This can't be right because my S.O. and I are on the same carrier, with the same plan and his works, but mine doesn't. We have the same exact phone and got ours at the same time.

I don't know if you already figure this out, but oncircle only appear to a contact you have on people edge that has a s6 edge or edge plus also. Other than that you don't have the option I know this because it only appears to one single contact to me. And that contact have an s6 edge

Also need make sure other person has the oncircle activated on their phone and both people have the contact added to the people stripe, also make sure oncircle is activated in settings and also check messaging>settings>enhanced messaging is on too

I ran into same problem. Me with note 7 and friend with s7. At first we were able to send OnCirle msgs to each other but then not. She had the options to send them to me, but I wouldn't get them and I no longer had the options to send to her. In the settings there is an option to de-register phone number. I did this and then re-registered my phone number. Didn't change anything. Then I did the same to her's and that fixed it. I hope this helps someone.

Group messaging

I just switched from a Verizon note 3 to a sprint note 3 and noticed there is not group messaging option that will send separate message to others. usually there would be a check mark that says group conversation and you can uncheck that to send the same txt message to multiple people without them seeing it. I figured I would tri the S5 Moar port but I cannot get Wifi calling to work on it and its a necessity but it has the type of messaging app I need can someone please help me. I am currently on Vision X rom
Can anyone help

go to messages-setting-sms/mms untick group messaging. done
here is a screenshot I am talking about
Here is a screen shot of what I am talking about. Do you see how there is a check box that says group conversation. This check box was available on the Verizon version of the Note 3 I had but not on the Sprint version. I tried to use the apk from the galaxy S5 but then I had a lot of errors with MMS in general and not being able to send pictures also no one can send or receive over wifi at all. If someone could please help.

can anyone tell me how to please get this check mark in the normal app? I would appreciate it?

Schedule an email to be sent later.

Has the schedule an email option been removed or is it me who can't find it in email client?!
Here is how it works on my Note 3
Go to ‘Emails’
Enter the email address you want to send to and compose the message in the normal way
Tap the ‘Expand Menu’ icon
Tap ‘Schedule Sending’
Set the time you want the message to send
Set the date you want the message to send
Tap ‘Done’
I really need this great feature that I have been using a lot. Is there any other email clients that has it? I don't like K-9 Mail. Thanks in advance.
I miss this feature too, coming from Note4.
Seems the new mail app does not have it, in the message app it's still there!
What the hell, Samsung?! I relied on this simple email scheduling feature in the native email client on my Galaxy S3, S4, & S5. First they eliminated the micro sd card slot and removable battery (grrr!) And now I can't find this useful feature. I had liked my previous galaxies so much, each one better than the last, that I didn't bother to do much research before upgrading to the S6. I feel like Samsung has betrayed its loyal customer base in hopes of attracting a share of Apple's devotees. Dumb move!
My thought exactly. They are going in the wrong direction. Only good thing is the "premium" quality instead of the old Samsung plastic.
Why Samsung why???
Why did u remove this amazing feature Samsung..
.why?
has anyone found a way to get back the schedule send email later and schedule send text later options I had on my S5 that my $850 S8+ doesn't have?
S8+ here too and I'm disappointed that they haven't brought back that useful function. I tried moving the apk file from S5 and other roms with no success. We need someone with experience to help us out. I would even pay for a working stock email apk with schedule function.
Boomerang app has schedule send, so far so good.

Contacts sort by

Does anyone know how to sort contacts to last name , first name from first name, last name?
Every android phone I have used its phone>contacts>settings>sorty by> last name
I do not see the sort by in settings now and have scrolled through all the settings and still can't find it.
This is a must for me and I'd hate to think they just removed this setting. I have the verizon model.
Thanks in advance!

Probably related to the verizon model, present on my international at least.
Edit:
Or did you just check it through the phones app? The settings menu stays the same if you just change to the contacts tab there (for phone therefore), you have to open the dedicated contacts app to get its specific settings.
Contacts "Sort by..." not present
My phone is not showing any option to sort contacts by surname (or anything else). I have a S7 SM-G930FD which I've rooted, running Android Marshmallow v. 6.0.1, build no. MMB29K.G930FXXU1APD1. Going to Contacts>More>Settings only gives four options (Import/export contacts; Contacts to display (i.e. account/source); Share multiple contacts; and Service numbers.
Can anyone shed any light?
Incidentally, it's also not showing any of the stock Android ringtones...

I too have the same problem with my unlocked SM-G930FD. Sorting option is missing from Contacts/More/Settings screen and no where else to be seen, e.g. in Apps manager.
I have the same phone as yzfreeman above.
Have contacted supplier and Samsung and await reply!
Still nobody an idea?
I have the same problem and would love to hear a solution. Samsung tech support told me this 930FD software is different than the stock they sell in Germany with only one SIM
Solved it!
Go in the application Contacts (orange icon) not phone.
From there you go to Settings and after that you'll find the setting SortBy.

Samsung galaxy help/ unknown app

[QRCODE]I've had my phone for a while but sometime this month whenever I get a call I get an additional blue pop up saying unknown number and after the call ends a blue screen comes on. The name says Free caller ID. I checked the Privacy policy and the email underneath is [email protected]. When I googled it, it gave me DU caller but I have never installed a Caller id and I can't find DU caller or Free caller ID anywhere on my phone but this is keeps coming up whenever I get a call.
Is there any way to get rid of this? Please help

I just checked and I see a "Caller ID and spam protection" but it is off
I am having this exact same problem and I found the exact same detail when I did my Google searching.
This only recently started and I have no idea how or why. And if I search for this app or for a setting nothing comes up. When the window pops up you can turn off the settings and I've done it about 10 times and it always turns them back on.
This is annoying the hell out of me but I want it turned off but I simply cannot find any way to access it other than when it pops up

Does your carrier offer any kind of spam protection? I am with T-Mobile and they do have Caller ID service with Spam block. Another carrier Verizon, also offers something similar.

