Sorry If this has been already asked. I searched everywhere and the responses didn't help.
Basically, my father and I have the same name, and my Samsung Captivate swears that we are the same person and decided to link the two contacts together.
I have searched in different forums and the answer is simple:
- Go to the contact
- Click on Menu>edit
- Click on Menu>unlink
However I have looked everywhere for that cute little "unlink" button with no success. I have even called the cops, but they tell me that my little button needs to be missing for at least 48 hours before they start searching.
Could you help me?
I hope this helps
1-open contacts
2- find you or your dads name
3-click on it
4- bottom of the screen should be "linked contacts"
5-click it
6-click on either one of the minus signs.

That worked!!!! Thanks!
It was not at the bottom of the screen but at the middle.
Nice
Glad I could finally help someone, I was even getting ready to take screen shots.
i hope the administrator of this forum let post this thread, i ve seen many people wondering and asking so often about this topic, so thats why i decided to open this thread

Via Mobile: well, directly on your mobile, the only thing you can do is mark the location you want as "starred", just touch for 2 seconds on the spot or place you want to mark, it will load the address, when the address shows up, then tap on it, after that, look for a little "star" symbol located on the upper-right corner, tap it, and it will turn into yellow color (the bad thing about this is you cannot add a name or description for it)
.
Via computer: you can mark and save all the locations you want through google maps on your pc, just log in your google account, then go to google maps, look for the place you want to mark, when you find it, just click on "my maps", and after that, click on "create new map", when you click on "create new map", some buttons to mark that place will show up, choose the button with the "push pin" drawing, and get that "push pin" on the place you want, type the name of that place and a description, save it
after some seconds take your mobile, go to "maps", then go to "layers", now to "more layers", and finally click on "my maps", and viola, all the places you have marked via your computer will be there
on your pc also you can see the places you have marked as "starred" with your mobile in case you need them to mark them better with a "push pin" by using your pc

you will have to search for an adress, and when a marker on the map appears at this adress, tap the marker, then tap the icon in the right side that looks like a man in a suit. you will now enter Streetview at a point that is the nearest to the adress you entered
was searching everywhere for this, ud think google woulda made it more easier ot find
Great help.
That's what I was wondering about - how to add my own places on a map.
So the only way is to do it through a PC. Bleeeh...
Any one knows how we could mail to Google and ask them to add this feature into the mobile apps?
Do you know the service mail?
Thanks.
Ok. So my grandfather is a tech freak and he asked me to find him a good touchscreen phone, so I thought that WP7 would be a good choice for someone of his age because the size of the tiles...
He uses his phone only to make phone calls and to add/edit contacts. Maybe read (not write) a message once a week...
That's why I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is an app/tweak that would allow me to add a tile that would work as a direct CALL shortcut to a person it is linked to? The way Android and jailbroken iOS do...
Thanks in advance...
You can pin contacts to your homescreen.

You don't need to jailbreak the phone to do this.
Go to your contact list. Tap on the person you want to have on the home screen and you will find three buttons at the bottom. Click on the 'pin' button and you will have that person on your home screen! Simples.
EDIT; I meant you don't need to jailbreak 'a windows phone' to do this
And this might be better off in Question & Answers section.
To add to this also, you can make a group and pin it also to the screen, like "Family". When you click on the group it will only show those that you placed in it which you can click on to call, text ec.

Thanks for the replies. I saw earlier on a youtube video what you were referring to about pinning a person...
But I didn't get a reply on one thing... Can that tile be used as a direct call shortcut? Without it opening the contact info and than selecting a number to call.
Nope, just a shortcut to the contact card

By default it cannot. But an app could be written to do this. It will still require a confirm to call, similar to using the SmartDialer app.
There are plenty of apps that will take you to favorites to directly dial a specific number of a contact. Unfortunately, none of the ones I found allow you to pin that particular favorite to the main screen. Maybe I should write an app to do this.
How about "Lightning dial" app? It will save you a lot of homescreen tiles.

hi guys, i just got my galaxy s5 2 days ago,
i can tell it seems nice, but?
1- the tapping sometimes seems not callebrated!! like when i click to show the menu in data usage, it gives me the list to select/unselect the "restrict background data" but i can't select it!! same in many other menus, these menues which they changed from the press bottun hardware into a software menu to select, i can't select the ristrict background data, it is either going to above it "data roaming" or below it "enable wifi measure" how i can callebrate it? how i can make the touch work fine!!?? i even tried to use a thin pen softly many times, i just can't control some menus like the one i said about, also in messages (SMS) when trying to open a first message in the list, it opens for me "create new message instead" looks like the hit comes on the place that is above what i tap!!! any idea why?
2- i want to make the clock alarm put the das like S M T W T F S, but it keep reading starts from Monday, i've selected the regional settings correct "Dubai/ UAE" and made sure that is all like my old S3 which was fine, but i just couldn't make it appear as startting from Sunday!!! any idea?
3- when i am on the home screen, going right, goes to the right page, fine, going right again, goes to the next page, fine, but if i go left, it opens the magazine thing, i don't want it, i just want it to open the last page normally like you are flipping the pages, how i can do that?
4- the usb input place is really disgussting, everytime you need to carefully remove the cover and each ones you have to make sure you do it carefully not to spoil it, is seems thin and can't handle pressure, i just don't know why they put it,,,, any idea how to remove it "without breaking it" out of the device, so to keep it aside and may use it later for example??
thanks for your time guys
Think you're looking for the S5 forums, bud. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5
That's for the sprint variant of the s5. You can use the "Type to find your device" search box to find other versions. You will also want to enter the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting subforum for any questions as general threads with questions are moved/deleted.

