Samsung Galaxy S8+
First...yes, I've seen other threads on this and (1) most of them have no solutions. (2) the ones that do have solutions do not apply to me or did not work. With a problem apparently this widespread, you would think it would be a priority to get it fixed. I've seen none so far.
The problem is, I'm seeing no notifications or indications at all that a call was received or missed UNLESS there's a voicemail left. This is happening for all calls, regardless of time of day or source of the call or the person that is calling (a known contact or an unknown number).
Here's what I've tried:
1. The phone is not in DND (Do Not Disturb) mode.
2. There are no attached devices (watch, Bluetooth headset, etc.) that would interfere with the status of an incoming call.
3. This happens if I'm at home on my wi-fi, or out in the world.
4. I've called myself from other phones (cell and land line) to confirm.
Here's what I refuse to try:
1. I will not switch SIM cards.
2. I will not factory re-set the phone.
At this point I'm considering other carrier options, so any real help would be greatly appreciated.
