I went thru best buy so I have a walk in samsung center somewhat near me that maybe can help out. So I'm on the phone with ATT last evening at home where I get great reception and all of a sudden I see the "+" symbol. I turn on airplane mode and wifi and everything works like a champ. The att...

Does the replacement process go thru ATT or directly thru samsung

I did try the network setting reset first. Sometimes it seems like it works and many times not. I never see the "+" symbol. I tried to make a call today with no reception and about 6MBPS wifi speed and just get emergency calls only. Brought my old LG in and the "+" symbol is always there and...

I'll give that a try. I thought that was that it will directly call the contact on the screen as compared to directly answer the call. Thanks,

I assumed that was a feature on samsungs in the past. It was on all my Lg's that I've had. And it wouldn't automatically answer until about a 1/2 second after I had the phone fully up to my ear. If I didn't put to my ear it would just go to voice mail.

I have an ATT model and I never see the wifi with the + symbol up top ever. ATT said I should be good to go. I guess I need to do a factory reset. What is the best way to back up and restore to get the phone as close to back to my current setup as possible. Samsung backup?

I don't see this setting anywhere. Can you tell me how to get to that setting. And if a factory reset will do it I'll do it for sure.

Do you get any kind of indication that it is using wifi calling in the top.

It sure is aggravating that each year one way or another these phones keep going backwards.

I will need to call ATT I guess. I have tried different wifi networks. Do you guys see a wifi calling icon or symbol up top? At times mine has seemed to possibly work but never saw any indication it was using wifi calling for a text message or call. Other times I have had zero reception but a...

I have Att and really need the wifi calling. My lg g5 did this very well at my poor reception work. I would see the wifi + Icon all the time. Now I never see the icon and maybe it works sometimes but many other times it does not. Is anyone else having good experience with wifi calling for calls...

Is there an option that I'm missing to just lift to ear to answer an incoming call? My G5 had that and was very convenient.

Does anybody know of a case that has squared of edges and sides like an old iphone 5S. That shape is just easier to get a grip then all the rounded edges. I have searched and just can't find anything.

Thanks for all the ideas. For now what is working OK for me is the option to not fully unlock when screen turns on. This allows me to double tap the home and still see the lock screen and its notifications to dismiss or then open. I will look into a few of your other suggestions. I think I'm one...

Ideally I would like to receive a text message, get a popup that stays there. Dismiss it or open the text app from the lockscreen. I just want a simple interaction like apple. I do want to do it with the samsung message app so I can use WiFi calling/messaging which I might add currently is not...
