Also when I go into -X-plore file manager - I see a Folder called Bin - but it says Access Denied - Any body got any clues ??]]></content:encoded>

I assume i can&#039;t use a powerline adaptor as that needs  wired to device .Or do i need to get wifi -repeater ?- and i assume that would mean connecting wifi repeater to the router ?]]></content:encoded>

So far I&#039;ve tried the default that came with my Samsung S21 Ultra but it is really slow and doesn&#039;t synchronize all data (messages with attachments) but only seems to synchronize headers of the newest messages.

I recently bought a 200gb sd card that works great with my phone. I tried recently formating the sd card as internal storage so I can have more room on the phone (wanted to see how much room I could get). I noticed afterwards that none of my mp3s would play. I rebooted the phone, still the same thing. Vlc media player and files by Google say that the mp3s are not playable. If I format the sd card back to external, the mp3s play fine. The mp3s are stored...<br />
