i think i might have figured it out. if i make a call and go on mute during the call, and end the call still on mute, then the next call i make I'm still on mute, even though the mute button does not show as ON. i consider that a bug. i will ahve to test it more but it just happened. the...

Before I upgraded to Oreo, if I wanted to put a photo in a text message, i could tap on the photo icon and select photos to attach. there was also a way in there i could preview the photos in full size instead of thumbnail. i could scroll thru all my photos in full size and tap a checkbox on...

this is happening fairly often. I make a phone call and the person can't hear me. they get silence. I reboot the phone and then it works. does this happen to anyone else? what is causing it? how can i fix it?

i have had two numbers on the same phone for a long time. it worked great when I was on Verizon for one and Voice for the other. they were kept completely separate. in fact I could call one number from the other and leave a voicemail. now i got off verizon and switched to Fi. Google is...

thanks but it is a brand new phone with almost no apps on it and I don't have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or anything like that. And, when I actually grab the phone to see if anything happened, there is nothing there. if every one of these things was a notification, I would be getting...

I have a brand new Moto X4 with Oreo 8.1. I have noticed that when the phone is just sitting there, with no one touching or moving it, the screen flashes on for a few seconds over and over again. Sometimes it is every ~2 seconds, it flashes the basic screen that just shows the current time and...

here's an update. i have tried another computer and it works fine. so there are now two computers that work and just one that doesn't. i talked to Motorola and they had me try a few things: -- I installed Motorola's Device Manager -- I turned on developer mode and enabled USB debugging...

brand new Moto X4. my desktop (PC) doesn't recognize it for file transfers. when i first plug the phone in to the computer, it is set to charge only. I change it to "transfer files" and nothing happens on the computer. the phone does not show up in the file manager as a device. I tried...

thanks for the replies. to clarify, my car does not have any kind of system in it that could be upgraded. I am just using my phone's microphone, or sometimes the microphone that is built into a headset. I can talk with someone on the phone while I drive and the connection is good. I can do...

Hello, I am having this issue whenever I'm in the car and trying to use voice-to-text it is HORRIBLE. The other day, I tried to have it type out the word "beautiful" as I was driving. It took 10 tries before it got it right. It gave all these responses first. It's kind of funny but very...

It is a samsung S5. I have been googling it and apparantly some people are saying it has something to do with the Peel Remote app... one of those "features." and if you disable (can't uninstall because it is built in to the OS) the problem goes away. I disabled my Peel app but I have not...

I have not spoken to Verizon. I figured they would say it's something about my phone, since my neighbors are not experiencing the problem. And since I didn't buy the phone from them they would tell me to talk to Samsung or the place I bought it. I will try the advanced calling setting, I have...

hello, I recently started getting new battery reminders. They come up too early (when there is 30% still left) and they have suggestions on how to reduce power use and they basically lock the phone unless I hit "dismiss" or "OK do all". This is a real pain when I'm out running and I only have...

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. I am having a problem... every few minutes when I'm talking to someone they say I start to sound like a robot and the "reception" goes out. it only lasts for about 15 seconds. It happens every 10 or 15 minutes and it is very annoying. It happens...

Hello!, my screen comes on automatically all the time which results in many pocket calls and pocket texts. I need to disable this "feature!" I did some research and found it is called Ambient Display and it is supposed to be in Settings > Display but it is not there on my...
