Samsung Galaxy Core Prime - User Reviews

  • For the cheap price I got it in, it's an okay device. After some software "tweaks" (turning off autoupdate in the Play Store, and replacing some Google apps with their Go versions), it is pretty responsive (I didn't test games though). Battery could have been better. Also, when you just configure this device, it comes with a LOT of Google apps not a lot people will probably use (although thankfully you can hide them or turn them off). Overall not bad if you don't overpay.

  • Dose not support jio volte

  • Just download an app

  • There are many apps available on Google play store that takes screenshot, Try "Screenshot easy" from play store

  • this is a call for help! cant i take a screenshot on this galaxy phone if my power button is not working?

  • my Samsung Galaxy core prime has a poor rear and front camera

  • I am pleased for the use I received out of this phone. This was passed down to me & I have used it for at least 3 years. The camera quality is fairly poor but other than that it has been keeping up with my demands. The only other complaint is that around only 4GB are usable which is an obstacle if you'd like to download a wide array of applications.

  • A decent phone, i still use it, on a second number.

  • Hmmm ok I know this phone a big mistake Video recording at night but not flash on with recording I tried to solve this problem You chek it

  • I have had this phone for a while now, and it is not worth the cost. It has 8 gigabytes of internal storage, but only about 4 of it is usable. I have a tablet made by RCA made about 5 years prior that works better than this phone.

  • really good phone this was, yes, the screen is pretty small and a sub hd resolution,it is pretty slow and not that much storage, but cmon it's a 2015 budget phone!

  • The internal storage is not enough now(only 8GB, actually less than 4GB available after the OS occupation). I have added a microsd card into the phone. I have moved the photos and some files into the sd card. But even for the apps usage, The internal storage is not adequate. How to move the app to the sd card? THX!

  • This phone sucks like honestly, the battery is shit. After 3 years, the battery lasts like 2 minutes after charging it to 100%. It takes like 5 minutes to load google chrome, and like even longer for other apps. I wouldn't recommend this phone to any of you people reading this so don't get this YETH.

  • yeh this was my first phone. Was a cheap price and lasted 3 years. At the end of its life its battery lasted only like 5 mins :/

  • My experience with this handset has been amazing. It's been 4 years I'm currently using Samsung galaxy prime core DUOS and I won't mind continuing it.

  • I think it does deserve the bad reviews. But mine might be defective, or Google may be at fault for not ever stopping continuous Play Services updates that keep ever further overtaxing older phones. The resolution always seemed good to me, but yes not easy to see it in daylight.

  • That's not specific to this phone, but try Real Caller, Should I Answer, or YouMail Robocall Blocker. Look like good ones, I'm going to try.

  • Get a new battery for your phone on Amazon.

  • The phone was eventually dying with my original battery at 70-80%. It just needs a replacement. Even with the lousy cheap new one it doesn't die until lower than 5%. The main camera I thought was really good, that is until it gets scratched beyond use. That happens merely from normal putting it down on anything, that isn't super soft.

  • Wow, after 5 years! Mine is intolerably horrible after less than 3 years. Glacially slow doesn't cover it. Main camera lens got scratched up & camera is not usable. I'm not hard on things at all, the display is still almost perfect. Lens sticks out, so you can't put it down on anything not super soft.

  • Extreme frustration- glacial is much faster than this phone. This is a low-end phone computer. Mine has always been unreliable and very problematic. It has serious system performance problems constantly. Generally used to require reboot every 48-60 hours; could be a lot sooner, or sometimes even a lot later. Lately though, it must be rebooted every single day, if I want halfway acceptable performance, half the time. With its hardware, and the manufacturer claims, you'd think it would run fast, but in fact it's always been slower than cold molasses, the majority of the time. Surprising the luke warm ratings on performance this site gave. Lately, it's most of the time it will keep you waiting for a response all day. Have to do something else for several minutes, come back when it's finally responded, for every little step. It has gone from bad to worse, to intolerably worse. It was actually defective from the start, and I should've done a warranty return. It has about every type of malfunction or failure regularly. It's always screwed up the home screen icons after almost every reboot. Bluetooth has frequent failures- needs shutting off and reactivating. Lately, it won't respond to Bluetooth commands most of the time, no matter how often it's reset. People constantly complaining they can't hear you on this phone. It has a poor microphone, with a lot of noise. (Lousy T-Mobile signal doesn't help either.) The small amount of time it's actually not having performance problems, it's pretty cool to use. Lately, that's hardly ever. I have noticed when the SD card is removed, performance immensely improves (I have many apps installed on it). Google Play Services is responsible for most of the increasing horrendous system performance problems, from what I can determine. Possibly I should try rooting, and force the heinous Play Services to only run an old and manageable version. I wanted to reflash the OS, but Best Buy couldn't get it to work, and didn't manage to try it myself.

  • install firmware without the lock

  • I have used for 5yrs now. SM-G360H....Still awesome.💯

  • Well is your sim card from Verizon? Lol

  • Well, I just got one today. It looks and feels nice and it’s written “Verizon 4G LTE at the back cover. Now, as I inserted my sim, the phone rejected it and I got this message ‘Sim is not from verizon’ please who can help me on how to resolve this issue?

  • Yes

  • Had mine for approx 2.5 years, no problems does what it says it will, at 70 years old no problems working it. due to my light usage the battery last about 3 days.

  • An entry-level phone with entry-level specs. Good for those wanting a true one-handed experience, or in my case, a phone that fits comfortably in my pocket. The phone can be rooted, which is a HUGE plus for those of us concerned with privacy, but the battery life is relatively short compared to other phones.

  • I have been using this model: Samsung Galaxy Core Prime G360f for 2.5 years. POSITIVE:Basic functionality works excellent: sms and calls. It is the most important, because it is still phone. Battery is ok, I have to charge it almost every day. I noticed that photos are excellent at day-light and in nature. I am very satisfied with pictures which are made in nature, without any filter,etc. My phone is white color. I like how it is looks. It is small dimensions so it is comfortable for my hands. NEGATIVE: Well, I added external memory (16GB). I moved all pictures, videos,other files and apps to external memory. After that change my phone works faster. Front camera doesn't have any kind of light, flash so I can't take pictures in dark. I ignored upgrading to Lollipop, but at one moment i had to accept that change. If I install some less-known apps, there are pop-up boring ads. So I have to "clean" that. I think it is not problem related to device. If I use the phone for a long time, it heats,but it is not problem for me. It can make some ordinary photos, or I am not good photographer. They are not professional, but they are ok. (There are a lot of filters to made them better, I know that.)

  • If you try hard enough and can take the smell of burning plastic then sure. ...oh wait, a flashlight torch? In that case sure as well

  • good phone but has sone problems I've had this phone for 3 years and now my batery dies at 60%😥 and the camera is not very good good but exept for that no more complaints and for the price (for me it was 60€) I rate it a solid 7/10 I recommend if on a tight budget

  • can this phone be used as a torch?

  • Great phone. Can give it an A

  • Got it for free. For what it is, I'm impressed. Better than the LG Leon at least

  • pretty good phone ,I bought it 4 years ago and it worked well stucking at kitkat is the only annoying thing for me now I'm trying to use a mod rom

  • Change battery. Works fine for me now.

  • It's a really good phone.Had it for almost 4 years. Running on 5.1.1 but can I play pubg in it?

  • all ok....only one problem phone dies in 40% it is very annoying for me :( :( :(

  • this phone does not have call block feature how can i block spam callers?

  • Galaxy Core Prime is a pretty basic device. With 1 GB RAM and 410 Snapdragon processor, don't expect very powerful computing from this phone. I agree that this phone does not deserve the bad reviews it receives but it does present its own issues. Battery life can be a hassle due to poor battery optimization and forget about multitasking. Resolution and camera are nothing special and even for android users hoping to obtain better performance through root modifications, root is hard to obtain on models such as the SM-G360T and SM-G360T1. Although not good at heavy tasks, the phone will perform admirably if you are a person who only seeks basic phone functions and the price tag doesn't hurt at all considering its a budget phone.

  • I have been using this phone for the past 4 years. The phone is a bit lagging on occasions. Some applications crash frequently. And the battery dies at 30%. But, this phone is the only reason why I am planning to stay with Samsung again. When all my friends has had 4 phones already, I am still satisfied with this one phone. But, Samsung's decision to withdraw the option to upgrade android software from Kitkat to Lollipop was a big disappointment for me.

  • I admit, I was a bit skeptical about getting this phone when viewing the negative reviews... however I do not have the issues that others have had, and I use this phone solely for Courier apps daily/heavily. Not had any problems with this phone. I have not experience my phone battery dying out at the 30%, 40% ... not even at 15%.. as I said, I am a heavy user with these Courier apps along with Waze running at the same time, and other communication apps that I use. I will say that the apps may play a part on one's individual phone... I only use my phone for my purposes that I listed above... I'm fine with mines. Had mines since September of 2016 ... it is now August 8th of 2018.. Will buy another if I needed to.

  • I have this phone too, but I don't understand why it gets so much hate on it. I agree, the battery dies at 30%. For me, it dies at 40%. But it not glitches. I have this phone for 4 years now, I never had to replace it, it is just the best phone ever except the battery.

  • best phone by samsung ever...

  • This phone is the worst phone in the world Battery dies at 30% It's glitching af Battery cover is that plastic that it bend Screen so small that when I type in my mother's tongue I feel like I'm typing into a flip phone and so ,and so ... 1/10don't but it

  • can anyone tell me why my phone isnt ringing when called

  • Bought as new in 2014 end.. Still works fine and battery works almost as good as new. Still using it, always had protection on so looks almost like new to. Camera is not very good thou.

  • OTA updates are up to 5.1.1., that's what I have. Go to Settings-> About Phone-> Software Update.

  • i bought it in 2014 and it was so good so good now its kind of boring bcoz its so old and weak beside the other mobiles i still with android kitkat 4.4.4 i realy want to upgrade it to lillipop but i don't know how? if u know u can tell me

  • Have had this phone for a year and a half, bought in Aug '16, still works fine. I keep the data and wireless off until I use them to save battery. I usually get a day and a half or more of charge with minimal use. Call quality is usually better than my wife's iPhone 8, but that may be a carrier issue. All stats are mediocre, I know, but it's all I really need so I'm fine with that. Plays lower spec games fine and has solid media playback and Bluetooth connectivity. Stream Youtube music occasionally over LTE, works fine. All in all, it's a solid phone without flagship bells and whistles (actually has some of those sounds if you want them, haha) and is a nice size to boot. I like it it and will use it for a while longer.

