Samsung 6 edge on the LOCKSCREEN is a time and date box and a weather box. How can I remove both from the lockscreen. (These appear before I swipe to unlock)

I think you can only turn off weather, but not the time/date, in the lock screen.
To turn off weather in Galaxy S6 lock screen, go to Settings–Applications, scroll all the way down to Weather (under Application settings). Tap Weather, then you can turn off weather info on lock screen, or edge scree or S planner.

Deb says
I thought this question was referring to the night clock, not which items are on your edge when swiped.
It’s supposed to make it so you can see the time from bed without having to tapply a button or even touch your phone. You can select which hours it is on, but it was actually too bright for me at night so I disabled it.
Rhonda says
Is there a way to change the way to turn off the alarm on the s6 instead of swiping?

No, the alarm gesture in Galaxy S6 is fixed. Maybe some third-party alarm apps allow you to define or select your own gestures.

I dropped and dragged my ios playlists into my Galaxy and it bundled the whole set into one playlist, 66 hrs long!

how do you block a caller on the Galaxy s6
simon says
Start Contacts app, open the contact, tap More (top right), tap add to auto reject list.
A better way to block a caller permanently is let your phone company blacklist/block the number. Most phone companies provide similar services.

On my Galaxy S6 my screen goes black and a white box appears with this “touch whiz has stopped working” I can’t get it off the screen. I’ve rebooted and even taken it into a T Mobile store and they told me it was a 3rd party app causing the problem. I didn’t have any 3rd party Apps on phone. I have gone thru 4 phones with same problem. Help.
simon says
Boot the phone into safe mode. If you get same problem in safe mode, you should reset the phone. Please follow this guide to boot into safe mode: https://gadgetguideonline.com/galaxys6/samsung-galaxy-s6-guides/how-to-use-samsung-galaxy-s6-safe-mode/

Thank you for that information. It worked.
Mike says
On My S2 and S4 I used to be able to display my apps in alphabetical order. I could set this using the settings button. How do we do this in the S6. I just want and need and alphabetical order for when I need to find one app in my 120 that are listed.

This feature was removed from new Samsung skin, TouchWiz, you can use app folders to manage apps in apps screen or home screen.
Some other third party launchers may have this feature.

Is there a way to make sound notifications for text messages continue until the message is read?
simon says
No, this is not the purpose of notification. You can set notification reminder (in settings – accessibility) so that the phone bugs you if you have any unread notifications.
you can also use your own music file with longer duration.

J says
Sorry. I didn’t make myself clear. What my Galaxy 4 did, and I would like for the 6 to do, is at a set interval it would REPEAT the notification sound for text messages until the message was read. For example, if I don’t have the phone on me, and it only sounds the notification once, it may be hours before i know that I have an unread text message. Is there a setting for that?
simon says
In Settings–Accessibility–Notification reminder.

Sharon says
I have the same question. In Settings > Accessibility > Notification Reminder, (under Notification Settings) I only see two options: Vibrate and LED indicator. I don’t see an option for Sound.
The feature description states, “Set the device to alert you via, vibration, sound, or LED indicator when you have unread notifications.” I don’t see an option for Sound. Am I missing something??
simon says
Notification sound always follow notification (sound mode) settings.

How do I delete all e-mails on my S6? On my old S4, there was a “delete all” option.
Kathy says
Is there anyway to see a notification flash across the top of the screen? Thank you

For messages, you can turn on pop up display in message settings. But it’s actually annoying most time.
Start messages app, then tap more- settings – notification to turn on/off pop up display.

You are in download mode because you used the wrong key. It should be volume up, not volume down.

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.
J says
I could not make that work for me, but I found a wonderful app that does just what I wanted. It is Missed Call Reminder v2.1.

Thank you! I’ll make a note of that app just in case I need it in the future.

Thanks!

