    Camera vs. banking app

    Last check (that wouldn't deposit), I had to take in to explain that all the requisite writing for mobile deposit needed to be voided so I could deposit it in person. While there, their tech person tried several times to make it go, the person on the other end who actually "reads" the two images...

    Camera vs. banking app

    Dunno. The banking app controls the camera and it appears there are no user settings in/for it. I can use the actual camera app to take a pic of the check and it's perfect, but of course, not usable by the app. Apparently the banking app software is scrambling the image. Something is muy...

    Camera vs. banking app

    Following up. October check came today. Neither my A54 nor the wife's new A54 would take pix clean enough to submit. Pulled out and fired up my old LG G6, connected to website via WiFi, and check went in w/o issue. Guess I need to take a trip to T-Mobile and have them explain how two new phones...

    Got the wife a matching A54 yesterday, thanks to all the great help here it took maybe 4 hours to set up instead of a week! Russ

    Appreciate it it, it charges with an acceptable time at 18w. Russ

    Help Migrating to new A54, q's!

    Just happened to remember the sales gal at T-Mobile said my old (LG) charger brick may not push enough amps as the Samsung which could result in the phone charging slower and/or battery taking "a set" at the lower charge rate. I do not know the capacity of either and the phone seems to fast...

    Here's another. How do I repopulate the popup sharing panel? My old LG had so many shares I had to scroll through them, now I only have a couple and they don't matter. I'd really like to at least see "email" on the list... TIA! Russ DOH, never mind! Found it after a Google search, guess I'm...

    The check's paper has a busily patterned background, but it hasn't changed. I think. I'll have to recheck that. Was this a one-off deal or pretty much all the time? Ours has a $2k limit, my check was well below that. I've unintentionally tried one over $2k and got a nasty message that req'd me...

    Camera vs. banking app

    Yeah, it's a small outfit, only shows 5k downloads. I just had a thought (too late now), next time I'll try clearing app cache, then data, and if that doesn't fix it, uninstall the app, run a cleaner, then reinstall. Will post back but it may be awhile... Russ

    Camera vs. banking app

    Hi All, Been doing remote deposit checks since Covid a couple years ago using my LG G6 without any problems. Now I've got a 2 week old A54 that refuses to take proper photos of a check for RD using my credit union app. I tried a dozen times and while the pix looked clear, they would not...

    Lotsa great help here, thanks! Changing phones, especially after 5+ years of added technology, can be quite humbling! For a 70 yr old at that. This one's ~ 98% figured, now we need to do the same for the wife's phone! Russ

    Errr, I hate being the dumb guy! Pull down notifications panel, locate Pandora, swipe right, GONE. Russ

    Well, I'm paid up thru '25, so in the interim, I may try some other services and see if they're blocked. After my 'script expires, who knows... Russ

    Google - not Google question...

    Exactly, I am definitely blaming Google. If they are not blocking PIA servers, why not reply back to my Community query saying so instead of ignoring it? Bing = OK. All other sites = OK, even Imgur which blocked PIA servers for several months. The only sites I get that blocked image on are...

    Google - not Google question...

    I'm thoroughly convinced. There are other less intrusive conglomerates available, but with Drive, Gmail, etc, it's hard to get around it... Russ
