I'm getting duplicate contacts. Sometimes it happens during sync. However, here is the thing, often it does this when I restart the phone. So after it boots, I go to the contacts list and I can see it blowing through there. Is there ANY fix for this? (vent - for 10 years this has been a problem with these devices). Does it have anything to do with the SIM card (I haven't loaded contacts on it, it's new from Cingular). Is there any way to prevent it from writing to the SIM?
I was wondering if anyone else was having the problem with texts from the web since getting their thunderbolt?
Since switching to this phone my sms updates from twitter haven't come in, also texts from aim have not been working.
Anyone else running into this problem, or maybe have a fix for it?
I've been having these issues along with a coworker intermittedly for the past two weeks, both on verizon running different phones. So I wouldn't say its just an issue with this phone, usually after a reboot or sending a few messages the backlog would come in
I checked my settings, I have them set to on for the edge notifications. I send myself email, get texts, while phone is face down, and the edge never lights up. Anybody else experiencing issues?
Mine is a AT&T 32gb Edge
*Update, thing i figured it out, I havent tested this yet but i think it's because i'm using google hangouts for texts and gmail for mail, not samsung specific apps.

I'm having the same problem. I'm on verizon. If I call the phone or text drom an edge contact, no edge reaction from the phone. I'm using the stock message app as well as the stock dialer and stock launcher. Were you able to figure this out?
I was having the same problem but was already using the stock Samsung apps. Restarting has now fixed this, whether thats permanently i don't know.
See this might help

Are you using the people edge? I had the same issue and I was able to get it working again. It is not an accelerometer issue. I disabled the people edge as soon as I got the phone since I figured I would never use it. After a day or 2 of using the phone I realized the edge lighting was not working at all even though it was enabled. What I did was re-enable the people edge, set a friend to a color and then I had that person text me to see if that was working, which it did, so at that point I was sure it wasn't a broken accelerometer as some users have stated. I then deleted that friend from people edge, (so that all colors were set to default) I once again turned off the people edge and then finally retested the edge lighting and voila! It worked. It must have been some kind of glitch that I reset by re-enabling the people edge and then turning it back off. It has been 2 days and I can confirm it is still working. I hope this might work for you too! Let me know! I don't think it works with hangout though. Try using the regular Samsung messenger.

My wife upgraded from a Note 3 to a S6 Edge a while back without any issues. All her contacts have synced correctly and all are visible in the Contacts tab but for some reason, when she tries to the use the Smart Dialing feature, not all contacts show up meaning that if she wants to ring someone, she has to go to the Contacts tab, find their name and ring them from there rather than just being able to type in a part of their name or number.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?
Dear all,
I'm currently running a stock S9+ on android pie, on the Virgin (VMNP using EE network) in the UK. I experience delays with WhatsApp and push gmail notifications very regularly.
From searching on the internet I have come across two common reasons. One of which suggests this is a Samsung One UI induced issue and a combination of Samsungs implementation of doze not working properly in the android Pie update.
The other reason suggests that Virgin is just a garbage network piggy backing on EE and they are throttling data based notifications for whatever reason?
Does anyone else have similar experiences to this and have you come across any possible solutions?
I have resorted to using Samsung email to solve the push notification problem, I just have it syncing every 15 mins which works perfectly fine and I actually prefer the app to Gmail. Battery impact is negledgable as well.
Any input here will be greatly received so thanks in advance!
