Re: Tech-Free Holidays: Tips for Unplugging and Reconnecting
This year I created an advent calendar with activities instead of candy. When it is time to pull the activity for the day, we put aside our devices. My kiddos are little, so the activities only take about 15 to 30 minutes, but it is a great time to connect and create memories.Tech-Free Holidays: Tips for Unplugging and Reconnecting
The holiday season is a time for joy, warmth, and most importantly, connection. While technology has made it easier to stay in touch with loved ones and manage our busy lives, it can also be a source of stress and distraction. This year, consider taking a tech break to fully immerse yourself in the festivities and create meaningful moments with your family and friends. Here are some tips to help you unplug and reconnect during the holidays. First, set clear boundaries for yourself and your family. Decide on specific times when everyone will put away their devices, such as during meals, family game nights, or movie marathons. Communicate these boundaries early and often to ensure everyone is on the same page. You can also create a "tech-free zone" in your home, like the dining room or living room, where devices aren't allowed. This will help create a more relaxed and engaging atmosphere, allowing you to focus on what truly matters - spending quality time together. To make it easier to stick to these boundaries, take advantage of the focus settings on your devices. On an iPhone, you can enable "Do Not Disturb" mode, which silences notifications during designated times. To set this up, go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb and customize the schedule to fit your holiday plans. For Android users, the "Focus Mode" feature allows you to block distracting apps and notifications. You can access this by going to "Settings" > "Digital Wellbeing" > and then work time, me time, or game time under Focus Mode. You can select the apps you want to allow during your focus time and then choose start. These settings can help you stay present and engaged without the constant interruptions from your device. Finally, find other activities that everyone can enjoy together. Plan a board game night, a craft session, or a cooking challenge. Take a walk in nature, visit a local museum, or attend a holiday concert. These activities not only provide a break from screens but also create lasting memories. Remember, the goal isn't to get rid of technology entirely but to use it in a way that improves, rather than detracts from your holiday experience. By taking a tech break and reconnecting with those around you, you can make this holiday season one of the most memorable and enjoyable yet. Tell us in the comments how you like to get a little time away from the screens.Happy Thanksgiving!
It is that time of year again when we prepare amazing meals and spend time with loved ones. Every year I have my own little debate. This year I figured I would bring the friendly debate to the Community. Tradition or trying new things? The traditional Thanksgiving meal is always delicious and something I look forward to for weeks. It can be stressful to make a meal large enough to feed that many people, but the familiarity holds a sense of comfort. And with the amount of leftovers.. the possibilities are endless! Ever had the urge to put tradition aside and try something completely different? Shake things up and try a meal no one would expect. Go on a trip to see new sights. Or keep it quiet and casual with a simple movie and popcorn. I'm curious to know what you prefer. Has there been a spontaneous change that became a tradition in your family? Tell us all about it in a comment below.Welcome to the new Community!
We are so happy that you found your way into the new community. We're always looking for ways to improve your experience, so we did a little remodeling. The first step was updating the website's location to T-Mobile.com/community. If you have any bookmarks or saved links, it'd be a good idea to update those, so you never have to worry about getting misdirected or lost in cyber space. You may have also noticed that things might look a little different. We tried not to make any drastic changes, but little things like the icons, avatar bubbles, or a few other things have a different theme or may not be in the same place. Got questions about the new look or layout? Let us know in the comments.Re: One UI updates for S21 Ultra.
Hi @badpiggA year is a very long time to wait for an update. The updates are ultimately rolled out by device manufacturers. They don't do it all at once, but it really should not have taken a year. There could have been some systematic confusion because the phone is from Verizon but being used on T-Mobile. The Samsung website has some troubleshooting steps to use when an update is released byt not showing on your phone.Software update failed on Galaxy phone or tablet. You can also find steps on how to force updates using SmartSwitch or a computer.How to update your Galaxy phone or tablet I'm not sure when the UI 6 will be available, but you might use the Samsung website to keep an eye on when it does release and try the steps for manually updating.
