    Mute most calls but not all?

    Is it possible to set up my S9+ to be on mute or silent when I'm in bed BUT allow certain contacts to call me with a ring tone? I don't want to just choose different ringtones and make it different that way. I just want a 'silence all calls except for these contacts' option. Do I need an...

    Which carrier can I use my G4 with?

    This Motorola G4 was given to me as a sort of lost and found from work. Nobody claimed it. I did a factory reset, and decided to sell it. There was NO sim card installed. There is NO carrier branding. I've checked on multiple IMEI check sites. NO carrier information anywhere, and NO former phone...

    Unwanted music autoplay

    I use bluetooth to play music through my car stereo. I generally use Spotify most of the time. However, anytime spotify doesn't automatically start playing when I start my car, music from Google Play Music starts playing instead. I rarely play music stored in my memory card, but that's where...

    Edge Confusion

    So, I'm a bit annoyed and frustrated at my (formerly) favorite VZW store. My wife and I are both on the edge program. I have an S7 edge, and she has the iphone 6. Back in November, we went down there and asked them how much more of her phone we had to pay off before we could trade it in for...

    Pin Unlock WAY too small!

    I absolutely love my S7 Edge, it's my best smart phone by far. I have to really nitpick to find things I don't like. Definitely a step up from my S4, M8, and Note 4. However, I do have one thing I would like to figure out. I've had this pet peeve for many of my phones, including my brand new S7...

    Help Note 4 microphone issues

    So I've replaced my phone twice because people can't hear me when I make a call, unless I put it on speaker. I use Bluetooth audio and voice through my car stereo and that works fine. The problem is when I'm not in my car. I've tested it enough to be sure the microphone works. However, there...

    Download errors?

    I tried to update "Verizon Support And Protection", and " Facebook Messenger " in the play store and get an error 944 and it fails to update. I uninstalled FB messenger and tried to install it again, now it won't install and says the same thing. Tried restarting my phone, tried turning off...

    Voldy vs Goldy?

    Who would win? Imagine this: Harry Potter destroyed all horcruxes but failed to kill Voldemort. He quickly teleports out to a secret location. Voldy decides to take over the muggle world. But there is a problem. He sees there is one threat to his success, the Dark One. He says "I will eliminate...

    Phone not being recognized by PC?

    My M8 isn't even recognized by my laptop when I plug it in anymore. I use a working cable, and plug it in and nothing happens. No symbol on the phone for choosing the type of connection, and nothing shows up on the laptop either. It isn't showing in the file explorer either. I'm stock 4.4.4 and...

    "cloud gallery" popping up?

    Just the last few days, anytime I plug my phone in, it shows something on the status bar I hadn't seen before. It says "Cloud Gallery Hiding duplicate images". The thing is. I turned off Dropbox automatic upload, and I use Google Photos through Google +. None of them have that symbol of a cloud...

    I can't get on Craigslist on any device and this link here says the site is having issues. Can anyone get on their site? http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/craigslist.org.html

    Stock browser?

    When I'm using the Facebook app and click a link, instead of opening up in Chrome which is the only one I use, it opens up some other browser. I can't find any stock browser on my phone to disable, so how do I make Chrome the default browser and shut off this other one? Chrome is all I've used...

    Camera randomly crashing?

    Ran all updates and factory reset. All stock, but sometimes the camera says it won't open and crashes. Reboot always fixes it but I want a permanent solution. I'm on 4.4.4 and Sense 6.0, on Verizon with my M8. Not rooted or unlocked. Factory reset less than 2 weeks ago, issue has happened only...

    What's the big deal?

    Why are there so many mindless drones that are drawn to In N Out burger like zombies to brains? This makes no sense to me. "Oh it's just so good, nothing else is like it!" That one is purely subjective. Another reason please

    Flashlight app woes?

    For those who didn't know, the flashlight app "Brightest Flashlight Free" settled in court after having sold user's personal information to advertisers. I saw a video of a news story on it. They said the data goes to China, Russia, and India from what they have found so far. They also said that...

    Malware scanner?

    Does my M8 with 4.4.3 have a malware scanner or antivirus built in? A friend with a iPhone 5 got a spammer virus on FB messenger. If she can have that, isn't Android more open, or is that a myth? Do I need to download lookout or something else? Mine hasn't done that but since I like messenger...

    Screen timeout?

    Without rooting, is there an app or some way to make the screen time out at a different time than the screen lock activates? My S4 could do this. All I want is the screen to time out when I want (30 seconds, 1 minute, etc) but the SCREEN LOCK to happen 30 minutes or more later or instantly with...

    Google Drive/Photos?

    This may be a very stupid question that is simple to answer. If, so please let me know. Why isn't there an option to merge my Google Drive and Google Photos into one big cloud storage? They are on the same account. Photos works with G+, and Drive works with Gmail. Wouldn't this be simple and...

    Nothing to see here

    So I have friends waiting on this phone. Problem is they will pass due to no IP67 rating. #fail #samdung Since they have no real advantage anyhow, I'm happy with my M8.

    Help MMS sometimes doesn't work

    Sometimes I can't send pictures. It doesn't matter if I'm using Textra or the stock app. It also doesn't matter if I use quick pic or the gallery. I have good coverage and I have Textra set to unlimited MMS size. It also doesn't matter if the person on the other end is on WiFi or not so if their...

    M8/Textra resurrecting deleted contacts??

    So I was gonna type a text in Textra. I typed the first letter of a name and then all my old contacts show up. Not only do long since deleted ones show up, though they were many phones ago, but ones that don't even have that letter in it! Also, phone numbers from Craigslist replies I didn't even...

    What is visual voice mail?

    And why would I want or need it? All I know about voice mail is that it's my virtual answering machine. I get a missed call and then little symbol on the top left of my screen in the status bar, I touch it, it calls my voicemail, and after choosing a couple numbers, I hear the message. Why do...

    Caller ID

    Quick question. Why does my M8 almost always give me the name of the caller/business when I receive calls (when I haven't saved it as a contact) but my S4 rarely did if the contact wasn't already saved in my phone?

    Lock screen question

    Without rooting, is it possible to set up my screen to time out whenever I choose (30 seconds, a minute, etc) but the screen not to actually LOCK unless I press the power button? This would be so nice when I listen to music in my car. That way it would charge faster than the screen being on but...
