Battery not as advertised

Marcia . 5 days ago

I have the screen dimmed way down and I am keeping most of my apps in deep sleep. The battery history indicates my apps are using very little power. I've done everything I can to degrade the experience and use less power and this battery is not acceptable. My 2+ year old A23 5G works better. The battery is everything regardless of any other good features. I am very disappointed in my purchase of this A36 5G phone. I expected more from Samsung.

Tragar63 . 27 days ago

keyboard response time sucks. I am a slow texter and I can easily get many letters ahead. Also the swipe to type is awful. It gets about 90% of the words wrong and spell check never even gets close. Finger print reader is kind of sketchy as well. I have re loaded my prints several times and still does the same thing.

R&R - 25 days ago

Hello Tragar63, We appreciate your insights on the A36 5G. While your experience is unique, many users continue to enjoy features such as a bright, vibrant screen and long-lasting battery life. The on-screen keyboard is essential for using your Galaxy phone or tablet, allowing you to reply to messages, search the web, and complete other important tasks. We recommend using the Samsung Keyboard, which is preinstalled on your device. If you encounter challenges with a third-party keyboard app, we encourage you to contact its developer for assistance. Optimizing your device using Device Care in your phone’s Settings may be beneficial. To do this, close all running apps on your phone or tablet. Then, navigate to Settings, tap Device care, and select Optimize now. This action will close any background apps and enhance various settings. You can also refer to the article “Keyboard is not working on Galaxy phone or tablet” for further troubleshooting steps. Your phone’s fingerprint sensor offers a convenient and secure way to unlock your device and protect your personal information. If you’re using a phone case, ensure it is properly positioned on your phone and allows for sufficient exposure to the fingerprint sensor. If any part of the case obstructs the sensor or your finger’s contact with it, this can affect its functionality. Additionally, it’s best to keep your hands lightly moisturized, as the sensor may not respond effectively to dry or chapped fingers. A bit of hand lotion can help with this, but avoid overly wet fingers, as the sensor may not recognize them. For more assistance, check out the article “Samsung phone is not recognizing fingerprints.” If you would like further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Samsung Support Team. We’re here to ensure your phone performs at its very best. Thank you for choosing Samsung!
