I mostly use my phone for business, and need to be able to see both business names and the contact name when someone calls or if I'm looking for someone. But as it is, if I put the contact name in the "Name" field and the business name under "Work Info" then all that shows when they call or int...

On this particular trip (and the previous two), I was travelling internationally with limited to no data. Most of the time I couldn't access Google Photos at all, so the editing and categorization (moving to albums within the Samsung Gallery) was all done on the phone. Now I'm home and...

I have a Galaxy S23. While on trips, I take a lot of photos and categorize them into albums while on the trip. This is great for ME, but Google Photos and OneDrive both sync the photos in one big list without retaining the album categorization. I need a cloud option that will sync my pics and...

I have a Galaxy S22 with T-Mobile. It was Sprint until they merged with T-Mobile in 2021. I don't get many calls, but I've had a few recently that left a voicemail and I had no idea. No notification or anything, so it was just by luck that I found them. I have Visual Voicemail installed, and...

I'm testing out something that might work... but I'm still in the early stages. First, I set up my Windows 10 computer as a Mobile Hotspot, then connected all of my devices to it instead of my phone. Then I connected my computer to my phone's mobile hotspot. Then I had to go to Control...

That's too bad :( I live in a rural area so there aren't any public wifis around or anything. The only DSL provider that comes to my home is CenturyLink, and the highest speed they could offer is 6M... but it often drops down to 1M (or less), so I'm constantly buffering. At least once a week I...

I'm hoping to eliminate my home DSL and just use my mobile hotspot, mainly because the speed is about 5 times faster!. Only problem is that the most data my provider offers is 100G /month, and I currently use over 200G through my DSL :eek: Once I go over 100G, they'll throttle my speed...

I have unlimited data on my phone, and get about 17Mbps. But I live in a rural area, and my regular home DSL internet service is only 3M... on a good day. Sometimes it drops well below 1M. Is there a way that I can connect my phone to my Wifi router to use as my home internet service?

After the recent update (Oreo, I guess), the Always On Display now shows a new icon that's a circled battery with "100" in the middle. It only does this when the battery is at 100%. I hate this, because it constantly looks like I have a Messenger or Snapchat notification when I don't. And it's...

That's how the default setting was, Cowboy, but it gave the same white box and showed the name of the sender. Changing it to "Hide content" just changed it so that the name didn't show, but I still get the white box. I also use the TextFree app, and just last night discovered that it does the...

None of my other messenger apps do this, just Snapchat. When the phone is on Always On Display and I get a message via Snapchat, I get this big white box on the screen that says "Contents Hidden". I don't want that, I just want the little ghost icon to pop up... just like all the other apps do...

I've had a 4S for several years with no problems, and I convinced my MIL to get one. Naturally, there are problems! LOL Just to make me look like an *****. When I plug the phone in, the upper right light comes on, the brightness increases, and it flips to WiFi automatically, so it's...
