    So not disturb still broken

    I'm now on an S25 running Android 15. This problem is posted here somewhere and I cannot seem to find it. I set my exceptions for calls and messages and they continually disappear and this is real inconvenient. Why is Android not addressing it and where did that long ago post go? I add...

    Do Not Disturb phone ringing issues?

    Thanks for the assist however I found a post elsewhere via searching and it seems to have fixed it. "Check the Do Not Disturb settings. Hide Notifications. Under "when the screen is off", make sure those two options are disabled. Hope this works for you!" Now I only turned off one option...

    Outlook App Notifying of Old Emails

    So this post is a bit old, but is it me or is this still not fixed? When I get a new email on one of my accounts if I still have emailed marked unread in other mailboxes I get a new notification as well on that account. I have 3 accounts running on the app (love it) but this is driving me a...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Oreo Installed - Pocket Dialing on the Rise!

    I recently received Oreo and amongst a host of issues with it so far, by far the biggest issue I seem to have is an increase in almost pocket dials. Thankfully I have my phone set to prompt Carrier or Google Voice or I might be calling all sorts of people. I have had the phone set up for a...

    My individual contact notification tones disappeared after updating to Oreo?

    I use to user Verizon Messages + and when you delete it, it deletes the notification. But I am finding this is with most of the 3rd party apps. Please oh please do not make me go back to Apple! I have been reading this forum and I have to say, you may be upset about this, but to me it never...

    Android Oreo rollout resumes for Galaxy S8/S8+

    I received my Oreo update on March 23 - S8 w/ Verizon. I myself believe battery life has suffered a bit, not overly drastic, but enough for me to notice. The bug which I see noted in other areas online of all my notifications coming in when DND turns off has to be fixed. I do not need 10-20...

    Default Message App and Custom Alerts

    Why is it that we have gone this long where Samsung has not provided a way for a Custom Text Tone to work when receiving the message from an email address? This is something that iPhone has done for years. When I use to have an iPhone when I set a custom text tone for a contact it did not...

    Can't send or receive MMS

    The last 24 hours on VZW I've been missing text messages. I also have an S7 and not having an issue but also do not receive as high a volume on there. I also believe some of my alerts are from email and are to the VZW MMS address. Definitely caught my attention. Not aware of sending issues.

    S8 Recent Update

    I don't know what I did, but started checking settings and then all returned to normal. So much so that I feel.the display is more crisp as whwn I first bought the phone. Didn't think I changed anything, but glad it's all back.
