R&R - 8 hours ago

Ahoy Splishsplash, Thank you for sharing your experience with your Galaxy A36 5G. While it comes equipped with many advanced features, the Galaxy AI may not be fully integrated with your model. However, any glitches or freezing can be improved. It can be frustrating when your Galaxy phone or tablet becomes unresponsive, but there’s good news—you can likely resolve this without needing to send it in for service. The Quick Optimization feature can enhance your device's performance by pinpointing apps that consume excessive battery power. It also cleans up unnecessary items from memory, removes unwanted files, scans for malware, and terminates apps running in the background. Optimizing your phone is both quick and straightforward. Simply go to Settings, swipe to and tap Device care, then tap Optimize now, followed by Done. For additional helpful tips, you can refer to the resource titled "Samsung phone or tablet freezes and crashes," which will be linked below. Thank you for reaching out. Please don't hesitate to contact a member of our Samsung Support Team for further assistance. We appreciate your loyalty as a Samsung customer.

Hello Eshoppa, Thank you for sharing your experience with your Galaxy A36 5G. Based on your region and environment, your device may occasionally lose connection to the mobile network or experience slower network speeds. Your subscribed plan, location, and mobile network settings can all influence this. If you are using a 5G device but are unable to connect to 5G, we recommend checking with your carrier to confirm that you are enrolled in a 5G plan and that your account is in good standing. Additionally, verify that you are in an area that supports 5G connectivity. Please also ensure that Wi-Fi calling is disabled, as it may impact call quality depending on your Wi-Fi network. For more information on enhancing your mobile network experience, please refer to the online article titled “Troubleshooting mobile network connection on Samsung phones or tablets.” If you require further assistance or additional troubleshooting, please don’t hesitate to contact our Samsung Support Team. We’re here to help. Thank you for choosing Samsung.