  • have this phone still now almost 3 yrs but the screen broke i drop it 3 months ago still works properly still not giving up on me wow...if it ever gives up ill replace it again with another samsung

  • Very good phone. Mine came with KitKat, but updated to Lollipop (5.1.1) with no issues. My first died in the first year when I dropped it for the umpteenth time and the antenna connection broke. My second it still going strong after nearly two years. What makes or breaks this phone is a fast (faster the better so pay the extra cost) large capacity SD card (I've used 64GB, 128GB, and 200GB with no issues, although phone specs say up to 64GB), and a memory manager (I use Link2SD) to offload its very limited internal storage (8GB) to the SD card. Only issue I've had is odd inability to run Samsung Pay despite having the LTE model with NFC, although Google Pay runs just fine.

  • This is a great phone had one over 3 years No problem 😀

  • This is a complete piece of crap. Do NOT buy this, you will regret it. It freezes, it takes forever to charge, it has a short battery life, it over heats. It is a piece of crap. Do not bet it. Worst. Phone. Ever.

  • A good budget phone. Got it in 2015. Unfortunately after 2 years it got annoying and needed to give it away. Now I have an S8. If you plan to get a budget phone in 2018 go for other Galaxy phone. This one is just too old now. The phone has some cons: It's made of plastic so it gets dirty super easy. The audio is not amazing. It lags and opens apps very hard (but after several months of use of course).

  • so good, mobile phone 4 star

  • i have same problem

  • yes

  • I am using it for almost 2 years. still battery back up is realy good. no hanging issue. I'm more than satisfied with it☺

  • Good phone, except that most of the time it will not connect with my router via wifi. I end up restarting the entire system (sometimes more than once), before it will connect. Irritating. Android 4.4.4

  • Safe Mode normally happens when after powering on you hold down the volume down key - If it is not done on purpose it could be your case if you have one.

  • when i pressed on button, it displayed on the lower part right side of menu screen the word: "safe mode". is this on samsung specs? or is my phone hacked?

  • A couple of days ago everytime I try to send a message .It fails .I'm sure it is something simple but I dont know how to fix it. Thanks Lana

  • Hardware is phenomenal if you correctly use it.root your phone install the custom rom and just enjoy.i installed ressurection remix os 7.1.2.i m playin PES 2018 asphalt8 on my g360h very smoothly...to do all this root and os stuff refer XDA forum.

  • Back in 2015 I got this from T-mobile as their base model for $100 and as it sits on the desk next me I must say its held up well. It isn't anything powerful especially by today standards it still is decently fast considering its age and specs. Of course I am not playing games on my phone because I mostly use it for social media. Obviously you can get the j7 now for a little bit more and its far beyond the core primes ability for only 50 dollars more (through T-mobile) if they even have it any more due to high replacement rate of base models. Only complaint is battery life span but since the cover comes of not really that big of a problem since you can replace it.

  • oh god, I got this nearly 4 years ago, and I'm finally changing it. I got it out of necessity for I think 140 $. It did it's job, worked well, until obviously it started dying out on me, the fact that it lasted so long is a testament of how good this phone is ( for the price ). it's sad buying a new phone after so many years, but oh well.

  • I received one as a Christmas gift last year and it was just okay. It started random crashing off and on for a couple of months and gradually got worse with other issues. Keyboard has an issue where you correct a letter it deletes every letter between the first and the one you corrected and the stock browser is outdated. Web pages sometimes don't display and I don't like the additional Google Chrome browser so I had to download one that performs and I also ended up downloading a keyboard also. The 1GB of RAM is also an aggravation. My 15 year old Windows XP computer that has 512MB of RAM outperforms it with the exception of YouTube on the browser. I barely run anything on here and the RAM usage runs at 90%. I tried out an identical model and it does the same thing but I didn't use it enough to know if it would occasionally crash but both phones have screen problems the main one being it types l when when you hit the backspace. I've only found it suitable mainly for calls and text. If you want it to run with any kind of speed don't add social networking apps especially Facebook. Just adding it only slows it down enough.

  • When I plug my Galaxy Core Prime into any USB port on my Lenovo laptop I get the following error message - "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it". My phone won't connect to my laptop. The phone charges thru the USB port(s) fine.

  • if you are facing storage problem go to storge in settings and delete cache data.also go to my files device storage DCIM and delete thumbnails.

  • hi. charge your battery atleast 50 percents then put batter out of the mobile for two days.it will go batter

  • i have this phone for two and a half years n not a issue i have ...i pick up 4g n 3g it might be the area u located in does not have enough 3g n 4g coverage

  • hi there i have bought this phone second hand, but i have problems with the network, the only indication it shows is "E" and dosn't want to connect to 4G or 3G. please help me resolve this.

  • Been using this phone 4 almost 3 years now and I think is time to change my daily driver... Been thinking to buy the S8 or the iPhone 8 to replace this old... Sturdy phone.

  • the same problem

  • Very good problem just that the storage space is insufficient

  • I remember seeing an advertisement about this phone back in 2014 and I had this great desire top own one, which I did for Christmas. I have been using my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime for almost 3 years now and it still works perfectly from when I purchased it. This one is a keeper.

  • I am using for more than 8 months.......I bought used one & still working perfectly

  • Hi guys to those experience 30% phone shut down well do this ,, .. 1. turn on your phone make it drain the battery 0% 2. Remove the battery pack then put back (repeat 2 times) 3. put it back the battery pack and charged at least 50% 4. remove the battery and use it, when you reached the battery to 20% 5. recharged your phone until 80% then use it normally. the battery back to its normal until you observed to its stable performance, charged to fully, NOTE: cause of issues ( Battery power saver always swtich on,,cause of battery program accurate or unstable, we can use this in thye right time, in purpose ) i hope this helps

  • So I have had this phone for approximately 2 years but the battery has gone from bad to worse and im not sure if it is too do with how long I have the one but it has now started dying on 60-70%. About 3 months ago, it used to get slow and shut down on 59% and now on 70 it will glitch and automatically shut down and when I turn it on the battery will be on 1%. Any tips on how I should make my battery last longer or is it really just to do with the length of time I have had this phone for?

  • had it for over two years. recently glitching out/opening apps n closing apps by itself/turning off at 30% battery. now it is completely stuffed, continually getting pop ups saying Google Play services has stopped.

  • Had my core prime for 3 years, no dramas just a good solid phone.

  • I used to have this phone back in 2016, after my past one bricked itself. It's now the phone my brother uses, and it still functions perfectly. It's really good for its price, nothing out of this world. The camera is fine (waaay better than my past ZTE). My only problem was with the storage, as 8GB wasn't enough for me, but that's a matter of preference. And sometimes it was a bit laggy, but, to be fair, I did use it to edit videos, and let's not forget it has 1GB of RAM. Also, I loved customizing the UI of this phone. It's the only thing I really miss. TLDR: It's good. Good enough.

  • Bought in Decembr 2015 and is still great only problem calls go to voicemail after ringing only twice! No one can help says it is setting by manufacturer

  • I bought it late 2015 and it is still ok in Sep 2017.

  • Received Jan 2016 all ok until recently crashing out when using camera, battery was ok but on restart suddenly x low on juice! Anyone have a solution for this problem? Would appreciate comments. Thanks.

  • I will buy Soon ....!!!! Ha Ha./...Ho Ho...?

  • I got this for like 99USD new in 2015. It's now late 2017 and I am only just getting the need to upgrade. The main reasons being a lack of support for apps and the phone becoming quite slow with the small amount of RAM and the ever increasing memory demand from apps. Fantastic buying at that price point. Does everything you need but nothing more lol.

  • This phone makes me proud of Samsung as a brand. I have been using it since 2015 January but its still in tip top condition.

  • Had a Core Prime for 2.5 years. Still going strong and expect it to for years. Android is a very basic O/S but then the later versions are still basic so it's a matter of degree. Unfortunate about troubles others are having but why would anyone expect a 3-year old model to be the latest and greatest? It's big thing was its very extensive 2G/3G/4G band coverage, features and performance versus price 3 years ago. It's band coverage is still as good as any but other things have moved on Amazed that it's still up for discussion on its merits in 2017. That must be a measure of longevity, surely.

  • Very good phone. No problems.

  • The same thing happened with mine!

  • You are absolutely correct in everything you just said. I have had the exact same issues with mine and I have never cursed at a phone so much in my whole entire life.

  • How fix my phone no showing of 4GLTE

  • pls are u talking about samsung core prime, i want to buy the phone

  • essentially no storage of any type, I had to delete all my apps just to install LINE a few weeks ago. Microphone and Camera are crap, resolution is garbage, and 1gb of ram is useless. I will be burning this phone soon after my upgrade arrives in the mail.

  • this samsung is a high quality of smartphone. it is best samsung.

  • This has been the WORST phone I have ever laid my eyes on! It has ZERO space; I have to delete my cache just to check my email (that was when I could check my email). I don't have many apps but have had to 'Make the cut ' numerous times just to save a picture; ONE picture... It also shuts off and restarts whenever it feels like it. It also stops apps that aren't even running. The phone will momentarily freeze and then a message will pop up that says, "Unfortunately, 'this app' has unexpectedly' stopped'". At which point it freezes anything I'm doing until I hit 'ok'. At which point I always say, "yeah, that is f*$@ing unfortunate!" and hold myself back from throwing the phone, aggressively, into my brick wall... Let it be known, I am a relatively go-by-the-flow person. Or atleast I was until I got this god-foresaken phone... Please, do you self a favor, and DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!

  • Does you phone randomly reset and shut off?

  • I had this phone for 1 year now and this phone is not a good phone it dies on 40% or 30% and it super slow, it clickes on things by it owns self without touching it , exits out of my apps by it self, and when i first got it it was good until about 5 months later it started doing that weird stuff and its so annoying.. DO NOT BUY!!

  • If you have ever had a good phone , don't buy this one.....

  • 3 yrs using this phone and it still working good. love it!

  • I've had mine for almost 2 yrs, same battery. I'm on social media all day, I run the battery down to 10% and then charge it. I also restart it and I use CM Light to clean it from junk, etc. I just wish it was 5.5" now that I've seen bigger. Oh, I move Photos and over 200 books from Kindle to my SD card, I have an 8GB and not nearly full yet. I run it on WiFi rather than data at home as I don't get good reception at my house.

  • It is good kind of phone. I have been use it almost 2 years now

  • use 3g pack !

