    S6 Edge Plus notifications

    My phone is just 3 weeks old. The notification on the edge screen never lights up under people or apps. They are turned on. Samsung said do a flash reset, did, didn't help. Even missed calls or messages don't show up if i.missed one.

    Can I choose which apps run automatically on my Galaxy S5?

    I have a S5, soon after i turn my phone on i see several apps have opened without me opening them. Any way to prevent this? I think this causes my battery to run down. Today in standby it went from 100% to 73% in less than 4hrs. Could these apps cause the battery to rundown quicker? Thanks, Tom

    wifi issues

    My phone won't stay on my home network. It keeps going back to 4g. It says connected but shows 4g on my screen. I removed the battery & reinstalled it but it does the same thing. Samsung says do a factory reset. My wife has the same phone but no issues.

    can't send a message

    Samsung said to go into settings, App Mgr. & clear the data. A Verizon forum said maybe it wasn't syncing. I tried both, now i think my wife's phone is ok. Not sure if one or the other fixed it or not. If these steps don't work maybe try another msg. app. Good luck.

    can't send a message

    On my wife's S3 she can't send a message. The phone acts like it's freezing up. It has a blue circle in the bottom left corner going around & around. I did a restart & soft reset, but still has the circle.
