    Notifications Sound...

    This may sound "lazy" but this is all so ridiculous. I shouldn't have to swipe anything, or have an "either/or" situation. please don't miss understand, Im NOT lashing at you all in any way.

    Notifications Sound...

    I'm Having the exact same issue. I need my earbuds to be paired and connected for most the time, but cannot have them in ears at all times.

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Way to skip contact list to compose new text?

    Sry for late response. williams448: Maybe. That'd be really weird. Either way it's frustrating. Jewels81: Im more inclined to agree that it's an OS/update feature change. But it's a toss up. Please help me find out if there is any way to change this. Samsung, Best Buy, and Verizon are all...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Way to skip contact list to compose new text?

    I just got the new Galaxy S8 Plus and there is a slight adjustment to composing new texts that is driving me crazy that I hope someone can help me with. I use Samsungs "Messages" app for all my txt messaging. Always have. Previously if I wanted to compose a new text to a new recipient, I open...
