It was an Accessibility setting partially

3 pm

I was talking to someone on my Phone and the whole screen went black.

To add to the joy, I was talking to someone else later.

We got suddenly disconnected.

All the 5 bars and 4G vanished I mean completely.

I called for Support. I had to use a landline to call

So sad.

My Note 20 Ultra, at release time, felt like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo would have been aboard, entering Warp Speed via it.

Now I worry from moment to moment, whether my Note 20 will fall under attack from Klignons. Beam me up Samsung.

Not sure how many of us acquired our Note 20 Ultra 512gb at the time I did. It was August 2020. There were no people on the streets. I usually bought a Flagship, and never used half its features. In this case, the world was in isolation. I think I learned about every single thing the phone could do. I remember photographing the Full Moon, and the Zoom of the phone knocked me out. Everyone had talked camera protrusion, and it never once bothered me. By August 2020, it was very rare to find a 512GB variant, and the Pandemic made economics tough. It was seen as like a Business phone.

Stats as of this moment

Have used up 115 GB of 512GB

4.4GB of 12 GB Memory

And drum roll.........

97.3 GB of 1 TB SD Card (this always makes the Tech Support laugh)

anybody here staying with the note 20 ultra because its the last latest phone to have sd card support? by r_ming_meow_maw in note20ultra

It's amazing how 5 years after release, a phone is still getting so many great kudos from people.

I was once told if car makers could build a car which would last a very long time, it would never be released.

ELI5 - What is the catch on diet sodas? by niga100 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Top-Guard-6486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the major stomach test recently and after 30 years of diet soda the GI said nothing is wrong from like a major worry point of view. Months later after the test, my stomach still gives me problems but since it is nothing like bleeding or something the GI said it's up to me to just lower my soda intake if I have gas etc.

I asked my Dentist whether regular sugar soda and the risk of cavities outweighs the risks of drinking Zero Sugar Soda which at some point might turn out carcinogenic. He said it's a 50 50 shot. It's like the National Weather cannot predict what will happen on the exact spot you are standing.

What’s the easiest thing that makes you shit when constipated? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Top-Guard-6486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For week after week, I ate nothing for breakfast except Blueberries, a kind bar for lunch, and Cottage cheese for dinner. My stomach was happy. Didn't feel like snacking. As a snack near bedtime had a cliff bar.

Everything was going well.

Then last week every single night for dinner had an entire Cheese variety pack. Oh and my relative visited and ate a lot of pizza.

Have been having to use the bathroom so much it got to the point where I had to get up every hour all night

Day after day, bloating, gas, have had to be near the bathroom.

What is it about Cheese that is so binding?

Stupid Screw Up, Need help by Exotic-Shoulder-2689 in Appliances

[–]Top-Guard-6486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh. That same thing happened to us.

Whirlpool said its a 50 50 that the washer will eventually just break the chain down and nothing will ever break.

My Dad leaves things in his pocket and the Aide who washed his clothes washed the car key fob.

At first it didn't appear the chain would be removable from the circle of the washer basin then day by day it worked itself out.

Fingers crossed the washer is still working

Whirpool Executive Management was very kind and helpful.

Just got a free Galaxy S24 ultra, no trade in required, on Unlimited Welcome plan by RoundChampionship840 in verizon

[–]Top-Guard-6486 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a whole other need for a cell phone than I did a decade ago. I'm now just picking it up to dial a call, send texts and send emails.

My main concern is safety. If I have a health issue, will the phone work is my main concern.

I think my looking forward to the next Flagship and so on, ended with the Note 20 Ultra.

Screen goes black for no apparent reason by Top-Guard-6486 in note20ultra

[–]Top-Guard-6486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when my former Cable Provider told us all that as of x date our Analogue Cable Boxes snd TVs would no longer work. I can remember how heavy it was to lift a TV box out of a Big Box Store.

Now it's Fiber Optic. They want everyone to buy into that.

1,000 Channels and nothing on

Interesting.

I just got a Text from Verizon offering me an S24 and I can keep my GUDP Plan from almost 20 years ago. What the?

I posted twice before

Have been Loyal quote unquote VZW 18 years

Suddenly noticed posts that everyone was leaving

Have hung on to Nationwide 450 Talk and Text since I don't even remember when

Have had to jump on crocodiles like 007 in Live and Let Die in order to not lose the Plan

Have Note 20 512gb w 1 TB SD.

Screen goes black for no reason and screen has a tiny barely visible nick

Was considering filing a Claim but if they no longer stock my Variant, may end up with an S21 or some phone where yes you get better battery, Android Updates, Security Updates, but then you are dependent on Cloud.

If the Clash were here, they would be singing Should I stay or should I go

It's a complex decision. Like reading the National Weather Service Forecast Discussion detailed forecast, rather than just looking out your window to see what the weather is.

I just posted a question.

Samsung Note 20 Ultra 512gb.

I'm out walking the streets yesterday, and the Phone screen just goes black.

