    See list of members of message group I didn't set up

    I know who they are. I want to be able to see the list of people in a particular group so I can contribute to it.

    Set bringhtness and have it never change

    I know that is how it is supposed to work. I know I am not fumbling enough to go to settings and push that slider to on, but I may be pressing some of the buttons on the sides of the phone. I'll ask at the phone store the next time I get a chance, and if they have a solution I will post it...

    Set bringhtness and have it never change

    Auto brightness is set to "Off." This setting seems to determine whether an app can change the brightness. The event I am describing involves me fumbling with my phone.

    Need instructions on albums in new version of gallery

    Rukbat, thank you for your reply, but it didn't hep much. I ended up piecing together several bits of advice and got it to work. First, I found that in Gallery I need to long-press on a picture to get a check-mark beside it, then click the three dots in the upper right to get a menu. That led me...

    Need instructions on albums in new version of gallery

    My S& Active gallery app updated awhile back, and everything in the manual and on the internet does not match the screens I see now when i try to create an album and move photos in to it. Can someone please post step-by-step instructions? I did not mark this as "ask for help" because that does...

    SamsungS7Active soemtimes does not send text messages

    I posted this to Ask A Question, but can't figure out how to respond when B Diddy responded with a question to me. So, sorry for the repeat, but at least I have figured out that the little gear icon leads to signing in and participating in the forum. Anyway, over the past two weeks I sent some...

    I don't like that Gallery photos pop up an option to delete.

    ...then they scroll to a new photo and there it is again. I guess the answer is to use another gallery app. Any suggestions on one that functions as I have wanted this one to?

    I don't like that Gallery photos pop up an option to delete.

    Thanks, that is a start, but I'd like for the message box to not pop up. At the very least it is a distraction.

    Want phone to stop asking me to comment or providing unasked-for information

    I'll pull out my phone because it is ringing or I got a text ding and am confronted with a message asking me to take a picture of where I am and post it, or to read an ad for something near me. It's often o.k. with me for the phone to know my location, but do I have to put up with this if...

    I don't like that Gallery photos pop up an option to delete.

    I'm still getting used to this new phone, and one thing I don't like is that when I call up a photo in Gallery it is quickly covered with a big white box offering the option to delete the photo. I can't hand the phone to naive users or children for fear I will lose what I want to keep. On my...

    Samsung's Nougat weather widget change (returning to previous one?)

    Thank you for asking this question. I had unintentionally deleted the weather widget and didn't know what to call it (didn't know it was the *Samsung* weather widget...) . Your question led me to the instructions for getting it back. Now, I want the weather widget to always show my home...

    Two nougat update problems

    Nougat re-set several of my settings. I see that some people had re-sets that I didn't and vice-versa, so maybe the re-sets are a bit random as to which app is affected. Problem is, some of these I never had to set, the phone came the way I wanted it (in those cases), so I'm having to figure...
