How do I determine source of notification?

.....
Even if this mystery/annoyance is now behind us, I still need to ask: if a phone is ringing/notifying unexpectedly, is there a reliable way to determine WHY it is ringing/notifying, i.e. what app or condition is causing it? The first many times I looked at the screen when it rang, there was NOTHING to indicate why. This was exasperating. I'd like to think Android gives you some reasonable way to determine why a given noise is being emitted by one of their phones.

Go back through that Settings >> Notifications menu and spend a lot of time just opening each menu option and any resulting sub-menu options to see what might be relevant. And that might not be necessary as there's a good chance it's just some app that he probably can just disable its Notifications.
The Settings >> Notifications menu should provide a listing of most or all installed apps, with the option to just leave as is or disable.

Help G930T to G930V

So you are trying to change a phone from a "T" to a "V", correct?

Firmware is very device specific. I would not recommend this. You could screw the phone up, by doing so.
Firmware is 100% cross-flashable among any of the USA models of the Galaxy S7. Nothing will be screwed up.

Is a Pit file needed for converting a G930T to a G930V?
The PIT is already included in the CSC file. So it's already flashed, as part of the process

Blank calendar

Friend, I understand very much. I am tired of problems with the calendar in the app. After some updates, the reminders get reset; sometimes, they shift by an hour or two, and sometimes they disappear altogether. Since I am an elderly person, I spend a lot of time setting up all the events. My daughter got tired of listening to me complain and printed out a calendar from https://www.123calendars.com/february-calendar.html, in which I write everything myself. Most importantly, my psychological health has improved. Maybe for you, it will be a good way out of the situation.

Problem with wifi and audio

A Factory Reset only wipes the user data partition clean and that's all it does. It does not do anything to the installed Android operating system. You can do a Factory Reset a dozen times or more, and that result will be the same.

Your internal storage media is divided into several partitions, most are dedicated to the operating system, and only one big one is set aside as the user data partition. So a Factory Reset is not 'resetting the software' if you're attempting to imply this does some magical fix to the Android OS running on your phone. Wiping the user data partition simply deletes that one partition, where you data was stored. All the other system partitions are left as is.
To actually replace/restore the firmware on your phone (the Android operating system itself), you need to go through the much more involved process of flashing the appropriate stock ROM. Flashing a ROM will install a clean version of the OS into those system partitions.
But that's all just software. When it involves hardware diagnostics, you're going to need some sophisticated equipment that can actually test the various components. And odds are it will involve replacing the logic board anyway.

Help Wierd Mobile Data Bug - Please Help

As far as I can tell, T-Mobile is simply the worst carrier that exists.

I have hardly ever been able to use any data, and it is almost as difficult to make a phone call.
Sometimes texting will work if I am close enough to a tower to touch it.

I have to use wi-fi everywhere I can, because the cellular 'service' is laughable.

Maybe your parents live underneath a tower, so it works for them.

question about having no internet in apps after disable automatic updates in play store.

It sounds like you may need to update Android System Webview.

It is the app that allows other apps to show web content.
Some apps have their own webview, so they will not be affected, but most rely on this Android System Webview.

On the other hand, Google will update this sp quite often, and there is just as much of a chance that you got a bunk update that wont function right.

If updating this one app does not work, then try uninstalling all updates for the app.

This brings it back to its original state as when the device was new, and you will not lose any info or data.

Another issue could be (but try the above first) that some devices use Chrome as a webview instead.
So if this is the case, then try the above remedies for Chrome.

Feel free to ask if you need instructions on how to do (or find) any of this.

[APP] GET Cloud Download Mp3 SoundCloud

Good luck getting the op who is probably the dev to answer to this. He only posted this one thread and never came back. Looks like it's no longer in the play store. Even if you could find the apk, the app came out in 2016. A 2016 app that had not been updated to the latest Android os, probably would not work, or you could get lots of crashes and glitches.

If the op dies not respond, I would look else where for a music app.
So no reason to leave this open. :)
