    Samsung Messages & RCS

    I tried Google Messages and the RCS worked fine but I couldn't get any text alerts on my Samsung Fit 2 watch. A deal breaker unfortunately.

    Samsung Messages & RCS

    T-Mobile is definitely a leader in getting out in front with RCS. I'm with Verizon and they claim it only works for the S9 & 9+.

    Samsung Messages & RCS

    Locked to Verizon. They claim RCS only works (for Verizon) on the S9 & 9+. It also says as much in their website. That's for Samsung Messages not Google Messages which now works on any platform.

    Samsung Messages & RCS

    I just started using Samsung Messages on my Galaxy S10+. I don't see the chat option under settings. Does anyone have RCS working with Samsung Messages yet? Thanks for any help.

    Thinking about upgrading to S10 from S8. How's that fingerprint sensor working these days?

    The fingerprint scanner is actually quite accurate. Rarely does it not work the first time. Wasn't like this when I first got the phone 3 weeks ago. But at least two updates to improve it were released and I also followed some tips from online. I'm using the original screen protector that the...

    Samsung trade in

    The previous Samsung Trade-in last year was a disaster with many many people getting ripped off by this. Not only did they reject the trade-in but kept the phone as well. Filing a complaint with the BBB worked for many of us including me. The reversed their position and credited the trade-in...

    Turn off "Do Not Disturb" persistent notification

    I used to use Do Not Disturb all the time on my phone (get my notifications from my watch) and never could get rid of the constant notification showing. Even the SystemUI Tuner app couldn't defeat it.

    No new message vibrations

    After much playing around with it, it appears the Do Not Disturb on my phone was causing the issue. Not sure why it just starting happening as I've always had DND on the phone. I would just use my watch for notifications, etc. Strange...

    No new message vibrations

    Send as though after an update yesterday I now no longer get vibrations for new notifications. I tried _everything_ multiple times but to no avail. Anyone have an idea of how to get this working again?

    S9/S9+ Annoyances

    You can disable the high volume warning with the Samsung System UI Tuner app available in the play store. There's a bunch of other things you can do with it as well. I also use it to hide the battery and alarm icons.

    Screen protection thread. Help!

    I second this recommendation. A breeze to install and works perfectly around the edges. I even had one on an S9 I returned and reused it on another S9 with no issues. Highly recommended!

    Galaxy S9 Facebook Notifications

    That's strange. I don't use the stock launcher but double check in your settings to make sure Facebook is enabled for the notifications. There may not be such a setting, idk. If this really bothers you a lot you could change launchers. Nova is great and would solve the problem. It's available in...

    Galaxy S9 Facebook Notifications

    Which launcher are you using on your S9? I get notifications on my Facebook icon using Nova. I don't use it but would imagine using the Samsung Experience launcher would also do it.

    S7 to S9

    I'm seriously considering moving from my S7 (regular not the edge) to the S9. Is this upgrade worth it? I really like my S7 but I like some of the new features on the S9. Also, has anyone done this as I be would be interested to hear what your experience has been. Thanks!
