Hi there Happylife1, We appreciate you sharing your experience with your Galaxy A36 5G. It sounds frustrating to deal with your phone getting hot when you are out doing DoorDash deliveries and running navigation, music, and voice commands all at the same time. Multitasking with GPS, mobile data, and audio streaming simultaneously places a heavy load on a device, especially if the screen brightness is high or the phone is mounted near direct sunlight in a car. To help manage the temperature while you work, try keeping the phone out of direct sunlight, lowering your screen brightness slightly, and closing any unused apps running in the background. You can also check the Battery and Device Care menu in your Settings to optimize your phone's performance and review which apps are using the most power. If the device continues to get unusually warm during your shifts, please reach out to our Support Team after reviewing the resources linked below.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When phone shopping I always lean toward Samsung devices. This time I chose the A36, as the S series I wanted was not in stock at the time and unfortunately I couldn't wait and needed the phone asap! That is okay though, as I was still very satisfied, as I always am. The only devices I have ever had issues with were the lower-cost base models, even then they still performed rather well.

R&R Team - 6 days ago
Hello there Jhole69, Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with the Galaxy A36 5G. Working through a pre-release environment takes patience, and feedback like yours plays a vital role in helping our development community refine how the device performs across different conditions. Regarding the software rollout, beta updates follow a sequential release structure to maintain overall system stability. Your device will transition to the next major version automatically through the official release schedule once all development criteria are met. For the specific items you highlighted, here are the standard steps and resources available: • App Crashing on Beta Software: Because pre-release software is built for testing, temporary performance disruptions can happen. Submitting error reports directly through the Samsung Members app gives our engineering team the data needed to target and resolve these behaviors. • Samsung Wallet Functionality: Wallet services rely on strict security protocols. Running the latest app updates and clearing the app cache can help clear up loading or connectivity snags on beta builds. • Camera Hardware: Physical damage or a broken camera lens requires a direct, hands-on evaluation. You can review standard service options or locate a nearby repair center through the Samsung Support Page. Navigating new steps can be a lot, so feel free to explore the resources shared below to help move things forward. If you'd like us to take a closer look with you afterward, our Support Team is always happy to help. We're grateful to have you as a valued Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Warranty Information smsng.us/Warranty-Info Facebook Messenger smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X Messages https://smsng.us/X-Messages Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Galaxy A36 5G https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-a36-5g/ Product Manuals https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Software Update https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00077582/ Keep your Galaxy phone or tablet from slowing down with Device Care https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10001953/ Galaxy phone or tablet's screen is frozen or responds too slowlySamsung US Originally posted on Samsung US

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the galaxy A36 5G mainly because I was tired of phones from unreliable brands, I genuinely wanted a phone where first and foremost I could be proud of it, but also one where I knew that I wouldn't be left without a paddle should something happen, thats why I chose Samsung, because it is trustworthy, and reliable, and basically everyone i know uses it, it's great for everyday use, gaming, watching videos, and taking photos, and honestly what more could you need from a phone? It's affordable, reliable, sleek and modern, and it has a great battery life, overall I know I already put the 5 stars but still, it's a 10/10

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Galaxy A36 after having a ZFlip4 break that was outside of warranty. I say this because I was used to the ZFlip4 and this phone I a bit slower. The phone is not bad for the price, but if you can save up and get a better one I would reccomend that. I've had frequent issues with apps crashing as well as delayed audio while recording something. When I scroll on TikTok, there is sometimes a slowing and speeding up of the video I watch, especially when I'm uploading. Messages work amazingly, as I've had no issues.
