Voicemail Issues On Sprint...

svim
Odd that a security update apparently messed up something like voicemail. (A version upgrade maybe, but even that is more of an isolated issue) This probably won't solve your problem either but when a version upgrade that results in some kind of quirky behavior it's often recommended to wipe the system cache partition so you might want to try that. The system cache partition is separate from your data partition so this won't affect your data at all, even if it doesn't help it doesn't hurt to at least try. You need to restart your phone into its Recovery mode to wipe the system cache. This guide walks you through the process:

LGMS323 won't stay connected to internet

J
I replaced the battery, and now the phone is working fine. I replaced the battery with a spare I had because the battery in the phone was draining very quickly, so I knew it was worn out. I want to keep the phone for now because my uses are so basic.

Google search, Google maps, Gmail, etc. are all working fine now, but I am still getting the "Item not found" message when I try to install the new version of Youtube. When I tap the Youtube icon I get the message "A new version of Youtube is available. Install it now from Google Play". Then when I tap on "Install Now" I get the message "Item not found". I cleared the cache and data for the Google Play app, but I still get the message "Item not found" when I try to install Youtube.

Request Password Authentication

J
I am trying to understand how the authenticator.requestpasswordauthenticaion() method works. This method is part of the class Authenticator. It says in the official documentation that "it asks the authenticator that has been registered with the system for a password".
What is this authenticator that has been registered with the system? and where is the password actually stored? Where does the method get the password from?

Samsung galaxy s5 not updating to Marshmallow 6.0

The U.S. carrier minority variants tend not to fair very well in other countries. For instance, the G900A would not be compatible with most, if not all, of the African 4G/LTE networks.

I would recommend skipping the Galaxy S5 phones in this day and age as they only sport 2GB of RAM and struggle with a lot of heavy usage. You might do better at looking at Huawei, Honor, OnePlus global models of phones with 4 or 6GB of RAM and say, dual, cameras. Since I am based in the U.K. I cannot say what the used phone market is like in the U.S.A. Here are some suggestions... https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8514&idPhone2=8416&idPhone3=8938#vtr-l29,usa,usa

OPPO FIND X PROBLEM

mikedt
Oppo phones and Oppo chargers use a proprietary fast charging method they call "VOOC", and any other chargers will only charge Oppo phones at normal or slower rates.

No worries thanks for your replies!
I've only been using it for a year though which is so weird that the battery may be the problem. I was thinking about this possibility too.

But I dont think Oppo find x's battery can be replaced though?? SO SAD!! I really hope its not the battery problem.
Maybe I'll bring it to the shop but I'm not sure if they can check??
Google suggested factory reset (to see if its really the problem with the update) but I'm reluctant

I think it's worth trying a reset, in-case it is the Color OS update just made something go funky in the software.

Can't Change Notification Sound...

M
the phone is not defective. i would not use any other 3rd party apps that take control of your notifications until you sort out the issue.

i will admit I dont use alexa's sound notifications but i do many other apps and they all have their own sound profile separate from the main "system sound". maybe what you are asking fro the alexa app is not possible in the latest build? you may want to reach out to amazon (there is a good subreddit r/amazondev but dont quote me on the exact spelling) and see if they have changed the app. you seem to know how to change the sound settings and I was able to change the sound settings for one particular routine , but i did not try other settings on that app. it may be just an issue with that app...
