I have the phone for two days now, but I noticed that unlike GS4 and GS5, GS6 is missing these two important features!
there is no "answer vibration" feature , so if someone answer my call I can't let the device vibrate!
you can't put a "direct call" icon in the desktop! now you can put contact icon, then after clicking it will take you to the contact page for that person!
Anyone, is this the case with you? anyone know how to solve it?!
Go into the dialer settings and under call alerts you'll find what you're looking for.

I just did a hard reset, still this option is not there
My S6 is from middle east, I think I need to install different ROM!
how about direct call icon in desktop, it is working with you?
thanks for your help!

Don't think it's Samsung. Looks like Google removed the shortcuts for the direct call, email, sms, etc... In lollipop from what I can find. I been searching and not much info on the web about this, guess me and you the few that used that feature.
Sent from my SM-G900T using AllianceR(●)m
it might be, but I used Lollipop in my GS5 and the feature was there!
I am most annoyed about the vibration thing! I even flashed a German ROM in my mobile but the vibrate on answer feature didn't show up! :crying:
Don't think it's the Os it's the phone model ID and product ID , if it's that important change it to a us variant, might not boot though

Direct call is different from a shortcut. With direct call you click the icon and it calls the assigned person. With the shortcut as in the screen you posted, it takes you to the contacts page, where you then call text etc...
Thanks though

Thank you for your answer, this feature is important to me. I tired to install the T-Mobil US ROM. but it failed with Odin! I guess because my phone is G920F. and the T-Mobil pone is G920I.
For the second point, I agree with tenxo. Galaxy phones used to have direct calls.

don't try to flash a different rom since they are different kernel and boorloader. You are going to damage your device...

thanks, but I wish there is a solution for not vibrating on answer
I have GS6 Edge Middle East edition
I have the same problem as yours no call alerts option
I really miss the vibrating feature after answering
I have the European S6 Edge - no call alert settings as well. I would like to remove the call connect tone and enable vibrate on answer. Hope Samsung will add this with the next updates.

This ROM is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
Now I can't tell you if this ROM will work on your phone, but it has the option to turn on Vibrate on Call. This ROM is also a "LITE" rom, so it de-bloats alot of things. So read carefully, and ask questions BEFORE you flash.

I don't use the ROM (I haven't rooted yet--waiting/hoping of a way to root without tripping KNOX), but I wanted to read about it and that Vibrate on Calls caught my eye because I remember someone asking about that feature. So I came back here to tell you about it. I'm T-Mobile US, so I already have that feature OTB. Weird some don't have that simple feature. Odd. But you're welcome, and good luck!
EDIT: WOW... You've been here since 2010, and you only have 12 posts! How does that happen? You passed 100% of your old posts count in just a week! Lol

Hi!
I recently got a new icon on my Samsung S7 status bar. The last thing i did was flash a CSC, portugal unbranded. Its related to my mobile data usage. If I enable mobile data it appears, and if i disable it it disappears. Ive also included a little screenshot.
If any of you know a way to disable this icon or what its there for, please let me know! Thanks in advance.

Yea I didn't say to flash it, that's for a different device, you asked what it was and that forum tells you
Lucky you didn't end up with a brick, don't flash stuff made for different devices

I would like to know how it is possible to display carrier name on status bar in my Samsung A8 2018 stock Rom. I really like this because of an esthetical reason.

picky picky!! its only been a year since the thread started, why throw me under a moving bus?
anyways, if youre not rooted, good luck. There is an app from samsung themselves called "good lock" it allows you to customize your notif bar in ways that only root would otherwise be able to. You might also benefit from flashing the CSC from your carrier on the phone. Just the CSC tho, nothing else would necessarily need to be flashed. Why would someone want the name of the carrier displayed? Im not doggin ya in any way, shape or form, just curious.
Finding if I am in my home network while traveling near the border to avoid roaming charges would be one of the reasons.
Will have to find some app solution then.

I'm dumb. I've been looking everywhere on how to turn the background from white? I've looked everywhere and I've changed everything. so either you can't change it. or it's right under my nose and I'm insane. I'm running Sac23’s S9 Oreo Ported ROM for Galaxy S7 . I've attached a screenshot. I can't for the life of me figure it out.

It isn't built in, so look for a theme pack or I believe nova launcher allows this.
I tried nova. Not finding it there either. Lol my phone hates me.

Hi! I have a Verizon Note 8 Unlocked. When I disconnect the data from the notifications section, I receive a warning to confirm(see attachment). I'd like to know also in the fw AT&T is the same? Thank you very much.

There is a message on my at&t note 8 but it gives an option of not showing it again. Apparently, I haven't used it before.

Great! So to eliminate the problem I can flash The AT&T FW instead of Verizon FW. Good!

When I have data turned off, though, there's a constant notification in the top status bar saying that it's off, and some services won't work correctly. The notification doesn't go away unless I turn data back on. And I think I read somewhere that it will go away if you restart the phone.
Edit: nope. I just tried it. Data off, reboot... Notification still there.

Okay, better than before anyway. I asked the same question for the other brands (CSC, T-Mobile ...) but no one has answered yet. I hope someone will answer me maybe you can (European models don't have that warning, only old phones)
