    Charging and battery problems

    I'm having the same problem. After a few months, my S6 has been taking hours to charge. I was told to try using another charger, which I will... I have a spare which I bought in case of damage or loss etc. The phone works fine otherwise. Aside from the charger, what else could be causing this...

    Email failure

    Where the SHARE icon is, I select Email. It opens the email program.

    Email failure

    I have had trouble sending emails on my S6. When I share a page with the email option, I keep getting "email failed". I tried sending it to Gmail and to my home email address, but it keeps failing. Normal emails back and forth, no problems, but sharing web pages etc, failed. I use the email app...

    Facebook app saying can't connect

    For a while the problem seemed to be solved, but then pops up again. Every once in a while, I just clear the cache and data.

    Gmail not syncing automatically.... anyone else?

    Yes, been noticing that for the last couple of weeks. I never had this problem until the the latest update. I found that other apps are slow to sync. I checked all the settings for the phone, apps and account and everything is kosher... I tried clearing the data and cache, that worked. I also...

    Facebook features not working properly since update

    yes, I have seen a number of complaints, the exact same issues. I cleared the cache and data, restarted and it worked, for a while. Then did a soft reset, which worked, for a while...the issue keeps recurring! Another fix, is to switch on flight mode, for a few moments, then turn it off...

    Facebook app saying can't connect

    The application began to act up again tonight, out of the blue...so I found a suggestion on Facebook forums. Try turning on Flight mode for a few moments, then turn it off. Then restart the device. I did that, and the next time FB started up, it was fine.

    Facebook app saying can't connect

    An update, I did the factory reset on my S6 and all was swell. Then I noticed the Facebook issue again: can't connect, not updating, and certain pages not connecting. So I cleared the data and restarted, problem solved. I don't know if the whole cycle will start again. I was in an area where...

    Facebook app saying can't connect

    yes I did those things! It didn't work, so I deleted the data for those apps. It would work, then stop working. Maybe the update caused bugs or corruption. It was just better to do a soft reset and then just reinstall everything.

    Facebook app saying can't connect

    That is exactly what I did. Backed up and did a factory reset. Sure enough: GMail now syncs. All facebook issues gone...for now at least. All my data was on a Samsung cloud and everything is right as rain. Try the soft reset and it should do the trick.

    Facebook app saying can't connect

    Yep, got the latest Android Update and it's affecting other apps. Gmail is taking FOREVER to sync my messages, for some weirdo reason. I had to delete the data and restart. Somehow, android's 6.0.1 has a lot of bugs affecting certain apps. I thought it was my phone, or corrupted files etc. But...

    Facebook app saying can't connect

    Same exact problem here! Plus it won't connect to certain pages. Personal pages, fine...if I try to connect to a page for a business or commercial etc...Can't connect and check your internet settings. Which are FINE! It won't edit my search or my activity log. I deleted the cache and data...

    Facebook features not working properly since update

    I've had weird issues with facebook recently. - news feed waaay behind the time, like 6 hours, then it updates. - When I get "search" I find that some of the links to pages don't respond. Instead I get Can't Connect now, check your internet settings, when I was clearly connected to Wifi. Or the...

    Why is a transparent picture stuck in the background of my Galaxy s5?

    was it a photo you tried to upload? I get that sometimes...it doesn't upload and remains like a ghost.
