Help New user with questions...Syncing, Groups, Calendar options, update

[Badabing618]

Hi all, just moved over from Windows Phone. Got the Samsung Galaxy S7 and love it so far. Couple of questions though...

1. I've synced my Exchange Outlook contacts successfully but when I create Groups in the device's Contacts, all the members disappear from the group after a sync. How can I make group membership permanent? I tried setting the Group to Device (instead of Device and All Accounts), no difference. I just want persistent Groups for messaging.

2. I use OneDrive (have for years, love it). How can I get the Samsung camera to save pics to my OneDrive folder by default? I accidentally took a screenshot and it saved to OneDrive\Camera Roll but other pictures I take with the phone camera do not save there. They appear to be saved in Gallery in an album called Camera. This album doesn't appear in OneDrive.

3. How do I sync my Exchange Outlook calendar? I decided against using the default Samsung Calendar and installed Google Calendar instead. However, I can't figure out how to get it to sync my daily schedule from Exchange Outlook account.

4. When is the next update coming out? I read that it will allow customized notifications on the Always On Display. Is that true?

Thank you!

1. You should create the groups under Outlook contacts, for it to sync.

2. There is no OneDrive folder in the phone. The OneDrive camera roll is the online backup place. Just turn on photo backup in the OneDrive app and every photo you take will be backed up to the Pictures folder in OneDrive.

3. Download the Outlook app. It may help. You could add your Outlook email to the default email app and it will give you options for syncing calendar.

4. No one knows. We just know Samsung is working on it. Plus schedules would differ per carrier.
