thank thank YOU! very helpful. This is all good to know, 'Bro! w

since my current Samsung seems to be on the way out (gradually...) I am thinking about a new unit - and the Google "Fold" phone is intriguing, like a tablet and a phone at the same time. Of course, $2K for the latest model is above my price range. 500$ for a refurb older unit also seems like a...

okay, I tried the rubbing alcohol ... so far no change. But now I will invest in a can of compressed air! I will let you know what happens. thanks! w

no! I will try that asap! thank you!

Samsung SM-A536U - about three years old whenever I start to charge, I get a warning message "slow charging" - and then phone takes forever to charge. I have tried swapping cables, charging bricks, everything, nothing seems to change - it invariably still takes forever. In the past, I would...

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?

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"...