  • such an amazing phone! Iv been use it for two years now almost 3!! works perfectly fine, the camera is HD the voice the display...all in all just perfect. it only need to be upgraded.

  • does it support otg?

  • I got the phone when it came out in 2014, and it has been highly reliable. It was really powerful back in 2014, of course now it is outdated. But regardless, I had upgraded from a Kyocera Hydro, and it was a huge improvement. Anyone who grew up with dial up will appreciate that this phone is not nearly as slow as people are saying. I can easily use GPS and browse the internet no problem. It does run out of space fairly quickly at only 8 gb of storage. I didn't know it only had 1 gb of RAM, because I can run multiple apps, like photos, facebook, messenger, text messages, phone calling, even games in the background no problem. I've enjoyed this phone, but it may be outdated to consider at this time in 2017.

  • Really Stupid Annoying irritating Slow Phone

  • Ebay, I've bought two of them for a few bucks and have had better longevity than the battery that came with the phone.

  • Yes,i had the same problem too.It turned off at 52%,it was really annoying,and if you dropped from 5 cm,it turned off then too.

  • My phone lasts more than 1 day with regular use

  • Have u found solution? Tried to sing my fiance a happy birthday song took me about 30 tries due to volume cutting off or being low then high. Just left at best one. Galaxy really sucks. If its something in phone?

  • Very slow phone, and when it comes to update , u will delete apps for space

  • You can't fix it. You can't take this phone, or just about any phone, underwater. It's amazing it still works at all.

  • It available in flipcart

  • I need a battery for my core prime ?

  • Maybe the apps your running

  • Maybe the apps your running

  • Great phone for the money. Don't understand people having problems.

  • Thanks. I have seen factory data reset. Hope it's the same thing with factory reset . Now,if I reset it,hope there wouldn't be any regrets and any other implications

  • its battery sucks. It also kicks me out of my apps

  • I've had my phone since summer of 2016. Ever since I took my phone in an underwater case diving with me, the built in mic has been really fuzzy. I can still hear everything fine, when I try to record myself or call someone or voice text I have to yell for any noise to be heard. When I call someone I have to yell at my phone for the other line to hear what I'm saying, I can still hear the other person but they can't hear me. plz tell me whats wrong with my phone and tell me how to fix it cause it's really getting on my nerves.

  • My galaxy core prime has been really crappie with issues such as quick battery, no storage, freezes on apps, restarts on random, a bunch of charging issues and last night it finally died as in wont do anything now.

  • i have had this phone since december 2015 and it keeps turning off at 60%

  • I'm really surprized to read the openions bellow about samsung core prime b coz i'm using it since nov 2015 n it is working perfectly no issue with batery or mamory except a lil bit with camera .more of the people complaning about updates so heres a simple salution for all of u just go in system n off auto updating ,update it only when its needed n its good

  • TERRIBLE battery life!!! It doesn't even last one day, even when I purchased a new battery online.

  • Great phone for the price! I still have it since Nov. 2014 to present with no problems.

  • What could be the problem when the device goes off itself. then it display coloured light in the background?

  • It sucks. Period. Slow. Restarts. Slow again. Even with very few apps installed it will begin to suck. 60% of the memory will be taken away because of updates. Crappy phone.

  • how do u disable proximity sensor on this phone?

  • Factory reset would help..

  • Only g360f is 4g not other models

  • open the thing that looks like a cogwheel where all your setup is. scroll downto the bottom and find "About Device" open it and click "software Updates" and let it update.

  • AKG ear buds, to tell you my honest opinion they sound like the ones of the old days, transistor sound. The ones that came with the Edge 7 are rich in sound, low, middle and high tones. Also you get more volume. For new ear buds I would get the Edge 7 ones as a foundation to make them better.

  • Try doing factory reset.

  • Hey was wondering where u got ph for 25$ pls

  • where is lte (shm smsng)

  • Hi guys. I have been using this phone for a year and a half.. After switching from Mini II this phone worked and still works as a charm. Yes, there are a few freezes etc, but this is an entry-level smartphone so its okay. However i've got 1 problem. When my battery is below 18%, touch screen will start to lag and be unresponsive, its gonna do things on its own. Sometimes, phone dies at 28% and i have to put it on a charger in order to turn it on.

  • This phone is terrible 1. It dies if it's not at 100% 2. This Samsung keyboard notification keeps popping up all the time (even when I turn my phone back on) 3. The battery takes forever to charge 4. IT'S SOO SLOW!! What do I do? This phone used to be awesome thoug

  • Root your android phone

  • Support game for watching video and gift gem

  • How I can upgrade to v5.1 (lolipop)

  • This phone is a budget phone, so expectations shouldn't be set too high. We got it so that my Mom could get an iphone from Costco and get the cash back or discount because it needed to be a new account only and she already had one with Verizon. By adding me to her account, that qualified for the iphone discount and we got this as a cheap one for me. It works fine if you just need a phone, nothing fancy and not much storage space, but it does suffer from some design issues that are likely to make me upgrade. First off, the touch screen is way too sensitive. It is always activating and opening apps just by being in my purse, which can affect battery life, and also has some poorly placed buttons on the side for power and volume that seem to always get in my way whenever I am trying to take a picture or perform certain tasks which are interrupted by my accidentally pressing the power button or volume control just trying to hold the phone. Also I find that the touchiness of the screen has the unfortunate side effect of constantly turning my phone to MUTE causing me to miss calls because I don't hear it ring. I really wish it had a way to attach a wrist strap, but that seems lacking on a lot of phones these days. I sometimes have weird issues with the text messages not coming through when sent, and the signal for calls is often weak, but that is more an issue with my location and Verizon than the phone, I think. The camera could be better, too. I actually carry a sharp Aquos that I have no service on just for taking pictures because that one does a much better job of it. Once or twice I have had it freeze up on me for some unknown reason, but a restart has always put it right again. But it seems quick enough that I don't notice any lag that would cause me to complain, so if you just need a basic phone, it should do well enough. I only paid 25 bucks for it, so I can't really complain.

  • I'm having all of the same issues. This is the worst phone I have ever had. Also probably 5-10 times a day my screen goes black, and none of the buttons do anything, and then the screen will illuminate and show the image of the lock screen only the numbers aren't there. Nothing is there, and it will continue to go black, and then show the lock screen until I pull that battery. It also seems to not send my calls. (Call not sent) error message. What a worthless piece of junk

  • Any one please tell me how i can upgrade it to 5.1.1 lollipop. please help me

  • Go in settings -> scroll down until you see about phone -> and you are there

  • I have been using this Phone for a little over eleven months with no issues. I dont do alot of surfing the net with it. i use it to take pictures and text and talk. Its main use is with WhatsApp. It gets used hours on end with phone there and messaging. It has functioned well for the purpose i have used it for with no issues. i still use the same battery it came with and still get many hours of use. I do let it get down to atleast under 15% before i put it on a charger. Most of the time 5% or under.

  • i have been using this cell phone since last week but i'm not satisfied at all it has storage problem having 4 GB free space but shows that there is no more internal storage in the cell phone.

  • My phone has just died. Thought battery needed to be charged but nothing is happening. Any suggestion?

  • same issue also in my phone. but i faced it only two times. i restarted my phone two-three times, removed memory card, set app preferences back to default.. and it became normal again.

  • My Samsung Galaxy core prime is 4gplus network capability and now running Android 6.0 . Android 6.0 is officially announced for users in India from August 2016.

  • I do not have any pics or video on my phone, because it hanging every time. I deleted all. I get a messge that no place to storage things. I have a 8gb in my phone. What to do?

  • This phone is perfect! it should have 16 GB storage. ;_;

  • Its about. I'm also got tricked by seller with this coreprime name. it;s actually E5

  • mine does not support 4g... ? Only 3G on network band selection.. 😧

  • I m using it for 2year I m over satisfied with still no battery problem...

  • Me and my sister each bought this phone from Walmart approximately two years ago. All I can say is that I'm less than dissatisfied with it, and I know she is too. Let me give a list of problems: dropping calls, random loud beeping noises, freezing, shutting off randomly, charging takes forever and when you take it off the charger the battery drops right away, the battery gets hot as soon as you unlock it, there is very limited storage available, photos fail to save all the time, each time I do a software update it destroys all of my photos (to be more specific, I recently did a software update with my SD card in, and the phone changed all my pictures into solid gray "pictures"), battery life is TERRIBLE, apps fail to open, multimedia messages fail to download (yes, data has been turned on), my sister's phone screen became detached a few days ago (all she did was pick it up), something in the screen underneath is broken and now we have rainbow bubbles under our screen, "Samsung device has stopped working" happens every couple of minutes, as well as "system ui has stopped working," and there are many more problems. Overall, I'd say it's a cheap phone and not to waste your money. There are plenty better options for similar prices.

  • my phone sim network pin blocked

  • My SGCP 5.1 - I've had my phone 1 year, nothing but problems! The memory is 8gbt - the operating system is 3.1 - if you put any apps on the phone cannot handle it - if you need a phone to take the odd photo, make a few calls & texts - like the olden days this phone is fine! It is not a phone for the 21st century - how many times do you have to go back to factory settings! I don't care how cheap it is - if it doesn't work it's not fit for purpose!!! Thank Glob! For European 2 year warranty law!

  • I'm having a problem about Google maps like wase it doesn't co-operate it well......it always saying no GPS showing approximate location can you please help me with this issue please

  • This phone suckss!!! Ive had it ayear ago. The battery is like if its not there. Battery ends up in an hour or two. And the camera says, 'Failed'.

  • its a great phone. its the third year and am stil using it, get a memory card and it will be fine.. i love this fon.

  • It's honestly a crap phone. Battery sucks. Camera sucks. And the storage is a joke. I've only had it for three months and the camera already says "failed". No, I do not drop it, throw it, there is no cracks. It's constantly lagging. It's pretty much what you expect for a 40$ phone.

  • I dont think so . this phone doesn't support 4G

  • its only little disadvantage of this phone ,, only a battery back up. 100% battery finished in four(4) to (5) five hour.. but over all awesome mobile phone..

  • great phone

  • I like this this mobile very much because it support 4G

  • The only problem I have with this phone is the battery. I charge it all night and it has 100% power. Then after ive taken it off charge it drops to 95% straight away. Ive got no apps now, no space for them anyway but the battery drains so fast. If I use the phone for 10 minutes the battery drops to 50% before it starts going all messed up, not responding etc and then it goes off. If you use your phone a lot then this is definitely not the phone for you because 20 minutes of battery time is not good enough no matter how much you pay for it. I've had a look whats using the battery and it says screen 7% chrome 2% android system 1% and cell standby 1% so where is the other 89 % going? Not good enough samsung.

