Frozen screen, Phone gets confused, need to reboot every time this happens

published

My title explains the frustration with this phone. I am very pleased that I bought it from a reputed shop ' Officeworks', who refunded the money. Otherwise a great phone design.

Love my new phon

published

My cheap Alcatel phone recently died, and being a phone that cannot be opened, it is what i call a throw away phone, I did a lot of research and read some reviews and decided to get the Samsung A20, have only had it for 4 days, but no comparison to the cheaper phone, i love the photos, they are so clear, the phone was very easy to set up, the battery holds well which is exactly what i wanted, and everything runs very quickly, and smoothly, not used to such a fancy phone.
Very happy with my choice.

Great design, my phone was incredibly buggy.

published

I loved the phone's features, design and function but sadly my phone was incredibly buggy, with screen freezes and random opening of menus. I tried every known fix around (two factory resets, removed micro sd, bare minimum apps etc, etc but to no avail. A staff member at the store that I bought it from had the exact same issues, so it must have been a bad batch at this store. I loved the phone but was mentally exhausted after trying for four days to resolve the problems. I returned it and got an A30 instead that has been very good so far...

Well priced, large screen, easy to navigate.

published

I have updated from the J1 Mini only because of the need for a higher quality camera for documents.
To cut out that whole printer, scanner, laptop upload scenario.
I`m also assuming my J1 Mini was not 5G ready. This phone is very thin in comparison. Battery life is great. The screen is silky smooth. It does everything the same, emails, youtube, music, photos, internet. Except it`s faster, more responsive. Kinda like going from a 4 cylinder to a 6 cylinder with turbo.
As you might think, yes I go for affordable. My only gripe, it`s hard to hold! Too big for my liking.
If it was the same size as my J1 it would be perfect and SELL LIKE HOTCAKES for my gen who like phones that fit in your pocket. Listening Samsung???

The screen is very clear & it takes great photos.

published

I purchased a Samsung mobile phone on 22/10/19 & it has packed up on 3/11/19. It will not turn off, the torch turned itself on & refuses to turn off, different apps appear & won't go, the screen is flashing & when in use the phone keeps cutting out. It wasn't expensive at $220 but I did expect it to last a bit longer. The photos are really good, can't fault that. I'm letting the battery go flat so that the torch will turn off. I'll have another try at the phone tomorrow but I am disappointed. I'm probably just unlucky.

Decent Phone for the Price

published

I had brought this device as a backup phone for business. It seemed cheap enough so I went and got it on prime from Amazon. The phone is decent for its price. 32GB storage is fairly standard for a budget phone, the camera is alright. The display is great, little bezels and the quality is great.

This phone is incredible

published

Im so pleased with the camera quality of this phone. The pictures are so clear and high definition, which makes the pictures bright and real. Even at night the Camera is pretty efficient, I always take pictures. Also the brightness levels are amazing too, like the auto setting, which saves my battery. All the apps run so fast and smooth, and I can pick up calls easily. I would recommend this phone to everyone. Its truely amazing...

Typo errors are much and the phone unlocks on its own.

published

When typing messages even when u select the right keys, it automatic shows something different and if u don't read your message before then it's a gross issue. The battery lasts quite long. The phone opens and closes at its own pace even when u put it on screen lock.

Great phone for the money

published

Got this for $160 (locked to Vodaphone) - great Android phone for the money. Android 9, fast charging, NFC ... everything I need except missing wifi 802.11ac (aka 5g wifi). Unfortunately where I work does not offer older 2.4Ghz wifi so I can't use it in the office except with mobile data. Other than that the phone ticks all the boxes for me, and is great value for the me

Excellent Value

published

Given the expense of high end phones I try and purchase my family mobiles for sub $250. This Samsung has excellent screen brightness and colour. The screen is very large compared to other family purchases in this category (eg Sony Experia C4) It also had the much desired 3GB RAM so the many apps I use dont choke the system)
Nice and thin for storage in the pocket

Has ev'rything one needs in a phone

published

As an oldie (70yrs) I find this simple to use altho' disable all apps I don't need ... I use it as a remote for C/C, you Tube, TV guide etc and of course my shopping list ...
Has great battery life, nice screen size and colours and is as good as the 'bells'n'whistles overpriced ( imo) latest 'trends

Questions & Answers

Karina B.

Karina B.asked

Hi, I have a Samsung A20 since last year. This morning I went to open Samsung Notes. The screen was blank, meaning Samsung Notes was not responding. First time for this problem. Obviously I have notes that are important to me, such as my Electricity Account Number, Meter box number etc. Any suggestions for problem fixing. I opened App info but nothing to help. On front screen when tapping Samsung Notes, just a pop up advising me, "Samsung Notes keeps stopping". That's it.

1. Your device is up to date with the latest software

2. Clear app's cache
Settings > Apps > Samsung Notes > Storage > Clear cache

Hi Adam, my A20 device is up to date with latest software, but I remember downloading an update two or so days ago from who I supposed was SAMSUNG. Could I have received a virus, but if so then how come nothing else has stopped working.

How do I clear the cache and am I to do so through the SETTINGS app or the internal SAMSUNG NOTES? Thanks

Hi Sandeep, to clarify, does your A20 completely switch off as soon as you taking it off from charging? If so, we recommend for you to head into your nearest authorised service centre so that we can take a look into this.
