[Q] Text Messages shows on calls - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

I just got the Galaxy Note 4, and I notice when I view my recent calls and click on any name, the most recent text messages show up at the bottom. Is there a way that can be disabled?

It's been like that for recent Galaxy phones. With root it can be changed I believe.

On your logs screen you should have a drop down that says "All Logs", simply change it to "All Calls" and you should be fine.

ignore call with text?

In settings-->call-->phone settings, there is an edit default message setting and a choice to edit text message before sending. This seems to imply the phone has an "ignore call with text" feature. I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy S phone that would give me 5 text options when I chose to ignore a call. Is this feature built into the Incredible 2, or do I need to download an app?
I am also looking for this feature. The only phones I've seen that have it are the Samsung Galaxy line and the LG Vortex.
When you are receiving a call hit the menu button there is an option to send a text. Not sure if that is what you are looking for?

Incoming Call Character Issue

Hello all, this is my first post.
I'm having an issue when an unknown caller calls my cell phone. When they call, for example, it will say Incoming Call &êï¥à. Respectedly, once I miss the call, it will say (In the top bar notification area) Missed Call from &êï¥à. I can open up missed call logs and the number shows up there, but what's with these characters? It's really annoying as I would like to just look at the phone as they're calling to see who it is. If I save the number in my contact list, it will show up correct with the name I assign. I have caller ID with my Rogers plan so that can't be it. I am using the Samsung Galaxy S III (Rogers) with CM 10.1 nightly, before I was on the 10.0 stable.
How can I fix this issue?
tl;dr: when someone calls it says Incoming Call &êï¥à (or some other symbols) and also say missed call from &êï¥à in the notifcation window yet shows the number when i open call logs, which is annoying.

How can i change my notification tones for specific contacts ?

On my Galaxy S4 it was easy as pie just going into my contacts and i can select a different tone for each person, each call or text etc. But all i see is one tone for all texts and that also includes app updates and stuff
This is really easy to do. Open an individual contact, click on the edit button up the top (looks like a pencil). Scroll about halfway down, and there's a Ringtone option. you can choose a ringtone from the list here.
That is not changing their specific TEXT tone
I don't see it under stock messaging (maybe because I'm not using it as default) but in Google Hangouts you can open a contact, open the ... menu (upper right) select People & options, and change the "Chat message sound"
If using Hangouts as messaging, I'd turn off auto retrieve MMS until the MMS Trojan horse exploit is patched.
Kinda a hassle for something that has been standard/basic for a while.
Its this just a LG issue?
Sorry, didn't notice you'd meant text notification. Don't think it's possible.

"Answered by Galaxy S8 Plus"

Recently after factory resent my Recent Logs start to show when somebody calls me and I talk to the person Contact name and underneath "Answered by Galaxy S8 Plus" instead of phone number. My wife's phone works fine and it shows Contact name and person's number. I searched the internet and can't find anything related how to turn it off. Anybody has any idea how to turn it off?
If you have Tmo digits, that may be the reason.
I do but it wasn't the issue before.

S9 Text Messages - How to tell which number for a contact I am texting with

Since replacing my S7 with an S9, I can no longer tell what number of a contact I am text messaging with. I have several family members and friends/coworkers where I have them as a contact but with both work and home cell phone numbers. There are times when I need to text them on their work phone and times when I need to only text them on their personal cell number. On my S7 I used to be able to see the phone number (or even email address if I was texting an email address for a reminder or something) underneath the contact's name at the top while in that text messaging exchange, but when moving to the S9, it only displays their name at the top. Tapping on the contact name does no good as it just takes me to the contact card for that person and shows me all of their available contact numbers/addresses. Any idea how to clearly/quickly tell which number that text exchange is with (other than by guessing based on the context of the past messages in that exchange?)
This comes in handy for reminders for myself as well. I have several different text strings going with myself to send reminders to my work email, home email, etc. There is no way to easily tell which number or email I am sending a text to unless I'm missing something.
Thanks for any help!
I had to load up Samsung messages to look at that since i used it 2 minutes before i decided i didn't like it. The only way i can see is when you click on the contact's name their number shows with a > besides it. Click on their number and select the number to text. Inside a text i see no way of identifying the number. I see your problem though. My son works in a high security area where he might text me from his business phone but never from his personal phone while there. If he texts me I alway just reply to wherever the txt comes from. So far it's worked but I can see where it may not if he moves from one area to another.
You can tap the phone icon in a text message and it will pull up the dialer and show you which number it is. Like I have my wife's work cell and her personal numbers and I have them designated as mobile and work. Hope that helps.
Probably easier to create a new contact for each number tbh

If I have contacts with multiple numbers, I just designate what each number is like I did with my wife. On the S9, if she texts me from her work phone, it doesn't add to the currently ongoing text conversation I have, it is a new text thread.
