Clearing Cache - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hello all,
Glad to be new to the Samsung Galaxy world!
Question, is there a way to clear cache all at once on the Galaxy S20+ without having to go into each app one by one? It's so refreshing to be able to clear all the waste data at one time in oppose to going through each app.

Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby / Power key.
When the Android logo displays, release both keys.
An 'Installing system update' message may show briefly before the Android Recovery menu options appear.
Press the Volume down key several times to highlight Wipe cache partition.
Press Bixby / Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight Yes, then press the Bixby / Power key to select.
When the process is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
Press the Bixby / Power key to restart the device.

Even Pixels don't have that option anymore. It's entirely possible it's starting to become an Android thing overall with newer devices and OS versions

you have to make sure to follow the sequence correctly and keep all of them pressed fo 5-10 secs
> Press power putton

After this you will see 3 options.

2 Register Hive= No --------------- should remain NO
3 Storage = No --------------------- change this to YES
*Use the Recorder Button to Scroll.
Use the Camera Button to change values.

Are you using a replacement battery? Not all are nfc capable. Also a case could block the signal, but you should still see the options.

[SOLVED] Notification Vibration doesn't work anymore

Hi,
I got a little annoying problem that I can't seem to get fixed.
I don't get any vibrations whenever I get a notification apart from Whatsapp and Instagram.
So Mail, Snapchat, ... nothing.
Notification sound does work though!
But I got some more information which might help troubleshooting.
I use Lightflow because I don't want to have the LED except on very certain apps and I disabled these really annoying Banner notifications completely with the ADB command "heads_up_notifications_enabled 0"
I am pretty sure that I had working vibrations before the ADB thing but I don't see a real connection between Banners and Vibration especially because WhatsApp works correctly, just everything else doesn't.
I tried this solution but it didnt work:
Code:
Go to Setting -> Apps, click on the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and select "Show system apps"
Scroll down and click on "BadgeProvider" app
In app properties, click on "Storage", clear both the Cache and Data.
Shut down the phone and following the directions below to "wipe cache partition".
Wipe cache partition
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.
When the Android logo displays, release all keys ('Installing system update' will show for about 30 - 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
Press the Volume down key several times to highlight “wipe cache partition.”
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight “yes” and press the Power key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, “Reboot system now” is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.

Telekom
Unrooted
ADB: Changed Banners and Ran the bxActions thing
I hope someone has an idea.
Thanks
EDIT: Okay it's solved. Apparently the mail program decided to switch the vibrations off by itself randomly and in Snapchat it was my stupidity to overlook the settings. Nevermind then
