    AT&T Galaxy S8 Phone #'s no longer a active link since Oreo

    Just strange it was implemented with the Oreo update and not a Gmail update. To me its a much needed feature that I now need to use a 3rd party email app. I should have the option to turn on/off hot links and not have Google choose for me

    AT&T Galaxy S8 Phone #'s no longer a active link since Oreo

    Since Oreo phone #'s are no longer a active link in my emails. I can highlight the phone # and "phone" option shows up but before all I had to do was touch the number and it activated phone dialer. I have looked through the settings for hours and can't find anything. Numbers via Gmail desktop...

    Notification Manager needed

    Does anyone know of an app that allows you to assign a ringtone/notification to specific apps? I have an app (Amazon Seller) that has its own notification sound that can't be changed. I can only turn off notifications which I don't ant to do. I am a large Amazon seller and the thing goes off...

    Huge Problems After 4.4.3 AT&T Update

    I can confirm as well with a hard reset the phone is back to better than normal. Actually a bit more snappy and battery life as good as ever. I would like to bill AT&T for the 5 hours it took me!

    Notifications Profile App, what do you use?

    Coming from a G4, I had used a quite effective profile app that worked great, not so much on the M8 (Quick profiles). I can't find one that I can set up to ring only, quiet, silent etc. Looking for suggestions. Thanks

    Battery drain with new update

    Android rooting dummy here. What do I have to do BEFORE I jump in a root to "unNamed 2.1.1"? Since the update my battery life is so bad I have to carry a spare battery. I lose 25% in a few hours, nothing running, ram cleared and on standby. Guess its time i jumped into the rooting game. Thanks...

    Samsung Kies OR what a piece of schiesse.

    Interesting,I keep reading the same type of post but Kies works for me without issue. I like the interface and the ability to not need a USB plugged into my PC. Plus on my network its pretty darn quick to transfer very large photos.

    Non-USA Firmware; What To Do?

    Well, I got my issue resolved. After a wasted hour on the phone with Motorola, I went back to Amazon and found out the seller/supplier was sending out units with UK firmware and UK plugs that maybe fakes. There are no IMEI or ESN #'s on the back of the units either. Amazon refunded my purchase...

    Non-USA Firmware; What To Do?

    Interesting, I have the same unit and issue with an amazon supplied Xoom. Trying to work it out now with Motorola since Amazon was clueless and wanted me to send it back to Motorola and wait weeks for my tablet. Amazon did overnight me a new charger, but everything else is as you have described...
