    One UI 6.1 update broke a feature on google messages

    This gave me the answer! I uninstalled the messages app. Not 100% sure if that worked but then it gave me an update button and I updated the messenger app. Now it works like it used to. Thanks!

    One UI 6.1 update broke a feature on google messages

    Thanks for the reply. That is to copy the contents of the text message. I am trying to copy the phone number that sent the text when they are not one of my contacts. I could do that until about a month or so ago.

    One UI 6.1 update broke a feature on google messages

    Who has signal as good as VZW?

    I switched from Sprint to VZW over a decade ago because I travel all of north America and need a reliable signal for business. I am wondering if 10 years later, AT&T or T-Mobile has coverage as good as Verizon all over the 50 states and Canada. Saw only one recent post on the topic and it said...

    Help Pixel 4a 5G muting without activating mute

    My Verizon Pixel 4a 5G has a frustrating issue. While I am on a longer phone call, it sometimes mutes my end of the conversation. To be clear, the MUTE button is NOT activated. It is just the callers suddenly can't hear me even though I can hear them. When I look at my screen the phone call is...

    Help Pinning share apps changed my share option and I can't get it back

    I just got a Pixel 4a 5G. It has android 11. I learned you can change what apps are pinned to your share sheet. I pinned 4 apps and now my share option has changed. When you first click on the 3 dot menu in Chrome a page shows up with lots of options. One is SHARE but it also has an icon next to...

    Help Android Messages app stopped making sounds when texts arrive

    The stock google messages app (for texting) on my Moto G(7) Power just lost functionality. Up until now when a text message arrived a special ring tone I installed would play. The app got an update on 11/19 and now it makes no sound when a text arrives. As you can see in the attached screenshot...

    Help S7, S7 edge, or 6P

    Trying to decide if I should replace my 4 VZW S5 phones with an S7, S7 Edge or the Nexus 6P. My only two concerns with phones are battery life and how quick does each screen load. Ever since I upgraded my S5 to Lollipop it has been slower than it was. My brother says the only difference between...

    Help Galaxy S3 is much slower than it used to be

    My Verizon Galaxy S3 is much slower to do certain tasks then it used to be. I have had it for one year. Most of the slowness is in more complex apps like my calendar or airline apps but even texting is an issue. It used to be when I opened the stock messaging app all of my past posts would show...

Searching the two threads here and google it seems like the apps that exist for non rooted didn't work as of August. Has any fix been found...

    Can't find a solution to this problem though I have found threads where it was discussed. My wife's Galaxy S3 goes to mute from full volume automatically. She is not hitting the volume button to cause this. Sometimes it does it within minutes of her turning the volume back up. I read some...

    Help Does ICS update cause dropped calls and trouble being heard?

    My wife says the ICS update has caused calls to drop and has also caused callers to ask "Are you in the car" because apparently they can't hear her correctly sometimes. I have read tons of ICS posts in this Sprint SII forum (that is what my wife has) and I see no mention of dropped calls or...

    I travel routinely to Canada and learned the hard way that I need to keep international data roaming off most of the time. Searching the forums I found how to use AnyCut to make a shortcut to toggle network settings but I couldn't find the following: (1) Is there a way to create an anycut...
