    Just updated my A36 to 16 and it was quick and everything seems to be fine. Time will tell. I'm suppose to get four more software updates . I'm 85 so I should be okay. My last phone, an S5 Galaxy lasted 10 years but was only 16GBs and was real slow by that time.

    Galaxy S5-Happy 10th Birthday

    I tried that awhile back when I stupidly deleted the cache and data on the TouchWiz to try and improve the reaction time. I have been having problem with Smart Switch on our S5s. It worked perfect when I used it on our Tablets. We now have a 5g tower not far from our house and my son's newer...

    Galaxy S5-Happy 10th Birthday

    My wife and I have had the S-5s since 08/19/14. Her screen messed up right after we purchased them and was repaired under warranty. I had to replace my power button last year. Outside of that they have been very dependable. Have been thinking about some new ones but being 83years old I don't...

    Can't Access More Settings On S5

    Bit the bullet and went by the AT&T store. A nice young lady guided me to Backup & Reset-Reset Network Settings and walla my problem was solved. I had actually looked for a setting like that but not there.

    Page Not Responding

    If I switch to Chrome do I need to make it my default browser so all my homescreen shortcuts will open in Chrome?

    Page Not Responding

    I had found that on another forum and it was late so didn't post it. "After Nougat the Android System Webview is included in the Chrome app so the old app stays disabled until you disable Chrome." I disabled Chrome and then it let me download the new ASW but as soon as I enabled Chrome it...

    Page Not Responding

    Page Not Responding

    Yes to all of those. Chrome is working pretty good but the font is way to small and I haven't figured out how to enlarge it.

    Page Not Responding

    deke40Newbie I have been getting the 'Page Not responding' On my Tab E. Not on all pages just mostly ones that have a lot of content. I tried Chrome on 3 or 4 of them and it doesn't seem to be as prevalent. This is happening on my S5 also. Wonder if there a bug in the Samsung browser

    Add To Home screen Default

    I did a test an hid the "Apps" button on the bottom right corner of the HS and just to be sure moved the one right above it. Then I did an "Add to Home Screen" action and the shortcut went to a newly created HS. Will keep looking. Might be one of those things That can't be changed.
