I unmounted my SD card, but didn't physically remove it. That did seem to help somewhat, although I'm not sure why it should. I looked into the storage on my tablet and found that I hadn't actually been using the SD for storage at all. There was nothing on it! I moved some apps to the SD card to...

Thanks. I tried both of those but it's still the same. Anyone got anything else? If all else fails and I get a new Galaxy tablet, will Smart Switch transfer all my apps to the new device? Media?

This formerly terrific tablet has become unbelievably slow. Apps open slowly, webpages open slowly or don't even open, etc. All other devices on my home network, including a Samsung A52, work fine. I've run all the diagnostics that SETTINGS provide in Android version 9. Done all the recommended...

Until the last couple of days, if I hooked my A52 to my Win10 PC I could use file explorer on the PC to navigate A52>CARD>DCIM>Camera and I'd see all my photos in the order they were taken, with visible thumbnails. My Win10 laptop worked the same. Now, the laptop does the same thing still, but...

Just got a new 2021 Mazda 3 hatch (love it!) with Android Auto, cable connected. I have my phone (Samsung A52) connected by Bluetooth for phone calls and audio from my phone. 95% of the time, that's what I use but sometimes I connect by cable to Android Auto so I can use Google Maps. Whenever...

I keep getting SPAM phone calls from the same area code as my phone. How can I block those and still get calls from actual contacts in that area code? Oh, the phone is a Samsung A52

If I do go to the developers' settings, are there things there that I definitely should NOT monkey with?

Is that in the settings menu? I'll take a look. Thanks.

Thanks, but they are the same hearing aids as I had before I got the new phone. I recently got an Android update and I'd hoped that it would fix the problem,but no change. Costco is really good at support and does update firmware. Highly recommended if you know anyone in the market for hearing aids.

Thanks but no luck. I do have the other call options screen, but the hearing aid compatibility is already turned on. Nothing helpful in the accessibility options. I don't know if it helps narrow it down, but I just had my wife call my phone. In my hearing aid, I heard the hearing aid's own...

I wear Bluetooth enabled hearing aids (Costco house brand). I can use them to stream music,audio books and podcasts, no extra earbuds needed. When I do that, the sound comes only through my hearing aids which is what I want. Same for when I'm paired to my car audio. On my previous phone (Samsung...

My question probably applies to many phones, Samsung or not. I recently got an a52 which I love. I immediately ordered a tempered glass screen protector for it. Followed the instructions religiously, still ended up with dust under it. I tried 2 others from the same set, same result. I ordered a...

I have the Samsung and Google messaging apps on my new Galaxy a52 but neither will let me do what I want. I have a TON of old chats/messages/threads that I don't want. Verification codes texted to me, texts from websites, etc. What I want to do is perform a bulk deletion of them then re-start...

Testing...yes, I can reply. I do have an account. I have looked at so many forums that I can't remember which ones I've actually joined. Perils of getting old... I had looked for that sensitivity toggle under security,fingerprints. Thanks to you, I found it and now the problem seems better. Thanks.

You da man! That did the trick. Question is, how did that get changed? I never, at least knowingly, changed that setting. BTW-- I find it hilariously apt that someone named Hallux answered my question, since I'm a retired podiatrist! :D