  • my SGCP stepping into 3rd birthday vthout any complaints...

  • jo has this

  • This phone is amazing and it is fast.if your looking for a tough,fast,simple phone,then this is the one for you.

  • i have had this phone for over two years, i could say its worth the buy As it was really cheap but it not perfect... my selfie camera just stopped workinv on its own, the camera quality is good only in light , and it lags alot. and sometimes battery closes when it is at 20 or so, id recommend buying another phone ,but if u want a cheap phone then get it.

  • how to update core prime to lollipop firmware

  • it started off well but now it only holds charge for a couple of hours and will shut off randomly at 40% sometimes it also clicks in random places on the screen. and sometimes the screen doesn't respond at all to me tapping it

  • Mine didn't support 4G until I did a factory reset.

  • It supports 4G.

  • recently i have found one problem, if anyone can make my problem solve, please, do me your favor. the problem is "unfortunately play store/ contract list/ any game/ and some cases some software show me these kinds of problem. if any one make my problem solve, please do.

  • 4g not support

  • Is it 4g suported?

  • no

  • Seems to work smooth for me. Disappointed with front cam. No otg support

  • For every bad review you see here there are thousands of people happy with this phone. For the price point, it is a great phone. Gets "warm" with graphically intense apps and games as expected. Love my CORE!

  • Does it support 4g?

  • Ive had a core prime for a long period. I've found it a great phone, however yesterday the battery ran flat which I never usually let happen. Now when I turn it on I get the core prime android logo,then the optus logo then the Samsung logo then it locks. Its like it won't load. Id appreciate some advice

  • This phone is crap. The battery get very hot fast. I can't play a game are talk long at all. I can't watch a movie. I had a cheap phone that worked better than this one. If anyone ask me I tell them don't buy your brand.

  • Good performance..i have been using core for 1 yr 4 months..till now no hanging pbm..front camera is only avg..back cam is suprb..

  • Less than satisfactory. Have had nothing but problems since day one. Many dropped calls, freezing, screen blackouts, loud beeping noises during calls (annoying!), #pad sticks. Requested and rec'd replacement phone, but same thing. Does not hold a charge. Original charger died after 6 mos. Only good thing is the camera - great pics. Would not recommend.

  • I bought my Galaxy core prime 12 months ago tommorrow, it has been nothing but trouble from day one, I can be in the middle of any operation, eg, phone call, texting or gaming, and it just shuts down of it's own accord. two months ago it was returned to Samsung Espana under warranty, it came back five weeks later, and it still has the same problem, the repair sheet tells me that, they changed the Jack, Battery and Actualization. Tomorrow I shall attempt to get some kind of re fund against a new phone by a different manufacturer. Never again!!!!

  • My phone in not working 4G network how work 4G jio sim

  • I really don't get all of these terribly negative opinions! I'm using one rn, have been for a couple years. For the price I paid at the time (120€) I'm very happy. It runs mostly smoothly, and once you get a good SD card you can install a good number of applications on. It runs several application at time well. Sometimes while using certain applications that put too much stress on it, might crash the app/restore bg to default, but it's really no biggie. Camera takes decent photos. When memory starts being too faulty, I reset it to factory settings and am good to go again! Yes, it's not a top-tier phone. And today just by paying a little more you will find stuff that is much, much better! But I found this guy to be resilent, well balanced and all-around good for someone that, like me, doesn't ask too much from their phones. If I had to change it today I'd go for another though, unless they put this on sale for less than 100€.

  • My son and I both had them my son still does , I loved mine and would still have it over a year later with no problem but I broke it because I used a charger that wasn't meant for it , about to purchase another one.

  • rubbish phone, Samsung forgot to assign a function to the left menu button only the camera is good which takes clear pictures

  • Terrible phone. Best thing about it is the fabulous camera quality. It takes great pictures even with the destroyed screen it has better camera quality that most low end models such as this one.

  • it supports band 40 also..

  • Well, I like phones when they serve their purpose and you don't really notice much. With this phone, all I did was notice. I returned my metropcs alcatel as it was no longer working. my mistake was dropping a cappaccino on it. So, in they give me this Gallaxy Core Prime. Within weeks, I was hearing beeps like I was dialing, only, I wasn't dialing. So, I sent it over to company to get repaired. They gave me another. I could not be heard or hear anyone I called unless on speaker, every person complained about the way I sounded. I operated for months like that. IT shut down, and it froze alot.

  • G360h

  • lcd g360

  • Thanks for your honest review you just helped me from a disasters purchase.

  • my phone 4g network is not working

  • it very good. but today i having problem. stay on safe mode i can't open. stop so how to open pattern.

  • Comes with okay storage that's useless because the automatically downloaded apps take up the majority of space so if you would like to take photos, you're going to need an SD card or it will not store much. The keyboard is buggy, the browser lags (regardless of cleared cache and history), applications often force close, and although the battery was nice at first, my phone battery quickly drains regardless of if I'm using apps or not. The only good thing I can say about this phone is that it's cheap and I bought it on Black Friday so I didn't even pay full price (i don't recommend paying full price since the quality is less than satisfactory). I thought it would run like most Samsung Galaxy phones but quickly realized that Wal-Mart affords even cheaper phones that run a lot better. There are constant low battery messages once your phone reaches 15% so I wouldn't recommend using it, it pretty much stays on the charger. Also, the charger that I purchased with it ended up dying on me after about a week. Would not recommend.

  • Yes

  • Is this phone still used in US? How or where can I find a Statistics (ofcourse freely downloadable) - to know : 1) Which phone model is used largely 2) Which version of OS is used mostly / least and at what percentage. A free website will be very helpful... Thanks in advance,

  • Even for a budget phone, this thing disappoints. It's terribly buggy, sometimes requiring a restart because the screen won't display properly. Not to mention this thing can barely run multiple apps at once, and runs like a snail most of the time. Coupled with the bad camera, bad battery, and poor resolution, I would suggest spending just a bit more to get something that actually does what you want it to.

  • Does core prime supports 4g

  • You go to the folder where the mp3 is stored.. You hold the song file for 2-3 secs. It would give you options of what you wants to do with it..

  • Is Core prime have finger print lock

  • Fast all Samsungs leaves much Junk files and frills on background. Download from Appstore or Galaxyapps the CLEANMASTER (its free and one of best), install it and Apply (Junk files, than Phone boost). You will surprised how much hundreds MB occupied memory. This help extend battery time, usability memory and performance cell phone (I had the same probl.).

  • There's a memory card slot for a reason? Use it !

  • This is by far the worst smart phone I have had over many years. I understand that it is a lower end, cheaper phone and can't expect to have the same features of a more expensive phone. While there are several minor issues, by far the biggest problem is the battery which runs down to 50% charge within about 5 hours and needs recharging by the afternoon. The phone is still relatively new (6 months) and I would expect more, though have just purchased a better Samsung phone.

  • Stop your bloody whinging. This is an excellent phone for the price. If you want all the wonder features then get a Galaxy S series. This phone is not for playing silly games on - its for internet access for information e.g. weather, the news and wiki. Its takes great pics and handles Skype well. Plus its works well in the bush and has an excellent free fm radio which the later galaxy mobiles don't have!

  • I have the exact same problem! I have to carry around my charger and power bank all the time due to unreliable battery life! I've had mine for about a year now

  • i am on my second galaxy prime core phone this year.First phone froze up lost all my contacts and photos{that cant be replaced} second phone just froze on me and all is lost again. Truly this phone should be taken off the shelves even at low price its no deal when it malfunctions, Now is their away i can retrieve my photos and contact list?????

  • lol last time I had one it was straight it didnt mess up or do nothing it was good and I think it was from metro pc's and I got one now and I ordered it online from cricket I hope it don't mess,up if you said,that

  • the battery is so bad! It doesn't last that long, also my phone has just shut down and spaces out. what should I do about this? it just wonk work at all.

  • iam getting negative colours

  • THIS IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!! On my core prime i download 5 apps and it says that i dont have enough storage. Plus, the back of the phone case keeps craxking, since im a clumbsy person. Tbh, if i had a chouce out of this phone or a the first iphone, i'ld probably pick the iphone. Update this peice of junk so that i can actually like this phone.

  • Yes

  • I need help because i have this phone and before i reset it it had vibrate on touch but now that i reset it, i can not find how to turn on this feature

  • I once had this phone (sm-g361h )for 1 year..it is very good phone and fit on its price. For this phone, I'am truly in love with its camera due to high quality picture means you can shoot a photo whether you are not on static condition..it shoot really great eventhough it only had 5mp front and 2mp rear. Camera is truly satisfiying even in night..atleast you should use flash to get a perfect photo. The screen ppi on 213 like that but it doesnt bother me that much except when you're on outdoor..the struggle is real eventhough you max out it brightness..hahaha Some other things I want to complaint is..I can't use speaker 3.5mm jack..when I plug in, the sound that it make is slower and very f*ck*ng can't hear..i dont know why that happen..and secondly my phone had some issue on its screen where it keep clicking by itself..that really piss me off and had a very hard time using whatsapp app..thats all.. Overall this phone for its price perfect for light-med task only. You can play all games you want but for heavy games, it should struggle a little bit. Damn I wish I had this phone again..miss this phone..

  • Thanks for posting your sensible comment as no matter what the budget phone people on here always seem to bitch and you are correct online manufacturers reviews are quite positive towards it I myself have purchased it four months now and it is amazing for the price saying you get what you pay for is usually appropriate but in this case I believe You get a little bit more eh . Thanks again for your post it has lifted my spirits as I was beginning to doubt my own judgement and awaiting the fall but cynics are everywhere eh

  • Not bad phone please everyone stop bitching u get what u pay for the price is ridiculously low so stfu already!!

  • Have this phone for over 1.5 year, bought it cheaply so it's good for me, making apps testing them, some games are working but not newest ones, new android working ok (5.0), battery life it's good, ram is enough for me, display does not have automatic brightness, missing sensors, basically outdated phone but was worth 1 year ago :)

  • Don't buy it. Get a better quality phone. You won't regret it.

  • This is the worst phone ever. Memory is out almost every two to three weeks. Is there a remedy to this?This was my upgrade, my old phone never gave me a memory problem.

  • speaker sucks. lose calls because recipient cannot hear me, not happy with this phone......

