  2. My samsung galaxy core restart automatically….I have visited service centre there they fix my problem but again that restart problem started…. I am having this problem the day I bought this phone plz help

    Reply
    • Hi, if you already bring to service center, we assume that the hardware is fine now. Please try to do hard reset, and then we suggest you not to activate your Google account, you can try to create temporary Google account at your Samsung Galaxy Core. Try to use this phone for several day. Why we need to do this? Because Android have facility to backup and restore installed application by Google account at Google cloud server, sometime the applications and setting can be automatically backup to Google cloud server, and when you do hard reset or format all data will wipe from your Galaxy Core, but after login again with the same Google account, your Samsung Galaxy Core might restore that trouble applications back from Google cloud server. So, you can try to use other account and try for several days to see weather still have the same problem or not.

    • Hi, officially the Galaxy Core GT-I8260 still not get official Android Kit-kat update from Samsung, but maybe you can get reference from other community website which already make custom rom (unofficial). But please remember, we need to follow carefully the step by step process to make custom rom can work properly at our smartphone. Anyway, we are not suggest doing update to custom rom because some wrong step can make our Samsung Galaxy Core become stuck or can not use anymore.

  3. my phone is stuck on welcome screen ………. even the battery of my phone is charged…… i have some important images in my gallery….please help me…

    Reply
    • Hi, this problem happen usually because you have ever try root or change unofficial firmware or install some applications that need to have root access. But some users also have this problem without doing root or something like that. First you can try to remove the external memory card, and plug it at memory card reader, connect it to computer to see weather some images already saved at memory card or not. If our phone already stuck or stop at Samsung logo welcome screen, then we can not access any data at internal memory, unless if you already install recovery applications like ClockModWork (CMW). In normal situations, if you never root your phone, then you should try to do hard reset without have possibility to backup all important data. Hopefully your phone will not remove some important data after doing hard reset, because some Android have two partitions inside internal memory, which are system and internal data (act as SDcard) partitions, but we are not sure this state also available at your phone.

  6. hi, my galaxy core duos..is charging very slow..and sometimes does even charge..what do i do?
    it charges from other charger..but from its own charger. its taking a very long time..

    Reply
    • Hi, if your Samsung Galaxy Core only can charge from other charger, then maybe the your own Samsung charger have problem or damage. If you charge with 3th party charger, make sure you use minimum 1000mA / 1A charger, because if you charger with non Samsung charger or 3th party charger, some of them only have 500mA or bellow 1A, so it will make the charging time become slow the usual.

    • Hi, the transfer data from Samsung Galaxy Core to PC should work as easy as copy and paste between drive or folder. Usually if you see some applications appear at your PC after connected the phone using USB cable, this is because your PC detect the phone memory have some files which need to open using specific applications at you PC.

    • 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.

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, 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.

    • Hi, if your Samsung Galaxy Core get trouble with the switching off by itself, there are two problem, one is software and the other one is hardware. The software usually come from applications crash, the hardware can be happen from battery or charger or the power switch. Some users get the same problem because the switch is damage or not working properly because using 3th party hardcase or softcase. However, you can try to do hard reset to make sure your applications back to factory default and the os is reinstall with clean one from the source. If this problems come from apps, then it will work normal again. Otherwise, you should consult with Samsung authorize service center.

    • Hi, if your Samsung Galaxy core LCD screen is not always responsive, first you have to make sure to remove any screen protections, if the problem still happen then maybe some applications can make trouble with it. You can make sure by doing hard reset or reformat your Samsung Galaxy Core. If after reformat the LCD screen still not responsive, it might be some trouble with your LCD digitizer and need to be check at Samsung authorize service center.

  24. My samsung Galaxy Core 18262, automatically has gone to the SAFE MODE, due to which the Downloads are not working, especially Watsap.Please rectify

    • Hi, Safe Mode is usually happen when Samsung Galaxy Core applications run with some strange behavior, it will try to boot without running all non default installed applications. However, you can try to turn off your phone or batter also remove the battery and wait about 2-3 minutes, after that please try to put the battery in the right positions, and turn it on again. If the phone still can not boot normally, then you should consider to do hard reset, at Safe Mode, you can use software menu to do hard reset or master format.

  26. Hi Team,
    From last few days I am unable to download any vedio or audio files from any site (I tried different sites eg whatsapp masti. Com etc)
    when I try to download files it shows standard messages ‘download started’ but can not see down side moving arrow at the top of screen
    Which previously I could see after download message.

    Please help to resolve this problem

    Reply
    • Hi, usually this problem happen because there are no additional free space at your internal memory. Therefore your download can not start correctly. Please note, although your external memory still have many available space, but the download progress from browser usually will automatically save files inside internal memory. Please check your internal memory capacity fron Setting > Storage.

    • Hi, please make sure your battery of Samsung Galaxy Core already charge properly. You can try to change your phone and press POWER on while charging. If you phone do not give any notification while charger connected, then you should try to use different Android charger for test your phone. If you are sure the charger is fine, then you have to do hard reset using hardware button combination key like steps at #Option 2 above.

    • Hi, you have to make sure the Internet connection active when you want to recovery or unlock or bypass forgotten security screen lock at your Samsung Galaxy Core. Please make sure your GSM simcard Internet service is active, or change with other Internet ready GSM simcard if available. If you still can not access Gmail account at your Samsung Galaxy Core, then you have to force hard reset using hardware button combination key.

But the last possibility is your phone have some synchronize data with Google server, if you have signed in with any Google account at the first time your use your phone.

    • Hi, first you have to make sure your phone not in airplane mode. If you are sure airplane more is off, then please try to use different wifi access point, maybe your source access point or router wifi not connected at Internet. If this is happen, you Samsung Galaxy Core still show connected to wifi, but no Internet work.

    • Hi, maybe some 3th party installed applications make your Samsung Galaxy Core become automatically silent mode after phone call. You can try to delete data and caches from Setting > Apps > All, then click Dialer, then press Clear DATA and Clear Cache button. Otherwise you should find suspected installed applications and uninstall that apps. If still not work, then please consider doing hard reset.
