Hey @trebor711 ,
That's great news. I wish they'd notify people when they're having network issues I remember when Bixby was first launched the server was overwhelmed and everyone was trouble shooting and trying to figure out how to get it running again One day it just started working again.
No matter I'm glad they got it working again.

Hey,
I have the same issue on the galaxy S9. I really don't understand how an app can sit there and display a spinning wheel for 15 minutes and not get reported to app issues in device care. Also Android 9.0 is supposed to be much more aggressive when dealing with misbehaving apps. Seems like it should be force stopping it.
While it's doing that it's using a lot of battery and memory. I gave up on it. It either works the way it's supposed to or I don't keep it on my phone. I'll wait for an update and try again later

Hey,
If we are talking about tap the phone Icon to answer a call you might have a look in settings /accessibility / interaction and dexterity / and turn on single tap to swipe. The item above that answering and ending calls has setting that let's us set the volume up key to answer calls. I've tried both they work pretty good.

Hey,
That's strange. I unlinked all of it from my account. My brother set it up on his iPhone.
If I tap on smart view it opens and displays the hub, 4 mini speakers, and the groups. I can cast whatever I'm doing on my galaxy s9 to all of them..

I see it now. I had to zoom in all the way and still they're really hard to see. Almost like ghost images. I use Nova and KLWP. I never use themes. I hope you can find one that works well.

Hey,
I'm not sure which issue you're referring to. The issue that the information is not clear when you have your display brightness set to 25% or the issue that we have to use the chevron or swipe down on the notification to expand the details and options.

Clear the camera app cache files Open settings /apps /and scroll down to the camera app Tap on it and a menu will open.. Look for an item on the list titled storage. Tap on storage and the options for clearing the cache and data should be there. Considering the issues freezing and overheating I would clear the cache and data.

Hey,
I usually long press the power button and when the menu pops up long press the red power off button. It should turn green and say safe mode. Tap on it and the phone should restart in safe mode.

Hey,
Galaxy S9 SM-G960U T-mobile. I don't have the link either. I use Nova activities to add shortcuts to one of my home pages. Battery Usage, Date Usage, Memory, Volume levels, and stuff like that. I check the data usage frequently and it would be great to have that in the quick access panel. I looked in quick settings developer tiles but it's not in there either.

Hey,
I have the galaxy S9. If we're talking about the Google App I have disabled it and put it to sleep. On my phone I can uninstall the updates but not the pre-installed version. Its not using any battery or memory.

Hey,
For screenshots the only thing I found so far is to lower the system volume to 0 in sounds and vibration volume. You won't be able to hear the battery charging sound when you plug in the charger. I tried using system UI and Samsung smart capture in settings apps but it didn't have any effect.

We don't have to close the app. We can use the navigation back button or gesture to go to the messages app home page. Put the phone down and you'll get the notification sound and edge lighting display when they reply Turn the screen on and Tap the conversation. It only mutes the notification when the conversation is open

That would be great Similar to the Google home mini hub and mini speakers. It has a setting continued conversation that activates the microphone again for a few seconds after the first command is completed. When your finished we can let the microphone time out or use the keyword thank you to end the extended conversation
Also this morning I installed 3 updates for Bixby. It would also be good if Samsung would move some of the Samsung apps installed to the updates page After I installed the Bixby updates I looked in the all page and there was a smart switch app update. No indication that it was there.

Hey,
I'm thinking a blocked number should be blocked at the carrier so they never make it to our phone. That would be a good thing
So your getting notifications that a blocked number called your number but was blocked by call blocking?
I suppose they could leave a voice mail if they wanted to.
It seems like a really weak attempt to help protect us from telemarketing and scamers. My brother and I call them back if they leave a voice mail. I am using the lowest iq on the planet and he is using the put them on hold multiple times method He holds the current record of 18 minutes before they realize they're being played but I think mine is more fun.
It's a really good question you ask and I hope someone has a good method for stopping these annoying notifications. It would be great if they would add an option in the phone app notifications to show or not show blocked numbers notifications.

I did the same thing with T-mobile tech support and Samsung tech support. It was such a simple question no room for confusion. The Samsung tech was a really strange we both started laughing when he left the conversation. I won't be asking them again It's not worth the time.

