    Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T530NU) "gapps" and "Play Services" stopped

    Have a Galaxy Tab4 that has been factory reset (using both the menu item and booting into recovery mode "wipe data/factory reset"). When it boots, I get the same few messages repeatedly: "com.google.process.gapps has stopped", and "Google Play Services has stopped". It never stops repeating. It...

    Carrier name disappeared from top of screen

    I think I was neither clear about the issue (my fault!) nor possibly even correct! On my S7's lock screen, I can see the "T-Mobile" name at the upper left corner of the lockscreen. I thought I remembered seeing this same name in the same location on all "pages" in the launcher app and, since...

    Carrier name disappeared from top of screen

    After a recent update from Samsung, my S7 now does not display the Tmobile name at the top left corner of the screen. Nothing is showing at the top left. I can't seem to find a setting to restore this. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Do Not Disturb Until Next Alarm - Missing in Action

    Looks like Motorola has abandoned "DND until next alarm" in their iteration of Android 7. See here: https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/cell-phones/android-series/moto-g-plus-5th-gen/documents/MS116327 You may turn on DND "until you turn it off" or "for X# of hours" but not "until...

    Do Not Disturb Until Next Alarm

    My Nexus 5 is on the shelf and the Samsung Galaxy S7 I'm using doesn't support "Do not disturb until next alarm" (which, on the Nexus, then automatically turned off DND). In the discussions about Android 7+, I haven't seen any mention of this feature any more. Has Google abandoned it? If it's...

    Do Not Disturb Until Next Alarm - Missing in Action

    Okay; I'll bite. Please suggest -which- "external app" will handle automatically turning off DND upon the alarm firing. I've found none so far. Thanks.

    Do Not Disturb Until Next Alarm - Missing in Action

    Just downloaded the Galaxy S7 user manual for Nougat (directly from Samsung). "Do Not Disturb Until Next Alarm", a feature that has been included with "genuine" Android phones (Nexus 5 and newer, for example) since Marshmallow, is still missing from Samsung's phones. It's obvious Samsung...

    Do Not Disturb in Marshmallow - are those people morons?

    Switched to a Samsung Galaxy S7 and discovered that Samsung doesn't have DND until Next Alarm! This was obviously by choice because Marshmallow has it now but Samsung has evidently removed it for some unknown reason. I've asked Samsung customer service about this and no one there can provide...

    Whatsapp Notification Issue

    You might try force-quitting the app in the Samsung Settings, then uninstall it. Then re-install it. I've checked my WhatsApp settings and can't find any options there except the one choice for notification sound and the one I select works as expected.

    home key as a capacitive button?

    I like easyHome but it will occasionally stop working even though the app shows it's started. I have to stop and start the function within the app and then it's back up 'n running. Wish the dev could fix this (others complain about it, as well) but until something better comes along, I can live...

    Would you get rid of S7 edge for a pixel xl?

    Just got a new S7 and discovered that "Do not disturb until next alarm" was removed by Samsung. Probably going to return the phone to the store and get a Pixel. Or are there other worthy phones that actually come with the same standard Android features (like DND until next alarm)?

    All Things Nougat; android central articles on nougat in one place

    How about "What recent devices it won't run on." IOW: "Why my one year old Nexus 5 was the most expensive smartphone I could buy". Considering Nougat won't run on my Nexus 5 (which I bought right before the 5X was released last year), that makes my one year old Nexus 5 a pretty darn expensive...

    Notification bar, home and recents not working, how to fix them?

    I have experienced the "this is where your recent screens appear" issue. In another thread it was suggested that turning off the "OK Google" trigger for voice recognition would provide a work-around. (Using the microphone icon to initiate voice commands allegedly does not cause the "recent...
