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!

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

I was hiking the slot canyon in Anza yesterday and when I finally got back to a restaurant, I realized the phone , which I'd never enabled anything in particular on, had counted all my steps and several other things.
Does anyone know how to disable step counting on emui 5? I've done all the obvious things, like "disable step counting". Thanks. I don't care how many steps I've taken, only that I arrived.
Also: I meant to mention this but forgot. The camera works great for me, but that isn't good enough for the Honor 8. After I've taken some pictures, about 3 hours later, it always pops up a notification that says "I've finished enhancing your picture of _____" . What if I don't want an enhanced picture? Is there a way to turn off all this irritating crap? Thanks again.

If you are referring to the step count being displayed on the lock screen then you disable it through the screen lock settings. Otherwise, I believe it's in the Health App itself.
Not sure about the photo enhancing. Never seen that one before.
What app do tell you about step counting.
Plus, clear data and cache of the camera app and see if the pop-up is still present
I didn't even know that the Honor 8 had a built in step counter app in it's software.

Well, I forgot the name, it was the Health app (HiHealth or something). Try to find it and open it, you will find all your steps and lots of other information about your "health".

The only fitness app I can find is called "google fit". I've disabled it. However, the steps are still there after disabling them on the lock screen & disabling the fit app, so I think it may be a bug or else there is another counter that just keep going. It's not that bad and it doesn't eat up any noticeable energy.

I just realized I had an app called "Health" and disabled it, and now it is gone from the lock screen. The lock screen setup doesn't work for turning off steps (or not showing them). The app was located in the /system/app folder as hw-health-midware.apk

It seems that you have the Chinese variant, as the US model doesn't come with the health app.

Probably doesn't matter what my frd-l04 came with that I bought from newegg that I use on ATT. It matters more that I updated to Nougat and that's the beta which had the health app in it. On marshmallow, I never had the step counter or the health app.

I probably just don't recall it from Marshmallow since I updated the first day I got it. The good news is that it's called "healthd" and can be disabled and deleted as can all their crapware if desired. I just did that and I'm not rooted yet.

I was watching a video of tips and tricks for this phone and I saw one tip and now I can not find it in settings. The tip was that you could schedule the phone to auto restart. Just had to pick the day and time and frequency. I have searched all through phone and I just can't find it. I then searched for video I watched and I can't find that now. Anyone offer some assistance please.

Actually it defaults to once every 24 hours if you don't schedule it yourself. I bet a few of them think they have an issue because of this.

Maybe on your US-device, but NOT on the international one (SM-G955F)!
When "once in a week" is not set, it won't restart every day!
Can someone tell me the benefit of auto restart? I can do this on my phone but not sure for the benefit.
No need for that. My phone restarts on its own like every other day...
Can someone tell me if the AT&T model supports this feature or did they remove it?

It is in the AT&T model.
A great feature of the settings panel is the lookingglas. You can search for keywords and directs you to the relevant setting or section.
Feature enabled but no restart
I have it set restart ok Mondays at 5am but nothing happens. To test I've set it for 10 minutes in the future and set the phone down. Nothing happens. Factory reset and still nothing. Any idea? Does anyone know the package responsible for this feature?
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.

Brand new all stock S8+, and I just noticed the recovery screen has these misspellings ("Appling", "Selecitevly"). I'm worried this has been tampered with. What's with the "No Support Single SKU..." also? Could you fine folks please check if this is normal? Thank you!
anyone? it takes just 30 secs of your time to check please. if you don't know how to enter recovery mode: power off first then - hold both bixby and volume up buttons and then press power. after vibrate, let go of power button. you'll see the android guy, then wait a few secs and it'll go into recovery. thanks
I have the same thing. I must admit I never read the screen before only now, now that you've mentioned it.
Thank you for checking. 100+ views of my post and no one else cared to check. I don't remember xda being unhelpful like this when I used to be active here in the past.
How do I check it?

Press and hold the power button on your S8 and tap on “Power Off”. The phone will turn off.
Now press the volume up, Bixby and power keys at the same time. Keep them pressed until you see the Samsung boot animation logo.
Release the keys. Wait a few seconds.
Mine has the same thing
Same here

Thank you guys for taking the time. I guess that's on Samsung to fix then. Tho, I'd still like to know what those notes mean.
The only differences with mine is the top row where yours says No support mine says Support and further down where yours says TMB mine says EVR
Everything else is the same.
