Sizzling sound coming from Samsung 65W travel adapter, when i charge laptop with it.

I recently bought the Samsung 65W travel adapter. My phone supports 25W charging. When charging my phone everything is fine, but when i use it to charge my laptop there is a sizzling sound coming from the charger.

Is this normal?

Or do i have to get it replaced......

any idea why this could be happening?

I got my first android about a week and a half ago at this point. As a lifetime apple user, I am completely in love and converted!

With that being said, I've noticed my storage has been increasing by about 5gb/day. I've been trying everything research wise and just can't figure it out. I don't take lots of photos/videos, haven't downloaded any new apps after transferring my iPhone data with smart switch.

Well, I went to "apps," then filtered by size and including system apps that aren't showed. I found my phone/messaging storage has almost 26gb of data, while my Google messages app shows only 3gb of data. I cannot seem to figure out what this is. I've put in a ticket with the Samsung members app about 12hrs ago, waiting on a response currently.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

There is a dark spot which i have marked.

There is no lens protector installed and it is most likely a dust particle.

Can i know how much will it cost to repair it in India?

Thanks in advance.

Onu ui 9 overlay

I updated my S26 Ultra to One UI 9, and since the update, I have had this accessibility overlay on YouTube. I know it is not the YouTube app as it only started when I got One UI 9; it does not actually do anything, and sometimes it shows the video is paused when the video is playing. I made sure accessibility was turned off in YouTube and also checked my phone settings, but I could not find anything to turn it off, as it is only on a few apps like YouTube; it was also on Instagram for the first day after the update. I tried my best to disable it but could not find out how; if anyone can help, I would be really grateful.

Now bar

Why this Now bar is always sided and not centered in my S25Fe. Is this common or due to ONE UI 9 update? This is a new phone I bough 2 days ago.

RCS Messages Gone After Factory Reset

As the title states, after I had to factory reset my phone, I noticed my rcs messages were gone.

I've had my Samsung s25 for about 10 months now. When I set it up, I made sure backup was on both for my samsung cloud and google account. A few days ago, google messages was acting up, and after multiple attempts, calls with samsung care and with my phone carrier, my last option was to factory reset my phone. I made sure I did one final backup on both samsung cloud and google one. However, as I've restored my data, I noticed that I'm missing a lot of text messages I've sent and received after I set up this new phone. Did neither the samsung cloud or google messages save these chats?? Is there any way to get these messages back or are they gone? I'm just so confused because some text messages that were rcs chats are now mms (which is fine, but I'm confused why it's not consistent). Any help is appreciated.

Looking for Bluetooth selfiestick for A55

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a Bluetooth remote controlled selfiestick/tripod that can connect with my Samsung Galaxy A55. So far I've tried two selfiesticks, but they just don't show up in my Bluetooth settings. They show up immediately in the Nothing Phone of my partner. As far as I found this is a problem specific for the A55 and A56, very annoying.

I'm based in The Netherlands, but a lot of selfiesticks that might be recommended will be available here trough Amazon I figure. Thanks in advance!

Help with galaxy book 5 pro

I'm looking for a Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 14" with an Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD.

I've been researching this laptop for a while and it seems like the best fit for what I need, but I'm having a hard time finding a trustworthy place to buy it.

I don't have access to a Samsung store, and a lot of the websites I've found either don't have the configuration I'm looking for, have prices that seem unusually high, or don't provide clear information about shipping.

For those who own this laptop or have recently bought one, where did you buy it? Are there any reliable websites or retailers you would recommend?

Also, are there any sellers or websites that I should avoid?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Samsung Dryer no heat

Ok I need some assistance.
I have a model: DVE52M8650V/A3

So at one point I had no heat. I knew the dryer was out of warranty and I couldn’t shell out money for a new set (washer needed new suspension rods as well)
So I decided to YouTube university it.
Watched a vid on how to take it apart and do certain test for the heating issue. Found a broken heating element. Ordered off Amazon and replaced. The part came with a new thermal fuse and thermostat so I replaced those as well. I did a vent test with the dryer disconnected from the wall and got CL9 which was strange to me because taking apart the dryer allows anyone to clean as they go. I thought it’d clear as I use the dryer with new parts installed as the heat now works. Dryer worked for a few days before it stopped heating again. Did a vent test and still same code. Took it apart, did my test on the components and now the thermal fuse is blown.
I have an extra one but I don’t want to waste it until I get the problem solved as I’m still getting a CL9 error code.

Samsung Galaxy A17 Fingerprint Sensor Not Working – Getting “Restart Your Phone” Error

I'm facing an issue with the fingerprint sensor on my Samsung Galaxy phone.

Whenever I open Settings > Security and Privacy > Biometrics > Fingerprints, I get the following error:

"Fingerprint sensor not working. If this keeps happening, restart your phone."

Because of this, I am unable to access the fingerprint settings or register a new fingerprint.

I would like to know:

  1. Is this a software-related issue or could it be a hardware problem?

  2. Has anyone faced the same issue and managed to fix it?

  3. Are there any troubleshooting steps I can try before visiting a Samsung service center?

I have attached a screenshot of the error for reference.

Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Samsung Gallery Issues

Is anyone having issues with Samsung gallery? Multiple times in the past few months albums have simply disappeared from my gallery. For example I have a 2026 album and in that album I have nested folders for each month. I've had folders in them since January. I opened it today and only August and September are in there. This is not the first time that albums or pictures have disappeared.
