    Google calendar notifications not working

    Google calendar and the stock calendar are the only two I see. Both have full permissions and notifications allowed. I've tried disabling the power saver stuff relating to calendars, and disabling the power saving function completely. It just won't work. I've been trying to find another...

    Google calendar notifications not working

    Galaxy S7 Android version 7.0 For years, I've had my calendar set to send me a notification for events both one day before, and two hours before. A few months ago, it stopped working. No more notifications. I checked the calendar settings. Nothing had been changed. I eventually reinstalled...

    Tab S 10.5 vs Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2

    I'm a bit new to tablets, so I'm looking for some advice. I want to be able to play games, and watch movies in high quality. I'm not sure which way to go here. Which is faster? I don't know how to gauge/compare the cpu speeds. Which has longer battery life? Thanks for any input.

    Google autosync mysteriously off

    I just gave up, and today it's suddenly working again. I have no clue what's up with this thing. I didn't touch anything else. It just decided to stop giving me alerts for four or five days, then start again. I have no idea why, or how long it will last.

    Google autosync mysteriously off

    Bumping for ideas. I have every option I can find checked to alert me to new Gmails, but it flat out refuses to alert me when I have new Gmails. I can manually check my inbox through the Gmail app and see that there are unread emails, but there are no alerts of any kind anymore.

    Google autosync mysteriously off

    I'm not sure what's up with it at this point. I appear to have found a way to turn autosync back on - when I go to the directory where it used to say autosync was off, it now has a green sync logo, and the date and time it was last synced, but I'm still not getting the audio alerts, or any...

    Google autosync mysteriously off

    I noticed I hadn't received any Gmail alerts on my phone in a couple days. Checked my email manually and sure enough, there were a bunch there. When I go to apps > settings > accounts/Google, it has my account at the top, and "Sync is OFF" underneath it. I've looked through every option I can...

    Smart Notify help

    That one seems to be working better. I'm getting the one-minute alerts for missed calls and texts, but not Gmails. Any ideas about the Gmail alerts? I'm just using the stock Gmail app that comes on the phone in the Google app cluster. Thanks again.

    Moto G - Missed call/notification sound?

    There's also no notification for a missed text. Just calls. So no alerts for missed texts or Gmails. Anyone know how to set this up? Thanks.

    Moto G - Missed call/notification sound?

    Seems helpful. I'm a bit of a phone noob though and can't seem to find any setup for it after installing it. It did make a 'ping' noise about seven minutes after a missed call. It didn't give any alert for a new Gmail after several minutes. I can't seem to find a guide or any instructions for it.

    Moto G - Missed call/notification sound?

    Just got a Moto G through Boost. Is there any way to set this thing to periodically play a sound or vibrate when I have a missed call? I obviously can't see the blinking light or the notification message when the phone's in my pocket, and I'm in and out of noisy areas, so I don't want to miss a...

    Receiving an attachment

    Okay, probably a dumb question, but this is alien technology to me. On my Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I got a text message with a paperclip icon to the right of the contact number. I assume it's an attachment. But I see no way to open/view it. I think it's probably a picture, but it doesn't even tell...