  • My battery dies everytime when it is at 60%... it's kinda annoying, because i always have to charge my phone... please help

  • There is an option in settings>more>mobile network> enable 3G,LTE if that's available, however 3G coverage depends on the availability on the area. If you are using a simcard from a different network contact metro pcs and have your phone unlock.

  • I` ve got this Galaxy Core G 360 T 1 but I used security code and when I turned off so that I don`t have to open it every 5 seconds.. because that was the problem if I don`t use for 5 seconds it locks up my screen , so I decided to unluck it from my security code which was a pattern I could only recognize, well It locked up my screen for good when I decided to remove that option from my security .Is there any way I can unlock my screen?.

  • I have Samsung galaxy core prime SM-G360T1 unlocked it. But working only 2G not working 3g. All setting are ok. But i have facing this problem. It is metro pcs phone. So any body help me please.

  • yeah can this SM-G360H be model be updated into lollipop? pliz advise if possible. i have been using this model since the beginning of 2015 not yet any complaint regarding this product. so i want to upgrade if possible.

  • How can i update my core prime G360H to lollipop plz help plz. The phone does not give me update.

  • Am struggling to play music via dvd using a usb cable.

  • My Samsung Galaxy Core Prime model SM-G360V has been a great phone. I use it for everything. It has 4G and it has given me no problems.It doesn't have enough memory to download all the apps I like. Other than that it is a great phone for the price. I added a pin code for security but I was spoiled to the swipe mode to unlock my screen. I couldn't get it back to swipe and couldn't find anyone that knew either. I found out by accident so for those who want to know how to get back to swipe mode here you are. Go to Settings>lockscreen>screenlock Type in your code and it will bring the choice list up. Choose swipe and there you are. You don't have to turn off credentials or download any apps. I hope this will help someone in some way.

  • I have one and it is 4G. It depends on the company you have your phone with or your plan. And you might check out your Sim's card.

  • 360

  • Same here

  • All of the online reviews of the T-Mobile galaxy core prime are very positive, and the core prime is described as a "pretty good phone" for its price. Whether it's on YouTube, Amazon, or websites like this, it's the same. However reviews on the Verizon or Metro-PCS core primes are often negative, with the phone nearly always described as "laggy" and "slow." I know this bc I have been wanting to buy this phone, and I always do thorough research before buying electronic devices. I have T-Mobile, so I dont think I'll have any of the negative problems I see in these reviews. I am starting to wonder if the performance of this galaxy phone depends on ur carrier; based on what I've seen around the net, I really do think my claim is true.

  • all of a sudden when i attempt to talk while in messenger, no one can hear me. whats wrong

  • Model SM-G360T1 has 4G LTE support (T-mobile), I'm looking at the signal icon. If your service provider is 4G capable then this model has it. Also check to see if it's turned on.

  • if you want 4g, you should have the SM-G361, the newer version of the Core Prime.

  • Yeee! Absolutely, it supports any current and futures G's (spot)

  • Do not conect via bloothoot not in my car, Mercedes w204

  • it needs a better GPU. it only goes up to 400MHz and it has issues with processing certain things with crazy interfaces.

  • 4g

  • Guys, stop arguing about this fone having/not-having 4G. It's a 2014 fone already. Also, different markets get different variants of the same fone. A Core Prime in Market-1 might have 4G, & a Core Prime in Market-2, might NOT have 4G.

  • My phone's camera started misbehaving a couple of time before but temporal and now it has gone permanent. When I take a pic, numerous lines appear on the image.please I could really use some help

  • I've had this phone for almost a year and I've had the same freezing and hanging problems as everyone else. Don't know what you've got on yours, but if you've got Facebook, delete it. I uninstalled Facebook last night and my phone is running properly now. For whatever reason this phone hates Facebook and it just may be your problem too. The battery life sucks, the phone heats up, but this thing has survived being thrown against a wall (a few times) and dropped in a freaking bathtub.

  • Is this smartphone 4G compatible?

  • Samsung coreprime music player sound not good in earphone

  • I can use my phone for one minute and it gets so hot it will burn your fingers. I just got this phone in May of 2016 beware

  • This phone starto getting extremely hot while talking on it. While charging, it's to hot to touch. Is this normal

  • yes

  • can i use 4G sim

  • Does the phone support 4G ??

  • After just 3 months the phone froze and would not allow me to even log in with a security code. I ordered a replacement phone which was refurbished and in less than 30 days the phone would not move pass the home screen. I just ordered a replacement phone, but I don't hold out any hope that this phone will be any better. The store from which I purchased it will not allow me to upgrade with a credit for the phone just ordered. Customer service at the store was poor. I had to pay $16 for each of the 2 phones and now I am being required to pay full price for an upgrade. My carrier is metropcs.

  • can i use my tata cdma sim for this phone?

  • ive tryed to factory reset but the phone still hangs frozen wont go past the samsung screen! help what is switching or kies about?

  • The phone is always on stuck. touch screen is not working properly , and still working in android kitkat version.. The network is very slow..

  • They run Lollipop now. They work well as a phone, and as a low end smartphone. Processor is OK. Gets hot rather easily. But it is most definitely a smartphone. Don't go bashing it because it isn't Top-of-the-line Cutting-edge Quad-core Super Ultra Mega Hyper App-cruncher 90,000. It's cheap. If you can get it for cheap, then that's what it's worth. It works. If you want more processing power, get a computer.

  • No

  • this phone is junk. crap processing speed, practically no RAM and still runs KitKat. maybe a good phone for grandma but if you want to do anything besides make calls, get something better. "smartphone" my ass.

  • Can we use jio

  • I've had the Galaxy Core Prime since January. I find it to be a great phone. I did however ad a 64gb sd card on day one and moce all storage and as many apps as possible to the sd card.

  • The phone is ok but counting the fact that it sometimes freezes and the camera is really slow other than that I like it

  • Those people who want to buy this phone plz.. don't buy iT I have worst experience wid this phone sometime it is frezzing when I was playing a game and hanging also plz don't buy it but in this phone the camera is very nice..

  • I honestly haven't experienced any problems with mine. I've had it for over a year with no freezes, crashes, or anything out of the ordinary. Great phone, but the 8 gig doesn't work for me. I can't have more than two apps on it typically before it says I need to open up some space. I do have to delete my search data for Google, clear the cache, and delete text threads somewhat often, but my phone runs smooth. But it really is a starter smartphone compared to others like the iPhones and the other galaxy phones. I'm gonna hopefully be getting a s7 soon. But as someone who is constantly using their phone, I must say, it does its job and it does it well. The life of it depends on the user and how they care for it. Just my advice, restart the phone every three days. It gives it a chance to breathe.

  • Can my samsung galaxy core prime 3G be 4G???

  • This sucks no storage always freezes complete crap

  • My phone just froze the screen, I have tried rebooting it but still doesn't work, what can I do?

  • my phone is updated 2016. how can i go back to 2015?

  • Very nice phone

  • Exactly! I would bleed to death before this phone would unfreeze itself to dial 911. Even since it was brand new it would lag and freeze BAD After an update it was even worse Swype and regular texting is awful. I don't know why this phone sucks so bad even brand new >:/

  • Much better buy J series or On series. Core prime camera is slow in xapturing pics and also selfie xamra is 2mp only. Loud speaker is useless. Touch screen is not well sensitive.

  • i am use samsung core prime 3G handset.can i use jio sim.if i can plz inform what the process.

  • I'm lookin to buy this phone but could someone please tell

  • For about a month and a half now I've been having an issue with Samsung music playing randomly whenever the phone rings or notifications come thru (ex. texts,system notifications, app notifications). Cannot get it to stop. Only had the phone a few months. Removed everything and reset the phone,but not a hard reset. Love the phone otherwise but this is annoying-help! Have too keep on vibrate.

  • Noo bro

  • LTE moved

  • network problem

  • pluses Samsung company my phone is Samsung galaxy Core prime. this phone was no compass what du I'd????????

  • I want to throw it against the wall sometimes, it freezes up, my memory doesn't hold crap if got 1 game and some pictures and its slows the phone down! But u get what u pay for I guess.. 79 dollars worth of Poo! Haha

  • j2

  • Please Someone out there to help me... I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Lite and I need to block one number...I need to block calls and text msgs...Please help I need to do this today...ASAP Thanks

  • I don't get 4g network in core prime

  • Iim having the same problem, how do i get ot so the game diwnloads anyway than? All it says is "this game is not compatible" Where the option to down load it should be, same witt clash of clans.

  • how do you remove sim card

  • It looks great but J2 is much better

  • My wife and I have had these phones for 10 months and haven't had any problems. They are our first "smart" phones and we didn't want to spend a lot to try the format. Facebook, email, messaging, Square and ROKU all work fine. We're on Verizon. Maybe a lot of the problems people are having is the carrier they're using.

  • worst phone. many time will be suffer touch problem . And suffer in hang.

  • how do i find out the model number to my samsung galaxy core prime i need it to order a case off of amazon thanks

  • J2 or Core Prima which one is better?

  • This is the worst phone I've ever had. The 8gb of memory does not last long. This is my second Core Prime in three months. The first one malfunctioned so they sent me this replacement four days ago. Already used up 65% of phone's memory. I have a 32gb SIM card installed, but phone saves everything to the internal memory. That's why I had to send the first one back. The memory was full, and it started shutting down for no reason. When I took it back to the corporate store, they told me that a SIM card is only good for pictures and music. REALLY? If you only use this phone to watch YouTube, then you'll be satisfied. Otherwise, you can probably find a more reliable and cheap used phone on the internet.

  • I am a electronics engg.purchase two mobile phones but both mobile phones camera failure.

  • Phone works perfectly fine. Bought from Walmart about 5 months ago no problems. Gf and I bought 2 at the same time, mine had no speed issues at all and runs every app perfectly fine, whereas gf's was laggy from the get go until I factory reset it. Since then works perfectly. Would recommend a case and a screen protector, spent 20 for both and dropped it numerous times with out it breaking. Even fell out of my car going through the neighborhood and was just fine.

  • It can run Pokemon Go, but the phone lacks a gyroscope to identify its orientation, which means the AR (Augmented Reality) feature in Go will not work. A Prime also only has 1Gb of RAM, whereas Go reccomends a minimum of 2. The game can still be played, though. It just may run slower than you like.

