    Question Where is "Caller ID and Spam Protection?

    Ahh...bastards. On your advice, I did check for the VZW Call filter and it's there and active. Thanks for the info!

    Question Where is "Caller ID and Spam Protection?

    It doesn't show up as an option in call settings at all. It should show up as an option where the highlight is in the screenshot.

    Question Where is "Caller ID and Spam Protection?

    Hi, all. I'm watching a video about setting up my S24+ and there is a clip about turning on Caller ID and Spam Protection. It's supposedly under Call Settings, below the Block Numbers option, but my phone doesn't have it. I have a U.S Verizon phone. The Software version shows OneUI 6.1 and...

    Samsung Contacts vs. Google Contacts

    Hi, all. Moved from my beloved Note 9 to the S24+. Most of my photos were stored on my Note's SD card, which I did not have ported over (they are backed up elsewhere). I get that I'll have to reinstall photos of people whose pix I want to display in Contacts and Messages. I've run into a...

    Pixel 4a/5g suddenly can't text a certain person

    Thanks, all, for the comments. I ended up deleting and re-adding his contact info, and deleting our prior message thread, and that seems to have settled things down.

    Pixel 4a/5g suddenly can't text a certain person

    Hi. I have a 4a5g that has been working flawlessly. Both my husband and I are on Verizon. About 2 weeks ago, my text messages quit being delivered to my husband, who has a Galaxy Note 9. Messages in a group text WILL be delivered, but single messages to him fail. Both phones are up to date (me...

    No voicemail notifications

    OMG! I finally found the solution. I had to go into my actual Plan through verizonwireless and turn ON the feature to both block Visual Voice Mail and Premium Visual Voicemail. As soon as I did this, my badges and notifications started showing up. Here's how: Log into verizonwireless on your...

    No voicemail notifications

    Hi, all. Note 9 on Android 9 (Pie) on Verizon - U. S. user. When I receive voicemail, I do not get any notification (badge; icon in notification bar). All I get is a "missed call" badge on the phone icon. Googling doesn't get me to my specific phone/carrier combination for solutions. Under...

    Camera can't choose which lens to use?

    I was not zooming. Today, I took the time to long-press on the screen to indicate the area of focus/exposure and the fluttering stopped. Good photos again. :-)
