I was having an issue when I would try to open my contacts, it would always force close. I decided to try to disable and re-enable the contacts application to see if that would fix it. I however removed my contacts shortcut and I cannot get it back. Does anyone have any ideas. This was before the recent update to 4.2.1 and the update did not fix it.
Thanks for your help.

You mean you disabled it? Go to settings, apls and all. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and re-enable it.

Correct, I disabled it. But it doesn't come back after re-enabling it. The shortcut is still missing.
The shortcut itself won't come back on its own, you need to drag it back to the homescreen from the apps drawer.
It doesn't show in the app drawer as well.
Have you rebooted?
Yes I have rebooted. It happened before the latest OS update as well so it has been through an update and the shortcut still hasn't come back.

I just bought the mentioned phone and I'm experiencing some weird problems on it. For example, I disabled most of the google apps by going to the App menu > Edit and disabled them by pressing the "minus" on the icon. Now if I want to re-enable them in Settings > Applications by going to the Disabled Apps section, pressing Enable and it gives me the option to DISABLE it again? WTF? Seems like I can't enable any app I disabled now..
The second thing is, it's more of a question really.. If I long press the home button, it only makes a short vibration and does nothing at all, is that normal or should something pop-up?
I mean really!? Ok, when you've pressed the enable toogle and the toggle becomes "disable" it means the app is already enabled and it gives you the option to disable it again.
Long press of the home button brings you to google now app, you must have disabled it.

I don't understand the bold text I quoted from you.. What do you mean? I clearly stated that I've disabled an app, and if I press to enable it, it offers me to disable it.. which is, already disabled?!?!?
Sorry for the misunderstanding but I don't get it how could I disable a already disabled app?!?

I mean when the button has the word "disable" on it. It means it's already running and app is ready for use.. Vice versa, if it has the word "enable" on the button.

I have DISABLED an app, therefore the app is DISABLED. If I want to enable it, the button there clearly says "Enable" but when I try to do that, I get a pop up as I was trying to disable it, which it already is.. Why don't you get it? xD

Ohh I get it now, if you've disabled it and the app is already updated, and you're trying to enable it again. Just click the pop up to disable it again, it just wants you to uninstall the updates and it reverts back to the apps factory version, and press the enable toggle again, the app will be enabled. You just have to reupdate the app again. In the touchwiz home you can directly disable an app but in the applications manager when you try to disable apps you have to uninstall the updates. Since disabling through the home launcher is just a shortcut.
Just touchwiz things.

It's normal, if you're not rooted. It's not really a bug, it's just a feature of touchwiz. My stock S5 and S4 has this, too.

Oh okay then.. I thought I got some faulty phone Any news on when is the ram management fix coming? Seems like my ram is staying at 80-90% at all times.. even when I'm not running any apps..
Also, do you recommend disabling the apps you don't use? For example I have disabled most of the google apps on there, since I'm not prone to use them..
I wasn't happy with Nougat and decided to go back to Marshmallow, now I am on MM and everytime I turn on wifi the Nougat update starts downloading. Restarting phone didn't help.
There is no option either to stop it.
Isn't there an option in Developer settings?

No, not there either. Is there any way without rooting the device?
Anyone figure this out?! Can't get notification to go away. Ugh. Please help!

The only way I have been able to disable the update is to download the "BK Disabler App" along with "BK Plugin". It will allow you to disable the update as well as take away the notification at the top. The only thing that will show is there will be a Software update dialog box at the top of your settings menu when you go into settings. Otherwise you will never be notified of it again and wont have to worry about it downloading or updating when you set your phone down.
You will need to go to the top right corner of the app and search for "update" and check these 3 items:
com.sec.android.soagent
com.wssyncmldm
com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp
Perhaps I have not searched enough to find a thread about this topic, but is there a way to simply turn off the permanent Advanced Messaging Service notification (and not disable VoLTE)? I looked at a thread on the internet that suggested to force stop the app, but naturally, it restarts when it is used by a service on your phone. This notification is extremely annoying and never goes away. Although this app is visible in the list of apps (and/or notifications), the only option is force stop for the app itself, and for notifications, the options are grayed out so I can't turn them off.

I appreciate your reply but I paid and downloaded that app and it's only for rooted devices. Is this the only way to get rid of the notification?

Yes only way for now
OK, ever since the switch from Nougat to Oreo update I've lost all notifications from GMail. I've already done some research and tried some of the advised steps but am still at a loss. This is not phone specific as I actually to get a new phone since Oreo. Thoughts, suggestions?

Try settings
apps
select the app you want
(gmail )
scroll down to app settings
Notifications
if it shows blocked
then select and toggle switch to on
this will allow you to customise notifications for this app.
Hope this helps.

Already checked that. Thanks, though
I bought my Nex in China, and I already turned on the settings like autostart in iManager and settings like the emergency priority in Manage Status and Notification. However, a lot of times notifications for apps like Gmail still don't show up on time; they are delayed for anywhere between an hour to hours. Anyone know the solution? Really like the phone but am thinking about going back to OnePlus 5T stock android because of this (one time I even missed Google Voice incoming call, had to go into the app and refresh to know I got a call). Thanks!

maybe you need to whitelist your 3rd party apps for speedup. start first the app you want to whitelist, swipe from the left bottom up to get in the control center, there you see your apps. swipe the app down and you will see a lock, click on that and you whitelist your app for speedup. i include some pics. hope that help you solve your problem, the software is very terrible on this phone but i love it too much i can´t sell it.
