The particulars: - I have 2 phones (an S7 and an S7 edge) that connect to my home router via wi-fi and thus, through those connections, to the WAN. They had been doing so without issue since 2016. - Prior to this morning, my ISP's DHCP server would instantaneously assign my 'static' WAN IP to...

So I also have another phone, an S7 (non-edge), and it's running Android 6.01. Until earlier this evening it had version 110.0.0.15.69 of the FB app installed... which did NOT demonstrate the notification sound retention issue. The device has always worked perfectly in that regard. Since I...

And I have the very same issue on my S7 edge as well. It originally had Android 6.01 on it. The display went out so I shipped it to the Samsung repair center for a warranty repair and they replaced the screen. When I received it back, naturally it had been updated to Android 7.0. All apps on...

And I'm having exactly the same issue on my S7 edge. It's only Facebook that won't remember the notification ringtone setting. All other apps retain my chosen sounds perfectly. In my case -and perhaps in each of yours as well- the FB sound I've set will remain in place until I either stop the...

Never mind. It's apparently a bug in the latest public release of the Facebook app (v132.0.0.20.85). I've installed the current beta verson (v133.0.0.16.83) and the problem is gone. I'm sure it wasn't a borked download/installation of the app because the first thing I tried was a re-install...

Hello, I just found this thread. It's the only issue I've been able to locate that's similar to my own Facebook app notification sound situation. I realize this isn't the Samsung section and that my issue isn't identical to the OP's. But I'm hoping it's close enough to include here and that it...

You're right. It's an audio input related problem (i.e., microphone audio circuitry). My S7 experiences it as well. I think the reason we don't see much on the Internet about the issue is because many people aren't able to discern whether the popping/crackling is produced at the audio output...

I expect from the Internet connection that's provided in cell carrier data mode.

One would think that they would want to have the best company and the best-functioning software possible. They must have passed the too big to care point or something.

Well in my view that makes twitter's failure to resolve the matter entirely inexcusable. Twitter has to have been hearing about this a lot for quite a while. I was guessing the problem may have had to do with API changes between 5 and 6 and adaptability. In any case, that's simply too long for...

Indeed. Yet one more option would be to use one of the several 3rd party apps that are designed to access twitter's network. Presumably, all or most of them are not afflicted with any ringtone assignment issues like the authentic twitter app happens to be. As an example, I've tested Finch and it...

That check box was already ticked by default on my S7. Unticking / re-ticking it makes no difference whatsoever. Without installing a 3rd party app there is no way to change and save the notification sound for tweets within the twitter app itself. Another twitter update came out recently and, as...

Never mind. I just downloaded the stand-alone Flipboard app from the play store and it seems to work well enough.

I don't see an "activities" section anywhere within the widgets list on my S7. I'm using nova with prime and the flipboard briefing works fine when I switch back to touchwiz. Any ideas?

Glad to hear it helped. And thank you :)
