I was having the same issue with my S7 Active and i was losing between 1/5 and 1/10 photos. I followed a suggestion on the internet to wipe my cache partition and in the few days since, i have not lost a single photo.

I think perhaps more troubling, today I was searching for a contact-it could not find it. I could find it by scrollling down through contacts, which takes a while since I have 2,400 contacts. I use Microsoft Exchange. Things like addresses show on Outlook on my PC, they do not show on the...

Yes, there are workarounds. But since 90% of my calls go to a favorite, it seems a foolish item to have made more difficult to use. Do other people not use favorites for calls?

My S7 Active updated last night and I was also disappointed that they did away with Favorites in the phone app. If you open contacts, there is a really tiny star on the right at the top of the alphabet used for jumping through the contacts. Tap this and it will bring you to the top of the...

I suspect so, as photos are saving instantly, whether I save to the internal memory or SD, and were not previously. Apparently photo storage kept defaulting back to the SD every time the SD card was recognized again and likely was trying to write to the corrupted SD card. Too early to know if...

I tried disabling the Gear S2, no difference.

I tried changing permissions, etc on the phone and the Sony program, and at one point actually was able to leave a message at my office suing the hands free mic, but have been unable to duplicate that event, so I know it is a software issue with the phone. It could also be an interplay with my...

I pulled the card, emptied it off, and then reformatted it. Haven't had an SD card notice since, so I suspect it was either some not properly seated or something had corrupted the card. (At one point I had a file locker program, but got rid of it, perhaps there were vestiges of the program on...

Well, I am thinking it may need a different permission to send audio to the phone than it needs to accept audio from the phone-it has no issue playing music or the audio from the phone-which arguably require the same permission.

I will try that. I was looking at permissions for the Sony App that comes with the radio called SongPal. Oddly, SongPal's permission to access the phone was not checked off, so I need to see if that was the issue. To complicate matters, i also have a Gear S2 watch that connects to the S7...

I have a Galaxy S7 Active. Occasionally, i will take a picture and hear the confirming click and it appears as a tiny thumbnail on the camera app until another photo is taken. Then can't be found in gallery or using the file access on the phone or SD card. I tried switching storage from the SD...

It shows it is connected both for media and for phone. Separate little icons.

Not dumb at all, but yes, I did-I even tried muting and un-muting it. There is also a gain control that I have also tried adjusting, to no avail. Makes me crazy when I am driving, the phone rings and suddenly switches to the hands free mode with the radio, but no one can hear me, so I have to...

I have a Samsung S7 Active which used to connect very well with my Sony Bluetooth radio (MEXN5100BT), and make and receive calls. Suddenly, I can hear the party on the other end, but they can't hear me. The radio has a separate mic, which works fine. I tried another car stereo with the same...
