My phone keeps me notifying that you have low phone memory and that you SD card has been removed unexpectedly. Im so much fed up of these. i have hardly two applications downloaded on my phone memory. My friend has the same phone but she is free of these problems though she has downloaded some apps on her phone. i have samsung galaxy YS5360. Please help me :(
ReplyDeleteFirst of all backup all of your contacts,sms and anything stored on your phone then reset the phone.It will work.
DeleteI can't figure out how to remove the notification icon on the upper left corner of my screen. It looks like a SIM card with a screw. Would you know how to get rid of it? Thanks.
ReplyDeletethe sim card with a screw icon in notification appears during media scanning on your memory card.It automatically vanishes after scanning the sd card.If something is wrong with sd card then the icon will appear continuously.Are you able to access your memory card.The memory card format should be FAT or FAT32 not NTFS.Check your sd card first.It's not the problem with phone.
Deletei cant delete an icon that suddenly popped up at the upper left corner of my phone. it is a simcard with a hashtag #" and if i slide down the notification bar my number is displayed together with the icon.
ReplyDeletecan you upload a pic of that notification icon and the notification?

the problem might be with the sim card.Check by inserting a new sim card of other carrier.

I want to increase my internal memory.
What should I do?
Shadrach for battery saving tips check these.
Delete1.Always turn off bluetooth,gps,wifi,data connection and background data.
2.screen brightness should be low.
If your galaxy y keeps on heating without use then your phone's battery is faulty.When I play games on it it heats to 48 degrees I use android assisstant to monitor temperature.
You can't increase internal memory.
I can not open picture messages; it just perpetually says DOWNLOADING and when i click on it, i just get the message details like size, when it was sent, etc. I inserted one of those tiny SD memory cards,but it has not seemed to help except that I can now take pictures with the phone (but they will not send).
ReplyDeleteCan you upload a pic.Well if picture messages are not opening then galaxy y does not support them.

Please Help me.In My music list, I have flower backround and suddenly it change, one of my camera photo, almost every song picture. I didn't want to change my picture. What can I do to change it back?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Melissa this is a very common problem and I have faced it too so many times.There is a simple solution to this problem that is don't put images and songs in different folder.If you put songs in different folder which should not contain any camera image of you then while playing music your photos will not show up and you will see only a flower background.Make separate folders for "MUSIC" and put all your music files in this folder only and do not put images in this folder.
DeleteGood Luck
