Help with s8 plz - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi. I just got the S8 and I am pretty good with phones/computers. But I can't find a way to disable the pop up I keep getting when I receive a txt message. I use Textra and never had this problem. I have read threads and have tried suggestions but it's not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have literally tried everything.

@Iamgrl36
1.Go to Contacts app
2.Click on your own number/profile
3.Click on Profile Sharing
4.On the bottom of the list, there should be something called Registered Information. Click on that
5.Click on the "More" option on the top right
6.Click De-register

Touch-it 4.4

I have tried to search with no luck. My question is when i installed touchit 4.4 i do not have any of the pop up menu's IE when making a text and i start typing the persons name or a word it never pops up suggestions. With over 200 contacts i would like to have the short option to type in 3 letters or so and select the contact from the actual Sms screen. Another thing is when i goto create new (msg) i dont get the option to do MMS or SMS. Lastly off the top of my head when i am typing words i like the option with suggestions again. Can anybody either point me to the proper settings or registry keys to re-enable these features. Also i noticed when i put touch it on my phone all of my contacts are doubled now ? how can i fix this without manually deleting them all

1. I havent seached for a fix as far as typing input for SMS recipients, I have just gotten use to clicking menu and adding someone from my contacts instead of typing there name.
2. If you put messaging on your today screen, click on the no unread messages bar and it will take you to the messaging center to pick MMS,SMS, email account.
3. I did think the wings OEM text suggestion program was great, Ive gotten use to not using it with 4.4. Tho if you use the virtual keyboard the program is still enabled.
I dont know if any of this will be a fix for you, it is alil info. There might be things you have to get use to not having with Touch, but be glad you have more than 14mb of memory.
Also, for the duplicate contacts, I would just make sure all your numbers are embedded on your sim card, then select all from your contacts and delete them. Open SIM manager from programs, select all from menu and save all to contacts.
Yes true maybe someone can find the registry keys to enable it, Speaking of registry besides the lame attempt at wiki of a good solid registry hack,tweak mod guide does anybody have a better site while i was Out of town visiting over xmas i stumbled accross a site that offered so many registry hacks but i didnt book mark it
Also a few more questions i get really mad that the Wing does not allow lets say .mid .gif etc files in MMS's is there a way to disable automatic file deletion in mms? sorry if this doesnt make much sense just worked 14 hrs.
you can just write your contact's name (or part of their name) and then go to "menu" and click on "check names".
This should be easier than going through your contacts.

typing a name and then going thru menu is more steps than just clicking add recipent and clicking the contact you want.
I dont know any other registry sites.
Good Luck

"Sent from my Windows Phone"

Whenever I send an email from Outlook on the phone, it adds this signature line "Sent from my Windows Phone". It can be deleted manually in the email, but I'd prefer it was never added in the first place. Does anybody know how to remove it automatically?
I've searched these forums, and there are solutions for removing a similar message in Windows 6.1, but the user interface is obviously all different in 6.5, and I can't find anything in the menus that might do the trick.
Thanks very much for any advice.
Go into messaging, then Menu - Tools - Options then click on the "Signatures" button...and change/delete/whatever...
(Sorry in advance, if some of the functions mentioned beneath is called something else than what I write. I am on a danish ROM, and there not 100% sure what the english options are called... But you should be able to figure it out anyways )
Choose your e-mail...
Choose "more"...
Choose "menu"...
Choose "functions"...
Choose "settings"...
Press the button called "signatures"...
Delete what it says in the window there...
Press the OK button in the top right corner...
Et voila!
..go to email - menu - options - signature.
There you can change.

Go to email, click Inbox then Menu > Tools > Options and click "Signatures..." (Edit: it seems that this is nth post about the same, sorry for slow reaction)
Thank you very much. I'd not scrolled down my menus enough to find the "Tools" option under settings, and there are also different settings under different menus (both under HTC Messages and Windows). I've now managed to work it out from your helpful posts.
Thanks for this from me too. I've yet to find a question that I need to ask after spending a few minutes with the search button.

Many thanks from me too! The UK Vodafone ROM installs a new microsoft message!
I like it when it says: Sent from my Htc.. it sounds smug..
...
After all when u send mail from iPhone it says: Sent from my iPhone
Mine says "Sent from my iPhone trouncing HTC HD2"

text message icon shows 1 new text !!

hi, can anyone help me, ive got a new message shown on the message tab, however i have no new messages. i deleted my entire inbox/sent and it still shows a new message. can anyone help me remove this?
when a new message does come through its shows 2 messages, and continues to show more and more as they come, but always left with one message on display tab.. this is the second time this has happened after a hard reset, and i hate doing a hard reset.
thanks again
A quick search might have found the answer you were looking for...
FixUnreadCount is your friend.
my apologies but thats the first thing i did, i suppose i wasnt searching using the right words, appreciate your reply thank you
did you found the solution?...
if not , select in activesync the options email on......
go to the text and you can delete it if you want,.. and owyeah select the option
in activesync back the way you want,......
the message came when you configured a Server in activeSync,......ciao
Thanks to onthemail for the fix:

run the program and then restart your phone (soft reset)

