I'm having the same problem on a Moto G5s Plus running Android 7.1.1 As another data point, I sync the calendar with a CalDAV server, not with Google, I So I don't think it has to do with the Google account or syncing in general. Personally I think it is an obscure bug in the Android Calendar...

Caller ID really isn't a function of the phone, it's done in the network. I haven't tried but the bottom of this page tells how to turn on caller id blocking for verizon. Calling Features: Caller ID & Caller ID Blocking | Verizon Wireless

Not everyone agrees the SD card posed a security issue and thus don't agree with the changes. The files and folders on my SD card belong to me, not to an app, and I should be able to manipulate them with whatever apps I like. Google's changes completely broke a perfectly valid, and probably...

Thanks for the confirmation, panda. That makes me really sad. The combination text in the calendar and agenda at the bottom is why I liked their calendar app so much. :-(

The pic you posted is definitely the Samsung calendar and it is the same way I use it on my S3. I don't actually have an S5 to check but I found some screenshots here: Samsung Galaxy S5 review: Fab Five - page 11 - GSMArena.com If the pictures are accurate then you are right, it looks like...

That sounds like Samsung's calendar app (which can also sync with Google), not Google Calendar. You may need to go into the settings, select 'view styles', and set 'Month view styles' to 'Calendar view + list'.

I used to have this problem on my subaru wrx. To fix it I had to repair the phone to the car and deny the car access to messages (sms/text) on the phone. After pairing you should get a dialog on the phone requesting permission to access messages, this is where you hit deny. There appears to...

There are lots of calendar apps in the store. The only thing you can really do is download the trial versions and see what you like. I tried a bunch when I first got my S3 and surprisingly settled on the stock Samsung calendar plus Calendar Notifier to repeat calendar alerts until acknowledged...

I have an S3 too. There used to be a setting in the samsung calendar for the default reminder but one of the updates removed it. If you want a different default reminder you need to use another calendar app. I have no idea why they would change that. It's a shame because other than that I...

If you still have your S2 you can transfer your notes over using Note Everything Pro or one of the backup apps mentioned on their web site. SoftXperience - Backup SoftXperience - Support FAQ

I've only tried the Music app and some other 3rd party local music players. Only the stock Music app would send metadata to my car (subaru). I haven't tried Pandora or other streaming apps but your experience sounds consistent with mine. I hear Kitkat has some bluetooth enhancements so...

I see the same thing now that you mention it. It's odd, the limit in the first part of the message appears to be 90 but after you cross that it starts counting down from 145 for the second part, then 152 for the third. Maybe a bug snuck in. I'm not sure where to report issues with the app...

If you are trying to set the default you do not have to move the number. Just hit the menu button and select 'mark as default', then set the mobile number as the default. If you really want to move the number then you have to do it manually -- clear the number in the first slot and put the...

You don't have to create a gmail account for the play store! You can create a non-gmail google account if you don't want to worry about another email account out there. -- https://accounts.google.com/SignUpWithoutGmail However this still adds sync accounts to the phone. When you enter...

I think you can do what you want. I also don't sync anything with google. I have a google account to access the play store but I remove the account from the phone when I'm done with the play store to remove the google sync accounts. I don't like having the frivolous accounts on the phone so I...
