Re: My phone is dead

Floydy, try taking the SIM Card out and put it back in again, sometimes the card slips.

While plugged into a wall outlet, press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for about 10 to 20 seconds or until the Samsung logo appears. This might help if your device is just frozen and stuck on black screen but still has power.

There's a section on this link specifically for this problem, just look through the list of topics provided:

Mine is an iPhone so I know nothing about Samsung mobiles but the 'rebooting' as described has sorted out the few problems I've had in the past. Good luck!

Thanks for that information Baz. I'm going to make note of it in case I ever have problems with my new iphone.

Similar also to clearing all history and cookies, it clears the problem and starts from afresh. I've found that it does pay to do this once in a while anyway, it just clears out everything that could potentially cause problems.

Re: My phone is dead

I don't have any problems as I don't have a mobile phone.
