I finally figured it out, thanks! I did change my Samsung profile picture and at first that didn't help, but when I went back to my contacts and tried to share my profile, I discovered that it was still showing the donut even though I'd removed it from my profile picture. I scrolled through the...

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S9+ yesterday and it's a lot different from my old S6. One thing I can't figure out how to change is my texting icon. I'm stuck texting as the donut. I went into my contacts and my profile picture was indeed the animated donut, but no matter what I change my profile...

I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 running *shudder* Nougat, and I just bought a brand-new, still-in-the-box-sealed-shut, not used or refurbished or open-box, Samsung Gear S2 (not the classic, the one with the smooth silver face and white silicon wristband). All was well for the first day other...

I ended up solving this myself. I set up the accounts manually (something that wasn't possible before due to Yahoo's security--you HAD to log in through Yahoo's portal to set up). Samsung adds their name to the beginning of the incoming and outgoing server names (i.e...

Stock Samsung email app with 2 Yahoo email addresses. I got to the sync information through the account settings within the email app. I tried deleting both accounts from the app and now when I try to add an address to the app, I go through the usual process (it routes me through Yahoo's login...

This morning I couldn't the stock email app to check my email. I literally had not touched my phone since the last time I'd checked my email last night, when it worked fine. After a long process of elimination I finally gave up and answered a text message, at which point the damned Nougat...

I work for a small-town, low-key agency that supports adults with disabilities to live in their own homes, and our staff are scattered at houses all across town. We have always maintained a casual family-style atmosphere. Texting meets our communication needs just fine other than the group MMS...

Sometimes my job requires me to send text messages to all of our employees, but some of them, for various reasons, can't receive or read MMS messages. It's also annoying when they reply and everybody in the group gets a dozen texts saying "okay" or "I'll be there" or worse, something private...

Thanks for your response. I'm the original poster. I know how MMS is *supposed* to trigger, but I'm getting the pop-up screen about the IMS error even when I'm not composing a long message or using a non-alphanumeric character. Back when my phone was running Lollipop, it sent group texts as MMS...

I have the newest Chromecast (think it's 2nd gen), Samsung Galaxy S6 (still running Lollipop), and the most up-to-date version of Localcast. Twice now I've managed to watch Netflix and Amazon Video on my TV and listened to the audio on my phone's wired headphones. (Haven't been able to use...

How do you do that?

Yes, but clearing the cache from Aquamail and other apps doesn't affect the typing history that's already stored in the keyboard. It also remembers everything I type in the browser and clearing the keyboard data doesn't erase that, either. The only thing that seems to get fully deleted from the...

What I'm looking for is an app where you choose the contacts to send a text message to, type in the text, and then the app sends the SMS message to one person individually, then to the next person individually, and so forth. Bonus points if it allows you to enter more than 20 contacts at one...

I've been trying to figure out for weeks how to remove things from the predictive text dictionary. All the instructions I've found have had some version of long-pressing on "Predictive text" in the settings menu, but all that does for me is toggle it on or off. It doesn't open a new menu. I...

I edited my post for clarity, but yes, the phone needs to be unlocked.

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 from T-Mobile. After a massive amount of misinformation from customer care, I canceled my account before the phone was active for 40 days. In addition, their computer system is telling them I never received my phone even though I had it in hand and read them...

I'm upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S3 to the S6 (not Edge or Active) with the 5.1.1 update. I'm frustrated by a handful of things I use a lot on my old phone that don't seem to be there on my new one. One thing that's really aggravating me is the native calendar app. On my old phone, when I...

Thanks for the responses. I originally posted this question because time was an issue. I wanted to test the Straight Talk SIM in my T-Mobile phone before T-Mobile's "buyer's remorse" period ran out and I thought I had to have the phone back in their hands within 14 days of when they shipped it...

I just got a T-Mobile Galaxy S6 and I really like the phone, but I don't like the new bill! I've been on Straight Talk (Verizon) for a couple of years now and am happy with them except for the lack of Verizon coverage at my new office. T-Mobile finally upgraded to 4G LTE in my town and I'm happy...

I just got a Galaxy S6 on T-mobile after a couple of years with my old beloved S3 and although there's much to love about the new phone, too, I've found several frustrating changes and I'm on the fence about keeping it. One thing I haven't found a solution for: In Jelly Bean, Samsung's stock...
