    T-Mobile Galaxy S8 Missed calls and voicemail not showing up in notifications

    I'm having similar issues with my T-Mobile S8. I do see missed calls, but I do not get voicemail notifications. Took me a few days to realize this was happening. I'm usually pretty good at figuring these types of things out, but I have not been able to solve this. If anyone has advice, please...

    Fingerprint sensor not working well after nougat update

    I came from a galaxy S7 edge to the Honor 8 back in November and the thing that impressed me the most was the speed and accuracy of the fingerprint sensor. I found it to be far quicker and more responsive. I also really liked the gesture abilities, particularly the swipe down for notifications...

    MMS picture quality Honor 8 AT&T

    I started a thread on this topic a couple weeks ago. Find that and you should get some help. Long story short, you may need to change messaging app and then fiddle with the compression settings.

    Positively or negatively, what makes your Honor 8 better than other Android phones?

    Exactly what I was going to say. Love the sapphire blue color also.

    Can't decide between H8 or Moto Z Play

    I did have some Bluetooth issues when connected to my Acura Rdx where the connection was very crackly. I couldn't solve the problem for about a week then the phone randomly suggested I clean my memory and it resolved the issue completely. Funny thing is during that time, it worked perfectly...

    Fingerprint sensor slowing down?

    Mine is super snappy and very accurate. I find it to be far superior to the fingerprint sensor on my previous device, the S7 edge. I think having it on the rear and a circle is part of the reason it is more accurate.

    Just found the perfect tempered glass, no halo at all

    Thanks for detailed instructions. I have never been good at this but think I'll give it a try. How much did it cost?

    That does look pretty good. I may have to consider this....

    MMS images are very grainy using Google messenger

    In the Textra app, not in the phone settings. In the main landing for Textra click the triple dot in the top right and then select MMS

    Can't decide between H8 or Moto Z Play

    I love Moto software and definitely would have gotten a Moto Z if not for a couple problems. First, location of fingerprint sensor. I find it cumbersome to use the bottom front the phone for fingerprint. The rear of the device is much more natural. I understand the mods eliminate this...

    Thinking of getting this device

    I love mine. Battery life is tremendous and you really can't get a better phone for the price. However, my favorite quality is the overall size. 5.5 inch screens have too big a footprint and I find too difficult to use w one hand. At 5.2 inches and slim bezels, this phone is just the right size...

    Wow. Probably won't actually get one, but I have to try this! I'll see if I can convert my wife from her s6 edge to the Honor 8! Absolutely loving my Honor 8 so far!

    MMS images are very grainy using Google messenger

    Update #2: Totally disregard my previous note on Textra MMS settings. Apparently only T-Mobile customers would receive the MMS with those settings. Changed MMS settings to "carrier send limit 1MB" and "MMS behavior legacy" then enabled their T-Mobile WiFi fix. I just sent some photos to my...

    MMS images are very grainy using Google messenger

    Update: Using Textra with the correct settings works well. Still not perfect, but pretty good. Changed the Textra MMS settings to "carrier has no data limit" and chose "system" option over "legacy" option. Will test it further for the next few days and offer another opinion.

    MMS images are very grainy using Google messenger

    Agreed, but sit tight. I'm testing Textra now as some have suggested and some fiddling with the settings in Textra may have solved the problem. I'll update soon. Also, I would think you'd have the same issue w the Axon 7 since it is an unlocked device and probably doesn't support advanced messaging.
