    Notification sounds

    Bit of a delay in replying. This is still happening, I don't want to mute notifications, but there are times when I don't want a full volume Facebook notification. Any ideas folks?

    Notification sounds

    Thanks for the reply. Couldn't see a way to do that, I do agree that it seems like an app issue though. Facebook splits notifications into 18 categories, I've now changed all of them from "app provided" to "default notification" sounds. I'll see what happens & post in a couple of days (beer...

    Notification sounds

    I like these and most work as expected, at the volume I set. But. SOME - not all I think - Facebook notifications come in at full volume if the notification volume is set at anything above mute. No other apps affected. Restart didn't help. Any ideas as to how to fix this? On Oreo 8.0.0 if...

    What Keyboard is best?

    Cleaning up contacts

    Weirdly, when I checked, the old ones are gone from my PC now (google contacts), I've deleted them on my phone gain (Samsung contacts). I'll see if they stay gone this time. :)

    Cleaning up contacts

    Hijacking the thread a little here, sorry. I have the opposite problem; I clean up contacts on my PC, get rid of old ones, but they come back, presumably when it syncs with my phone. Any ideas how to make them stay gone? Thanks

    Note 8 having problems Switching from Wifi to Cellular

    I've noticed it on my last 2 phones too. It seems that, if it can "see" any WiFi that's in it's memory, it doesn't switch over to mobile data. It thinks that, because it's connected, that's OK, even if that WiFi is too weak to use. If anyone has a solution I'd like to know too.

    Note 8, Night Mode

    Just ask Bixby to do it.

    Long shot.

    You could try a force stop/re-enable on the launcher. May not help, but quick & easy to try. Fixes some things.

    Interesting, reading this thread, I checked my phone. Set to download automatically, but hadn't. Started when I hit the manual option. 560Mb btw, unlocked, in Thailand.

    What is this symbol?

    If you use your s-pen on magnify, it helps to see these.
