    Got it! I actually chatted with Samsung today and found out that even though there isn’t a Sound setting for Repeat Notifications, it’s automatic when you select Vibrate. On my S4, there was a separate setting for Sound when you selected Repeat Notifications, which is why I assumed it would be the same on the S6. (Wrong assumption.)

    It would be nice if it was explained somewhere that when you select Repeat Notifications and Vibrate, the default notification audible tone also repeats until you read the message.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Hello Sorry, i’m so used to android and my old phone so a few things have bothered me with the new s6 edge….

    1. I don’t want my camera to make the shutter sounds but can’t turn it off without muting the rest of the sounds, like my messages or calls. I was able to do this with my s4 mini in the camera settings but there’s no option for it?

    2.I was able to make certain things private like, hide items in my photo gallery, lock messages and memos. I cannot find these options on the s6 edge??

    Yes, I got a notification in the panel. Yes, I am in sound mode. I reset all of the notification reminder settings. It seems to be working now, however, it sounds the reminder tone at random intervals.

    I have it set at 3 minutes, but it has its own mind and sounds the tone at 1 minute, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 10 minutes, and whenever it wants to sound the reminder tone. I’m pleased that it’s working, but wonder why it doesn’t use my interval setting. Any ideas why it uses random intervals?

    Reply

  47. Sharon says

    Well, at least it’s working again. It can use whatever intervals that it wants to use as long as it keeps reminding me. 🙂

    Thanks so much for your time and effort. I appreciate it! I’ll definitely keep this site bookmarked for future use.

    the original reason I was directed to your page was in answer to my search for how to change the function of the buttons on the galaxy s6 phone; specifically the power button. I would like it to be disabled if possible because it is easily hit when in my pocket and keeps turning on the phone
    or I could change it to another function that only works when the phone is on
    your article says the button function can be changed but does not tell how to do it

    Is there a way to set up the way you view your text messages?

They show up with all my outgoing texts at the top and all the other incoming messages on the bottom. They are completely separate and I’d like to be able to view them integrated together.

    When at home, which is much of the time as I’m retired, I want to use my WiFi network, but my S6 sometimes switches to free WiFi even though the signal is weaker. This results in important WhatsApp messages not downloading and, at least some of the time, text messages and emails too.

    How can I prevent the phone from switching to another connection when I’ve already selected the one I want?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 phone. I cannot gets the events to show on s planner. It only shows up as a green dot. If I tap the date and green dot it will show the event on the bottom. My husband has the galaxy 4 and it shows the actual calendar and events, as does my new to samsung tablet . Could it be the way it is set up? Frustrating. Please help

    Does anyone know how to set up a separate tone/sound for a new email versus a new text? I just upgraded from the Galaxy4 to the 6 Edge and it doesn’t seem to have an option to distinguish different notification tones for different apps.

    I have the S6. Go to Settings, Sounds and notifications, Ringtones and sounds. You’ll be able to set different sounds for texts and email messages. You can even set different tones for multiple email addresses.

    add a custom folder to email. I would like to add a folder called “keepers” to my email app so I don’t have so many emails accumulated in my inbox. I have a galaxy S6.

    When my alarm goes off, it used to show a screen that I can choose snooze or cancel. That screen does not come up when the alarm goes off it is just black. It is like it is on automatic snooze. Goes off every 5 minutes for 15 minutes. How do I fix it?

    Hi Simon
    There isn’t. That is how my old phone worked. The new one has the word Susan planner at the left. Date in the middle (that does nothing when you tap it) and the right says today and then search but neither allow me to change the veiw.

    Hi everyone. Can you tell me how to disable the ‘home settings applied’ function on the six edge. It’s very frustrating as it turns my screen brightness down to half and nearly as soon as I’ve put it back it does it again. Thanks in advance.

    I’m really annoyed with the alarm clock on my s6. I can set an alarm and it works just fine, but when I try to dismiss the alarm or try to hit “snooze”, it won’t let me! It will just keep blaring for like 3 full minutes no matter what. I tried changing the settings, but it still won’t let me dismiss or snooze. Right now, I have it set to where the volume buttons should dismiss the alarm, but it won’t work! I thought maybe there was something wrong with the buttons, but there’s not. They work with everything else on my phone. It’s just the clock app I’m having issues with. What do I do?

    Using a voice command, I say to my Galaxy S6 “set a timer for 5 minutes.” Doing this opens an app called “clock,” which I think is the native clock app for my phone. However, I can’t find this app any way other than voice command. Can you tell me how to find it?

    Is it possible to change the blue and yellow colours that messages are typed on from senders and receivers in messaging? I can’t stand yellow thank you

    The new Nougat upgrade has changed the colour of my calendar to red and orange, which I can’t see properly (I guess all colourblind people also have a problem with this). How do I change it, please?
    The same upgrade has added the shift characters to each letter on the keyboard, also making it hard to see. How do I change that too, please? The change display only gives a bright yellow version and I just want clear black on white back.

    When I push the home button once it opens the google assistant. I do not want that. I want it to just take me home. I can not find how to fix this.

    Is there any way I can still get the major software updates for my S6 Edge? I am no longer with AT&T, , so I cannot get OTA updates from them, but the device is still locked into them as a carrier. I’m on 6.0.1, and I understand there’s a newer version which likely fixes most of the issues I’m having. Is there a way to get the update from Samsung maybe? I’d rather not use a custom ROM if I can avoid it. Thanks!