Siobhan says
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??
Thanks for any help.
Siobhan says
I’ve figured out the private thing but still no clue on the first problem??? Anyone know??
simon says
There is no seperate settings for galaxy s6 camera shutter sound. You have to enter vibrate mode or sound mode to mute s6 camera shutter sound as detailed in this guide https://gadgetguideonline.com/galaxys6/galaxy-s6-camera-guide/how-to-silence-galaxy-s6-camera-shutter-sound/

Okay thank you!
Also when my phone is in sound mode it makes a sound every time i like a picture on facebook is there any way to turn this off without setting it to vibrate/mute mode and without turning all my other notifications off?
Siobhan says
I’ve also now figured out the facebook sound problem. I turned the “sounds” off in the facbook app settings rather than going through the phone’s app settings 🙂

Anyone else having problems connecting their samsung s6 to bluetooth? I have an x3 BMW 2013 and my phone will not stay connected. it is on the car because everyone else’s phone stays connected
Rita says
I have the Galaxy s6 I have repeat notification for messages on and it’s not working what else can I do to get the notifications to repeat when I don’t see my messages

Did you mean notification reminder? Do you actually have notifications in notification panel? If you dismiss the notifications in notification panel, the notification reminder will not remind you again even you don’t read the message.

Sharon says
Please explain what you mean by “dismiss the notifications in the notification panel”. What actions do you do to “dismiss”? Do you mean swiping down on the notification panel?
simon says
Swipe left or right on the notification to dismiss the notification. You can also use clear all to clear notifications in notification panel.

Thank you for the response. Yes i meant reminder. I went through everything again and i had default notifications sound off. I turned it on and it worked.
Sharon says
I had my notification reminder working great, and all of a sudden it stopped working. I have all of the settings correctly set. Has anyone else had this problem?
I recently had the Lollipop update. Could the update have affected my notification reminder feature in some way that it stopped working?

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?
simon says
Not sure. It could be caused by other apps. I tested it on my own edge (normally I don’t turn it on) , it works as expected.

Nicole says
Would any one know why all of a sudden face book notifications stopped showing on the drop down tool bar? I can not seem to get them to show up there again?

Do you get any other notifications? You probably turned on the Do not disturb or turned off notifications for Facebook.

Jackie says
How do I clear out the voicemail icon in the notification panel. It says I have 5 new voicemails but I cleared them out but will not clear in the notification panel.
simon says
You cannot clear it.
Voicemails are always saved in your carrier’s server, not on the phone. The notification is also set by your carrier. Some carrier may update the status periodically. It means you have to wait for a few hours after you listen to them or clear them.

Tina says
How do you turn off the video setting of how it starts to record automatically when u touch the vdo button? I don’t want it to record automatically when the video icon is touched.
simon says
The purpose of the video button is to start to record video. I don’t think you can disable it. Unlike some old devices, it’s not necessary to switch between video and photo mode on S6. You need just get used to it. It’s more efficient once you get used to it.

tom prestidge says
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
can you help me?
simon says
Some apps may use these buttons for special functions.
But you cannot change the “base” functions. For the power button, its base functions are to wake up S6 and call power options (reboot or power off). You cannot disable such functions, otherwise, the phone will not work properly.
If you disable power button and home button to wake up the screen, how can you wake up the screen?

My home button takes me to my last page rather than the home page. Just started doing this on its own. How do I make it go back to my home screen when I press the home button?

You can also try to reboot the phone to see whether it helps.

Lupita says
My husband and I both purchased the galaxy s6. My husband has the black and I the white. When I charge mine and it is fully charged, the screen light stays on. This is annoying especially at night when I turn around at 2 am or so and see a bright light so I am forced to disconnect the phone and by the morning it again is not 100% charged. My husbands phone does not do this. Is something wrong with my phone? How can I fix this?
simon says
The screen should be off based on timeout settings in Settings–display –screen timeout.
But if you turned on stay awake in developer options, the screen will be always on if Galaxy S6 is connected to the charger. You may check Settings–Developer options, turn off Stay awake. Please check this page for more details on Galaxy S6 developer options.

It’s a different tone, just a little pop when I press send. Mainly on WhatsApp but it’s just annoying I can’t turn it off like I can on my iPhone

That’s the problem of WhatsApp. In the notification settings, incoming and outgoing messages are grouped as conversation tone. This is same as that in iPhone. Your only option is to turn it on or if. The app doesn’t offer other options.

Hello, after a factory reset/switch all owners data I rebooted my S6Edge+. After setting the preferred language and wifi settings the phone is doing some checks and is asking the Google account used to set up originally this phone. Although I input the correct account and password (also verified at my google account that the specific device is registered under Android devices) the phone does not accept it and cannot reboot to a complete stage!!! I have tried to find an assistance from Samsung which reinstalled the drivers and did some other actions but still no progress! !!! I have found a similar case of another person sawing the same problem at youtube: https://youtu.be/iCq2hDkUQSg ……can you help?
simon says
In this case, I think it is the Lollipop 5.1 new feature: device protection. I remember only Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 have this feature. It seems It is implemented in Galaxy S6 through the Lollipop 5.1 update.
You need make sure: 1). the phone is connected to interent (it should ask you to connect when setting up)
and 2). you did not change password for your Google account in last 72 hours. If you change Google account password, you can only use the account to setup the phone after 72 hours.

