Asked this is XDA but still no reply.:( Hope someone here could help.
I have not rooted Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) SM-J320FN, last actualized this January. These days I downloaded on it and on my rooted Lenovo A1000 some .apks from apkpure. The ones that names contain unicode and ascii characters remained like zero bytes files with no permissions (MD5Operation failed). But they indeed occupy space on the devices. I managed to clear the rooted device with Root Explorer by JRummy Apps and the space on it increased. But I can't clear my Samsung. The files are over 200 MB. I very much need this space to be freed.

Hello everyone! Bought this a couple of days ago and the light for the back and recent apps buttons does not work. I have searched everywhere in the settings and installed a couple apps from the store,still nothing. The phone is brand new. Is it possible that it doesn't have lighted buttons from the factory?

I've had this phone for 2 years and its actually fine.. i have some problem in the memory system because my phone always warn me that my memory is full and sometimes i can't open my gallery. Actually this phone is good with inexpensive prize. But my problem starts from last week.. i wiped my phone with wet tissues but on the next day my phone can't be touched.. i still can turn on the phone but to turn off the phone i should take of the battery. So be careful because this phone is sensitive with water.. i hope this is helping :)

This phone is great! This is second J3 smartphone. Perfect for my life. Intuitive and easy to use.
However I do have a question. Is this phone a dual band? We have 5g wifi at my office and unable to access it. Any ideas? Thanks.

It's not the best Samsung phone ever but for social media usage and phone calls it's really OK .(I am a teenager girl too )

The second one didn't get updated drivers beacuse spreadtrum . An forced update will turn the device into a brick 😕. So in conclusion we won't get an 6.0.1 update nor nougat update.

My last Samsung, i regret i buy this phone. Why USA get Android 6.0 and EU Android 5.1 and they don't even upgrade this?

Hi, I have a european version of this J3 2016 and the problem is that this one is stuck on 5.1.1
The consequence is that one cannot really blend the external SD with internal memory.
Any suggestions?

These remarks are of the J3V so your milage may vary, but as for its cheaper end price, it does what you'd expect for the price. When new it ran great, but as time went on it got unbearably slow. Updating and downloading apps takes forever and severely slows the phone down, not to mention the back gets noticeably hot. The 5mp camera was absolute garbage and the battery wouldn't last an hour without dropping to 60-75% ... I could only recommend this phone if you planned on doing the basics such as call, text, and browsing the web. Otherwise save up for a newer higher quality phone.

I wanted a basic phone with some apps and basic internet.
This phone does all that.
But it comes with lollipop and that means you cant run apps of sd card. Some apps can be moved but that really does on move a portion of it not all.
The phone has 8gb memory which one would think is enough. But Samsung put so many stock standard apps like office on it which take all the space and it cant be uninstalled.
So if you install skype , whatsapp and facebook, you have about 700mb left.
Try to install anything else and you cant or you are in the enless annoyance with clearing cache and moving what you can to sd.
It is beyond me why samsung would release a produce which is not functional.
And alost 2 years later and still no update to later os update which will fix the issue.

Whilst the features and ease of use are good. The storage on the 8gb is shocking. Constantly wanting to update apps that are already on the phone . Ended up with nothing of my own (app wise)
Had to buy extra memory card to store photos but can't load apps on it.
In short if your after a phone that your hardly ever going to use then maybe this might do otherwise I'd avoid it (8gb) at all costs.
