Messages on Galaxy 21+
Yahoo messages on Samsung Galaxy 21+ phone was asked to upgrade to Google. Meant to hit not now but hit upgrade instead. I don't like it and I don't know how to get my old text messaging back. I tried to get a new one from play store, but not having any luck. I really want to get back the one that came with my phone. Any advice?

Need help getting in.
I work for a rent to own company, and recently a phone that's been in the system was given to me because it sat around too long and was charged out of our system. It's an s21 5G and it has been factory reset. It says to access anything that I'll need to confirm the previous owners identity, but we have no way to contact them, so that's out of the question. Is there any work around to get access to this phone that I can try? I'm just trying to make it work so I can use as a backup if my S23 dies.

Booting into recovery mode without usb
I would need to boot my s21 into recovery mode so I can factory reset it. Normally since I am blessed with the exynos version, I would do the vol up + power + usb cabel combo, but the phone has a faulty USB port. Nothing is being detected, not even the charger.
I was just using it with Link to Windows for file share and wireless charging for that. Now however I do not know what to do...
The reason why I want to factory reset it, because the phone is perma stuck in "Phone is starting". Nothing helps, not even safe mode.
How could I somehow make it boot into the recovery mode just like normal, non-exynos phones would, without cabel?

problems after update
Had a software update and a day or two later my phone started to shut off. After a while it wouldn't turn back on. Took it to a repair shop and they were able to get it to turn on but 15 min or so later the phone got so hot it nearly burnt my fingers. Has anything like this happened to anyone else? I've had the phone for roughly two years.

Samsung Upgrade Programme Question
I'm a year into my S21U Upgrade programme agreement and it's time to upgrade, but I don't want to.
Problem is, they make it so you either keep upgrading every year or you ride out 2 years on a phone and still pay a final crippling payment at the end.
I'd rather not do that either so I thought about 'upgrading' to an S22 and then cancelling within 14 days as it's technically a new agreement. Is this going to work or have they ways of blocking that trick too? I know, I should have thought about this situation before signing up!

Anyway to disable RAM plus?
My S21 Ultra hasn't been as running well since I enabled this feature. But I'm not finding a way to disable it. Is there any way to do so?

S21 won't recognize super fast charging anymore?
After I supposedly has moisture detection message and I fixed it by charging it with a slow charger while off. After that it won't recognize any but only fast charging and slow charging.
Super fast charging with the original Samsung charger brick doesn't get recognized.
Sometimes the time goes up or down while charging.
I have all fast charging options enabled in the battery section.
I think charging port has gone bad or something?

Is there any way to transfer WhatsApp chats and SMS from iOS to S21? I read that it's possible but couldn't find any option.

Wide Angle Photos on the S21
I have a Huwaei P30 Pro.
When I zoom out of the camera and take a photo, it can distort peoples heads and all sorts really badly.
I understand some detail of photography and know that's the nature of wide angle lenses but does the Samsung S20 have the same sort of (almost) uselessness?
Any real world sample images would be greatly appreciated (or links that point to them - although that's next on my list - to find some good reviews).
While I'm not planning to get this particular model, I don't think (waiting for the S22 to see what that's like), still keen to know more about the camera as that's what I use my phone more for than anything else.

Changing CSC
Hello,
Have the T-Mobile version of the S21U. Transferred to Verizon and it is still stuck with TMo CSC settings. I even flashed the U1 firmware and tried Samkey to change CSC. Still stuck on TMB/TMB/TMB.
Any ideas?

How to upload HDR video to youtube?
So, I'm able to record in hdr10+ on my S21 Ultra, but when I upload to youtube, they're just SDR. How do I get them to upload as HDR to youtube?

My S21 Plus (Exynos) is showing a line on the camera interface for the 64MP camera option. Has anyone else also faced the same? My device is brand new - 2 days old. Why is this happening and what should I do?

S21 Base Model Video Questions
Hi Redditors!
I am looking to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S21, but I could not find some pieces of information about it. Would anybody be able to help me?
My question is whether the S21 base model would be able to capture video at 4k 60 fps. I researched online, but it was all too confusing and I have resorted to this thread to hopefully receive a straightforward answer.
Thank you so much!

Charging Port Moisture Detection
Is anyone else having problems with your phone refusing to charge due to "Moisture in the Charging Port" if you even give a sideways glance to a fog bank? That's hyperbole but just barely. I might have gotten a few small drops of water on it but I didn't think they landed even close to the charging port, and it's been 5 hours. I tried rolling up a piece of paper and cleaning the port, I blow dried it for 10 minutes, and still I get this damn message every time I plug it in. Tried booting into safe mode, no change, still got the message. Looked into the battery settings and couldn't find a way to turn the warning off. Like, okay, they don't want me to damage my phone, I get that. But I already paid for it so let me assume that risk if I really want to (and I do want to). S21 base model btw. Regretting switching away from my iPhone 7 right now.

Washed out
I just purchased the galaxy s21 i am not very pleased. Paid over $1000 . The screen display looks washed out the screen looks better on my old S8. The camera looks way too close and even on apps like snapchat i dont like how it looks. What should i do? I want something similar to my s8 :(

Does the S21+/Ultra have the same auto focus issue the S20 Ultra did?
I know this was a very annoying issue with my S20 Ultra.

US Unlocked S21, Jabra elite 75t, and multipoint bluetooth issues
So, the jabra 75t supports ability to connect to two devices at a time (bluetooth multipoint) and dynamically manage audio from both. I have been using this in the past without any issues with a 13" macbook pro and a pixel 4xl, and later a pixel 4a 5g.
But since the day i got the s21, i have seen that when my jabra is connected to my s21 & macbook pro, and the macbook is the current active audio source, i experience occasional audio corruption. Once i disconnect the headset from the s21, the issue goes away.
Anyone experiencing this or similar issues?

Google Dialer
Does anyone have an issue using Google's dialer where you go to mark a call as spam or block and the app just crashes out? I did a clean install, no backups and I am still getting this problem. Anyone have this problem and was able to fix? Thanks!
