  • How can I disable safe mode on my galaxy gt-18262..i tried different method but no avail..like restarting the phone..i even hard reset it but it keep showing safe mode.

    • Hi, basically safe mode will be appear or activate when we boot Samsung Galaxy Core together with press Menu button or the left of Home button (home button is in the middle). Usually the normal operating system will easily turn off or stop the safe mode after we do soft reset or reboot the phone. Try to do it again several time without touch anything at the menu soft key. The other option you can try is consider doing hard reset to reinstall the factory default operating system to your Samsung Galaxy Core, but of course you need to backup all important data before doing hard reset, because all important data will be wipe or remove while performing hard reset.

  • I have by mistake deleted the samsung app store application from my Core I 8262. How can i restore it agin?

    • Hi, uninstall the application will make all data and setting for that apps will be remove as well. So, you can try to download again from Google Play Store to have that application again. Some applications maybe backup or have export to other folder for data, so we can import or restore again for later time, but if you never do backup or export from that applications, then you should setup again that new installed application from beginning.

    • Hi, the connection really depend on your network provider. Some provider does not have good connection at specific area, but it will work fine at other place. Therefore you should try to test your network connection to several different locations, if some place fine then you should consider to change provider with better network coverage area in your city. Other possibility is that you activate 2G only data network at your Samsung Galaxy Core, please make sure you use 3G network from Menu Setting > More > Mobile Networks > Preferred network type choose to 3G or WCDMA preferred.

  • Hi, I'm using galaxy core i8262.
    Nowadays, it is having a problem, when I'm trying to download any application from playstore it is showing 'not enough storage'; in fact it is having enough storage in phone memory. What to do in such condition?

    • Hi, the internal storage at your Samsung Galaxy Core is divide into 2 location, one is for system and the other one is for data. You may also have external storage if you put memory card on it. Usually the full file storage space is happen at system partitions. Although you see the free space still available, but if the size less then 200MB free space of memory storage, then the upload or install new applications from Google Play Store will stop or not success, because it need space to download, extract and install the application. The system partitions contain cache or data storage from application that sometime can not move to external storage like Whatsapp data, Facebook data, Line data, BBM data, Twitter data and something like that, in fact after use several period, that applications data will be added more and more for the history and other information. Please consider to remove some not use one to give more free storage for you internal system memory.
