PSS: my phone is a SAMSUNG SM-A536U follow-up question: is there any one at Samsung I can contact? can I take it to a T-Mobile store?

PS: I double checked, AIRPLANE mode is NOT on! Thanks again!

starting yesterday, I noticed a strange problem: * when my phone is connected to wi-fi, everything works as it should. * but when I am away from wi-fi, strange things start to happen: * somehow, I can NOT get any new eMail or text messages or WHATSAPP - none of that - no chrome or anything...

Samsung SM-A536U I think I figured it out: if you swipe down from the center of the screen, you get the notifications panel if you swipe down from the right of the screen, you get the quick settings panel yes! so thank you for feedback!

hey! when I swipe down from the top of the screen, I get the nofitications thing - which is NOT what I want! So tell me, how do I get the quick settings options? I tried swiping down from the top, down on the diagonal from the left and right - nothing seems to work! grateful for any...

I truly hate doing everything on my phone - there are certain apps I should be using, but I don't, because I get frustrated doing them on the phone, and there does NOT appear to be a Mac OS (or even windows) platform. So my question: is there any program that can take an android phone app and...

hey, thank you guys very much - I installed Gboard and it truly is a significant improvement. Very much appreciated!

thanks - so you recommend using gBoard? I'm not famiiar with this but I will give it a try, yes, thank you!

Recently there was an Android OS update - this actually was a major improvement. when I go to one of the messaging apps - google messages, FB messenger, WHATSAPP - all of a sudden I was given the opportunity to use "voice typing" rather than the keyboard, and it was working really well, with...

I tested the charger / cable, and it worked fine with my phone. then I charged the tablet all night - or rather, I had the charger plugged into it. And this morning - nothing. Nothing turns on, no matter what I try. (This is an "ex-parrot!") (am still curious if the old "sticking in a pin"...

yeah, it happened last summer, and I just had to hold the power button a super long time, but I finally turned on - and now I am getting nothing! okay: I just checked out a different power AC cord - I know this one works because it just worked with my Samsung phone - all right, I'll try leaving...

I believe the tablet is fully charged, but I can't get it to start, after pushing and pushing the power button for like forever! is there any way to force it to restart, with a pin or a paper clip or something like that? Help - grateful for any suggestions! w

thank you - yes, I am beginning to agree with you - the G96 may be a waste of time and money and I may try to return this - it's NOT a good omen if the manual provided does NOT even tell you how to correctly pair the bluetooth (?) remote with the device itself!

Hey, I know the ANDROID CENTRAL forums are primarily for phones, but is there a forum where I can ask about ANDROID TV devices? I bought the G96 TV STICK, I am hoping it wasn't a waste of money - so far I can't even get the included remote control to pair with the device. My first thought is...

thank you! this is the Samsung SM-A536U phone. I'm using the default keyboard - all phone keyboards are kind of a disaster for me, my hands are way too big to type comfortably, which is why I rely on the dictation feature. thanks for the feedback, w
