I get a bubble message that lingers forever when i go from text to multimedia that covers the last text so you can not see it and covers the keyboard so you have to type blindly till it finally goes away. When i post on facebook i get a bubble saying that whatever i shared is posting that also lingers. I have gad the phone 24hrs and 2 support agents could not fix the issue. I am so angry!

My Samsung A12 keep telling me the fingerprint scanner isn’t responding, I must try again later. When is later because it’s been happening for a while now 😒😒🤔😑

Marissa Beougher

Well, there is no specific reason behind this error. It’s suggested to remove and register your fingerprint again. 
Go to Settings 
Tap on Biometric and Security
Tap on Fingerprints
Enter Your Pin, Pattern or Password
Tap on the “Register Fingerprint” Option
Now Tap to Remove Old Fingerprint
Tap Again to Confirm “Remove”
Tap “Add Fingerprint”
Do follow the instructions on the screen to register your finger again and see if it helps.

My phone seems to have gone off, won’t come back on and isn’t charging

Patrick Marshall

Unable to get calls or make calls

Tristan

what about screen issues mine wont turn on but it will register that it is charging?

Marissa Beougher

If your Samsung Galaxy A12 screen won’t turn on but it registers that it is charging, there are a few potential solutions to consider such as performing a forced restart, changing the charging cable and adapter, allowing your phone to completely drain its battery until it turns off. After that, connect it to a reliable power source and let it charge for a minimum of 30 minutes.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, it is advisable to contact Samsung support or visit an authorised service centre for further assistance and repairs.
