    Phantom Notifications on S9

    I wasn't getting those types as you know what they are. The default notification in setting was going off on my phone and I had no idea what was causing it. Normally facebook has a different sound. Whatever was going off was using the sound in the default notification as I was changing my...

    Disappointed in battery life

    I noticed battery life on my ATT S9 was not as good as my S8 also. There was an update I installed yesterday as well. Not sure what fixes were in it. https://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S9-Plus-battery-life-test-results-comparison-vs-s8-iphone-lg-pixel-note_id103071

    Phantom Notifications on S9

    It isn't NFC as that is the first thing I turn off. I use a weather app and widget so I don't know if it could be the built in weather app or not. Also mine seems to have settled down where it isn't doing it anymore. There was also a firmware update I did last night from ATT. Not sure what...

    Best Cases for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+

    I've been using Caseology Parallax cases for my last 3 phones. GS7, GS8, GS9. Love them.

    Phantom Notifications on S9

    I used the cable and smart switch both times. The last time I only did photos and media. I had to redo all my settings. Over the past 2 days, it seems to have quieted down. I don't think it will be an issue any more, time will tell.

    S9 where are the stereo speakers?

    So according to all the websites both the S9 and S9+ were to have stereo speakers, one on the top and the other on the bottom. Where is my speaker cutout on the top of the phone for the speaker? There isn't one. Am I missing something?

    Phantom Notifications on S9

    That didn't seem to fix anything. I was still getting notifications and decided to do a full wipe and start over. The only data I restored this time was my pictures and video files. No settings, no apps, etc. I am still getting these phantom notifications occasionally but it isn't constant...

    Phantom Notifications on S9

    I use textra. I did go into the default messaging app and there was an unread message in there so I cleared that. I'm hoping that fixes the issue. Thanks.

    Phantom Notifications on S9

    Transferred all apps from old S8 to new S9 via the cable and I'm getting a lot of phantom notification sounds. Guessing it may be an app. Not sure how to find the issue.

    Vanished weather widget when using Nova launcher

    Thank you. Glad I found this when searching. I used a very old weatherbug apk that had a really nice 5 day weather widget. It doesn't seem to refresh correctly on the S8. Oh and this bixby bloatware has got to go. I don't know why these manufactures keep insisting on adding more junk...

    5.1.1

    I keep having calls dropped. No issues before the upgrade. I also use package disabler. I enabled everything g before the upgrade and imported my settings after the upgrade. It is getting annoying that calls are being dropped. Anyone else? Posted via the Android Central App on my GS6 Active

    Guess I'm going to leave AT&T if we don't get 5.1.1 by the end of the month.

    I think some talked to at&t and they stated the Active should be getting 5.1.1 by early November. With all att rollouts you can bet there will be issues. The price you pay be getting an att branded phone. The only reason I got this phone over a nexus is the larger battery. I'm tired of wasting...
