    • Hi, after you do hard reset but your phone Samsung Galaxy Pocket still get the same problem switch on and off by itself, then we are worry the problem come from your hardware. You should try make sure about your phone power button, some Android get problem because it use 3th party hard case that make the power button pressed, make sure you remove all accessories at your phone. Please also try to hard reset again, do not sign-in any account at your phone, then wait for about 1 hour too see your phone still get problem or not.

  • hi . im using samsung GT-S5300 . my camera shows error . cant use it . please help.me fix it :(

    • Hi, you can try to download other 3th party camera applications from Google Play Store to test weather your default camera application have problem or not. You can Try Camera360 or something similar for camera applications, please remember to always download high rating and good review applications from Google Play Store, because there also many not good applications that can make our Samsung Galaxy Pocket functions become problem. If the camera still can not work with other 3th party camera applications, then you should try to do hard reset to make the camera and applications back to factory default. If the Camera still can not work after doing hard reset, then you have to bring your phone to Samsung authorize service center for further test.

  • Hi. I am using samsung galaxy pocket neo GT-S5312. The only problem I am facing is that my phone always lags in between using apps whenever the mobile data is on although i have only few apps installed. Is there a way so that my phone can be boost up and can do multitasking easily because my sister is having samsung galaxy music duos and it works very fast.

    • Hi, although this article talk about different phone, but we will try to help. Basically the specification of your Samsung Galaxy Pocket NEO GT-S5312 is enough for doing standard activity like email, chatting, browsing, listen to the music, social media like Facebook, Instagram and something like that. But we need to know, doing all standard activity still need some memory to load the applications, and the Samsung Galaxy Pocket only have 512MB RAM, therefore you will get some slow or lag time when access between each applications. While the phone need more RAM, then it will try to find one or more application to close by system to free the memory RAM, so it can running the last application that you choose. About your syster's Samsung Galaxy Music Duos that run more smooth than your Samsung Galaxy Pocket, maybe the multitasking is not as many as your phone, the running application in the background is different. So you can try to do hard reset and use your phone again with standard application, hopefully it should run more faster than before.

    • Hi, you should make sure the internal memory card contain operating system storage and data storage partitions at your Samsung Galaxy Pocket, you see at PC or computer have 1 GB free space but that location at data partitions.

Then see your internal memory will be get more free space. The other alternative that you can do is doing hard reset, so all cache will be removed and only factory default applications run in the beginning, but of course you have to backup all important data before doing hard reset.
