It also seems the Samsung Store no longer carries the Samsung Notes app.
Further adding to my joy, the backup I just did (including apps) COMPLETELY failed to apparently backup OR restore Notes...so after uninstalling its all just...GONE.
Passwords, info, y'know...ALL my notes for things I NEEDED written down & thought were secure, hence why I even USED the app.
All gone.
At least I didnt take Samsungs advice & only uninstalled the 1 app after backing up, rather than their prescribed factory reset (which is apparently easier & more reasonable to do EVERY time they update rather than to expect them to just make an update that ISN'T a live grenade).
So we are going Fred Flintstone with pen & paper/ONLY making digital notes on PCs w opts to copy direct to drives, screw apps.
Too unreliable. Too restricted. Too "burned me already".
THANKS for yet another EXCELLENT update I just simply could NOT have lived without, guys. Next time why don't you just come by & burn the house to the ground?!? It'd REALLY help~
(PS atop that my phone is running hot enough to fry an egg nonstop since update too, so that MAY be possible still, dare to dream - yayyyyyy).
TIPS:
Fire your update staff for being incompetent A-holes.
ONLY update when ACTUALLY necessary (literally only just had one before this last one that RUINED my schnikt).
Make updates that DONT destroy YOUR OWN APPS. A quick 5 minutes looking into the topic (which I did after all Hell broke loose) will show this is NOT a new nor isolated issue. As I said: LAZY.
Make backups that, I dunno, ACTUALLY BACK UP.
Give advice that ACTUALLY works & isnt completely stupid. Also helps if I can FIND it again, since reply showed up in notifications w a gmail sticker...but just guess what is NOT in my gmail. Like, ANYWHERE (I know as I searched extensively)???
If at all possible, try not to convert peoples devices into thermonuclear energy plants with how hot they run after one of your godaweful, useless updates.
& finally/MOST important of all: commit seppuku for what you just did to me, my notes & my device.
Btw, you shouldn't write passwords down on Notes as it's insecure. Use an app like 1Password or Bitwarden (I personally use Bitwarden) to do your password management for you.
@Jokkir well they're pretty secure now...even I can't get into them since they no longer exist.
I think I'm good on the app, as is an ongoing issue I see MANY others also experienced but Samsung cant be F*d to bother fixing
...not into backing up/resetting whenever they want to update (w is the prescribed fix that was found by somebody who ISNT EVEN a Samsung employee [RedDog or something I saw credited somewhere], they care so little)
I just wont use apps. Good riddance.
Thanks forbthe link tho/appreciate it.
It was a great app TBH...I just cant have it breaking all the time simply because Samsung cant be bothered to sort it out/update properly.
It also seems the backup option (including the bit with "APPS" specifically in a selectable category) does NOT backup Samsung Notes (y'know, THEIR "APP") & you instead need to back THAT app up via OneDrive or it just doesnt seem to work/fails to back notes up anyway.
...which is just...an UTTER marvel of digital ease & engineering & altogether wonderful in how stupid & useless that entire affair actually is...
Yeah, done with apps.
Maybe I'll come back when the neurons have begun firing again over there at Sammy HQ~