  • I purchased a 2nd prime core galaxy 1 week prior to going on a 2 wk vacation (road trip). Got it all set, upgraded to international and unlimited prior to leaving. 1st night out-London Ontario-phone quit! no serbvice whatsoever! Got to Indiana, called supplier tech support and they wanted my phone back before giving me another one! spend 4 hours at store, purchased another same phone-SIM car was defective in 1st one! Had the phone 1 week, worked fine, maps, etc. Got to just outside Toronto, Ontario-RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC and new phone did the same thing. Made the rest of my 2 week trip without a phone! NOT HAPPY AT ALL!! This phone did the same thing as the 1st and 2nd ones,-3 phones in less than a month! Plan to buy another tomorrow-but I am upgrading to AT&T-SAMSUNG you let me down and almost ruined my vacation! THUMBS DOWN ON YOUR PRODUCT!

  • Have had this phone since June have had nothing but problems, have tried 3 different SIM cards,can only make emergency calls only most of the time as keeps telling me I am out of service area & no network connection wherever I am, absolutely useless.

  • Bought this phone in February 2016. Worked great until three weeks ago and quit making calls on a Friday. Could not wait for a replacement so I purchased new one that lasted 10 days and quit making calls. Returned it for a refund. I work with a man that has this same phone and it did the same thing. They sent them a new SIM card. Obviously it is a manufacturing issue and they should send new SIM cards to all owners. I now have an LG. Jury is out on it.

  • I would like to start with an 8-star review because it works really well facebook and Pokemon go works really well I really like this phone the camera is good and the battery last a long tome this phone is da best phone in the world

  • Om Thakuer I bought this mobile 1 year ago...supperv mobile..no heating problam...good battery backup..total it is a awsm mobile

  • This phone is better than j1. J series will get slow by use

  • For me pokemon go worked i have facebook messenger clash of clans pokemon go stack cm cleaner and security shazam vlc and i dont have any lag

  • Hey,everyone. Please tell me if core prime 4g has snapdargon flaw....... Please help me

  • I hate this phone purchased it from MetroPCS. It's a piece of crap. Can't use facebook, calls drop. When able to make a call the person I'm taking with can't understand me. I been back to MetroPCS 3 times just to be told nothing is wrong with the phone. I've called MetroPCS 2 time just to have a tech walk me through steps to resolve my issues. That didn't work. The only two reasons I got this phone is because I thought Samsung made good products and the MetroPCS salesperson recommended it. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP. I'm going to cut my loss and try LG.

  • it is compatible you just have to download it through Facebook

  • I literally only bought this phone because I was told it could run pokemon go, now this phones saying its not compatible with pokemon go. Biggest slap in the face ever. I immediately hate this phone.

  • i want to buy a phone, but confused between in this two core prime or j1 ace.which is better,please tell me.

  • Barely worth the measly $80 I paid for it. My G1 way back when ran better than this phone. Seriously unless your really hurting for a phone don't buy this. I kinda expected more from a Samsung product.

  • Same problem here, SD card won't work either, Metro told me it was the update on Facebook that's making it not work and their working on it.

  • it dont ask lolipop update since i bought it a one year back

  • Had this phone for a year, the quality is shitier than the one I had before (Galaxy Y Young -lasted for 3 years) After just 6 months of purchase I accidentally dropped my phone around 1 feet high and since then I've had to factory reset twice, loosing all my temporary stuff (luckily I have a habit to backup every month), my SD Card port/driver stopped working, so I'm using just the internal memory....and it overheats like crazy. When the seller had sent it to Samsung which was still under waranty they blamed me for the damage which to be fair its true BUT I don't expect all this for a 1 foot fall. My other phones survived way worse. Tl;dr this phone is crap don't bug it invest in something with more quality

  • 1 1/2 yrs later the phone is freezing up. I can't make calls. For over 100 dollars why is it that phones bearly hold 2 yrs. Really that isn't very old for electronics. I started having problems after 8 months and it has steadily gotten worse.

  • Battery of this phone is perfect pass 2 days easily

  • FMR Memory cleaner is an APP on google play. Run the app, tap "clean". Doing this may lock up or cause your phone to hang. Worst case scenario you will have to take the battery out and put it back in. Power up phone. Run the app and clean again. The RAM in this phone needs to be tempered it seems before it will run optimally. once this is done a few times the "lag" issue is resolved.

  • Have 3 of these phones, all of them facebook fails. Removed and reinstalled, even did factory data reset. I do not have an sd card installed, I was going to try to add one to see if that helps.

  • As this was my first phone, my opinion is yet undecided. However, my new phone, a note 4, will change my view (hopefully)

  • I was on the phone with Samsung for 3 hours they remoted in and did a factory reset... the people trying to help were ery nice but... it did not work...looks like they unloaded a boat load of cheap phones that they have no support or fix for after the latest Software updates... Which I am goign to the Better Business bureau about... I just got this phone 8 months ago and I haven't even had it for a year and its worthless when wanting to run most simple apps. like Facebook... which should be on the phone already in my opinion. I am Steamed... RIP OFF ARTISTS

  • What does FMR Cleaner Mean? Make it simple for those who do not understand...? Are you just saying take the Battery out and put it back in?

  • Mommy s probably still paying for his cell phone! I have had the more expensive phones & the note (looked like I was talking into a shoebox) & I was doing my research when i ran across this site. I love my CP & am looking for a new one.

  • I have been having the same problems with the Facebook app, as a matter of fact it has crashed like 10 times while typing this comment. It almost renders the phone useless with the Facebook app installed. If therected is a solution please post it here, and I will do the same

  • I'm having the same problem. Fb worked fine last night now I've done everything and it still crashes when trying to open. Doesn't make sense

  • If you are not helping keep your comment to yourself... Many people have this "Cheap Phone" and are frustrated and just want a solution for the Glitch that seems to hve happened. Verizon has a fix... Att seems to have something to fix it... It's time Metro PCS gets on board withthis or do not give out phones that are outdate within 6 months otherwises it seems like a money making ploy... meaning you have to upgrade so quickly... Some of us do not have the money for the more expensive phones... So do not judge our frustration...

  • FMR memory cleaner, may lock up on first use, pull battery, run again, phone runs a lot better

  • I've had this Samsung Galaxy Core Prime for only 5 mnths. I'm starting to have problems with downloading the Facebook app. It downloads but is not opening. It constantly unfortunately Facebook has stopped. I don't even have the app.open it's constantly pops up and stops whatever I'm doing. Has anyone else had this problem ? Can so.eine please give me feedback. All T-mobile wants to do is encourage you to purchase a new phone. This socks Samsung needs to take this phone off the market.

  • you have to close each window after use, and exit all apps the right way you can not minimize them you sign out, exit, close ect. add some memory to it that helps. try not run to many apps at the same time and give it a couple of minutes to think. if you want to do alot of work get an os with a quad core.

  • Having the same issue not being able to get on Facebook after the update earlier this weekend, and the damn phone in general is slower than usual... Has anyone heard a resolution to the problem?

  • Yes I have same problem. Your right Facebook will not open after Samsung's software update at the beginning of the month. Tried a force stop for Facebook,an uninstall & reinstall it doesn't work. It keeps draining battery.please let us know if you find a solution. Thank you!

  • Having same problem. Please let me know if you find a solution. Thank you!

  • don't get the cheapest samsung phone offered. get something from the s line or note line. go ahead and get a low end cheap LG phone and tell me if it's any better. get what you pay for.

  • not all samsung phones are bad. I have a note 5 and it's better than anything out there in my opinion. you just happen to have a low end samsung. they retail 150 so yeah. get what you pay for. if you decide to switch to another brand and get their cheapest device, you'll have the same problems. just saying.

  • I'm an owner of a white core prime, I haven't had this phone for a year yet but it acts up a lot! I barely download things and it slows down and glitches. It can't run most apps without crashing. I went in and got the phone reset, but even then it acted up. If you're planning on getting this phone, don't.. It's not so good, there are other phones way better. I'm gonna replace this phone tomorrow, I don't know how i feel about Samsung anymore... I'm going back to LG

  • How to play pokemon go ar on samsung galaxy core prime

  • How do I get the vibration off my lock screen after the lollipop update?

  • Owner of white core prime and I have come to know it is THE MOST indestructible phone you could find, ANYWHERE. I have dropped it countless times from high up and thought it was going to be broken but no. Also not that long ago I accidentally dropped it in my full bathtub. I would have thought the entire phone would have broke but no. Only slightly noticeable fuzzy sound. INDESTRUCTIBLE.

  • Ive had this phone for a year and i have had a lot of problems. Lets start with the camera. after 6 months, my back camera has started acting up. First, it failed to work, unless i restart my phone. then 3 months ago, my front camera started stop working. Then, the battery would die when it reached 12% Upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop was a terrible mistake. Super slow, crashes a lot, and over all, not that great. This was my first time using a samsung phone so my opinion on ALL samsung phones is undecided.

  • I have same probs with core prime I'll never go Samsung again

  • It's been a good phone (my first smartphone) for the price, takes decent photos, and battery life is OK if you don't use it too much. Then when you're ready, you'll have an idea what you might like in an expensive phone.

  • I am a owner of a white samsung galaxy core prime and I was able to download pokemon without any problem

  • Not a bad phone. I think it's the perfect size, takes good pictures, has great sound, and is pretty fast until it gets over-heated, which is pretty constant. Great phone if you're looking mainly to loom up things, text, and call, but not the best for gaming or to do anything that requires a lot of space/energy.

  • What is the cost of changing the display. My one year warranty got over and next day the display was gone. I cannot use my phone any more!

  • this phone has display problem g361h model it hangs I strongly not recommend it.

  • Yes it does

  • how to connections 3G and 4G service in ethiopa

  • Does this phone work with Straight Talk because I have so many dropped calls..I go toForsyth Ga.and loose all connections

  • I don't like this phone..It drop calls and freezes up all the time. I can try to answer and it will not let me. I have reset it, took the battery out and it still messes up.

  • why my galaxy core prime do finsh factory reset after and my phone cant charging wherever change other charger still cant charging and when l do charging on my phone then my phone show not connect charger but my usb already plug in... pls share some tips or sources to me

  • I have this phone and its really okay.But after i received an android notification for an update,the phone refused to reboot again.i ve tried my best to restore it but to no avail.I wonder why android rolled out an update that will render people's phone useless.I am very furious right now.

  • Why can't my core prime download Pokemon go

  • I have this phone and I think that this phone is very good. I have Pokémon GO and it works very well. My rating for this phone is 5.

  • Just reset it.

  • I have this phone and it plays Pokemon GO very well for a cheap phone and uses AR mode also! A but slow but like I said very nice for a cheap phone!

