Note 9 Contact List

[mustang7757]

Brad does Att still have Att address book in contact apps ? Its been awhile since i been on carrier firmware.

 

[Brad Bilger]

I can't find that contacts app is either the play store or the Galaxy store. I can find one in the Galaxy store that has that name, different icon and the publisher is someone's name.

I mean it use to be in the settings i forget the phone app or contact app and caused problems in past Samsung device syncing

 

[Brad Bilger]

I've told it use Google listing. Blinks. Told it to use Samsung listing, blinks. I tried a new contacts app, no blinks, but crappy app. Sigh. LOL

 

[mustang7757]

I was hoping the att address book wasnt activated or Sync contacts

The only mention of the contacts app in settings is under the category "apps" and it's shown as a standard app.
I'm thinking the security update that I got in August had something to do with this.

LOL. The flashing continues. On all contacts. Here, I'll give you an idea. Watch the whole thing. It's 2 minutes long

Thanks. Have you tried creating a new contact to the local contacts account? Or to your other accounts if you have any?

 

[Ben xfg]

But yeah could have been a bad install of an update.

Good thought. Opened PHONE account. No entries. Created test.... Blinks. Sigh

Bad update of the security file? How would one go about reinstalling that?

 

[mustang7757]

You would have to flash with Odin and search that previous firmware on SamMobile

 

[Brad Bilger]

Oh, I was afraid you'd say that. LOL. I had to force feed my 9 updates for about a year due to some software glitch before it finally got settled down and started doing it right. Well Samsung's latest response sounds like the standard ending hoping that I'll forget all about it evidently.

"Thank you for using Samsung Members App.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Please be informed that we have raised this issue to our developers for further evaluation. Once an update becomes available, we will get back to you as soon as possible.
We appreciate your patience."

We'll see. Thanks guys.

Yeah if you want to try figure it out if latest update created this it's about the only way , Samsung I'm pretty don't care about support on that device at this point in time.

Ya think? LOL. I just spent about 40 minutes trying to track down which recently installed app planted a bug which caused a pop-up for several of my most frequently used apps. The bad part? The pop-up was an advertisement for an anti pop-up app. It's getting close to time to retire my 9, but it's been so good.

Lol...What would you upgrade to?

 

[Brad Bilger]

Dunno. Not a flip I think. My phone doubles as a control screen for my drone. Something compatible with an Air 2s. Large screen. I'll have to do some research on that.
My first Samsung years ago, the salesman asked me what I was looking for. I told him "a Note 3". He looked at me and asked "Do you have ANY idea how big that phone is?" I just held my hand up and spread my fingers. (10 inches from tip of my thumb to the tip of my little finger) No further question about my choice of phones.

Do you use S Pen often? If so you probably would want to stay with a device that has it. I'm happy with my S22 Ultra I got in February 2022. For me, Flip or Fold are out of question, since I want S Pen to have its own silo inside the phone. If Samsung introduces silo for S Pen in the next Flip or Fold, then I might be interested.

 

[Brad Bilger]

I've run the Note 3, 5 and 9. I don't use the pen much but it's proven invaluable for me many times. It's about 3 down on my priority list. LOL.

Look into the s22u , very solid phone with spen built in
