I'll second that e-motion, dlalonde. Any and all worthwhile input is welcome here. :-)

Thanks, CWinkler. Yeah, fun it isn't, especially when trying to remember just what I had, and where on those screens pre-reset. :-) Still, hopefully(!) this issue has reached its end for me, and neither it, nor anything else (dare I wish for that much?) will rear their heads anytime soon...if...

No intrusion at all, CWinkler...this conversation is indeed open to all. :-) Anything is possible, CWinkler...I might have accidentally pressed an incorrect button, pressing the power button second instead of third might have forced the factory reset (I'm speculating) because the home button...

Thank you, dlalonde. I hope so, too. I will definitely recheck the sync-ing once I've gotten the phone reasonably close to how it was before (i.e., reinstalling and reconfiguring the apps, and also reconfiguring the phone as well). If the problem recurs, I'll be back to repost again, I...

Hi, dlalonde, and thank you again for your quick follow-up. I've had this phone now for 4-5 months (I got it during December 2016). You could be right about it being defective, but, I'm hopeful (what else could I be?) that, though it will be a pain in the neck (and, though I stopped it as soon...

Hi, dlalonde, Well, I watched the video and tried to wipe the cache but, unfortunately, it looks like I reset the entire phone, instead. I think I pressed the three (3) keys, and held them, in a different order than what the video described. I pressed volume up, then power, then home (instead...

Thanks, dlalonde. I'll give it a try and let you know what happens. Bram

Hi, again, dlalonde, and thanks for following up again with me about this. I can tell you that SolCalendar isn't showing events, but neither does Samsung Calendar (I saw an empty month when I opened it to test it as you asked earlier). Again, though, please note that I don't think this is...

Thanks for following up, dlalonde. My apologies as I missed the link the first time around. I read the article now, and, after launching Samsung Calendar, looked at "Manage Calendars" and found that all sliders were set to "on", so I don't think that was the cause of my issue. (Please note...

Hi, dlalonde, and thank you for responding to my post. First, to clarify, I haven't been using Samsung's Calendar app. I've been using SolCalendar (from the Google Play Store). Nonetheless, in Accounts, the sync-ing for Google's Calendar can't seem to work right...it shows a stable...

Hello, For some time now, for reasons I don't understand, my 4-month-old Samsung Galaxy S7 (which now has Android 7.0) has had great difficulty in sync-ing with Google Calendar & Contacts. * I've tried manually forcing the sync to happen in the Accounts --> Google area...no luck. * I've tried...

Why are an app's Android 7.0 Nougat notifications limited to < = 8 ... and only the most-recent 8? Hello, and thank you for reading my post. In Android 6.0, which my Samsung Galaxy S7 used to have, notifications for, say, Twitter, would be limited to 50 (aside: any idea how to increase or...

Thanks...I'd love to...if I had something I could use for it ;) I've seen sun shades at Amazon but (1) they seem to be only for Landscape orientation and I tend to keep my phone in Portrait, and (2) they seem to cover the screen (as in, shield it from glare)...I was hoping for something that...

Thanks, again, nahoku. I can't say for certain (I've had this model for, I think, a little more than three {3} years) but yes, I believe that, under circumstances similar to what I described above (i.e., daylight driving in warm weather), the phone has generally been prone to overheating all...

Thanks, nahoku. To answer some of your most-recent points: * My carrier is Verizon Wireless, too. * It's not that I DON'T use Google Maps, but I'm more fond of Waze as a navigation app, in case that matters (though I presume it doesn't...not for this discussion anyway). * Of course I charge...