Hello and thank you for your reply! Yes the device is asking me to select the preferred language then to set up the wifi connection and the is asking me my google account which fails to recognise!!!!
I have changed my google account on Saturday morning (EU time) so I will try again to login Wednesday same time….
Thanks again and I will see if this can solve my problem.
simon says
Please update us and let us know if it works for you or not then.
The 72 hour blocking period is part of the anti-theft scheme, as I know. The owner has 72 hours to act before the device can be activated if his Google account is compromised as well.

Some ideas anyone of how to add icons/colors to the events in the s planner on s6 edge? Or any reliable calender alternative?
Dawn says
I’m new to the Samsung 6S and by error, I made a spelling error on entering my email address on ‘S Health’. Now, it keeps asking me for verification to the misspelled email address. How can I correct this email address, please?
Thanks!
simon says
You can add a new Samsung account in Settings–Accounts–Samsung account.

Chadd says
Is there an option to recieve text and other notificaitons via PC on the S6 Edge Plus. Though I had read something about that. Also, is there a way to search apps, very cumbersome and inneficient to look through all the apps when trying to find one.
simon says
You can use the s6 and many other Samsung phones on the PC with sidesync.
For apps, the best way is to organize them through folders. S finder can search apps. If you are using Google Now launcher, you get the search bar in the app drawer for apps. But Google Now launcher doesn’t support folders in app drawer (apps screen).

There are some accessibility settings that reads out many things. If you really need it, you can check Settings–Accessibility.
Also, in driving mode (car mode), it will also read out notifications, incoming calls….

tisha says
I have the s6 edge and i opened my app drawer and half of my apps are gone. I opened play store and it shows that they are still installed But there’s no icon for any of the apps that are gone. I dont know how to get them back..
simon says
Did you root the phone, or install any task manager (storage cleaner) apps?
If not, you can try to switch to easy mode in Settings–Easy mode. Then switch back to normal mode to check whether all apps are there.
You can also install a third-part launchers (e.g., Google Now launcher), switch to it and very likely, you will see all apps. If not, reboot the phone. Then switch back to the default TouchWiz Home Launcher.

simon says
Rebooting the phone is just like rebooting your pc. As phone is usually designed as always-on, you seldom reboot it. But it’s safe to reboot the phone.
You can also clear cache partition took see whether it helps.

Chad says
I just purchased a Galaxy S6 yesterday. When I go into Google Chrome, I can access all my bookmarks. But when I try to add a bookmark widget to my home screen, none of my bookmarks populate into the screen where I am supposed to select which bookmark the widget opens. I have tried changing what folder the bookmark I want to use is stored in (Desktop Bookmarks, Samsung Account, etc.) but nothing seems to work. Is there some sort of sync setting I need to change or something?
simon says
You need use the bookmark widget under chrome, not Samsung’s S bookmark widget.
You can try the 1*1 one, which will ask you to choose which folder. You need internet connection for this operation.

Is there a way to set up the way you view your text messages? I just started using my S6 and I noticed that text message conversations do not show up in chronological order, showing the back and forth nature of the conversations. 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.
simon says
Are you using the stock Samsung messages app? In S6, actually, all messages are organized as threads. And threads are organized chronically based on last activity in that thread. I am not sure what exactly the problem you are facing.

Aaron flemon says
Does anyone know how to make s6 allow music to play in the background? I play videos on YouTube, but if I close the app down and try to use another one, the music stops???? Or if I lock the phone???? Please help
simon says
Galaxy S6 can play music in background. This can verified by using music app. Most music streaming app also can run safely in background.
The problem your encountered is that YouTube app does not support this. YouTube is mainly for you to watch, not to listen.
There are a few workarounds (with limitations) to run YouTube in background (or do something else when YouTube is running):
1. subscribe to YouTube Red (you can try it first). It will cost you money.
2. use multi-window feature in Galaxy S6. You can minimize YouTube window. So you get a floating YouTube icon on the screen. You can use other apps as normal.

