So this is driving me nuts. I just picked up an S7 Active, and restored my data from Samsung Cloud. Everything restored fine except for Settings. That part fails every time. No big deal, I thought. I just set it up again how I like it. As soon as I got everything how I wanted it, Do Not Disturb immediately started acting super-weird. It turns on by itself, and it takes 2-3 times of turning it off to get it to stay off. When I finally get it off, it resets the settings (stays custom, but turns off all alarms, calls, and messages). I want it to allow alarms and calls/messages from favorites, and as soon as I enable those, it automatically turns Do Not Disturb back on. Turning it off again starts the whole loop over. Clearly, my Do Not Disturb settings are corrupt. Is there a way to wipe those settings, without wiping the phone and starting fresh?
Not a super helpful response, sorry in advance, but i think you may have answered your own question. Sounds like something got corupt in the copy over.
With out manually looking at all of the settings and or alot of trial and error... you may just have to reset it and start fresh...
But when you say wiping the phone, i just want to confirm that your intentions arnt to go factory reset... just do a "reset settings" and "reset network settings" dont wipe your whole phone.

Yes, factory reset, or worst case, ODIN flash the firmware. I just wanted to see if it was something anyone else had run into. I'll tackle this over the weekend. Thanks for the response!
bug
I had turned facebook and gmail to silent notifications. DND has not turned on and media volume has not turned to zero since allowing these apps to show with sound again.
Think every time a notification comes in media volume is set to 0 and DND turned on.

Hey all,
Have my phone on Vibrate and when I receive a Google mail the phone isn't vibrating and the LED isn't flashing. As far as I can see all options in Google mail and the phone settings suggest I should be getting both.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Russ
Hmmmmm a reboot seems to have fixed this, lets hope it doesn't get into a habit of it
didn't work for me, rebooted, but still no vibrate on new SMS, light flashing, tho
Apologize for cross-posting, but I'm getting frustrated with this. A reboot didn't help me either.
Everything was working before, but just today I noticed it refused to vibrate on email notifications. WinMo used to have a similar annoying bug, but it was related to replies. This bug is affecting all messaging notifications, i.e. Exchange, pop3, Gmail and SMS.
I've gone in to general settings and put vibrate on. I've gone into each account and turned vibrate on. I've gone into Messaging (SMS) and turned vibrate on. Vibrate is basically turned on throughout the system, but it's still not vibrating except for phone calls.
I've uninstalled all of the last apps I had installed to no avail.
Anyone with any advice?
Last resort could be hard reset

Not really keen on hard reseting, but will try that as a last resort.
I ended up fixing it with a hard reset.
First time around, I chose to reinstall the settings from the auto backup that was on the SD card, but I experienced the same behaviour.
Redid the hard reset and opted for cancel when asked about reinstalling the backup settings and all seems well so far.
Suspect it was a dodgy app or could have been that running the battery down flips a software switch to turn off vibrations, but the switch has a hard time flipping back. Will wait and see how long I can keep the vibrating notifications, but now I know how to solve it.
On another note, talk about a waste with that auto backup function. I mean, to really be useful you should be able to choose when it backs up and which backup you want to reinstall. Having it constantly backup settings like it does is bound to backup whatever went wrong in the first place. Oh well.
Alright I have a problem with my N7.
Putting it here since more people see this thread
So I guess my N7 restarted sometime at night and when I turned it on, I noticed that first my password lock wasnt there, nor was there a lockscreen.
Then a notification came up saying:
"Unfortunately, Google partner setup has stopped.
My notification bar, wifi, and home buttons dont work. I can force stop apps in the settings, but anytime i click clear cache it reboots.
I tried to do a factory reset and when I enter my password lock and click ok, then settings force closes. I'm not sure what to do.
I forced stopped google partner setup and gallery, those two popups came when the N7 would turn on that it wouldnt work. Now they dont come up anymore but that didnt solve anything.
Any help??
I am stock and unrooted btw. The night before this happened all I did was watch netflix
some other things to add, if i uninstall an app, it reboots and the app wont uninstall.
The notification bar actually comes down, its the other one with the toggles that doesnt.
well I was able to get into recovery mode and do a factory reset that way. Didn't know that was possible without root haha. Everything seems to be ok for now...

