Just to help others that may run into the same issue: wiping the cache partition solved the problem I was having with the Android OS consuming most of the battery on my S6. I'm running Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) and recently it began losing over half the battery life in 2-3 hours. Usually...

I contacted my service provider and they told me to call Samsung. I did and Samsung support said to try resetting the APN (which I did--no change after re-entering all the APN details--hassle!) and then a hard reset if the APN reset didn't work. I'm hoping there's another option out there then...

Ever since I installed the Kit Kat 4.4.2 update on my Galaxy Mini S4 (LTE), I keep getting an alert that appears every few seconds and says "No Connection". One thing I noticed is that, when on the mobile network alone, the Navigation app just doesn't work (it opens, but I can't select my...

If your e-mail isn't updating, Play Store won't connect and other apps won't work/update, but you ARE connected to Wi-Fi and CAN access websites using the Internet (browser), check the Date on your device (on the Home Screen). If you find the date set to Jan 1, 2012, go into Settings and under...

Thanks for the tip about the Date and Time. Found the date set to Jan 1, 2012 and set it to the current date and, magic!, just as suddenly, the apps will now connect. Has anyone found out why, or how, the date suddenly gets set to 1/1/2012? (how can you prevent this from happening in the...
