just posting a link to the play store is not how you sell your app. i don't just click on things.

Auto wifi switching to stronger Wi-Fi network not happening

In my office I have 2 routers with different networks, Initially I will connect to Router A, and after some time I move toward router B area. Device doesn't connect to Router B even if I am closer to Router B. Its still showing Router A connection and signal strength with router A is not good. I have to connect it manually to router B.

Unfortunately WiFi was never designed to operate like that, i.e. where you can randomly roam around between various WiFi routers and be always connected.

Any solutions?

Yes there is, it's called mesh WiFi networks. To implement it, your office would need to upgrade their routers to devices that support mesh WiFi. We have mesh WiFi were I work and live, and I can walk anywhere on the campus and be always connected to the school network.

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.