I've made control F and typed galaxy s5 and galaxy s 5 in the main xda forums page but nothing was found, so i thought it is not yet been created as it is new phone
ok please move it to that one, i am still looking for those answers though
On the top-right side of this page you will find a search bar with: "Type to find your device..." and a small phone icon to the right of said bar. In there, type Galaxy S5. You will see on a drop down list with all of the variants of the S5. Click whichever applies to you, be it the Sprint variant, etc. Since you state you use the Dubai format you may want to go for the international variant. We won't be able to help as this is the S4 forum, however, the S5 forums are definitely active and available.
The S5 was terrible. I'm back to my S4 and happy. It is a step back. No SV-LTE for starters.
Moved to Sprint S5 Q&A.

device was defective in hardware, even software update (fresh software installation) did not help. unfortunately, many people had the same problem as Samsung representative stated earlier today, they took the device from me and will arrange for replacement soon. this is FYI guys.
Anyone getting the camera failed message? Full battery and have wiped data still wont load.

maybe hardware issue as happened with my new device, take it to Samsung warranty center, they may update the software and it works, otherwise, request replacement, i did that and they replaced it for me with new peace after 2 days
Had this issue ,camera worked fine the first day .Than bam no camera took it back to bestbuy . They replaced it that day.

Hey all - been working on this off and on for a while but I've finally got it in a place where it works to how I envisioned it so I'm super excited to share it with you all!
These days people expect instant replies to their instant messages & it's not always possible to oblige.
Texting & driving is dangerous, your boss probably isn't keen on your messaging at work, you might be in a meeting, you might have left your phone to go workout.. Fortunately, in any given situation, Can't Talk will respond for you.
Let people know you're busy, you're driving, you're in a meeting, you'll get back to them later.. You set the message, you set who & via which apps to respond to & Can't Talk does the rest.
It's "out of office" but not just limited to email. Whatsapp, Slack, SMS, missed calls, Telegram, Hangouts, Allo.. any app that let's you send a quick reply via it's notification - Can't Talk can respond to.
Features of note:
- You can auto reply to sms & missed calls as well as app notifications
- You can specify which apps can be replied to
- You can specific which contacts can be auto-replied to (this includes across apps like Whatsapp etc..)
- You get to specify the message that gets sent.
Features of note to come:
- Multiple profiles - so you can create a "work profile" or a "home profile" or a "driving profile" with specific responses/settings
- Contextual Switching - the ability to automatically turn profiles on & off depending on whether you're driving, in the office, at home etc..
- Contact specific responses
At this stage I'd really love your feedback on the app so far (this is a beta so there may be bugs) & more specifically what more would you want from an app like this?
Any and all feedback/suggestions would be hugely appreciated!
Beta on the Play Store here
Huge update now on the Play Store
Added support for messaging apps such as Whatsapp, Hangouts etc..
Fixed a number of bugs
Added support for contact specific replies
Would love ANY feedback on the app! Happy Friday everyone!!
New update will be on the Play Store shortly, lots of bug fixes & a much tidier UI ??
Nice app but second reply time is 12 min after the first reply to the same person that not good. it should be the frequent reply. or is it work without the internet?

Thanks for the feedback! Was it a reply to the same message, & which app was it replying too (whatsapp, sms, etc)? There is a setting under Advanced Settings to change the reply frequency, it defaults to 15 minutes meaning it'll auto reply to any NEW messages you receive from the same contact or app after 15 minutes.
If you have a better idea about how reply frequency should work I'm all ears Maybe people want the option to reply to 1 contact 1 time ever, until the app is switched off?
New beta is up! Ton of bug fixes, some layout improvements.. Feedback as always is encourage
Messenger?
Does this (can this) work with Facebook Messenger?
Finally an extremely useful app thank you...
Text field box should read, TAP to edit. Not TO to edit
Interesting application buddy. Love the opening animations.
One thing I found annoying, is that for almost anything I changed, there was no "Save" button. Thus I had to first click "Back" arrow and then a prompt would ask if I want to save or discard. Could have used only a single click if there was a "Save" button.
Also, there needs to be some modification for the secondary text field, e.g. Apps Secondary or Advanced Secondary.

How would you know who had joined the beta, though? When I click the "Become a tester" button on the play store, does it send my email to the developer?
after I have enabled Notification Access, it is consuming 310MB RAM in a 3GB RAM Device, is it normal?

Hi
This looks a very interesting app but I don't seem to be able to download it. There is no Install button on the app page.
Sounds nice, gonna give it a whirl
I joined the beta program through the app in the store instead of the link in the op, is it ok? Since that was a browser redirect and sign in page, so i just took a shortcut.

It should work with any apps that support quick reply from their notifications so while I've not tested it with FB messenger, in theory it should work ?

That's an excellent point - tbh the app actually left beta yesterday & I'd actually forgot to remove that caption from the OP ?
However since it was mentioned in the Portal post more people have downloaded & I'm guessing that's a big part of the reason so I'll honour that commitment.
Let's say.. anyone who's commented on the thread or liked the OP I'll send a promo code to. Anyone left hanging in 2 weeks (when the trial expires) will hopefully email me & they'll get one too. Unless anyone has a better way to go about it? ?

Tbh mate I've not looked at RAM usage at all seeing as the app does nothing in the background whatsoever - until you receive a notification/SMS etc.. although judging by my other app ReadItToMe that sounds about right.
I'll do some testing but unless it's causing you an issue I wouldn't worry
