Custom Ringtones - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Is anyone else on CRB9 having issues getting custom ringtones for contacts working? Mine will just use the default ringtone. This worked great before the update. I also noticed that my trusted places stopped working too.
This is getting frustrating.

Hmm, that is strange. It works for me. Did you try resetting phone? I didn't have to do that though.

Touch to call (from web browsing etc)

Hi there,
Basically I've just moved over from the 4S to the S3 (international) and I'm loving it so far with no regrets what so ever. However there is one thing I really miss and that's touch to call. By that I mean the option where you can touch a phone number on a Web Page or file and it would ring the number without having to copy and paste etc.
Is this exclusive to iPhone or is it also available on Android, Windows etc?
Anyone?
Haven't personally tried the galaxy s3 yet but on all my other Android phones that works. I think there are some certain Web formats that cause issues where it doesn't work, but most of the time it does it no problem. Works the same with addresses that I click on, it will bring up Google maps automatically for me.

Wifi Calling

Am I blind or is the wifi calling setting missing? I can't seem to find it. Anyone know where it is?
You are seriously blind or ur trolling haha
Yeah it's definitely not there...
Even if I search settings for wifi it's not there:
I hope I don't have to factory reset. I spent like 3 hours setting everything up without root Lol.

Eventually I will. I wanted to stay on rooted stock as long as possible.
Is there any way to edit the features.xml without root?
uh, turn your wifi on connect to a wifi and look again, would be my suggestion
how about trying the default theme? maybe the one you're using may be breaking some of the ui elements.
another user had his tethering missing from settings. a refresh fixed it. i know it sucks to do it, but it might work.

Tried that. WiFi calling settings are present whether you have WiFi on or off.

I tried the default theme and wifi calling is still missing. I did a factory reset and its still missing.
is the wifi calling stuff activated by the sim? do you have the service on your account? could be bad sim or you need to check your account services. hope something works. sucks going through all this with a new device.
What carrier r u on? Just checking because maybe ur not on Sprint. Not sure if other carriers are using WiFi calling.

I'm missing wifi calling as well and am on Sprint. I was missing hotspot also and did a factory reset to fix the issue. Wonder what's going on with missing features. I have the 64gb version.

Go to "more connection settings" it should be there
Call Sprint and have them remove, then add it back to your account.
This has worked for me in the past when all else has failed.

I am on Sprint.
So I called Sprint support and they couldn't figure it out being that it's a new device. I was advised by Sprint support to take the phone to a Sprint store to have them look at it.
i've got wifi tether, got the email that it's been activated, have the icon saying it's working but every time i call out i get either the girl or guy saying they can't complete the call. getting a free ac66 though!
If you edit your quick settings panel its in the extended drop down menu

I too am on Sprint and missing WiFi calling.... about to take the phone in for a faulty software load? I factory reset. Next step is downloading the firmware and pushing to the device and see if that fixes it

He's not trolling. Mine was the same way. Reset... nothing... so now I am downloading the firmware from sammobile. If still nothing, then its back to sprint with it.

If you use Nova, you can get to the settings through creating a activities shortcut on there, and then swap back to Touchwiz, or stay on Nova....it's a work around. This means since the app is installed it is a Touchwiz issue...go figure!
So, i reset to get it back, didnt work. Then I went to sammibile, downloaded the firmware and still no luck. Using Nova I was avle to get the wifi calling started, and then switch back to TW. Im just wondering what else is missing? Think ill just go get a new handset since its obviously missing features...

Galaxy S7 Audio Issues

Hey, I've recently bought a S7 and now I face audio issues. Whenever I watch a video, listen to music, or play games, the audio would usually cut out, and resume after a minute or so. I've never gotten this issue using the 3.5mm headphone jack. Do you guys think it's a hardware or software issue?
Thanks.
that never happened to me before, did you drop it hard someday ? if not, then get it replaced
There is a whole thread about this issue, just type s7 sound problem in search box, one user posted videos. I have the same problem, still don't know what's causing it.

