Apps disappeared from the Home screen
Problem: When I turn on my phone the home screen is completely clear there are no apps on it or home button or app grid nothing. So I restarted every time then the apps appear. Help. I went to the metro store and they configured my applications but they said it might be the software.
Solution: I'm wondering how they 'configured' it and I'm also curious how and when this problem started. Those guys will just turn your phone off then back on, launch some apps to look they're doing something but they, too, couldn't figure out what's wrong with the phone let along fix the problem.
Now, there's one thing you can try–master reset. If it was just a firmware issue, then it would fix it. Here's how…
- Turn off your Samsung Galaxy S6.
- Press and hold the Volume Up, Home and Power keys together.
- When the device powers on and displays ‘Power on logo', release all keys and the Android icon will appear on the screen.
- Wait until the Android Recovery Screen appears after about 30 seconds.
- Using the Volume Down key, highlight the option, ‘wipe data/factory reset' and press the Power key to select it.
- Press the Vol Down button again until the option ‘Yes — delete all user data' is highlighted and then press the Power key to select it.
- After the reset is complete, highlight ‘Reboot system now' and hit the Power key to restart the phone.
After the reset and the problem is still there, go back to Metro store and talk to a manager. Tell them you already reset the phone but the problem remained. They are required to make compromises as they couldn't just ask their customers to pay the bill without using the service.
Quick Connect app won't update on the Galaxy S6
Problem: The quick connect wont update. I cleared the data n cache. Without the update i cant use it. It just disappears when I try to update it. I was also wondering if there's a way to have the phone notify me when I missed calls and texts when the phone was off. Thank you for your audience and help.
Solution: About the Quick Connect app that won't update, there's one very effective solution to that. Uninstall it and then download the fresh copy from the Play Store and install it. Problem solved.
Now about your question on how to make the phone notify you of your missed calls and text when it was off, well, how can you make the dead speak? Seriously, you can't do that.
Galaxy S6 reset itself twice already
Problem: I have had my S6 for a few months now. Don't have a lot of apps. Twice since I have had the device, it has basically erased itself. The first time was all my contacts. The second time was everything. Contacts, Apps I had downloaded, recent pictures and videos, memos that I had written down. Basically, a factory reset. What would cause this?
Answer: It's possible and one of the common causes is firmware update. The phone may have updated itself automatically and deleted everything along the process. So far, this is the best guess and I can provide.