How do I change the charge settings for text on the Samsung S6? I tried to text Subway, but I wasn’t able to because I did not allow the provider to charge me for sending the text? Is there a way I can disable that setting?

My husband d has a 6 edge+ and twice in one week the alarm has not been going off it always says its set for the next day even the i go over and make sure its all right what to do is it just glitches or is there a mess up in the phone BC sometimes u hear it and other times u don’t it stays right by my ear so I couldn’t miss it

Very likely, do not disturb was turned on and you did not set alarm as exception. Check Setting– sound & notification — do not disturb –allow exceptions. Make sure alarm is enabled.

Anita says
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?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

You can choose to forget the free WiFi in settings–Wi-Fi.

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.
Sharon says
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.
Helen says
Thanks Sharon! I’m not sure what I was looking at before as I did go into those settings. Another question…i have other email accounts but they are listed under applications. Is there a way to do individual sound notification for the various apps? The only thing I can find is Sounds and Notifications > App Notifications > but the when you are in the actual app, the only options are Block Notifications or set as priority…no option for sound?
simon says
In settings – applications – email, once notification is turned on, you can tap any email account, then set notification sound individually (after you turn on notification for each email accounts individually). Identical settings can be found inside email app.

Not sure what you are referring to. Can you send messages? if not, check with your phone company, and they will send you a message. You then apply the message to get correct messaging settings. Most carriers now have this settings in the SIM card.

Erin says
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?
simon says
You need swipe the button, not tap the button to dismiss or snooze the alarm.

Thomas Ballew says
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?
Thomas Ballew says
Android 6.0.1

In apps screen, you should be able to find the clock app. You can set timer, alarm or world clocks with this app.

can I use my Sansungs6edge phone as microphone and connect to an amplifier for a party
simon says
I guess you need an app. Audio from the phone can be output to the amplifier through 3.5mm cable. But the microphones in the phone can only output to the phone. So you need an app to process the microphones input, then output the audio.

Deb says
How can I remove a security pin. From s6? I go lock screen security, screen lock type confirm pin, next and the none is grayed out. Turned off by administrator. Please help where do I go from here? Deb
simon says
Who set up the phone for you?
If the phone is set up by your IT department, they usually install remote management or security tools and you cannot turn off lock screen security.
If you add any VPN accounts, or company email (Exchange account), the lock screen must also be on.

What’s shown in gallery app? Normally backup should not delete your files in the phone.

Is it safe to use my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge while it is plugged into a charger while it is at 100%?
simon says
I don’t think there are any security issues. But it’s probably not good for the phone. Why do you want to do this?

Eden says
My Galaxy S6 will not video call anyone at all and I was wondering what 0I have to turn on in my settings or if I’m just not doing something right because I can’t video call or accept a video calls from anyone
simon says
What did you get when you tried to accept a video call?
Video call is a mobile network feature. You need to check with your carrier whether your plan includes video call. If your mobile plan doesn’t support video call, the phone should not ask you to accept a video call.

Josey says
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
simon says
You can use Galaxy S6 themes to get different color schemes.
By default, the messages app only allows you to change background and font size.

SHHM says
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.
simon says
You can use Galaxy S6 themes to get desired color combination and styles. Samsung doesn’t offer customization directly. Please refer to this guide https://gadgetguideonline.com/galaxys6/samsung-galaxy-s6-guides/how-to-use-samsung-galaxy-s6-themes/

k.sansone says
how do I delete voice messages left on my Samsung s6??
simon says
Voicemails are saved in your carrier’s server, not the phone. You can access voicemail from any devices.
The way to delete them varies from carrier to carrier. When you access voicemail, it should have voice prompt for you to delete them.
If you are not sure, check with your carrier on how to delete them.

How does your car handle contacts? You can always export contacts to a file, then import.

Kimberly says
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.
simon says
You press the button too long. Google Assistant is activated when you long press the home button. If you just press it once, you should not get Google Assistant.

Sharon Noon says
How do you get the individual ringtones to play. Mine have stopped working.
simon says
When you pick the ringtone, doesn’t it play before you confirm? You may give details of the issue so that others can understand the context of the issue.

Teri says
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!
simon says
You need to get a AT&T sim card to use OTA update.
You can also update the phone by manually downloading the firmware and update on recovery mode.
