How come I can’t send or receive pictures on my samsung stratosphere?
my samsung stratosphere indicates that i have voice messages. however, i don’t have any new messages. i turned the phone off and on and took the battery out, and put it back as verizon tech told me. nothing seems to be working.
On my first Samsung Stratosphere I was showing duplicate emails and text messages. Best Buy replaced it with a new unit…… it still shows duplicate emails but text messages OK. Must be a hardware problem………..my gmail on-line account is working fine. Will probably go back and try a 3rd unit??
Why wont my samsung stratosphere upload emails?
