        and for the first time since communication began we have now perfected a new way of communication.Talking was the first means of communication; alexander bell created the telephone and the nerds created the text whereby we never get a reply?? We are progressing and one day we will get to the stage whereby there is no communication albeit we may be nearly there with television or google?

          all mobil phones underachieve! why? because you never know what they are capable of! The nerds that design them understand what they have made BUT they never tell you what you can do with what they have made. It is like needing a Phd in electronics to understand the capability of the device called a mobile phone. IF they told you how to operate the DAMN device you might have half a chance of using it properly.They do not even give you a handbook with it in stead they rely on your "mates" telling you how it works. The same applies to computers (which is what a phone is today). AS for predictive text, well! Try guessing what your friend is going to say next and see how far you get! It simply does not work, it is the worst thing the nerds have ever created

              Andrew, 13 Nov 2020Hi there just wondering why Samsung J3 the Wfi Network keeps going off and on Hello, I think an issue you might want to consider is if you are using a wifi extender. Sometimes wifi extenders disconnect the wifi connection for some reasons. This happens to me momentarily too. If not that maybe it's your wifi router or your phone

                        The phone is just ok. The phone lost it's ability to transfer images to my computer.
                        I did a reset and before I did a reset it worked just find with a data cable.
                        I have tried many apps (installing and un-installing).
                        The strangest thing is when I read "how to" this phone does not have some of the things found on the instructions of what to do, such as one instruction is to tap the USB Icon, when I do nothing happens. I am using a data cable...
