Other SmartphonesHi,
How do I perform a factory reset for my Samsung galaxy a3 2016? I had the instructions, but lost them.
I don't get text notifications anymore, ever since the software on my phone was updated. My phone doesn't even vibrate when I get a message. It's so frustrating!
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