  • Try DU speed booster. Many apps, especially social media like Facebook, run in the background using ram and slowing the phone. It also uses your battery faster. DU battery saver will also help. Both are free, just search for DU and they'll come up.

  • Download Pokemon go from the Samsung games App because it does not let you download it from the Google apps but here it works and does

  • Turn on your GPS that's not the same as your location so you guys know

  • I just got one today and when you update it you can play Pokemon go

  • It's so slow now. Is there any way to see what's making it run slow like on a computer you can see the cpu being used by what

  • I'd gladly pay for one that WON"T do pokemango! Dumbasses wandering the streets not looking where they are going! Darwinism will pick them off soon enough! LOL@

  • It's so slow now. Is there any way to see what's making it run slow like on a computer you can see the cpu being used by what

  • Do not do your updates. It'll eat up your memories due to this phone's storage. Also, this is only a basic model. The battery is running out very fast! Turn off your apps in order to save energy and put it on power save mode.

  • It is cool and all but can you play pokemon go on it ??? PLanning to get one but dont know if it can play pokemon go

  • Same here. It doesn't charge with USB cable when mobile is on. Once I turn off the mobile, it starts charging with USB cable. Experiencing this issue after last update.

  • i have this cellphone and having same problem after update the software as received by message for update. my battery is nor charging still stuck on 53% after 25 Minutes.... please share and advise any solution if any one have it.

  • Hangs / resets constantly. Guessing this phone was designed ONLY for Android 4 systems. Would love to give it 0 stars.

  • Same prob here dude

  • whats wrong with the new update? Last night i got notification of new update from Android and when i install it effect my camera and battery as well.. you take only one shot at a time and for 2nd phone goes shutdown. and battery drains very fast after this update. Any Solution?

  • turn location on...

  • Ya'll got probs? I want to change number of rings before going to voicemail. Just try n do that!

  • Who the Samsung do I contact to find how to change number of rings before going to voice mail? Or is this classified?

  • Not upgrading to lollipop

  • It can play Pokemon Go, but it will not be able to use the augmented reality. It will have to use the animated background. You need a phone with a gyroscope if you want to use the AR.

  • I have the galaxy corr snd downloaded the pokemon go from the website u put but now it says gps location not gound how do i fix this?

  • long term wise no

  • Here is the link. Give it a shot:

  • You can download the .apk from an external link if all else fails. Just enable third party apps in your settings. I do know the hardware is not a problem.

  • Have you installed all updates? I have one of these I bought from Walmart and it has Lolipop installed. It runs Pokemon Go no problem. Does it let you install Pokemon Go?

  • This is honestly a giant piece of crap for a phone. I couldn't even make phone calls without it twitching out and lagging so bad that I would basically have to reboot, and this was without any apps on it aside from what it came with. I would SERIOUSLY consider something else. You cannot play Pokemon Go on it, it just is not capable of processing that much at one time, despite it meeting the specifications otherwise. I used this phone for 8 months. The first week it didn't seem to be too bad, but after that first week I could barely do anything on it. The one up-side to this is that it is pretty indestructible, I dropped it quite a few times without a case (cheap phones don't get cases, IMO). And the battery lasts quite a bit of time. But considering even the basic functions took this phone quite a long time to process (messaging, email, browser, phone calls), it's highly reccomended you avoid.

  • i play pokemon go on this and it sucks so hard, it constantly freezes and i lose pokemon and it overheats like crazy. i almost dont even want to pplay on my phone anymore because of this reason. this phone is a terrible purchase

  • Just bought this phone but it won't let me install pokemon go. It has the minimum 4.4. Any help?

  • this has only 8gb (or 4?) memory, so it's just good for chatting or wassap. if you take lots of photos you'll have to back them up on the cloud or soon it will say it doesn't have enough memory to function...

  • why?

  • what? I just bought it and it says I cant install it.

  • i wondering if this phone is a good straight talk phone to get?

  • is this a really good phone?

  • yes

  • Yes, my brother has this phone and it can play Pokemon Go.

  • yup

  • it should. all the specs meet the requirements. I just bought one for the same reason so let's hope

  • really good phone

  • Yes it will run...I have the phone myself and I have the game.But it does not support the augmented reality.That means you cannot use your camera to catch pokemon.But if you disable the ar,you can still catch pokemon and with the ar disabled you save up a bit more of your battery

  • correct. however, it is unable to display pokemon via your camera, which isnt that big of a deal

  • This is correct what is the Fix

  • The guy at walmart says it will play Pokemon go. is this true? i plan to buy it for that reason.

  • hang phone ever

  • I never head so much travel with any phone before really bad!! I was not getting any regular text messages or phone calls and after hours of talking it was send for repear ...well it came back with ONOTHER FALT it did not apcep the sim card !! After a lot of hours of talking and waysting of time( again) i was send a replacement with the same fall !!!still not have a phone still waiting for yet another replacement... 3 time lack it ....i hope

  • Everyone bitches too much. I've had mine for about a year now, drop it just about everday with out a case and it still works great, Samsung did a good job with this phone. Ppl talking about there phones switching from 3g to whatever ?? It's your service provider, not the phone !!!!

  • 1 year going strong never let me down, id buy again nice size and screen.

  • Purchased this model several months ago through Straight Talk. It worked great for a few weeks. Then it said: "Mobile network not available." I called Straight Talk, after an hour on the phone, they decided the phone was faulty. (This leads to a side rant on Straight Talk who will replace your phone...but they send you an empty box for you to send the broken phone which they will need before they send the new one. Takes about 25 days!) I got my new phone today. Same model. It worked for about 10 minutes. Now it's back to the same error as before. I didn't have trouble with Straight Talk until I purchased this model. LOATH this phone.

  • hai dr's.... can i use cdma sim card in this phone

  • its a good phone overall 64bit great for online games

  • Go to settings then sounds & notifications you'll see it right there..

  • great phone ,no problems.

  • what can i do if anything to gey my keyboard working again so i can text!!

  • How to enable you to see the names of the icons on the home screen in the second row?

  • Someone said,"What did you expect for $79.00? $79.? I paid $149. for my Galaxy Core Prime and theywill not be undersold, right? Anyway it completly froze up after a couple months so Straighttalk in all their wisdom exchanged it, or sent a new phone, stoll have the frozen one. This one does one thing then another. Now out of the blue a message comes up, locks the phone intilbI hit OK, it says,"Unfortunantly TouchWiz Home has stopped." Whats up with this? I dont care if it stops or not, just stop interrupting my phone ok? My e-mail is [email protected] or Russ Turley on Face Book. Thanks

  • The core was garbage. It would not connect unless next to router, turn wifi off and it was slow as shit. Messages constantly failing incoming and outgoing. I ended up smashing the thing for an On5. Waiting to see what surprise this might bring me, already not liking it either as it to downloads slow.

  • i bought a prime core phone from metro and this phone is a piece of shit. it is the worst phone i have ever bought . i have it now still for 7 months ay was still good and they would not take it back; and i will never do it again. it turns off all the time for no reason , ive never had more prob. with any other samsung. i tried to take it back to metro when the warrenty was still good. thats my opinion.

  • Just got my core prime and only problem I have found so far is the phone is really hard to answer. Only problem is a big one.

  • Wow cool phone nice view fast internet Connection...

  • I do not recommend this phone. It lacks the specs i like such as battery life and storage. It is a better choice to buy a more expensive phone.

  • Hi I Have A Friend Who Has A Samsung core Prime and His phone Is Broken He Lost All his Friends Number And His Girlfriend Number

  • Hi I Have A Friend who Has The Samsung Galaxy Core prime. and The phone Just Broked. the Phone Was not Dropped Or Cracked. My Friend Just Showed Me The Phone On Video Chat. that the phone Was not Cracked. Can you Guys Help

  • Just purchased the Samsung Galaxy prime core a few weeks ago and still catching hell daily trying to get it to work properly! !!!!!!!!!!

  • Tell Me which one to Choose: SM-361F LTE or SM-361H Dual? I Loved this phone but it was recently stolen and now i am buying a new one so please help me choose, Thanks =)

  • text don't always go out when you press send. it just spins. the phone rings and sometimes the phone will not allow you to answer it. it malfunctions and sticks all the time. I hate it. some times calls will not go out. it simply saids call not sent. wtf. I'm in the house sitting in the same chair I always make calls from. this phone is hunted and bull shit. I have to buy another phone and I bought this name brand phone my first name brand, because I wanted t stop buying crappy phones and this one is the worse phone I have ever had. galaxy core prime sucks d38k bro

  • I hated it too. It shuts down for no reason several times. Can't have alot if photos and can have only a few apps. Doesn't have a lot of storage or space. It's slow. It gets newer apps along time after iPhone I totally recommend iphone. Don't buy this phone. Waste if money and time

  • well if you don't charge your phone completely when you buy then let it die completely then charge it completely again then let it die again like 3 or 4 times it's called training the battery

  • Wi-fi not connect my phone sm-g360h

  • Wi-fi not connect my phone samsung SM-G360H

  • check your developer settings

  • yes top left corner

  • I bought this phone at the beginning of April, and it is fried. I went to best buy where I bought it and there was nothing they could do because they in longer old sprint prepaid. So I had to buy another phone. Ugh Liz

  • Surely you also think the Cadillacs and Mercedes are better than the Toyota? Never!!

  • I got big fingers and Text just fine!! try a different keyboard.

  • You guys must have fakes, or dn't know how to use your phones. Best one I've had little pocket rocket and runs smoove!

  • This phone is pointless. It doesn't have much storage even with an SD card. Its slow and doesn't stay charged. I've had this phone for 4 months and I really can't do much with it. I usually like Samsung but not this one.

  • my question about this phone is there a LED battery lights when you charging your phone or not

  • Pros: cheap lightweight user friendly Cons: battery is horrible battery % goes down faster then ANY phone I ever had! Even when it's plugged in....buttons are small which make it hard to text and I got small fingers (size 5 ring size wwdding band )

  • Try re-downloading the app. This worked for me saving profiles on whatsapp

  • It really sucks I hate the Touch Screen. Its worst...

  • this phone SUCKS. and samsung knows it. i was on line with support rep for over hour half and even she couldnt help with the issues, eventually she gave up.. its junk

  • this phone is goooooooood!!!!^_^ good

  • Hi! You need to Know More of Your Samsung Galaxy Core Prime.You need to Take Care of it.You need to Find the Reason of the Problem. Sometimes Your Phone is Fault.but Sometimes Your phone is Not Fault. Sometimes Your the Reason of the Problem of your Phone.

