Thank you androidcentral for making it so easy to find this thread and B Diddy for the answer. I just had the same problem as this thread several months ago and I knew it was a repeat. This time I knew the black screen was not death because I was in my car when I discovered it and got a text...

You're so right. Good reminder. Lost a work laptop a week ago. (Fortunately, no data lived on it, just internet usage and important passwords/bookmarks). What's the third thing going to be? Ha ha!

It's booting!! OMG! happy dance. Lower Left key was on the side of hte phone underneath the volume buttons. Back in business. THANK YOU SO MUCH.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oops.... i can toggle thru the options, but I can't figure how to select it. It says "lower left key to select". No keys showing. ????

WOW Yes !!!!! YAY!!! something happened. Maintenance Boot Mode. 4 choices showed up: 1. normal boot (restart your phone normally) 2. Factory Reset (uh no thanks!) 3. Safe Mode (disable 3rd party apps) 4. Power down: turn off your phone I think I'll try #1

I am suspecting battery dead based on other posts and phone age, but I am really not sure. I have a battery health app and I checked it a couple of months ago and it was in the low 80%s. When I first got that app a couple of years ago, it was in the high 80's when the phone was 3-4 years...

I'm back!!! The problem re-surfaced and I "fixed it". The way I fixed it may explain how it was fixed last time too. And maybe that will provide a clue as to the real problem. When I couldn't make a call today, I now knew to turn on wifi-calling to make my call. Then after my call I...

I'm back in business with LTE but sadly I don't have a clearcut answer to report! The rep at the store listened to my tale and changed the SIM card. He then placed a call and claimed it was fixed. I said "but the icon still flipped to 1x when you made the call". He dismissed that and said...

I didn't realize the activiation fee was tied to a SIM card. I went looking back on my paperwork to try to figure out if I got a new SIM card with new (2018) phone. There was no activation fee and my previous phone has no SIM card in it. However, I found the paperwork for that older phone...

Sounding better and better all the time.... Thank you! I plan to go to Verizon tomorrow. I will report back! Happy to be going there well informed! ...in case I have to guide the 1st tier help to a solution :-)

Thanks for the explanation. Probably it was swapped from my former phone. (Also Verizon - LG) Isn't that what they do? I can't actually remember the details of the purchase other than I was in panic mode because my other phone died badly and it was 1 hour before closing on New Year's Eve...

I'm not sure what that means. give me a new one? factory reset? yes, at the store. Fwiw, I figured out why the 4g icon gets lit/unlit based on my wifi setting. There are actually two icons...one for data and one for voice. Never realized thats what was going on up in the right corner...

I am very bummed if its my phone. I love my phone and I hate change and I don't have extra money for a new phone!! Last week I couldn't make any outgoing/incoming calls at all. After much troubleshooting and using wi-fi-calling as a workaround and getting no answers at Verizon store or chat or...

I have the same exact laptop!! It seems nice so far but I haven't used it much yet. I got it to see if I would wean off my beloved W7 PC! So far I have not! It was a laptop upgrade from an high-end HP Pavilion with Vista sitting in a closet for 10 years!!! Never liked it. rarely used...

I have a microSD card I want to install too. Can exFat be used for documents (pdf xls doc) as well as media? I

re-read the notes carefully starting with Note 8. I thought Note 16 had a good summary,conclusion, but it may be out of context. I think the only potential solution is installing an older Samsung Contact App via apk. Not sure I want to or even can do that, but that appears to be the only...

Thanks Mustang but thats not the problem.

between a rock and a hard place. The Google Contacts app does do the customized filtered contacts just fine. (And surprisingly all my desired selections were pre-checked off. very odd) But the phone app and text app only use the Samsung Contacts app. There's no way to select which contacts...

Very promising! Thank you. I was just reading the reviews on Google Contacts and getting a bit discouraged about some of the complaints. But that's what I'm looking for. I am getting a little confused wondering about phone & contact interaction and whose responsible for what. For...

Ya know, I was just wondering about that. The app doesn't even say whose it is. I suspect its Samsung. I'll pursue that. but, again, its not about switching between groups on the fly. THis app can do that. Its about defining my entire contact list to statically just selected groups show up.
