Why are some of my words in an outline font? Mostly headers, but sometimes random words are outlined…..

Where did you find such words, in some apps or in the phone home screen?

Reminders of events from calendar? Can you choose snooze or dismiss?

You can just dismiss it as normal nitrification. If you don’t need such info, you can turn off the corresponding card.

When I am on call, my cell don’t show any notification of another person calling me. How do I know and answer a call waiting??

This depends on your carrier.
In phone app, tap the menu key (3 vertical dots), tap settings – call settings – additional settings, enable call waiting.

You need check APN settings for MMS. You can ask your carrier send the mms settings, and you then apply it.

Bill W says
My XT1060 is apparently stuck on mute mic, as people cannot hear me when I call. I have hit the mute/unmute button numerous times. Is this indicative that the phone is defective? I have only had it a couple of months.
simon says
does this happen to receiving calls?
William Wiseman says
It only happened on outgoing calls. I don’t get many incoming calls, so I don’t know. I solved the issue by shutting the phone off and rebooting it, but it shouldn’t have happened.
simon says
It could be caused by some third-party apps. Some buggy apps may mess up the mic after exiting.
