    Nokia 6.1 plus loose charging port problem

    Considering getting a Nokia 6.1. Are there good user guides for this to optimize the phone, remove unwanted apps, solve problems? How is the user interface as far as normal use of Google Maps, Google Translate, WhatsApp, Google Lens, a fitness app, etc? I just need a phone that turns on and...

    Samsung 3--How do I connect to network; only wi-fi works

    You may be right. It works sometimes but not well. Yesterday I was able to stream Spotify, wi-fi off, Enable Mobile Data on. However, I think the phone is [language redacted by Mod]. Yesterday the screen was discolored. Ghost screens could be seen behind. As in the display is going bust...

    Samsung 3--How do I connect to network; only wi-fi works

    I cannot find this setting. One fault with this phone is "search settings." If I look for APN, it shows nothing. You have to poke around until you find it. I've about given up on this. When I get a chance I'll go into Vodafone and see if somebody there has a clue. Next November I will research...

    Samsung 3--How do I connect to network; only wi-fi works

    Found setting called "Edit access point." Some settings are not set, such as Proxy, Port, Server. Perhaps this is a key.

    Does anybody understand Network Mode settings: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/vodafone-italy LTE/WCDMA/GSM; WCDMA/GSM; WCDMA only; GSM only; these are settings on my phone, but listed under Data roaming. Might not be relevant.

    Samsung 3--How do I connect to network; only wi-fi works

    Another Samsung phone in the house, newer, is able to get on the internet with the same provider. The thing is, I've had maybe 4 or 5 cell phone providers, and many sim cards, and now and then it actually works. Then it doesn't. The only solution is, apparently, to ditch the phone and buy a new...

    Samsung 3--How do I connect to network; only wi-fi works

    Going to "My Vodafone" app, my provider, it says to use "the application [requires] an internet connection. Check your device settings, or check back later." So there's a setting somewhere on the phone that switches it to using Vodafone to access the internet. Connecting to the wi-fi signal in...

    Samsung 3--How do I connect to network; only wi-fi works

    The phone is a Note 3-Neo SM-N7505. It was purchased in September 2014 completely unlocked. It receives messages from Vodafone. I can send messages. It will auto recharge. The Vodafone store checked it, and for a while I could use the broadband from my SIM for things like Google Maps. I have had...

    Samsung 3--How do I connect to network; only wi-fi works

    Phone: Samsung Note 3. Provider: Vodafone, Europe I am *not* a tech-savy user. This might be a stupid question. My Samsung Note 3 will only connect to the internet via wi-fi. As soon as I am out of range of my wi-fi signal at the house, the phone cannot "find a network connection." I cannot...
