I had this phone for only 5 months , and without any reason my microphone stopped working it's a decent phone for the price but this microphone problem is a big problem , not only my phone but my two friends had this problem on their j3 and j3 pro and the same, it happened without any reason , i advice you to stay away from the J series since this microphone problem happened to a lot of people

Changing the phone's name (optional) & the phone's network name (optional):
Changing the phone's name:
go to SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > you'll see the phone's name and, if there is below the name option EDIT, click on EDIT: delete the phone's name & enters yours
Changing the phone's network name:
* Turn on MOBILE HOTSPOT & TETHERING
* on the top right, there are 3 vertical dots, click on this
* a dialog box: ALLOWED DEVICES > CONFIGURE MOBILE HOTSPOT = click on this
* on NETWORK NAME, delete the one given and write yours
* (optional) on PASSWORD, delete the one given and write yours

KNOWING THE SAMSUNG A10 & J4
You can avoid touching the physical buttons:
SETTINGS > Accessibility > Interaction & dexterity > turn on the "ASSISTANT MENU" (a circle with 4 dots pops up at the right side of the screen) = there is (among others) a button for:
* SCREENSHOT --instead of pressing "vol. down & power"--.
* SCREEN OFF ("LOCK" ; "LOCK SCREEN")
* on "phone options" = SHUT DOWN (POWER OFF); RESTART; EMERGENCY MODE --instead of press power button--.
* on "menu settings" button = TURN OFF ASSISTANT MENU --instead of press power & vol. up physical buttons--. You can turn on ASSISTANT MENU before SCREEN OFF, quickly: just go to "RECENTS"
# Download app for wake screen & you avoid touching all physical buttons
# It's possible to attach DOKs because this phone features DOK otg, so you can download data to a DOK
# It works on J4 too
---------------
Saving power (battery) J4:
SETTINGS > DEVICE MAINTENANCE > BATTERY > ALWAYS SLEEPING APPS = Select apps that will never be able to run in the background. These apps may not receive updates or send you notifications.
On A10:
SETTINGS > DEVICE CARE > BATTERY > SETTINGS (3 dots on top right) = SLEEPING APPS = Select apps that will never be able to run in the background. These apps may not receive updates or send you notifications.

Sam, 23 May 2019My phone restars automatically when i play games...does anyone have a solution for this??There are 2 solutions for this:
The J4 has released a new update this year (2019) to solve this bug... I suggest you update your device to latest Oreo.
If for some reason you cannot detect a recent update then there is another solution. Go onto Apps
Delete the "Game Optimizing Service" -- This has been causing the instability of playing games...
Hope this helps..