Removing HTC e-mail signature

I'm trying to remove the irritating HTC e-mail sig from my Leo.
I know this is an apparently daft question, as I've duly searched and the rest of the world gives lots of simple ways of doing this.
Method 1
As I'm a new poster I can't post links, but on thread ID 605124 on this site suggests "Simply go to START/E-Mail. Choose MENU/Options. Now there should be a button "Signatures", press it and change the text in the box."
If I try that I get as far as a menu that has active options for New, Send/Receive, Follow up and Go To, and there isn't even a greyed out "options".
Method 2
Again, i can't post the link, but thread ID 85752 at the ppcgeeks forum suggests "In Outlook.... Tools > Options > Signatures"
However my Outlook icon only brings up options for Contacts, Calendar, Notes and Tasks.
Method 3
A verizon forum suggests "In my TP2, I opened Messenging, and then on the SELECT AN ACCOUNT screen, I went to lower right of the screen, and selected MENU -> Options. There is a signature button below my "Tap an Account to Change Settings" box, and I am able to disable signatures on all of my e-mail accounts."
I don't get the select an account screen, but if I open "HTC Messages > Settings > Options > Signature", then all three options are already de-selected and the signature box is blank. I tried replacing it with a space and telling it to use that as a sig, but that didn't work either.
---
I also tried the question on another forum at Modaco. Someone posted a screenshot of what they get then they follow the 1st way suggested here, and I get to a different screen if I follow the same steps. I'm thinking it might be because I have unselected "display account picker when opening messaging", but I can't find any way to get it back!
Any wonderful person able to help?
Go to E-mail tab, Inbox, Menu, *scroll down*, Tools, Options, Signatures..
Hope that helps.
Damm! All that because I didn't notice the scroll bar!
Thanks!
The worst of it is I knew I was being daft and I didn't want to post the Q because I knew there must be an answer that was really obvious, and I still couldn't find it.
You arent the first to not notice the scroll, , you arent even the first this week, and i'm pretty sure you wont be the last.

Solved: Wear24 can't initiate text via google assistant

Can anyone send text messages via voice?
I'm using messages and not paying verizon, so via bluetooth.
Try this... (on the watch)
Pull up the google assistant
"send a text message to (person), '_________' "
I'm given two options
X Cancel
> Send
via watch
Error screen with a cloud
Sorry, something went wrong
I cannot get it to send.
What I think is happening is that the watch is trying to send the message via Verizon and their Verizon's Message+ app that I have disabled.
How do I set the default to google's Messages app that I use on both the watch and phone?
Anyone able to get this working?
Any ideas?
FYI yes, I can send a message normally via the watch and the app and yes I can reply to texts when they come in.
This is just an issue when I try to initiate a text via the assistant
OK - got it working for anyone who wants to know
Go to apps and find (simply hit the button)
"SIM Info"
open it
Hit the 3 dots at the bottom
3 dots again for "Advanced"
3 dots a third time for "Stop Using Carrier Profile"
Hit the check mark
You should now be good and ready to send via phone

I legit don't see that with my watch, can someone post picture or 2, upgraded to Wear 2.7.0 and android 7.1.1 on watch.
Where are you lost?
Same versions.
"that" is difficult to work with.
Maybe you could post pictures of what you see

Things listed is not possible with my wear 2.0 update either. When you click on sim info with newest update, the app gives an error for no connected to verizon(something like this)
Was possible with 1.5 or whatever it ships with.
Again, I am on the SAME version as you.
It works for me.
Have you disabled any apps?
Or, changed any settings that may be causing this error.
Also, try to get the error message in it's entirety.
Maybe a photo?
........
Maybe try turning on or off cellular service.
Maybe try restarting.
Try a few things. It should work, because it works for me.
But, sadly because it works for me and I am on the same version, I'm not the person to help you.
Maybe someone else can chime in.
Good luck
This works for me as well. Please post a screen shot of where you are stuck since the instructions posted earlier worked fine for me.

Here's what I see.
You may have to do a reset?
Fyi I already have it disabled. (Start vs stop)
No 3 dots here either, bummer...
Had to do a factory reset, i disabled cellular and all verizon stuff. Must be misunderstanding what you typed, I found it after clicking on side button once and scrolling down for sim info, I was going under settings/apps/system apps which is wrong lol.
thx mate.

Worked!
So this indeed does work - BUT - what if I WANT LTE data on the watch and to be able to send an SMS vis Google Assistant? Any ideas on that? I seems like Assistant is trying to send via the default messaging app and it does not have 'permission' to send via LTE. So either the messaging app would have to be Messages+ or the permission granted. The solution is above my knowledge of Android.

I agree with you. Disabling LTE altogether is NOT a solution but rather figuring out how to reassign the default messaging app may be the answer.
Unable to send text via assistant after following steps
Hi,
Thank you all for this thread! I just got this watch and followed all the steps mentioned. Unfortunately, I'm still unable to send texts via the assistant as it tries and the gives up saying " could not connect to phone". The same can be seen in the notification panel where it shows that it's disconnected from the phone. I've tried everything including a factory reset, deleting carrier and disabling all version apps. Here are some screenshots of my sim-info on my watch. Kindly let me know anything else that you feel that I should try. Thanks!

you should try and install the stock google message app in your phone, it worked for me and try to keep your watch in wifi it can also help
I did it it changed the messaging ("through Phone" from "through watch") but neither sends a message ( i am using the google messaging app) " says couldn't connect to your phone" nor calls (still says "through watch") Any thoughts?
