    S7e & Verizon-can't block SMS spam

    I have only the default SMS app. "messages" Orange Icon with white text balloon. I searched & found some similar posts from years ago. Some say Verizon removed the ability to block text messages to force you to buy their SMS blocking service. IDK if this was or is true. I usually get a spam...

    Moving photos from S7e to computer with Smart Switch

    I’m the OP & am a man. Still no success. Today I took 5 new pix & when I went to transfer to my Mac, I found 2 of the new ones in the middle of the list together & 3 several items down the list. IDK how they are organized but it is very annoying I cannot click or Rt. Click the column headings...

    Moving photos from S7e to computer with Smart Switch

    Thanks for the replies! I already knew that once I moved the pix to my computer they would all have the same date regardless of when I actually took the photo. That is not my issue. Even though it is annoying. If I have 100 photos stored on my phone & I take 4 new pix today. I want to use...

    Moving photos from S7e to computer with Smart Switch

    I have photos saved on SD card so after connecting my phone,I select Card/DCIM/Camera & I get a window with all my JPGs & I can drag them to copy onto my computer Hard Drive. The problem: I cannot change the default order of the long list of photos. There are 3 column headings; Name, Date...

    S7e Phone not sending DTMF tones?

    Thanks for the correct testing #. The Test Call can correctly receive all my DTMF tones. But so can the other automated services. Why can no one I call, with my cell phone, hear my DTMF tones? I read the Cox telephone with ADT thread. Good idea to consider this. I called my alarm company & the...

    S7e Phone not sending DTMF tones?

    Does not work. Says not enough $ in my acct. to place this call & when I press #, no effect, press 8, no effect. However as I stated earlier, I AM able to use automated systems; Verizon, Samsung, AT&T, etc. with my cell phone. My conclusion is that an automated system is different vs. an...

    S7e Phone not sending DTMF tones?

    I just called Cox phone tech support. They never heard of this issue & also do not think it is their modem or service. Everything points to Android v.8. It must mute DTMF tones once the call is connected. I think Few customers have landlines anymore & of those, most have voice mail service...

    S7e Phone not sending DTMF tones?

    Thanks for the reply. No, I cannot try my answering machine at someone else’s house with landline service. I have Landline telephone service from Cox Cable using their Cisco Cable modem for both Internet & phone. Had this modem for more than 1 year. Also had Samsung Phone more than 1 year...

    Test your phone

    Yes, I have another post all about that issue. This post is to see if Android v 8 users will do the test I describe above. ======================================================

    Test your phone

    If you have Galaxy S7e with Android v. 8.0.0. Call someone, anyone, ask them if they can hear the tones when you press a few number keys. I bet they cannot. You will hear the tones on your phone but, if you have v 8, the other party will be unable to hear any tones. If you have an earlier...

    S7e Phone not sending DTMF tones?

    Update-Summary My Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge no longer can send DTMF tones to an answering machine! Ever since the Android v.8 update. I need to send tones to access voice mail, on my answering machine, when away from home. It worked fine for years with this same cell phone & my AT&T 1739...

    S7e Phone not sending DTMF tones?

    I had a friend try with their Samsung Galaxy S8 with Android 8.0.0. Did not work! So if you call AT&T answering machine from any non Android v 8 phone, it works fine. Use any Android v 8 phone & AT&T machine will NOT work with remote codes. This v. 8.0.0 update did something to break the...

    S7e Phone not sending DTMF tones?

    Update: Since the Android update to v. 8.0.0, My S7e will not work with 2 different AT&T Answering machines. This same Samsung phone DID work fine with the AT&T machine until the Android update. The AT&T answering machines do not respond to remote commands when I press keys on my Samsung phone...

    S7e Phone not sending DTMF tones?

    Strange issue. May be related to Oreo v. 8.0 update? When I call my home answering machine, from my cell phone, I need to be able to access my answering machine & now I cannot. Need to press numbers, generating DTMF tones that the machine can recognize. Keypad tone is turned on & I can hear...

    Fast charging broken after Nougat

    My fast charge is broken since 7.0. takes hours to charge from 60-100%. in the past when pull down menu, can touch to see how long to fast charge & it was fairly accurate. maybe charged a bit faster than stated. So If it said full charge in 35 min it may actually be 33 min. Now it will say...

    Hate the New update 7.0 on the S7 Edge

    I dislike 7.0 as well! harder to see, different icons on pull down screen seem smaller & blue against white background hard to see. Fast charge completely broken, takes hours to charge from 70-100% (Yes, fast charge is turned on & I use Samsung brand charger & cable & worked great with...

    Samsung won't take my Note 7 back. What would you do?

    Contact Samsung directly. Have you IMEI #s & your receipt/proof of purchase. They have a new department just for exchanges & you can arrange for their partner "Stericycle" to exchange the phone for you (Perhaps for a direct refund?) I'm doing this to swap for an S7e & they will send a check...
