I just got the Edge 6 from Verizon and I can say that I am having some issues with the phone at first the got rid of the button to take you to the settings of the app you are using, but what is driving me up the wall is on my Galaxy 3 and 4 when my face book contacts would sync with my phone my calendar would show up coming events and birthdays. On the Galaxy 6 that is not the case I have gone to the Verizon store also spent 1 hour on the phone with Verizon I also talked to Samsung support and went to Best Buy and no one could figure out why that is happening. What am I doing wrong I will take any help for suggestions or please let there be a solution.

I recently Flashed a new Radio on my AT&T Tilt/HTC Kaiser device with Stock AT&T/HTC Rom running Windows 6.1 Pro. Recently as in 3 days ago. I haven't sent one text message until I tried to this morning. I have on my Today screen: Date, Messaging and Calendar. I can click on the date field as well as the Calendar..but the Messaging Field was Bricked! Now I received a Text notification from Tmobile around 3:45AM after I paid my bill. So I know my Text Messages were working at that time. This morning around 10:00AM..is when I noticed that it was Bricked and I couldn't check it. I couldn't even access it from Xpress Mail..it would not allow me to..and for that matter..Xpress Mail with my Hotmail Email is not working. I went into the Windows Folder and clicked on Tmail.exe and it does nothing. I rebooted the phone...I even took the battery out...still nothing. I'm getting an error message when I try and re-register my Xmail S770 something like that or to that effect...can someone help me!!! I made a backup file 3 days ago but whenever I used Sprite to restore my phone it always leaves me with duo selections in my menu options to which I cannot uncheck any of them.
Also to piggy back on that
When I had stepped out the Doctors Office to see if that would make a difference..I immediately had an H in place of the E...the H then switched to 3G as I was still yet walking to my car..."Bowie, Maryland" I get to the car then it goes back to EDGE. I actually tried placing a call and getting on the Net when I noticed the H and 3G and I was denied.
Hey guys,
I have an unlocked HD7 from Bell and I'm using it under Rogers right now. I have a problem where my incoming SMS are behind by 5 hours. (They come right away but the stated time on them is off by 5 hours).
I tried fiddling with the timezone settings to match the times but then it messes up my calendar times.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Joey
Anyone figure this out?
I am 2 hours out (thinking it has to do with where the Bell SMS center is located)
hoping someone can figure out a fix
I am in Calgary, AB, Canada and using Fido if that makes a difference. I am thinking I could update to a different ROM, anyone know if that will work and what ROM I should choose?
thanks in advance
This is a known issue at Microsoft i mentioned it to them when i went there for an interview as well the only way to fix it is by doing the following.
1) goto Settings> Date & Time>
2) Turn off "set automatically"
3) Set Time Zone to "UTC Coordinated Universal Time"
4) Manually enter the correct time in the "Time" field
5) Adjust the date if you have to.
And Save and restart your phone this should fix the issue its not an actual fix but it works.
Well I took your advice and changed the timezone to UTC - 03 (then manually set the time)
Seems to have done the trick; will just have to remember to adjust for time zones I guess
thanks
Wait; spoke too soon
that messed up all the times for my email, the emails are all time stamped 3 hours in the future.
Oh well, guess I will just never have that "Perfect" phone.
Just annoying as this HD7 is probably the best phone I have ever had but there are so many of these annoyances...

What email are you using on the device? Outlook or just a standard Hotmail / Live acct? I will be unlocking my Bell HD7 very soon to use it on Rogers as well and I do not use Outlook so if the fix above sorts out the TEXT issue and does not bother my "Hotmail / Live" email then I will be a happy man however... I dont really use my email on my phone that much anyways so I guess as long as this fixes the SMS timestamp issue then I should be fine.
At any rate... If you could let me know anyways I would appreciate it.
***EDIT*** I tried this today after unlocking my Bell HD7 and running it on Rogers and it did not work at all. Now instead of the time stamp being 4 hours slow, it is now 2 hours fast using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Anyone else know how to get a proper time stamp on SMS after unlocking and using on a different network?
I just gave up and am now licing with a 4 hour tamestamp issue on my text.
my email, calendar and everything else works so this is just something I guess I have to live with. Not that bad
Email via hotmail & yahoo using the WP7 email program
My EVO does the same thing. Only when my cousin sends MMS he's on cricket. It has also done it when the towers messed up in my area.

Ya... Same with me. I gave up as well and am now living with the timestamp issue on my texts, mms, etc... My outgoing texts go out at the right time and are being received by the recipients at the right time but when I receive a text it is out of wack.
What I dont understand is that when I get a text and I get the "toast notification" at the top of my phone, the time stamp there is CORRECT but when I open my messages and look at the actual message itself it is out of wack. WEIRD!!!
Does yours do this as well?
So I got my Nexus 6 the other day and I am coming from an LG G3, both on Verizon. I have hangouts installed on those 2 devices plus a Windows 8 and a Windows 7 PC. When I send messages in either a group hangout or a normal single person hangout on the PC, the messages do not sync to my Nexus 6 but does to my LG G3 on Wifi. Plus I am constantly getting a spinning update circle in my hangouts app like it is waiting for more conversations to pop up but nothing ever comes.
I can send and receive messages on my phone in hangouts and they will show up in the chats on my PC but not the other way around. This is pretty frustrating because I come and go from my computer a lot and would like up to date conversations. This is the only device i have ever had an issue like this with. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? i tried removing hangouts from the system, restoring from my last phone, restoring back to stock, signing out of the phone, signing out of the PC, everything. I just don't know how to fix it.

