    AT&T - How To STOP SPAM Texts From Email Addresses...

    I can't take the credit for this as I found the post on how to do this here... ...but I did find out what the 3rd option is (apparently it allows you to send emails via text) and like the OP, I didn't have AT&T enable it. So I'm referring to SPAM texts that don't have a phone #, only an email...

    Call Recorder - SKVALEX (Pie Update)

    2020 Update: Re: Call Recorder - SKVALEX (Pie Update) Here's an update on using the Call Recorder - SKVALEX app since I swapped SIM cards with my wife and started using her Note 8... It's almost the middle of September in 2020 and I'm still using Android version 7.1.1 (Nougat). It's...

    AT&T Network Limits # Of People For Group Texts...

    Thanks for the tip about adding the SPAM emails to my contact list and then block the contact! Nice! So far, to get around the 10 people group text limit, I downloaded Google Messages and used it as default and I was able to reply to the group text of 13 people! So maybe this works b/c it's on...

    AT&T Network Limits # Of People For Group Texts...

    I tried replying to a group text of 11 people (using the Samsung native text messaging app) but here is the popup box that appeared (see pic below)... AT&T told me this limit is to protect against SPAM texts and there is no way to remove the feature or increase the limit from 10 to 15, etc. I...

    Quick Maybe Crazy Question...

    It turned out great! It truly was that simple... just switching the SIM cards. So I've been using my wife's Note8 and it still is running Nougat simce it never receives updates and I know this is crazy but it's the truth...I couldn't be happier! All what I need is in my apps which always get...

    Call Recorder - SKVALEX (Pie Update)

    Sorry for the confusion, actually in that thread the "setting" I was referring to was the one found in (Settings>Recording>After-call actions dialog) and I simply figured out I could uncheck the box to stop a popup window. Sorry for the long post. I did this for anyone else going through...

    Quick Maybe Crazy Question...

    One more thing I just thought of... Is the over the air update tied to a SIM card? My wife's phone won't update but my phone never had this issue, so if I put my SIM in her phone I wonder if I'll start being prompted to update to 8 or skip to 9? Hopefully not but I'll see.

    Quick Maybe Crazy Question...

    Great, so then I can simply take over her phone? That's exactly what I want to do. So I think my steps to do this would be... 1. Back up both phones. 2. Do a factory reset on both. 3. Swap SIMS and then restore the backups. ...of course when I restore the backups, I'm restoring my backed up...

    Quick Maybe Crazy Question...

    If I swap my SIM card with my wife's SIM will her phone get my calls, texts etc.? Basically turn her physical phone into my "network" phone or whatever you'd call it? She has Nougat (and it's stuck on Nougat - it won't receive over the air updates for whatever reason) and this is what I want...

    Call Recorder - SKVALEX (Pie Update)

    Reply From Developer... After doing a factory reset last night and testing more calls this morning I emailed the developer some of my recordings to show the issue I'm still having. The app technically works when I don't use a headset but when I do use a headset (which is what I need for work)...

    Call Recorder - SKVALEX (Pie Update)

    Thanks again for helping me out with this! I did a factory reset and the first app I installed was SKVALEX. It does work better when I make calls but the issue is still there when I make calls with my headset. The recording of the other person can barely be heard. When I don't use my headset...

    Call Recorder - SKVALEX (Pie Update)

    Ok, so it's still apples to apples. The only difference then is when I use a headset, which is most of the time. I hear nothing from the other caller when I do. This was never an issue before but then I tested the headset on my wife's Note8 (she's using the same app version as us) and it works...

    Call Recorder - SKVALEX (Pie Update)

    Thanks for confirming! I'm on AT&T too which is nice to compare apples to apples. Just to clarify, I'm having issues with the latest version I installed yesterday (3.1.3). I ended up installing this b/c Pie ruined the last version I was running which was 3.0 (Beta 10) so I had to update. BUT...

    Call Recorder - SKVALEX (Pie Update)

    This app has worked great since I've been using it on my Note8. There have been some glitches over the past year or so but when all worked perfect - I disabled the auto update in Play Store (if it ain't broke...don't fix it, right?). So up until now I was using version 3.0 (beta 10) on Oreo but...
