    Samsung Email App Issues on A5 (2017)

    OK, here's a screenshot of an incident from earlier that claimed I had 5 emails waiting for me. A big fat nope!: Excuse the GMail and Hub icon, they're essentially dead

    Samsung Email App Issues on A5 (2017)

    I get the email audible tone, and both visual alerts (one at the top left of the screen and the other on the app icon indicating how many emails I've supposedly received). I'll try and take a screen shot next time it happens.

    Samsung Email App Issues on A5 (2017)

    Running Android 8.0, SE Version 9.0 One of the things I really don't like about Samsung devices is their bloat, I'm sure I'm not alone in that. As I didn't want to have 2 or three email apps running on this device, I decided to use the Samsung email app exclusively this time around. This...

    Why Samsung ? Not an Iphone

    Re: Why samsung and not an Iphone??? Never had any issues with any Samsung products/devices before, one of the more reliable name plates out there as far as I'm concerned. Even if I wasn't so keen on Samsung I wouldn't even include Apple in my list of devices to consider, not for any...

    Samsung A5 Oreo?

    Is this battery drain normal?? Samsung a8 2018

    I found the drain on my A8 to be awful during set up over the first two days; it also used 4GB of data during that time too until I sorted the settings out. After that it seems to have settled down considerably and I'm easily getting at least a day and a half of use out of it, sometimes two...

    Samsung Messages App - Alternatives?

    Mods: I scrolled through the topics and forums but couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this question, if there is a better place to post this, please feel free to move it. I'm a recent convert to Android after being one of the few desperately fighting to keep BB10 alive and working...
