my assistant, but it refuses to acknowledge that my hometown exists so anytime I mention any text message or ask about restaurants in that area it just refuses to understand I'm talking about that place. Also it refuses to use Google messages to send text messages so when I tell it to send a text message saying blah blah blah, it always tells me I need to make Samsung the default
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] blackhawk:
You read it's eula?🤣

Try clearing the system cache.

Try clearing the caches for all Bixby apps, then data if that fails.

Try some Google searches; most issues are long standing and are on multiple Samsung devices and firmware versions. Need not be that exact model/firmware to apply.

While Bixby is capable it's a menace, eats battery/resources and annoys the hell out of me. I prefer my Samsung's to be stupid. It's 99F ambient right now so even if it only decreases the SOT by 1 or 2% an hour it's still driving up the battery temperature. That's enough to make the difference between continuous usage or needing cooling breaks on my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] ethical_haquer:
I've disabled something like a sixth of all system apps on my A52. Almost all of the Google apps, and as many Samsung apps (My Files, Gallery, etc.) as possible. It seems faster now, and the battery lasts quite a bit longer. Next on the chopping block is Google Play Services/Store, although I'm not sure if I have to replace it with MicroG.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] blackhawk:
My Files and Gallery are useful and don't use resources if not active. Some camera images are viewable only correctly with Gallery.

Gmail, Playstore, and Google backup Transport are dependencies of Google play Services. Together they eat a good chunk of battery.

Google play Services by itself consumes 1-2% @ hr on my device. You can simple disable it when not needed which what i do (I use it for gmail).

To disable Google play Services you must first disable Find my Device as system Administrator in security (additional settings). Otherwise disable will be greyed out. Find my device is yet another little resource piggy and an invasive one at that.

I disable location almost always too.

Don't forget to disable Firebase in Google settings as well as all app, carrier and Google feedback, all not needed. For many these serve no useful purpose and jack up the power drain.

It's also impacting the cpu and connectivity performance to some extent. Sometimes very noticably if all the junk is running.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] mickliq:
No issue with disabling Bixby and using Google Assistant on the Z Fold 5 (or other Samsung devices).

A quick search will show you how to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] kickenwing13:
So right now I have Gmail deleted so I can try outlook. I know I really like outlook, I like the calendar built in.

I'm going out of my way to try and use Bixby but since I'm using Google messaging app it's pointless for me being busy sending a quick text and it's terrible at understanding what I want it to do for simple things like timers or to put something in the calendar.

I'm a little annoyed that Bixby doesn't seem to work with Google Calendar or Google apps. It's like I need to leave both calendars on here for the assistance, but then Outlook is the odd man out even though I like it as an app. Probably end up just going mostly Google other than the browser and all that stuff
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] zSyntex:
Outlook is a must if you've business work/plan with Windows.

I've used it for months at work and it's synced with lot of apps which I use. The other Office Suite is useless if you don't work on smartphone with Word, Excel and PP.

Bixby could be disabled without any problem, but it's useful its framework/core for Bixby Routines if you're planning to use them.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] blackhawk:
Lookout in the distant past left a nasty taste in my mouth, malware. Nothing has ever breached Gmail in 8 years of use. If you don't need instant notifications you can simply disable Google play Services and firewall block Gmail (NextDNS will suffice for blocking it, reset DNS to auto then when using Gmail) or simply login through your browser. I rarely need to access Gmail so it's no big deal for me. As configured above it uses next to nothing unless running.

Little bixby was always a runt. It uses a fair amount of resources and I flat out don't like it.

It may run better now if you can stomach it and it's outrageous EULA.

The best way to learn is play with it and see what works best for you. I would target the major power hogs and first try to tone them down in their settings unless the aren't needed. Then the smaller ones. There's a lot there and even after almost 4 years on the same firmware I still play around with different features and settings. Just customizing it is a learning curve the first time, lots of options.

The spen some of my favorite features as does edge clipboard and the Good Lock apps, particularly One Handed Operation plus. Killing any of those is out of the question for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Maskman_101:
Yeah, there is definitely a lot of bloatware's than I expected. I dont really had the need for those so I uninstalled everything I could on day 1 itself!