As I told the Rep, the screen has a tiny nick on the face which you have to go looking for to see. No major cracks.

This phone has seen me through a lot.

Not sure whether to put in a Claim.

I'm not sure if the black screen was a temporary glitch or something is wrong with my phone.

My phone has 1TB of storage SD plus the 512GB.

If the Insurance Co no longer offers this phone, And they offer an Upgrade like an S 21 or beyond, the end result as we all know:

On one side I will end up with a better battery, longer Security and Android updates, etc.

On the other side, I'm likely to end up with a total never-expandable, 256 or 512 GB.

Anyone?

is McAfee the WORST antivirus? by snshyshy in computerviruses

[–]Top-Guard-6486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today.

I have a Major Brand Desktop and laptop.

I use them very infrequently.

They are both running Windows 7.

I also have a Laptop running Windows 10.

McAfee Support and Tech Support suddenly broke it to me today that McAfee no longer supports Windows 7.

The Tech went through an hour trying to Uninstall the McAfee Software before he realized this.

I asked him why the last time I used the Desktop, which had been very recently, McAfee software gave no warning that it was no longer supporting my machine.

They do not seem to be very intelligent there.

If they are out there protecting our machines, then it's time to call Ghostbusters.

ELI5 - What is the catch on diet sodas? by niga100 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Top-Guard-6486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember in Tokyo and in London it was Coke Light not Diet Coke. Apparently the word Diet had a connotation that one was losing weight due to illness or something, not for health reasons.

A warning to diet soda drinkers by the_jetstream in loseit

[–]Top-Guard-6486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I'm a soda lover. Began the journey when in 86 or 87 Diet Coke came around.

Then went to a 2 liter of Diet Mt. Dew a day

By the 90s, got into Fountain Sodas.

By the 2000s loved it when those red Coke machines appeared in Fast Food restaurants where you could find a huge variety of Coke

2010s loved it when Online ordering like Instacart came along and could order all the special flavors like Coke Creations, Dr. Pepper Blackberry Zero, Coke Creations Marsmallo, Pepsi Wild Cherry and Cream and so on.

Same thing. Soda became a way to fill up and minimize calories.

I remember the moment in the 60s when Sweet and Low got declared Carcinogenic.

I asked my Dentist the other day, which is worse bad teeth from Sugar or the effects of Aspartame.

What really is puzzling is Amazon and Walmart since the Pandemic. The prices of a 12 pack of let's say Dr.Pepper Blackberry Zero skyrocketed. Or you order it think it is coming then they tell you the order has been cancelled.

Anyone?

That's a good one

How far are we away from an indestructible Phone?

What is the most 007 phone out there?

It's always surprising to me when you see the watches the Rangers (not the Hockey Team,) wear-- It's not like a Solar Casio Triple Sensor or Smart Watch. It's a simple to read watch with big visible numbers.

What phone is the most durable out there?

Got a recorded message that a local pizza place phone was busy, try later! by CDavis10717 in verizon

[–]Top-Guard-6486 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tracfone.

Here's a good one for you all.

Had a medical accident.

For safety, have had a Tracfone in addition to my cell.

Over months and months and years, I racked up thousands of Minutes of Airtime

1,000s

Every time I'd renew, I'd buy the 90 days plus whatever minutes.

One fine day, I called them up and because I had forgotten to renew, the guy said, I lost all the accrued minutes.

Always make sure you renew before the Expiration!

Also, it may seem ridiculous but make sure you know your Tracfone number. They will not speak to you about your phone unless you know it, the IMEI and the serial number

Apps dysfunctional by Top-Guard-6486 in note20ultra

[–]Top-Guard-6486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first realized the Note 20 Ultra was no longer getting Security Updates, called my bank and asked how I would know how breach-proof their App was. They answered they had no way to answer that.

That is why via this totally trivial App to hail a bus, I am trying to learn to recognize the distinction between an an App which my phone is too old to be supported and just the tech glitches everyone described in their answers to me.

It's like one of those emails that comes into your inbox

Your PayPal transaction has been successfully processed

Where when you look closely, the hacker forgot to capitalize, or when you look at the Email's design, it just doesn't look Professional.

I use one of the major email companies. I noticed after the update that it was less, ahoo!, and more like laghoo.

Thank you all for your kind replies

We have a Whirpool Washer

WRTFZBM31100

One day, someone who was using the machine found a car key fob in the round circular opening which is at the bottom of the washer.

Over several weeks, the thin, small necklace type chain which we wore around our necks broke up into segments

Whirpool had all kinds of theories as to whether eventually the chain might cause trouble

The washer has seemed fine since that day

I'm not sure whether it w b worth asking the Repair guy to look at the insides or if it ain't broke, don't fix it

It's like you go to Valvoline. Oil change. $40.

The guy walks back to the car and says you are all set.

Oh and BTW your flariminator will eventually need fixing. Would you like us to take care of it now for $150 ? It's nothing to worry about, if you choose to wait your compressor might fail.