I doubt it's you. Same thing is happening on my sister's Note 3 (AT&T). Might just be a server thing that needs to be addressed...
huh...weird. since this is the only device of mine doing it. my nexus 7 seems to be updating just fine too.
I'm in the same boat. I never ran into this on my OnePlus One, but I switched about a week ago when my Nexus 6 came in and now any messages I send from the desktop/Chrome version does not sync into Hangouts on my Nexus. In addition to not having the issue with my OPO, my Galaxy Tab Pro tablet does not have this issue. Neither does my wife's LG G3. We're both on T-Mobile.
Wanted to jump in to this topic to say I am experiencing a similar issue on both my Droid Turbo (4.4.4) and my Nexus 7 (5.0.1)... I am beginning to wonder if it is something related to Lollipop. The major way I can tell there is an issue, is if I clear cache and data from Hangouts and re-sign in, none of my previous undeleted hangouts show up. Only if I open a new Hangout with that contact will I see the conversation history.
I am having the same issue on my Note 2 as I wait for my N6 to ship. It started happening as soon as I updated the app to the latest version
FYI, I updated to the latest version of Hangouts and all syncs again. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/hangouts/hangouts-2-5-81587410-apk/
My husband has a droid turbo. About a year or so ago, it was dropped and we replaced the screen on it. He has recently dropped it again several times cracking the screen. Today he dropped it again and after this drop the screen was dark and the phone keeps restarting. We can hear the start up sounds and vibration, but we can't see anything.
Is there anything we can do to get this phone working for the next few days? Or at the very least so we can get his contacts saved? (He's pretty nontechnical and we're pretty sure not all of his contacts were backed up to an email)
(He currently has verizon service, we just ordered a new phone on eBay and we'll be switching to AT&T. So we're hoping to just get it up and able to run for a day or two so family can contact him if needed. Or at the very least so he can save his contact and anything else that might be on there that he needs.)

Does he use Google contacts or some proprietary Verizon contacts address book?

Verizon does back up stuff to their cloud. I'll look into that. Thanks.
Hi,
Just got the verizon S8 a week ago and this has been driving me nuts. When my gf calls, her name doesn't come up. Only displays her number. My contacts are on my gmail account. All other contacts i have show up. She has an iphone and her name showed up on my old s5. Her phone is already set to display caller ID and so is mine. I spend like a few hours aday trying to troubleshoot this.. No luck whatsowever. Weird thing is, sometimes when she calls, her number appears with a ;oli=62 behind it. Example: 714-555-5555;oli=62. I googled oli (originating line information) but it makes no sense to me..
Things i've tried already:
1) resync gmail contacts
2) deleted her contact on gmail/phone/etc
3) readded her contact to phone internal storage and also gmail again
4) tried in safe mode to see if a application is blocking it
5) rebooted phone of course
6) re-adding her contact info with her data deleted from gmail
7) called verizon support
8) and last but not least.. reset/restored original s8 to factory
HELP.. i was gonna try to exchange the phone for another s8 but i really don't think that might be the issue.. i tried researching IPHONE issues with caller ID not showing up but all her settings seems correct.
Thanks in advance.
Same...
I'm having the same issue on my Note 5 after updating to Nougat. I'm having the issue with only one friend, no one else.
I found a temp fix. Go to your a computer and log into your Google contacts. Add that weird number. Example. 555-555-5555;oli=62 to the contact along with the regular number. That should fix it.

Same issue on my new s8+, adding the number plus ;oli=62 on the Google contacts via editing from your Google contacts from googles website works great, thanks for the work around. The only problem I have with these Samsung devices is the slow ass updates. Their still on 7.0 even though 7.1.2 has been released for months
Me too. I have a Note 5 on VZW. Pretty sure it started after the Nougat update as well. And also for only one contact. I know I could add those characters to the contact info, but I want to know why the heck it happens for only one contact. Found this info (not that it cleared up jack for me, lol) - https://www.dialogic.com/webhelp/IMG1010/10.5.3/WebHelp/oli_isdn_sip.htm
i have this same problem. It is on a S6 and has been happening since before the Nougat update. It only happens to me for 2 contacts 1 full time and the other off and on. If i look at the missed calls screen afterwards the phone displays the correct contact just during the incoming call is it not displaying.
the problem actually stopped for me around the time of the roll-out and then started back up a week or so later.
The only connection that i can find is that both of them use Family mobile (T-mobile) service.
Last time i researched this problem, i found the same problem a few years ago with T-mobile and VOIP phones but never found a solution
its the feds
Are you just being a douche or are you serious?

This is the same problem I'm having. I have the S8 on Verizon the two contacts whose numbers don't work are both on T-Mobile. One of the numbers it happens to constantly and has the xxx-xxx-xxxx;oli=62 while the other number does it intermittently w/o the extra's at the end.
"Me To" Bus
Ok, I'm a "Me to" I blocked all phone calls except for people in my contacts, because of all the Spam calls.
But my best friend gets blocked because of this problem.
I have a Samsung S4 Note, Also using Verizon. And google contacts.
I'm going to save him only under Verizon Contacts. And see if that does anything.
He is using a Blu Phone and also using T-Moble.
Anyone have any idea's?
Jim
my phone just started doing this when I installed a reminder ap. I uninstalled it, and it stopped. Hope this helps.