Apparently it has something to do with some Google apps, I'm not too sure how to fix it though.

I did dunk it in water a few times.
Hi,
I have the same problem with audio. It looks definitely as software problem. When the problem occurs i run Hardware diagnostic tests - *#0*# and run speaker test. After that test the speaker works fine.
For me it is something wrong with deep sleep or this doze feature.

Did you find that info online, or?
I tried contacting samsung, but they only said that i should bring the phone to closest service when the sound bug happens. The problem is that it can happen any time, and go away in the same manner -.-

I browsed around and found out that other devices suffer from these issues. Also, Samsung customer care told me to do a cache wipe and it still didn't fix the issue.
FIXED! After becoming angered with the device, I slapped the living hell out of it and there are no more issues! None whatsoever for about 1 month.
I also have the same problem, someone has solved?

I wouldn't recommend abusing your phone out of frustration (as noob924 claims to have done). Odds are greater that you'd damage it than that you'd find your issue resolved

Hardware problem......
i make an applications thats try to fix it temporary.
download : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wendyliga.s7soundfix
how it works?
This app simply request Audio Focus and then relase it again , so your Media Player (Youtube , Music , etc) can gain Sound again.

Google maps not working within other apps, any suggestions?

Good Day everyone,
I have a problem, Google maps doesn't work within any other app that uses it. I've tried 4 different apps and all have missing maps. I have not modded or rooted my phone.
Here are screenshots of what I'm talking about. The apps are Samsung's own S-Health, Uber, Trulia & Zillow.
Any help is appreciated.

There was Google Map update. Did this fix your problem ?
If not try to update manually from here : http://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=google+maps
I was hoping it would but still did not. I don't know what's going on with this. My wife also has the S8 but her app are all working well.
I may have to do what I have most--wiping and starting over.

I have Samsung S6 and after upgrading to Android 7 same problem.
YSHI in another forum found a solution: Try to reduce Display Size/Display scaling setting. Set it to normal scaling so all the maps start to appear in all the apps.
This helped me in some apps. Some still do not work properly.
Thanks

Android P public beta coming to Essential PH-1 today!

https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/08/android-p-public-beta-available/
Want to try the abundance of new Android P features announced at I/O? If you have the right phone, you can try them today. Google is releasing a public Android P beta for 11 phones, including its own Pixel phones, the Essential Phone, Sony's Xperia XZ2, Xiaomi's Mi Mix 2S and the upcoming OnePlus 6. Sorry, Samsung fans. You won't want to install this beta if you need a completely reliable phone, but Android P's features may be worth trying if you're willing to experiment.

Just announced. Anyone going to take the plunge? I did as soon as Oreo beta was available, some growing pains but overall was worth it.
Too many bad known issues for me to play with it...
What issues are they having so far? Will be nice to get updates quickly, like a Pixel, without the Pixel 2/XL price tag...
SIP appears to be borked...no IP SMS, VoLTE, Video Calling...
Yeah, it's not even worth considering for anything but a dev working on app development. Might be ok for a daily driver in a couple months...
looks like they removed the link already, after I flashed it of course. I don't have wifi currently
It's still there:

Not sure then, but in any case, unless you want to ruin your phone, there is no point installing it... It's not even close to being ready... This is more like an Alpha version, than a Beta version...

So far:
-Notch settings have been removed, so no more immersive mode as of now
-Things are very very smooth, no glitchy animations or anything
-Have not run into any app issues in the few I've run
-Gestures are, ummm, strange? Going to take some getting used to for sure. in a way it is a whole new paradigm. After so many years using android, it feels really weird. I don't really like that if you try to swipe up your app drawer though the "current apps" view pops up behind it. Doesn't looks great and seems like a poor ui choice. I'm sure this will change though
Altogether, so far so good honestly. Seems like daily driver material for my usage
