    Traveling to Europe, best option to use phone abroad

    I'm almost certain I can use eSIM. So with this option I get data but no calls? Would the eSIM allow for texting? I know I can't text via wifi. If so, I can easily use WhatsApp for my emergency calls via eSIM and leave everyone else waiting for me to return.

    Traveling to Europe, best option to use phone abroad

    Definitely helpful. I was going to get the international plan for my phone, but wasn't sure if there was something else I should consider instead. Now to convince everyone else they don't need their phone while there. Haha!

    Traveling to Europe, best option to use phone abroad

    We're traveling to Europe (Germany and Prague, specifically) and I'm wondering about what the best option is for my phone (or our phones) all on ATT. I'm specifically curious about my phone (S22 Ultra) but if you have thoughts on these other, lesser phones (3 iPhones). I can use wifi calling...

    Notifications from maps?

    Voice directions are fine, but there are times my phone is silenced and having the vibration on my wrist helps.

    Notifications from maps?

    Gotta bump it. Using maps still not sending notifications to watch. I liked the buzz it would give notifying me of an upcoming turn, etc.

    Notifications from maps?

    Not synced to the car, someone else was using the cars BT. I can't remember if in the past I was connected to the car or not.

    Notifications from maps?

    At one point when I setup navigation in Google maps on my phone, I would get notifications on my Watch 4 Classic (like it would buzz for upcoming turns, etc). However, I setup navigation today on my phone and I got no responses on my watch. How do I get those back?

    Charging issues

    Just recently I've had issues where my phone doesn't charge. I was traveling last week and in the hotel I plugged in my phone to the provided charger/cable. The same setup I use daily. However, it didn't charge. Switched around cables, outlets, etc. Here's what I'm experiencing now - I plug the...

    Rearrange order of watch faces

    Ok, I'll admit before I get started, this is nitpicking. I had to reset the network settings on my phone. Little did I know that it resets my watch 4 classic (factory reset). Before I changed my network on my phone the faces on my watch were ordered left to right. What I mean is, if I long press...

    Watch 4 classic - tracking steps

    I'm curious about how the watch tracks steps. Do I need to be swinging my arms as I walk to trigger the counter? If I hold my arms still and walk, should my steps be counted? I ask because I have about a third of an acre to mow. I use a push mower and was about 3/4 finished and I looked at my...

    Google Messages failed to send

    In the past month, or so, I acquired a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and in order to utilize texts on the watch I switched my texting app from Textra to Google Messages. I never had an issue with Textra in the years I've used it. However, with Messages I get a "failed to send" on a text at least once a...

    Calls coming to Watch 4

    I have the LTE Watch 4 Classic and I am able to receive calls on the watch. However, the calls do not come through to my phone. I assumed I would have a choice when receiving a call - answer on the phone or the watch. However, I'm only getting the option to answer on the watch, my phone never...

    Email app?

    Got a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and looking for an email app. It installed Outlook because it's on my phone (I'm guessing), but I have this on my phone for work. And I don't want to mix the two. I'm looking for an app I can use for personal email on the watch. Suggestions?

    Which Galaxy 4 watch?

    I'm looking online and comparing the various Galaxy Watch 4 models. I'm curious which model folks believe is best - Watch 4 or Classic? The Classic is definitely heavier and bigger, but I'm worried the non-Classic is too small for me - I'm 6'1", 240lbs (not a small guy). I'll wear it to the gym...

    Free phone with Verizon?

    We may be switching to Verizon soon and I will be getting my son his first phone. I'd like to get him one of the free phones rather than a $1000 phone. So I'm curious, out of the options they currently have, which is the best phone to look at for him? I know the phone won't be as great as the...

    Lenovo Chromebook Duet keyboard

    I recently acquired a Chromebook Duet and have a question about the keyboard. I didn't find a forum I thought fit properly so I hope this is the right place. He default keyboard sucks, unless I can find settings to change it. It doesn't automatically put a space after a period or comma, it...

    No email notifications / badges after update

    My att S20+ had a software update over the weekend. While some nice changes were included, I've lost some functionality that I can't seem to get back. Side note: using nova launcher pro. I use K9 mail and I no longer get notifications for new mail once it has arrived. I have to keep opening K9...

    Call info - nothing there

    Sometimes when I get a call from a number I don't recognize, I'll let it go to voicemail. Then I'll check the history of the number to see if maybe it was someone (a biz maybe) I had called earlier and they were returning my call. I do this by touching the number and getting options - add to...

    In my settings I have all apps set to Auto under Full Screen Apps settings. Under the advanced section I have the Hide Camera Cutout turned off. However, on my home screen the wallpaper doesn't extend into the notification area, leaving a small black bar, including the camera cutout, across the...

    Doze?

    I'm trying out a new email app however it appears as though it goes to sleep for hours at a time. I thought I had my settings correct to prevent this, but I may be missing something. What settings do I need to check to make sure the app doesn't go to sleep?

    Padding at bottom of screen

    I'm going to try my best to describe this, so I hope it makes sense. :) Woke this morning and my phone now has a "dead zone" of half an inch, approximately. If I try to launch an app from the home screen, I can't tap on the bottom half of the icons, as nothing happens. I have to tap the upper...
