Hi! I'm this subreddit's mod.

Over time, I've been making strides to make this one of Reddit's best subreddits. My approach to moderating subreddits has been to take action when it's needed, but not to intervene too heavily into the experience where it feels too restricted and not fun to be a part of anymore.

But I did want to clean up and organize the subreddit a bit more. So from now on, I will not be allowing troubleshooting inquiries in this subreddit, and ask that you move them to r/SamsungSupport, or any other subreddit that allows you to, of course. Recommendation questions and that sort of thing are still allowed here, but for screen issues, "why does my Galaxy Tab get hot?", and other general troubleshooting inquiries, please visit r/SamsungSupport.

The Samsung Support subreddit is another subreddit I'm a mod of. Someone else created it and made me a mod, but he hasn't posted in 5 years and the quality of it went downhill due to him not maintaining the Automod. So I put Automod on the backburner for now until its issues can be solved, and everyone can freely post their issues without having to deal with Automod locking a post or any of the issues that subreddit's members had to deal with frequently.

Hopefully this creates a more pleasant experience here, and I'm always open to input! So feel free to drop any below!

The original mod here (u/mostafa_19nm) set up Automod which configured how you posted your questions. There will still be guidelines set up, but the posting requirements will no longer be nearly as strict as they once were.

And honestly, I'm not sure how exactly he set up his Automod. The last time he posted or commented anything was 5 years ago, so I don't think he has access to his Reddit account anymore.

Going forward, you will not have to adhere to the post guidelines, regardless of what rule #1 says. All other rules still apply though. For now, please clearly give a general statement of your issue, followed by a more detailed description of your problem, and what you've tried.

Let me know if you still have any issues! Automod still is in effect, but I severely restricted what it can do. I don't think the original mod here had any bad intentions of course, he just wanted to keep this subreddit as organized as possible I'd imagine, but he hasn't been here to configure his Automod.

So I checked my update list, and I've received nothing that seems to be an update fix pushed from Samsung. Just random Microsoft Defender updates, but I just plugged in my Koss headphones into my Galaxy Book's 3.5mm headphone jack, and it let me immediately increase my volume all the way to 100%!

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but if you are dealing with this issue, I recommend checking Windows Update and see if anything changes.

It seems like a lot of us are dealing with an issue that use Windows on ARM where if we plug in headphones, the volume gets stuck at 37% with no clear solution. I edit videos, so this has been a massive headache for me personally. USB-C headphones do currently seem to be the workaround.

It seems that this is a limiter that kicks in that's supposed to show a dialog to warn users about listening at high volumes past 37%, but the dialog never shows up or isn't programmed into the system. I believe their Intel laptops do this. If I'm wrong, sound off in the comments.

This is coming from a Galaxy Book4 Edge user. If you have a Galaxy Book6 Edge and deal with this as well, please sound off in the comments! Hopefully this megathread can help bring this to Samsung's attention to address the issue.

Samsung has begun rolling out One UI 8.5 to its Galaxy Tabs after only previously being on phones. If you received the update, please drop the model and country (carrier if applicable) in the comments. You may also ask others here if their particular device received it.
