Galaxy S6 :: Why Can't Press 1 Or Any Other Number
Dec 29, 2015
I have a Verizon S6 on T Mobile, everything works fine except when I am calling a company that uses number prompts to direct your call (press 1 for this or 2 for that) it doesn't recognize that I have pressed a number. Is there a setting or something that I can adjust or is it a glitch with my verizon phone on TMO?
When calling somewhere and you need to press a 1,2,3 etc. for an extension. Mine is not working. Do you need to have to have keypad tones activated in settings for this? Any other way to do it so not to have the sound audible?
I am having trouble to dial any phone number. When I press the dial symbol, immediately it returns the error message "contacts stopped" - "o Contatos parou - in Portuguese".
I already tried to clean the cache and data of all related apps, tried hard reset, and still the same error. What could be possibly wrong? The errors started after I dialed a huge telephone number (XX XX xxx xxx xxx xxx) 16 numbers total. Could it be related to this?
my phone number and serial number not populated in phone settings. I think they used to. Have recently unlocked and flashed with stock firmware. Could this be related and does if matter?
Ok i can view all my s5 pictures on my TV (wireless) but when i try to view my videos i cant? the icon you press on the pictures (screen mirroring) does not appear on the videos?
I always had a strange problem in my S5 with the wifi manager.He keeps crashing when i turn it on. Example: i turn the wifi on by the the notification panel and press the WiFi icon to see the possible networks, but i cant scroll down because the wifi manager crashs, and i have to wait until it "uncrash" to select the network, and it crashs again when start to browse for other networks...It's annoying, but now i'm having other problem with the wifi. I have updated my S5 to lolipop yesterday, and i noticed another problem with the wifi. The first problem still exists, but now, when i turn on the wifi it takes something like 30 ~ 40 seconds to turn on.
My wife would like to be able to skip to the previous/next track using the volume + and - buttons of her S6 headset (the original headset that came in the box). The phone is running the latest stock firmware, unrooted, still locked. Is it possible to make it happen through an app, whether it's an app that is dedicated to that function or a music player app that has the option built-in ? I have the feeling this has to be activated in the rom itself.
On the Galaxy S5, whenever you long-press the Home button, it brings up what appears to be a Google search page or something. Apparently I’m really bad at pressing buttons quickly (either that or the button is malfunctioning) because I keep accidentally bringing up this damn Google search page instead of the home screen.
Is there any possible way to disable the long-press or even just change what it does??? I’ve searched through the phone’s settings and all over the internet and haven’t found anything useful yet.
is this possible? I've googled for a little while can't find anything, I guess I'm not phrasing it right to find it?I like my long hold recent apps to bring up multi window, I would love to long hold back maybe to launch a "quick compose" message without leaving my app or start the music player
I have a really simple a question, I can't seem to find it anywhere on the phone or web. When you press a button or type a message, it vibrates, how do I turn this off? I went into the keyboard settings, on a h t c there is a touch type option but I don't seem that.
I install an app on the playstore for remote control of kodi on my htpc computer , after uninstalling it , noticed when I long press and hold my home button It no longer opens up voice search, it opens google now cards page I then have to click on the mic button at the top to perform a voice search.
Is there a way to reset this ? , I uninstalled updates on google app cleared data ect , now when I press and hold my home button I only get these 2 options.
If I select "google" it opens google now page (same way as above)
Looking for a way tog et pack the long press home button and you can instantly start talking to the google voice .
I have a galaxy s6 edge. A weird thing is happening to my email. i would like to use conversation mode to display my messages. Initially all good. But when I press on the sent folder (to see the messages I sent), the Inbox goes crazy.
It displays all my sent messages in my inbox! Not just the ones from within a conversation, but all my sent messages... This is extremely strange. did not have that problem with my Samsung Alpha... I am at lost to understand Probably some simple setting I am missing?
I was trying out my apps and push the one that says kid mode to see if there were games 4 kids now i can't get out of it. It ask 4 a pin number that i never created. My son tried to get out by pushing different numbers, but it stays n kid mode. My son has a galaxy 5 also through sprint. He said he didn't know what else to do. How to get my cell get back to my original screen?
I tried changing it from the *86 to *86# just to see what would happen, and sure enough, it worked. So then I tried changing it to my actual phone number, and now it won't let me. Everyone I try, it just says voicemail number has been changed, then I hit ok, but nothing actually changed. I tried opening the dialer, going to settings, voicemail, and changing it from there, but it still didn't work
I need to change a contacts phone number on my Galaxy S6 but it won't let me delete the old number. I have to delete the contact completely and then reenter with the current phone number otherwise it continues to show both numbers. How can I delete the old number?
My wife just upgraded to S6, I got hand-me-down S5. Apparently Verizon guy did not change my phone as last guy did when she got S5 and I inherited S4. That time S4 became "my" phone with my phone number etc. It appears this time Verizon guy did not do that. S5 still has her phone number etc. How do I change?
I want to block one specific number ans maybe even forward it to another non working number. I have an S5 thru Sprint and I cant figure out how to do this. There are tons of apps out here. I can believe an app like what Im describing doesn't exist.
At times I run my small business from my phone and I need to be able to send numbers from my call logged to my techs via text message. On my s 4 all I need to do was hold on the number in the logs and a box would pop up then I'd press send number and it would go directly to text messages app.
If a contact in my favorites has more than one number associated with it. Every time I try to call that person a window pops up with the available numbers. So far so good, but then when you press the number you want to call you must also choose between "mark as default" or "just once" EVERY TIME.
For most of these contacts choosing a default number would be more trouble than it's worth because the number I want changes depending on time of day etc. I would just like to skip that step entirely.
We need to turn OFF the display of the phone's number on outgoing calls.
I've found several things on the Internet that show how to do this. They ALL (so far) send me into phone/settings/calls then tell me to select "MORE SETTINGS" I DO NOT have a "more settings". I have an "additional settings" where that would be, but all that's in there is TTY mode and Hearing aids.
How do I turn on and off the display of the phone number when making calls?
I have an AT&T S5. I also have a Google voice phone number. When people call my actual phone they get the voicemail for Google voice. How can I fix it so that when my ATT number is called they get my voicemail and when my Google voice number is called they get my voicemail for that?
When u recueve a texy from someone, it puts their usual number, ex. 777-777-7777, and then adds a +11 to it, ex. +11777-777-777 It comes up as an unknown contact, and I cannot reply to that number. I tried restarting my phone, adding a 1 to the contact number, adsing BOTH versions of the number to a contact and setting the default one as the correct number, and even a different texting app. I have an AT&T galaxy s5. No root, just stock.
I can't seem to find a way to change the default behavior of the Contacts app to search only for contacts that have a phone number.
My contacts are synchronized with my Google account and since Google saves all used emails as contacts (in the "Other Contacts" group), whenever I search for a contact in the phone I get a list of all the emails that also match my search. this is so annoying.
I enabled the option "Only contacts with phones" in the settings, but that seems only to affect the contacts that are displayed in the list, search is not affected by it.
I also tried changing the "Contacts to display" option to use a customized list and selecting only the desired group (My Contacts) from my Google account, but nothing was affected except for the list itself.
Any way to change that behavior without installing a third party dialer app?
