Settings -> Display -> Toggle on 'Touch sensitivity'

Thanks heaps for that, I shall give it a try. I looked in the biometrics and accessibility settings and never thought about display setting Doh! I am a long time iPhone user and only just transitioning to full time Android user.

A world that has gone totally insane.

My advice to people switching from iOS to Android is much the same as when they were switching to Mac from PC back in the day - if something feels off to you, then you'll probably find there's a way to do the thing you want to do, or fix the behaviour you want to fix, you just need to find the setting or app to do it.

I have to say that coming from iPhone to the Galaxy Ultra has been a great experience. The transfer of data from one to thother was a breeze. Some access had to be redone EG banking App. I wasn't into the whole green bubble blue bubble bollocks with messaging as 99% of those I text use WhatsApp. Google Assistant with all its warts is better than Siri and orders of magnitude better than Bixby (I gag when ever I think of that abomination).

I fiddled a bit trying the Apple Earpods on the Samsung and gave up and gave them away. I am using a Shokz Open Run Pro Bone induction headset now. By the way they awesome. I am still finding my way with the nitty gritty of the Galaxy but all in all it's a great phone.

I am tossing up using an Esim in it just not sure of the disadvantages/advantages of Esim. Phones were never my forte I am a Network/PC/Laptop/Linux/ IT manager person.

A world that has gone totally insane.

No worries, welcome to the club!

Regarding eSIM, the advantages and disadvantages in part depend on which mobile carrier you are with since they implement eSIM differently.

For example, One NZ allows you to re-use the QR code that was emailed to you during the initial switch to eSIM, should you need to switch between phones later on - my daughter switched from S20U to Fold3 without having to visit the store again.

With e-sim on the S23 you have to have to have a physical sim and an e-sim to do dual sim. You can't do dual sim at the same time with 2 e-sims

My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

I think it's either dual physical SIMs or 1 physical SIM and eSIM, there is no such thing as dual eSIM

Here was I thinking that eSIM would resolve the problem of 2 SIMs and an SD card but no, the S range phones are too posh for additional storage.

The feature has apparently been removed. What a PITA.

My Tab S7 linked to a Samsung A54 mobile can call highlighted numbers but the phone itself doesn't get the call option.

Is anyone having zoom issues above 10x on their S23U?

My brother's Spark S23U (8/256) is having this issue where zooming on anything 10x and above the image on the view finder becomes blurry.

He noticed this issue after an update on 1 Sept.

I tried resetting camera settings within the app to no avail.

Apparently there are users complaining of this issues on reddit.

No issues on my unit although I haven't rebooted to apply the September update.
