Getting it from a 3rd party app is not an acceptable solution. Why can't Samsung give me my old ringer back? @Geno71 wrote: Hi @ggivensjr If you looked through all pre-installed ringtones and don't see the one you like, you can get it from a third party source. I use Zedge.

@SamsungSteph wrote: Are you experiencing this with any other icons? Have you tried wiping the cache partition on your device? The system cache partition stores temporary system data. It's supposed to allow the system to access apps more quickly and efficiently, but sometimes things get cluttered and outdated, so a periodic cache clearing can help make the system run more smoothly. Give these steps a try to wipe the cache partition on your device: Turn off the device. Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key. When the Android logo displays, release all three keys. An 'Installing system update' message will show for 30 - 60 seconds before the Android system recovery menu options appear. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition. Press Power key to select. Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select. When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted. Press the Power key to restart the device Please let me know if you continue to experience the symptom. I cleared the cache but it didn't help. It is still difficult to answer calls if the phone is standby mode.

Most times I have difficulty answering calls. The handset icon doesn't work on first touch or swipe. It requires multiple touches or swipes.

Where is the original standard telephone ringer? I just want a standard old time ringer like a bell.

I followed your instructions. Once in safe mode I had my wife call me. The phone still performed as previously described. I had to flip open the cover of my Clearview standing cover model:EF-ZN960, then long touch (about 20-30 seconds) and swipe up/right to answer the call. Also not able to answer by touching the phone icon with Clearview case cover closed and touching the phone icon.

I see the phone icon and hear the phone ring but the phone icon doesn't let answer. I have to put my finger on the icon and hold it there for several seconds then swipe up. By then the caller has hung up. What am I doing wrong? I've tried to adjust the sensitivity settings but it doesn't help and I have all biometric settings enabled. I can't figure it out and I'm tired of losing calls.

I have unlocked note9 and none of these suggestions work. Bixby won't read barcodes at all and will NOT read qr codes either at least not accurately.

Did chat was advised Bixby can't set interval and duration. Only can set duration and interval in clock app alarm.

On my old S7 I could set reminder ringer for interval and count(eg to ring 5x for 5 seconds). Can this be done on the note9 in Bixby app and One UI? I find this note9 to be unnecessarily and extremely complicated! I am not a novice and have many, many years working with computers and phones but the note9 and the S-Pen are not as user-friendly, functionally helpful, or powerful as all reviews indicate. I wish I could return it.

You may use the link here: http://bit.ly/X9YKwE if you have your Samsung Account registered on your phone, as well as on Samsung.com. You may be able to utilize the unlock feature available there. Please be aware, that certain carriers may have disabled this feature. If this feature is unavailable to you, we recommend reaching out to your carrier for additional options they may have. Does NOT work. I need tech support. Why isn't Samsung fixing fixing the issue?

I have S7 just purchased 11/2016 and I am having the same issue. Sometimes the pin will work and sometimes it won't. Since I also have fingerprint lock I was able to unlock the phone. So, I went into settings and tried it there with no luck. Why hasn't Samsung fixed this issue? P. S. What is meant by "are you attempting to use a pin on swipe lock?".

It's the hard button that's in the middle of the phone, right under the screen. So pushing the "Home" button while an app is displayed puts the app in minimize mode. But it continues to use power?

How do I or can I minimize an app to run in background so it doesn't show unless the recent button is held for at least 2-3 seconds.
