Hello all, well recently i was gifted a Samsung Galaxy A11 to replace my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active. Lets just say the process of learning this new phone is difficult. With that said, I can't  seem to find some functions i would normally find on other phones. For instance,  for a long while i couldnt figure out how you would share with bluetooth. Wasnt the same way for a long while, then i have this nice little stand off with the finger print sensor as well. (And I'll have to learn about how it works so i can figure out why it wont detect my finger 90% of the time) i guess i am asking for tips for how to use this phone without seeming to argue with it everyday? Idk. Personally i would've stuck with my s5, but even that is showing its age these days.

Hello @NKM01, I know how frustrating it is trying to adjust to a new phone. Here is a link to a simulator for the A11. It may help you to become more familiar with the settings on the phone. http://publish.samsungsimulator.com/simulator/bca96d4c-6dc1-47a5-bbc5-7780de7b1db6/

 

This article may help with the fingerprint issue you are experiencing. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01200322 Sometimes it helps to register the same fingerprint more than once. 

 

Please let me know if this helps or if you have any additional questions.