When stuff like that happens I get paranoid my nand or ROM is bad and do all sorts of tests lol.
I'm glad to hear that all is well again. Now root that puppy put twrp on it, make a backup and flash a good ROM lol.
Hi,
When i get a call and i click on "decline" button, i should get a pop up allowing me to send a quick message or make a reminder about calling back.
I checked and the relevant options are ticked on in the phone settings section.
What happen though is that i decline the call and the pop up shows for a split second and disappear :\
I attached a picture of the evasive pop up.
I tried ticking the option on and off, rebooting, nothing helps.
The only thing that seemed like it changed was resetting the phone (on power menu, you can reboot and delete temp files or something like that). That made the feature work once, but on the seconds time i declined a call it dissapeared again.
I did make sure the "Don't show this again" option is UNCHECKED.
I searched XDA forums and google, and only found one relevant topic which did not solved my issue.
Help...?

You might just have to do a complete factory reset. Sometimes, system functions can get screwed up for no apparent reason (it is usually something else you installed). Are you stock or on a custom ROM?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I guess that deep inside me, i knew you would recommend that...
The device is new. Bought it last week. it's stock, unrooted, untouched.
I did a lot of rom changes before with my other device (GS3) so i'm no stranger to factory reset, but every time i used it was to completely change a rom. I have never done it on a brand new device in order to actually reset a glitch...
Can you tell me what exactly will factory reset delete? What will i loose? any personal data? apps? app setttings? what else?
Thanks :cyclops:
Hey so my speaker phone is always on whenever I make or receive a call. I've gone through every single setting, made sure no apps are installed making it default to be on (voice recorders, GPS apps, ect) yet it is always on?
Anyone know how to fix this? Is there some app that I can install that can force it stay off unless I turn it on?
Some people say its the phone thinking its in dock mode. Is there any way to disable that?
This is driving me nuts. I've tried pulling the battery, rebooting and nothing is working.
Thanks for the help!

You shouldn't need an app to do what the phone already natively "normally" does. More than likely, some app you installed is causing your problem. Even if you disable apps to not have speaker on by default, perhaps the app cache settings are still affecting your phone.
If you're still agonizing over this problem by the time you read this... I would clear all the app cache, clear data on each installed app, disable all installed apps (force stop), and if that doesn't work, back up your data and factory reset. More than likely a factory reset will get your phone working correctly again. A pain, I know, but... better than going nuts! Good luck!
Yeah I've gone through every conceivable app that would have anything to do with my speakerphone and it hasn't helped. I'm afraid to do a factory reset because I honestly don't think it is going to fix it. I'm starting to think more and more that it is a hardware issue with the USB port and not a software issue. I may have to go to a Verizon store and see what they say. I'm sure once the guy can't figure it out he will tell me that I have to factory reset it at which point I want to make say if it doesn't fix it, I'll need a new phone.
So annoyed it's not even funny.....
UPDATE:
Ok so I still can't figure out what it is, I've cleared all data and cache on all apps (including the phone app) but nothing seems to help.
For ****s and grins I wanted to see if I plugged in my headphones what it would do. When I plugged them in and tried to make a call, this time the speakerphone button is NOT illuminated BUT.........IT STILL PLAYS THROUGH THE SPEAKER PHONE AND NOT THE HEADPHONES????
I know, mind...blown.
Now if I push the speakerphone button, it turns green (on) and the sound still comes through the speaker phone but if I push it again, it turns off and now the sound plays through the headsets.
What on earth is possibly going on??? Can the phone dialer app be corrupted? What else can I try other than a hard reset? Is there a way I can reinstall the phone dialer app?
I know you stated you looked at all the apps you could, but did you look into the S Voice settings to see if Auto start Speakerphone is enabled? Supposedly it'll be used only when S Voice is used, but who knows when something might be corrupted.
Already tried that, didn't fix it. Even tried disabling Svoice.
I also booted up in safe mode and it still was doing it so I know it isn't any installed app that I have that is doing it.
At this point I think have no choice but to do a hard reset unfortunately. SO incredibly annoying.
Well, I hope you solve the problem. At least with the hard reset you'll get a clean start. Nah... nothing good about a hard reset! Damn annoying! Let us know how you solved it once you get it going.
After the Pie update, my phone was wonky. So I did the sane thing we all do, I did a factory reset.
I then restored all my data and settings in the usual ways. All is well so far. It even seemed to fix the battery drain issue.
BUT!!! I have this stupid thing that won't go away, and I have zero idea what to do or what it is!! It seems to think I want to copy my old data from my old phone, but of course, its the same exact phone. Not sure what to do? Cannot figure out which process it is to kill it. Rummaged around ADB and found nothing

Just click it and at the bottom it should say "don't copy" click it. It may ask you some other things but other things like changing wallpaper or don't size.
You can try going to your setting and dismissing the "recommended actions" at the top, then restart your phone, but idk if it will help.
