@ibayley wrote: Cannot Hear Call and Messages Notification When Do Not Disturb is Enabled... I can see the Call/Message come through but No Ringtone No Alert... I have added to Favorite etc etc.. There are two ways of muting your phone.  And I've seen users confuse each one and refer to one when they mean the other.  There is the Mute button, accessable when you pull down the screen to the menu and click the button that looks like a speaker with sound waves coming out of it.  Click this once, and you get a speaker with a slash.  This is muted but with vibrate still on.  Click again and the icon changes color meaning that it is totally muted, no sounds, no audible notifications, no nothing regardless of any other settings.   The other is the DND feature.  (Do Not Disturb)  Again when you pull the screen down, you will see an icon looking like a circle with a dash.  This actives the Do not disturb feature which is DIFFERANT that the Mute button.   The DND will mute all calls with the exception of those that are configured at Settings > Notifications > Do not Disturb.  Here you set up times when you want DND to run, days of the week, Configure Exceptions to the DND rule such as family, contacts list...   Pardon me if you already know these features, but I've seen many people that confuse the two features.  I use the DND feature at night, so that my email doesn't go off,  and telemarketers don't wake me up.  But family calls come right through as with text messages from my contacts, alarm company... I use the Mute feature for when I am in a movie theater or someplace where I do not want to be disturbed.   ... View more

I put this in another forum and I'm too tired to retype everything, so it's cut and paste time for me.  I'm running One UI since about February and I love every minute of it.     It's been a while since someone was complaining about the update again.  So what is your main complaint and we'll see what can be fixed on it.  So lets hit the high points.   The biggest complaints have been about the visibility.  Can't see the contacts due to white/gray font on a white/gray background.  This is due to a theme that wasn't designed for One UI.  If  you have a theme that you were using prior to the update, it more than likely will not work on One UI.  Turn the theme off.  Contact the theme designer and see if they have one that is designed for this OS.   Pocket Dialing.  This is something that is easily fixed with Settings.  (Which will solve a lot of other problems.)  Pocket dialing is when you text someone, put the phone in your pocket and the phone dials them.  With the update, this feature gets turned back on.  Simply turn it off.  Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures > Direct Call.  Turn this off.   Phone keeps opening up apps in your pocket.  Go to Settings > Display > Accidental Touch protection.  Turn this on.  This will deactivate the screen when it's in your pocket to prevent accidental app activation while in  your pocket Camera Buzzing while zooming causing blurry images.  This doesn't appear to be connected to the OS, but more of a mechanical error.  It has been discussed in depth elsewhere on this forum.   Edge Lighting not working properly.  Settings > Display > Edge Screen > Edge lighting on > Set when to turn it on, color, width, style and then select which apps you want to activate your edge lighting. Icons.  Simple fix.  If you don't like the built in icons, get a icon package and select your own.   And the MAJOR Crime...  of moving the clock to the left side instead of the right.  1.1 inches over.  (Horrors)  Go to the Galaxy store and download Good Lock 2019 and move it where  you want.  Left, Right, middle or gone totally.   Don't like the navigation bar at the bottom?  Want it to go away unless you need it?  Turn it off and use Gestures.  Set it up on mine and I love it.  Never have that bar appear again.  Go to Settings > Display > Navigation bar > Select Gestures or use the buttons.  Want to rearrainge them?  Easy.  I use the gestures and then I scrolled down to turn on Gesture Hints. The inability to set a background in the Message app.  Agreed, this is a bug.  The best we can come up with for now it to use Night  Mode (Settings > Display > Night Mode) or find a theme that covers that.  Again, just make sure it is designed for One UI. These are some of the common complaints.  So expand a bit please.  Tell us what you hate and we'll see what can be done to fix your complaint.  There are a bunch of us here that would like to help, but we do need some specifics.  And no, it ain't perfect by any stretch of the imagination.  But a lot of it can be fixed/adjusted quite easily.   ...

Does your alarm app sound the alarm or does your monitoring company send you a text?  On mine, the monitoring company sends me a text.  I've saved it as a favorite contact which punches through the Do not Disturb setting.  Then assigned them a specific alarm sound.  (Once I got a message from them so that I can tag the conversation and NOT assigning the tone to the contact, but thats another gripe... ) As for the weather warnings.  I've had to settle for a trade off.  Yes, My weatherapp sends out weather warnings.  But they have a problem determining what is Important and what is an advisory.  For example, yes I want to be told of a tornado warning, or severe thunderstorm...  But, the weather service releases advisories for things like, high heat warnings, or Air quality warnings.  And they send them out at 4:00 in the morning.  So I have my weather app set to shut up from 11:00 to 7:00 in the morning.  Yes, I live in the US.  And in Texas, during the summer, EVERY day is a high heat day.     ...
