How to limit the mailbox on my Samsung Galaxy S7 so that only the last period and not all of them? The phone is crashing due to too many mails. My old only stored last 3 days or 1 week on the phone, how to find that functionality?
simon says
Email app or Gmail app? Can you find the account settings?
For IMAP email accounts, you can choose how many to sync. For pop3, you have to delete them.

Olleh says
Since recently updating to the new Android (7.0) the folders on the homescreen open out a full screen folder instead of the pop up smaller folder as my previous version. Any ideas on how to revert back to that setting? It takes more “clicks” to use games, facebook and google folders now using the back button instead.
Thanks!
simon says
This is part of the launcher. There are no settings for this. So, you cannot simply roll back.
You have to use third-party launchers if you hat this full screen folder. You can try Google Now launcher or Nova.

My Samsung galaxy s7 turned itself off and I cannot get into my phone without a pin number which I didn’t install. Only pattern and thumb recognitions. Can you help please
simon says
I guess it’s PIN fur powering up. None can help because only you know the PIN.
If it’s lock screen, you can unlock it with your Samsung account through find my mobile. But if it’s PIN fur powering up, no one can help.

How do I download photos etc in my Gallery to my computer
simon says
Install SmartSwitch (which includes USB driver for all Samsung phones) on the PC. Then when you connect your S7 to the PC, you can view all files on the phone from your PC. Your S7 works like a thumb drive. The photos are located under DCIM folder.
You can also use SmartSwitch to back up the phone, including photos.
You can also back up photos to your Google drive using Photos app which is pre-installed on S7. Then you can access and download your photos from any devices.

I haven’t changed anything….or moved anything…was only upgraded 2 weeks ago…and it just changed. Baffling me.
simon says
Not sure. what’s inside Galaxy S7 is just a link. The browser (Samsung’s one) load the page and redirect you to the proper (presumably) start page. In most versions, it redirects based on the firmware. Sometimes, it may redirect based on SIM card region. T
Anyway, the online manual is identical to the PDF version of the S7 user manual in our website (for S7; for S7 edge) . You can download a copy and use it offline.

2nd day of owning the Galaxy S7, which is my very FIRST cell phone ever, and I cant get into ANYTHING! Have nothing but a black screen!
Went to look at my phone contacts this AM and got a message that something or another needed updated…. so I accepted. It said I couldn’t use the phone for 1/2 hour while it updated. Then when I tried to get in it, it told me I couldn’t use my fingerprint, that I had to use my 4 digit pin the first time. I put in the pin, hit ok, and haven’t been able to get in since!
If this is how user friendly it is to operate, Ill never get another one!
Anyone have any suggestions, or do I have to go back to the store today where I bought it at yesterday?
Thanks kindly!
simon says

I’m having trouble adding fields to my contacts pages; only getting phone number and email spaces but can see no other indicator to get more fields. Help pls!
simon says
Very likely, the contact is saved on the SIM card. For contacts in SIM card, you only have name and phone number.
You can copy the contact to phone storage or Google account. Then you can set all fields for that contact.

Customer service at my provider had me put the sim card into my edge without the tray is there a way to eject the sim card and properly install it?
simon says
You must use the sim card tray. It’s better to get the card out in service centre or some shops with experiences. Don’t try it yourself. It’s easy to damage the slot.
