    Voicemail notification not displaying

    Hi, all. My GNote 9 will not display the notification in the notification bar for new voicemail. I have to check my voicemail each time I see a missed call to see if a voicemail was left. Highly annoying. I'm running Android Pie (version 9). The little # badge shows on the phone icon if I have a...

    Help Contacts are duplicated

    Why do all my contacts show up twice? Most are contacts that I manually entered way back when, and I think they synced from someplace when I bought the phone, then they were added again when data from my GS3 was ported to this Note 4. Even the Verizon-standard shortcuts (#BAL, #DATA, etc.) are...

    Help Changing behavior of home screens

    On my GS3, if I swiped through home screens in one direction only, I would eventually end up back at the "main" home screen. In this Note 4, if I swipe left I get through 5 screens and it stops. To get back home, I have to either hit the Home button or press the tiny home icon on the screen...

    About a month ago, I accepted a Samsung Update to my Galaxy S3 phone and it caused all kinds of problems until I did a factory reset (thus forcing me to reload all kinds of apps, settings, etc.) I am now being prompted to update my Note 10.1 and don't want to proceed without knowing what the...

    Help Sudden increase in data usage

    Over the past several years, I have rarely used more than 500 MB of my 2 GB data plan - most of my traffic is on WiFi. However, this month, the use by the OS alone has shot up to 1.48 GB - most of it running in the background (I retrieved this info from Settings > Data Usage). My 3G Watchdog app...
