My S22 Ultra on AT&T updated to Android 13, UI5, and my Galaxy Watch 4 also updated. Certain features disappeared and I've tried every setting that my have gotten changed. I currently switch my Sym between 3 phones (in addition to the S22 Ultra, I have a Fold 3 and a Z Flip 5g), all locked to AT&T. The features that are important to me that seem to have disappeared are:
1. The bubbles and unread message counter on each app icon on the home screen are missing, and
2. The notification indicator on the Watch 4 does not appear.
I'm not seeing threads on this forum or Android Central describing this issue. Anyone else experiencing this and/or any ideas for resolving?

contact Samsung support please
Contacting Samsung was the first thing I tried. All I could find was the interactive "support" tab on the Samsung website. Absolutely worthless for understanding a problem let alone solving it. Do you have another way to contact Samsung support? A telephone number perhaps?
You cannot check which category of the app a notification is from anymore.
App icon badges with numbers is in the launcher settings. Long press homescreen and select settings
Well, that seemed to work. Thank you!

I recently installed Cyanogenmod 10 onto my S3 and it was brilliant. Everything I wanted from a rom, except the motions. I liked the Touchwiz motion controls and the screen controls (like taking a screenshot with a swipe or tapping the top of the phone to get to the top of a list). Is there an app out there or a rom similar to Cyanogenmod 10 with the added touchwiz-style functions?

I am on samsung galaxy s3 International build with cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly version of 28th June 2013. I love the mod but these are the shortcomings I face:
1. Settings does not have the motion "menu" due to which I am not sure how to calibrate the gyroscope etc. Its all off.
2. Due to reason one My google maps navigation is misguided.
3. I am unable to send contacts via normal sms. A lot of my family members use normal phones which cannot understand vcf or don't have net so sending contacts is painstaking as I have to copy paste each detail to a text.
If anyone knows how to solve these issues do let me know. If not then atleast let me know what is a proper place to ask them ... maybe guide me to a complaint/suggestions section of cyanogenmod community of devs.
So I've been giving KitKat a go today and so far I'm not 100% convinced.
While some things have improved, others have changed for the worse.
Or I'm just too stupid to find the proper settings?
1. The Email app
It finally got some love - Google has been working on it.
BUT - I can't select all emails in one account at once? Seriously? The app just downloaded 54 emails after setting it up and now I have to tap every single one of them to mark them as read?
Somebody please tell me I'm missing something here.
2. The sidebar for the apps that was introduced in Jellybean has disappeared. It wasn't an overly useful feature, but I did like it.
3. Contacts
I have yet to find a way to remove or at least reduce the size of the contact pictures.
Also, to remove a contact, you have to open it first. There's no menu when you tap and hold a contact anymore.
What changes do you guys like/dislike?
Did anybody come acrossed the above mentioned and found solutions?

I know. It's a little annoying. But the smart RAM Management is good.
I am okay with all of these as long as I get 4GB of Internal Storage....
I haven't missed the sidebar, it's still there. Unless we're talking about a different sidebar

I'm talking about the one in the apps screen, the one you get when you swipe to the left. It allows to change the order and uninstall apps. I haven't seen it in the Kitkat builds from AOSP for XL.

You haven't seen it as this feature is in launcher not the rom itself.
Try installing Sony Launcher from 4.2.2 and you will have it.
Alright, I thought about that but haven't looked into it.
Thanks
Does anybody know how to get rid of the avatars in the contacts?
Hello. I got the Gear S3 Frontier for Christmas from my girlfriend. She got it off eBay, and I believe it's either an Asian or a European model since it came with the European power plug, and instructions and box is written in either Chinese or Japanese. No big deal. Only thing that's bugging me is when I ask S-voice for information like weather, it comes in Celcius, and can't figure out how to change it, even though AccuWeather is in Farenheight. Any way to change this, or convert the software and firmware to US? Thanks
Have you tried changing the setting in the Gear app?
Launch the weather app (not the widget) and tap on the 3 dots on the right. This will bring up unit selection.
The weather app is fine..For some reason svoice gives it to me in celcius..I'll just open the app instead for now.
Guys,
Can someone help me on this
I have installed android P dp2 on my phone and in the settings I searched for overview option it shows that the option exists but when I click on that it goes to suggestions tab in pixel launcher settings and in that this both options will not show up and I don't know what is the problem. Can someone tell me what is happening?
that's a to be released feature.
For me is the same. Some people already have them, but if I go in launcher suggestions I only have one option instead of 3.
So yeah, I think we have to wait for now.
I'm trying to find an alternative launcher for my watch 4 that i can select as alternative launcher in watch settings. Does it exist? I would like to hide one of messages app ( Samsung messages and Google messages) from launcher but seems impossible...
I don't know, but I really hope they either offer a list mode like my Watch Active 2 had or an alternative comes along. I really despise the new launcher. I use XDrip (for blood glucose readings) on the watch and it has several components that get installed and they all have the same icon, making it impossible to know which is which. Not all icons are really self explanatory either.

Another fellow type 1 and xdrip user here!
I'm really hoping for an alternative launcher as well. One that is similar to wear os 2.0.
But when it comes to your specific problem have you tried just using wearable widgets?
I keep this as the first tile. I still get to have the watch face I want, but it's just a swipe to the right and there's my bg. It works very well.

I do use Wearable Widgets as well. It's also the first tile in my list just in case I want to change my watch face from XDrip. I find that it doesn't update that well or quickly though. I have to swipe to it and then wait for it to update. I should specify that I'm type 2, but bad enough I needed a Dexcom to monitor. It's been SUPER helpful to help control my BG and keep me honest.
