    Help writing a task or nfc tag

    Thank you for the reply. I have tried everything you have suggested and it still does not connect automatically. It will successfully pair with the radio and shows that auto connect is selected, however it still never connects. I have tried this MANY MANY times. I have to manually connect if I...

    Help writing a task or nfc tag

    I have a problem that I would like to solve and I believe I can do it with either a task or an nfc tag. I'm a junior android user which is why I'm asking. The aftermarket stereo in my truck is supposed to auto connect to my phone via Bluetooth when I turn the truck on, but it doesn't. I can...

    Bluetooth won't auto connect

    I didn't know about the nearby device scanning. I looked and it was turned on however I turned the function off, restarted the phone, turned the function back on and now it's auto connecting! Thank you for the tip! Seems to be working fine now.

    Bluetooth won't auto connect

    No power saving modes are on, and as far as other Bluetooth devices, well it depends on where I am. I don't own a smart watch and when I get in my truck there are no other devices around. When I'm in the house and say I turn on my jambox, (my home theater and Samsung TV have Bluetooth) it...

    Bluetooth won't auto connect

    I have yet to get my S8+ to automatically reconnect to Bluetooth devices. I first noticed it in my truck, I had an add on Bluetooth adapter hooked to my radio and after initial pairing it wouldn't connect when I would get back in the truck. I figured it was just a cheapo adapter and chalked it...

    Bluetooth text messages - handsfree

    2013 Ford explorer. Won't auto connect to sync or anything. Also in my F150 I have a aftermarket Bluetooth pod and it won't auto connect to that either, nor any other Bluetooth device in my house

    Bluetooth text messages - handsfree

    I am also very frustrated with this issue. It seems that for such an expensive phone many features just don't work well. Bixby is HORRIBLE for hands free texting. Message structure and speech is very awkward and not convenient at all. Cortana was flawless at this! Even installing the Cortana app...

    Why does my galaxy s8 blink while it charges?

    If you are using a wireless charger you may not have it aligned with the coils inside the charger. It will switch back and forth all night. A slight reposition on the charger may correct this. If you are using a cable to charge then I would guess it could be the plug on the cord or port on the...

    Free 100Gb OneDrive storage

    I never got this either, registered, installed onedrive, its been 2 months now with the phone. Would be nice to get my 100gb back. I had 1 year of 100gb when I got my Windows Phone and it was nice to know I wouldn't ever have to worry about it. I still have 30gb though. I know you used to get...

    Good Glass Cover for Galaxy S8+

    I got this one. It adds minimal bulk, mostly around the corners but still very slim fitting https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072BX6R1L?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6048776

    Good Glass Cover for Galaxy S8+

    I gave up on the glass screen protectors. Went through 3 and none stayed on. All of them only had adhesive on the edges so they just wouldn't stay. Tried 3 different brands, all the same. I finally found an alternative. I found the iblason case on Amazon. I'm not affiliated with anyone, just...

    Contact missing, but still there.

    Ok the flush and sync seemed to help. After the sync my wife showed up down in the S's!?!? So I looked at the contact info again. My wife's name is Ciara, but I was having a hard time getting Bixby to find her when I asked her to call Ciara. So in the contact info there is a phonetic...

    NFC while locked on S8 plus

    When I hold it up to my "WiFi Toggle" written NFC tag I get absolutely nothing, no prompt to unlock or anything, which from what I've read is because the NFC chip is not powered when the phone is locked.

    Contact missing, but still there.

    Yes, her name is in the name field. Also, because I'm using Google contacts when I am on my PC and go to Google and then the contacts area she appears in the favorites list, but not the regular alphabetical list. This is odd. I even tried deleting her completely and re-adding her info, still...