Hey, One last thing and I hope you will see the humor in it. Since the Android 9.0 update I have been sending and receiving extremely large files 57mb high resolution video files. Groups of 45mb image files all went out and came back in with no scaling. It was great T-mobile did state on their website updates page that rcs universal profile was included with the Android 9.0 update. Today it completely stopped sending as file transfers and is now converting them to MMS. So I deleted all the messages, deleted the cloud back up cleared the cache and data from Samsung Messages app. And here we are both wondering what happened to our messages app. It's definitely decided not to use the T-mobile rcs universal profile infrastructure any more. Lol

Hey, Sorry to hear that clearing the system cache partition didn't help. When I mentioned backing up to Samsung Cloud I meant from the selection of apps and settings available you really only need to backup your messages That way if clearing the data for the messages app removes all your most recent text messages you can use restore to select only the messages app from the list to get them all back. If you're carrier is Sprint then they set up rcs universal profile and are using Googles jibe cloud service. They used to recommend using the messaging+ app with that I don't know if they still do. Originally you were using the default Samsung Messages app and chat was working great. So I would stick with what you know can work and remove the android messages app. Clear the cache and data from the Samsung Messages app and start fresh If that doesn't work off to carrier tech support. Have mercy I hope they can fix this without too much trouble

It sounds like you can not connect to your carriers rcs universal profile infrastructure since the update. There's not much you can do with the Samsung Messages app that will get chat up and running again. Clear the cache and data probably won't help Back up your current messages to Samsung Cloud before you clear the data Whatsapp doesn't have access to your carriers chat network so it's not really relevant to the issue you're having Premium messaging services are for sending and receiving SMS short codes or numbers using cellular data network. I know you're not going to like this idea but a call to your carrier tech support might be a good option They might be able to make sure your phone and messages app are registered for use on their chat server. They all have different methods of setting up chat Some have a notification pop-up that let's us register by using a key, some have a message that just says we're using chat and my carrier that doesn't tell anyone anything.

This morning I tried to get my my T-mobile Wi-Fi calling to send me a notification. I changed its notifications settings from silent to sound and pop-up I turned Wi-Fi calling on and set it to Wi-Fi Preferred. Wi-Fi is on and connected I walked to the farthest end of the home down the stairs leading to the garage and closed the door I looked at my Wi-Fi connection speed and it was at 7 mbps and lower No notifications. So I opened settings about phone, status, Sim card status and it showed the mobile network state as disconnected and the mobile network type as iwlan. I know the Wi-Fi network connection was dropping out but Wi-Fi calling Wi-Fi Preferred was not charging the sim card status to reflect that. I went back into Wi-Fi settings and turned off auto reconnect That changed the sim card status right away Now I see the mobile network state is connected and the mobile data network type as LTE. It looks like the Wi-Fi network is disconnecting and auto reconnecting so fast that Wi-Fi calling never reacts to it. The T-mobile minimum threshold for Wi-Fi calling is 2 mbps I never got a single notification during this test. I've only been able to find a couple of posts online that have the exact same issue and the only thing they have been able to do is stop the notification from popping up every few minutes I really hope you can find a way to stop this I know it must be really irritating. The android 9.0 update caused some battery issues on my SM-G960U 2 minutes to install it and 2 months to fix it Lol I still have hope. Don't give up keep searching

Hey, I keep it off. I think you should also. I don't think I've ever had a notification stating that it's optomizing my Wi-Fi network connection. Further down on that same Wi-Fi Advanced settings page is Wi-Fi control history Probably no entries but I look once in a while

Hey, Have you looked in settings connections Wi-Fi Advanced If Adaptive Wi-Fi is turned on try turning it off while you're testing After an update last year I and a few others found that it was turned on and sending messages about switching from Wi-Fi to mobile I was ten feet from the router with strong signal and good speed

Set the display brightness to 50% Go back This command pulls down the quick access panel, sets the display brightness, closes the quick access panel and closes the Bixby interface. Close this app is also good. I use go back and close this app when closing different Bixby screens. Sometimes both CLF

Sorry to hear you are having the same issues. And thanks for posting it helps all of us. I usually pre-order by now but considering this and the issue with their trade in program it looks like I'm going to pass this year. Unless T-mobile will match the Samsung offer. Not likely. Take care CLF

It sounds like you have turned off most of the options and some that probably aren't related. I didn't see a reference to your carrier. I think they might be sending the update and pushing the notification. It might be worth a look. There is the downside to all of this I think.

Yes I agree and I opened everything I could think of to see how big the headers are and if they are collapsed or open.. So I have changed my mind even though it doesn't really bother me I like the idea of making it much smaller and reversing it would be great too. I also think that when we open conversation we should be able to swipe right to left to slide out the customization panel We can already swipe left to right to close it. It's a work in progress maybe will see some new designs once they put all the fires out
