It's an odd question, I know. I have a Galaxy S8. The other day there was a huge glitch on Samsung Pay, and I had to spend an hour & a half on the phone with Samsung to fix it. The procedure may have affected something else, since the next day I was denied the internet on my phone. What worked was powering it down, then back on, and the internet returned. But wait! There's more.
Within a day the phone was again refusing to let me access the internet. At some point it said I had an authentication error. I had tried the usual solutions, but did not want to keep powering the phone off just to have the internet for two hours.
To make a long story longer, I simply decided to take the phone into a reliable phone repair shop nearby the following day. I did not power it down, I just left it alone. Lo and behold, the following day everything was working fine and still is (but for how long?)....How did this happen - does the Android possess miraculous powers of self-healing? I truly want to know if it is able to correct its own problems without my help.
The good news is I had no repair bill to pay.
Thanks for reading this far - any thoughts on this?
