how do i change the settings to make my phone ring for longer than 2 rings before it goes to voicemail ?????? xo 🙁
I would like to know that too.
I changed my phone from an S2 to an S5 yesterday. Nice phone, but I am surprised there is no predictive text or word option presentation whilst texting or adding text to websites, as there is with the S2. Perhaps I am wrong, but I have tried searching the phone and Help menus, and also looked at Settings, but can’t find anything that suggests the facility is available. Any help much appreciated.
I selected a large number of emails And then chose to delete them. I’m caught in an endless loop of “Please wait.” What has gone wrong here?
how do I remove the small sim card from the phone?
How do I change or make my txt messages have their own sound?
I’d love the answer to that as well
how to disable increasing ring
How do I download my emails. I dont know how to get current emails…has not been updated since March 2016
By mistake I pressed the wrong box when shutting down my phone. I am locked in and I now have a blue light on the top left hand corner and at the bottom right a light on the ‘escape ‘ as well
as the bottom left’. How do I restore to normal function
SamsungS5NEO to change Sim Card, how do I open the cellular to do so?
please explain, thank you.Angie Flo Carriere Please reply……………