There is a window that pops up with this app and on it is the settings icon and a privacy policy link. if you click that link you can do some detective work to determine it's this company.

On unlocked devices there is a setting, but someone already reported that it is not turned on, still it would be good idea give a carrier a call and find out. I have used T-Mobile app to access my account and there was a section on my plan where I could select paid service or use the free one(they are different) and it mentioned caller id and spam block. It is possibly that it was enabled not on your phone, but on your carriers side and it could very well be a free service. I think Play Store has an app called "Hiya - Caller ID & Block" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webascender.callerid That is what unlocked S8 is using when users enabled it in phone app.

I am not on an unlocked device so it is definitely not that. And it's also somewhat new is not always happened. And yes it is a free service because within the app popup when you check the settings it eludes to this.
I have done pretty extensive searches on my phone within settings & certain logical apps and there is no way to get access to whatever this is if it is an app or a setting. The only access to any settings related to this app or when it pops up but like I said you can shut the whole app off and it just turns itself back on and undoes your settings. Whatever this is you can't get to it directly.

I understand, but what I was trying to say for example on unlocked devices there is a toggle for that kind of service which lets user know about spam and caller ID, but on carrier devices this feature is removed because carriers have their own service that they like to charge user for. My device for example doesn't show anything like I saw in the screenshots. You can open settings and type "notification access" in the search and it will show you the list of apps that have access. See if you can find it there and take appropriate action.

It is really annoying me too. I might just end up formatting my phone if I don't any solution soon. A guy on another thread about this said he formatted but then it came back.

Hey, someone from another thread found a solution. I cleared my Chrome history, cookies, and all synced data and I haven't had the issue anymore. I didn't format my phone tho
Edit: nvm, it came back so gonna format my phone and see if it finally disappears
Edit: AFter formatting, it's been a day, I restored my apps and data but it hasn't appeared anymore
Here is the link to his solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73750558&postcount=13
Hi am having the exact same problem and haven't found a solution yet. Its driving me crazy!
I am using a Samsung S8 and this app/feature literally appeared out of no where.
Any help or leads would greatly be appreciated!
I've been having the same exact issues that started a few weeks ago. I'm using a Samsung galaxy s6 edge from T-Mobile. I'm going to go into the store tomorrow to see if they can offer any solutions. This app is incredibly annoying! Especially since it wasn't authorized to start sending notifications!
I've messaged the email address they gave on the privacy policy asking how to discontinue the services. I got an email back with what I assume is Chinese characters in the body of the email and photos showing what to do. Worked for about a day and then came right back. I'll update if T-Mobile has any useful tips.

So I didn't get to go to the T-Mobile store but coincidentally I was uninstalling apps that I don't use a few days after I made that post. I ended up uninstalling 2 apps, one of which was viva video and I think this might have been the root of the problem. Last time I clicked on that app, it looked completely different and I wouldn't have recognized it as viva video if the name wasn't there. I also noticed that the app will open and run by itself but will not show up in my open apps list (hopefully that makes sense). Even when I had not used it for days, it would still show up in my battery optimization list as an app that needs to be closed. Must be a bug with the new face life. Haven't had any issues since then. I really hope this helps.

No message blocking by phrases in the Message app

Hi,
I use Note8 and have recently upgraded to Note9.
In the Note8 there is an message blocking option in the Message app that can block message by either phone number or phrase (in message content).
In the Note9, this option is still there but now it has only blocking by phone number. There is no blocking by phrases anymore.
Do you guys have the same issue?
And I don't know why Samsung has omitted this useful option.

It's still there on the my Note 9 as well, same place as the Note 8
There are many other message apps you can use. I've always used Next SMS, as my default message app. I just upgraded from a Note 4, to the Note 9, and my messages still work exactly the same way. It does many, many, many more cool things than the Samsung message App. I never knew there was a option to schedule a message to be sent, but thought it would be cool to compose a text and not have it go out at 2am as my son loves to do. It wakes me up. It also lets you filter an incoming text based on a keyword or phrase.
I love how you can have a different ringtone, theme, background, font size, message color, etc for each contact. The default message App doesn't do much at all. Just try different ones until you find one you like.
Yeah, i have the exact same problem. I live in Turkey. A spam message heaven. I started using "Mr. Number" app, looks simple and powerful.

I do not have the message, I have the contact saved, the contact without a phone number, and I cannot add it. I suppose I have to wait for a message from this contact and then do the thing you mentioned. Before, in Hangouts, you could add the contact directly, no matter if it had a phone nr or not
Note 8, upgraded to android 9, the blocking by phrases option is missing too.
This is good feature as this advertisement ppl change numbers all the time and send you the same message.
Eg. Di you want to gamble?
If you block the phrase "gambke" all message with this word will be block.
Is there no way to flash the 4.4 Messages app from Oreo on a rooted device running Android 9?
If you go to block numbers option you can choose a contact or a message, but if the contact you are trying to add does not have a phone number it won't appear for selection. I've tested it!
But if still have the message on your inbox it might be possible to add it to the blacklist. This I haven't tested yet...
