#short text #bank verification #samsung galaxy #android after what seemed like a race to the bottom to resolve a persistent issue I was having with a newly ported Samsung Galaxy A10e to T-Mobile, I found the mystery lied in hidden permission settings. I had T-mobile support working with me as well to resolve this and it was also escalated to a higher team. Onto the actual issue. Setting up this A10e with my apps went fine until my us bank app. I never received the verification codes when I first logged in to the app despite multiple resends. tried many, many things that it could be but never fixed. two days go by with no luck. finally late last night I found that an area in the android permissions called "Special access" contained the elusive fix: FromHome screen, navigate: Settings > Apps tap the options ellipsis in upper right corner Tap Special access Tap Use Premium text message services Tap the app icon of the messaging app your phone is using by default: Choose Ask or Always allow if not already selected. Restart the phone. Initiate a verification text from the problem app or website. From here my code arrived like nothing was ever wrong. Finally, get on with your life.
