still gets put on a new page. i thought it was because i disabled briefing or some other apps to get rid of the default thing where you swipe left of assistance but that didn't work. i even tried adding a page and moving all of my icons to that page and leaving an icon in the bottom right of...

I even just tried changing the screen grid size and moving things back and the new app still moved to the next page

Sorry, i should have included some info in my first post. i have a galaxy s7 running android 6.0 good suggestion! i just ran a few tests and you're right. i usually have my camera icon in the lower right so i removed that icon completely and installed a small app to test and the icon appeared in...

yep, they are empty, i have all widgets turned off at all times, and i can even drag icons around to those spots without other things repositioning(this shows they really are empty)

So this started happening a few months ago. When I get a new app, a new page is created and the app shortcut icon gets moved to the new page even though there are two(2) empty spots for the icon on the home page. This didn't happen when I first got the phone. And it's super annoying because I...

I have a feeling this is a problem with the screwing around with the OS that t-mobile did when they usually add their bloatware in. This is just a guess but it seems like the problem is because i had lock screen notifications set to Hide Content when i was on 6.0 but that options stuck when i...

Yes, i'm able to see my gmail popups and previews just fine

I can't believe i left that out. sorry. i have a samsung galaxy S7 with t-mobile. non-rooted

I'm not sure if anyone understands but I'm not trying to back my phone up. Link can be used outside of your network to transfer files from your home pc to your phone. Neither smart switch nor side sync do this

Hmmm... just tried out SideSync and it seems pretty nice to be able to control my phone from my PC but i'm not sure if i would ever use that again. But it doesn't replace Link. Link lets you have file browser access to all files on your PC and pull files without needing to be on the same...

Not sure what you mean. 1) You don't use smart switch to pull files from your PC. 2) Smart switch isn't on the Play store for the S7. It's built in now.

I have had my phone since 2/29 and I cannot figure out how to get Samsung Link working like I did with my old S4. It used to be a snap to get files from my PC to my phone with Link. My troubles started when I tried searching for the Link app on the play store but couldn't find it. So I had to...
