Ok, I have an A20, but I'm posting here because there's no forum for it. I can't seem to download anything from the Play Store. All I get is "waiting for download..." I just bought this phone Tuesday and all was working well the last two days. Then today I had to factory reset it, and now this...

Actually, my teenage son was fooling around with my settings and discovered that if I go to my "recent" calls, then go back to my home screen, that got rid of that pestersome red badge notification. Go figure.

My Samsung S4 phone (Verizon) suddenly got stuck yesterday on the Verizon splash screen after rebooting, and I had to have a local shop where they had to completely reset the flash - so I lost most everything. Now I'm trying to get things back to the way they were on my phone. Now, when I get a...

Swipe down? Why would I want to turn up the notification volume? What does that have to do with anything? Sometimes I get ding-dong type notifications; other times I get vibration notifications. I want to disable them all (except the alarm I manually set). How is this done?

The watch display on my new watch, when I press the top-side button, displays the time. I do it during the night sometimes so I'll know how much time I have left to sleep. But in total darkness, the display is like a spotlight. Unfortunately, I don't know how to turn it off again. I have to wait...

Which forum? I thought that's the forum I posted this in?

I've had an issue with my S4 lately where it inexplicably shuts down as if the battery ran out. When it does this, it's low but not anywhere out of juice. I've seen it at 15%, 20% - even 28% battery left and it shut down. I don't think I was doing anything in particular when it happened all...

I have the same battery that was in my phone when I bought it - at the end of 2014. So I think that's the first thing I'll address. How much are new batteries, btw? I have an S4.

My S4 has suddenly started losing a charge at lightning speed. It's been doing good lately, but since this past weekend it's dropped like an anchor. I don't have any apps open, and I reduced the screen light - but no change. I wonder if an update changed something? Or if I have a lot of things...

I'm getting this sonar-like notification sound every day now - sometimes at 2:00 in the morning when the phone is by my bed (I have to keep it there; my parents are old). And because I'm a light sleeper, this notification always wakes me up. I can't turn the volume down because I need to hear...

It just seems like I'm being forced to do it in a way that will work - not the way it should be done. In any event, I just put a dash between each work to make it work. A half-a**ed solution, but I have no choice.

So I understand why Contacts arranges a person by last name first, since that's far easier to find in your Contacts list. But if I want to add a business contact, like Joe's Sporting Goods, it lists it under "Goods" - not "Joe's," where I would want to find it. Is there a way to have Contacts...

Sorry for the delay - I'm trying to sell my house. If I stay in safe mode and the notification goes away, all it'll tell me is that it's an app; not which one it is. This notification may only occur every other day. Will staying in safe mode keep me from doing things I could normally do on a...

Re: Connectivity problem while on WiFi and not in range I've tried it with and without smart switch on. Neither improves my ability to connect when out of range of WiFi but with it turned on in my phone.

I don't see an option there for "always on." I see "wifi notifications" that I can check, and I see an "always allow scanning" and "keep wifi on during sleep." Is it one of those? I also see a "smart network switch" that's supposed to switch between data and wifi to maintain a stable Internet...