  • Hi People! I am Using Samsung Galaxy Core Prime From 2 years.It Do Well. The Battery is Very Good, 2000mAh. It Longs to Drain. Good Performance Even Camera,Apps Etc... But My Problem is The Screen Resolution.i think its Not AMOLED Display.but It's Really Good Samsung Phone.

  • This Phone is really good.I am using this phone before 1year.camera quality is also good and led flash is also good in sm g360 i have no felling any problem in this phone.even i am also using core prime

  • This gadget works great since it allows most of the applications to run.

  • Low price and high capacity :);) I am satisfied

  • I dont know what you guys are complaining about. This phone is amazing i use this as my daily driver. Only complaint is Camera, heavy gaming, and this phone should have android 6.0 but anyway this phone is awesome

  • How long is the battery life with intense use?

  • I thought this is a nibble phone but am disappointed. losing network quite often and instead of connecting on 3G, it's connecting on EDGE which is extremely slow. Absolutely disappointed with this kind of phone, Which is not less than 3 days since time of purchase

  • this phone is really good,but these days its not saving my friends watsapp profile,if i tried to save it.i dunno the reason .need help

  • Do you know how to make it 360H

  • What did you expect for a $79 phone? Be realistic. It is marketed at Wal-Mart as a basic smart phone. I had to buy one in a pinch because I lost my Galaxy S4 and was away from home. It is a big downgrade from that phone but the S4 at Wal-Mart was $499 I think,big difference in price. What were your expectations for a $79 phone?

  • This phone is the most worst phone I have ever gotten it dials people without me doing anything it will not let me answer it stops working completely and shuts down it keeps telling me I have no storage space I keep having to factory reset it. I am very very displeased with this phone it is not worth its money

  • where is a "do not disturb" button.....this phone usually don't ring for me....everyone says it's in the settings.....WHERE???? WHY WON'T THE DAMN THING RING INSTEAD OF GOING DIRECT TO VOICE MAIL"??? I HATE IT

  • looking for the hotspot removal fix for straight talk core primes SM-S820l

  • I like really this phone n it works very pretty fine also it's long durable battery to keep u long enough on downloads, nice screen even iam upgraded to android lollipop v5.1.1, no complain guys, its what ur money it's worth for.

  • no to must complains samsung core prime cell phone i order one but i cancell the phone to day

  • phone worked great until I downloaded apps. I purchased a sim card, and phone has a terrible time recognizing apps moved to sim card. Also the phone gets extremely hot, runs slowly, and shuts down on its own. Phone is garbage. Very disappointed in my purchase.

  • I love this phone.

  • I had 360H, I've been using it heavily for about 10months, still its performance is quite good. (from Bangladesh)

  • My phone shut down, now msg at top left in red says: could not do normal boot Then in white: ddi : mmc_sm6368p Current binary Samsung official System status custom Reactivation lock. Km.

  • SUPERB phone not jst ltl hanging and feather touch screen but btr den dis J2 AND J7

  • nice phone

  • my phone name SM 360-V, how to open line for smart sim?

  • Why, a gay man wouldn't understand how to use it?? Lololol what an idiotic comment

  • Really is a good phone - no issues. Once you've updated to Kit Kat it works really well. I've used it for 12 months and Had some issues when it was on older software (Pre KitKat) but none since updating. Good camera, Good battery. Dont' do a Lollipop update - it really buggers with the performance.

  • Well where to start. YES THERE ARE PROBLEMS...dometimes it won't dial, or it calls people all the time..ex at work my phone in my pocket i could hear my phone ringing and itbwas through speaker phone so i reached in closed all apps tured on lick screen put back I'm my back pocket and it did the same thing for over n hour. After the first call the screen lock was on and screen was asleep so I know my butt wasnt unlocking and dialing. List of problems: 1wk of owning it i had to do .....2 factory resets Baught 3 new memory cards all .....after a few days .....it says they are broke Not onebcustomerbservice/tech ..... knows how to fix it but they tell me i have to f****** reset my phone again or theres nothing more they can do....as if I don't know what I'm talki ng about...... Can't send or get anything other than regular text no attachments it's just says converting to multimedia and thinks and thinks....little blue swirly thing in corner of message. texting ALWAYS PUTS DIFFERENT LETTERS than what I've pushed...does it even if I'm super slower and putting way to much effort into texting. Screen does stick or is delayed Changes my contacts (deletes) .....constantly Settings change without ... me changing them Yesterday it stop giving me ....my 3g network could even ....open the settings to ....maually connect to a WiFi ....signal. I tried to return it the first week after doing resets but to tmobile said they wouldn't return my money or give me a replacement without me having to pay more money...it's not like I'm on a contract I pay them $40 monthly of which I'm not able to use with the phone they sold me. Yes good buy but don't depend on it cause let me tell you get your leg cut off and you will bleed out before this phone will let you contact anyone for help.... >:( I have owned this phone four months, never dropped it nothing.

  • SM-G360T (T-Mobile / Wal-Mart Family Mobile) I just "upgraded" from an Alcatel One Touch.. I gained 4mb memory but here's what I lost: √ No FM Radio (Even though specs say it has one) √ No Compass √ No OTG support (can't connect USB Mouse, Keyboard or Thumb drive) √ No Wifi Connection Manager (can't manage/modify WIFI networks unless in range) √ No LED Status Indicator • I find the keyboard less accurate and receptive as other Android's I've owned. (no screen cover installed yet) • Extra Samsung Bloatware on top of the Carrier's BS. Basically, it's on par with most of Samsung's entry level Electronics; whether it be a phone, TV, or refrigerator... It's a polished turd.

  • my mobile model number is sm-G360H, why I am not getting any lollipop update, ca anyone explain? please...

  • I am on my third replacement phone. Two refurbished one brand new and they all have the same problems. you touch the screen and it sticks for a good three to five seconds before it goes. Sometimes I pick up the phone and it's on a screen I never opened. Working with a gps is worse. You never get directions on time. Don't waste your money. You get what you pay for. Apparently, this expensive phone is a "cheap" price. Shame.

  • How to update?

  • How to update the android version to lollipop?

  • The best phone ever used, i recommend to everyone that wants a long battery life and great optimization.

  • The phone is very useful and good. It has a function called "Do Not Disturb". It is like a silent mode. I recommend you to buy this phone .

  • People likes to complain for no reason. This phone performs extremely well, very reliable, works well with all the programs and has a better than expected rear camera; in fact I think the camera is better than my Panasonic ZS40S camera with Leica lens (except that it does not have zoom and all the extra features). Slim, light, long battery life, really perfect for a straight man !

  • Value for Money. Good Battery Back-up

  • I have one and it works fine. It's runs good on the new firmware and all. You looking to buy?

  • this type of phone sucks because it gets hot all the time and then out of nowhere it will turn off and will also freeze I recommend u to not buy this phone by any chance sucks really bad I prefer an iPhone but too poor to buy it.

  • I hate this phone, my phone gets hot all time , my internet never really connects with it, the speed is horrible , now I'm stuck, do not buy this phone.

  • My friend also has the same problem His is t-mobile

  • I am using this phone wth android version 5.1.1 but it cannot accept the simcard, device as been locked

  • Hey guys, I wanna buy a 8-10 month used Galaxy Core prime. Has it any network issue while talking or in standby mode. And any bug after updating to Lollipop?

  • Works fairly good in all respects but 1. Touch screen does not work most of the time with fingertip. Have to carry a stylus everywhere to get the touchscreen to work. A real headache!

  • Maybe your handset is fake or poor specs insife it

  • Does s6 earphones supports in core prime 360H?

  • I have used samsung core prime for 1 year is is best phone all is well but it has not (compass sensor) .

  • now i am useing this mobile with android version 4.4.4 i need to upgrade it to latest version but i try to do that.it says i have upgrade my mobile to latest update? could you help me to update this mobile phone

  • I used this phone past 1 year , I have not face any problem with it , better camera in this price range , stylish look and power saving mode made its more effective , in 7000Rs price range this phone better then other.....

  • Hahahah!!! Same running and its super responsive!!

  • Hoping for Marshmallow update..has all specs to handle it......Running Lollipop atm.

  • Dude im using it right now and it works fine. Its either your wifi or you watch too much porn on it.

  • In have this phone and I call it my dial up computer version of a phone lol. I don't like it one bit since I bought it. Its slow freezes pictures are not that great and after 2 months I couldn't download or play YouTube or Pandora. Well taken care of just some people have a good phone some don't.

  • Is core prime better than j2 on camera perfomance gaming performance in games such as coc or modern combat 5

  • I'm really disappointed! Camera quality is grainy, and the new update got rid of the flashlight shortcut! It can't even support SkyTracker!

  • Which is better core prime or iphone 5s

  • JB HI FI was so helpful , I could not work my touch phone and did not understand what to do as it did not come with instructions on how to use it thanks to JB HI Fi I din not throw it out the window, it should have user instructions.

  • Get Next screen lock application from google play store..

  • core prime or xperia sp

  • I purchased this phone and found it to be everything I needed. No problems with it at all, I think people who have these problems have no idea what they are doing!

  • This phone is junk. Absolute trash. Nothing but problems straight out of the box. Lagging. Freezing. Overheating. Kicking you off apps mid sentence. Junk. Don't buy one.

  • Ive had mine for the last 2 years and sometimes the back camera wouldnt work or the keyboard and then yesterday I was in the shower and it died and when it was charged again, all my photos and contacts were gone and it was all restarted and now i cant go into any of my apps because its like its frozen but im able to press the "next" button when it says what language to chose but then it goes back to the same page.....?? Deeply confused,i don't recommend this phone,sorry

  • Yeah, learn how to use a phone

  • Speak English, please

  • why can

  • my Samsung core prime sm-g360h is having 32gb Rom pls y?

  • i just got a prime, guess i just dont understand it, it takes off on a wild goose chase and i cant get back to where i was. last night it wouldnt let me do any thing but buy security. does anyone know how to get it out of that mode....................THANKS------lektron

  • Soopet mobile... never hang... soopr battrty capacity...

  • Even if I use a pattern screen lock on this phone it unlocks itself when a sms is received. This becomes a real hassle when the phone is in my pocket as it plays havoc and finally I have to restart the phone. Could someone tell me how overcome this problem. Some people say this problem exists on most Samsung phones.

  • Phones get hot when two many programs are running . Or when there Is spyware on it. Turn the phone off when charging will help too.

  • Is Core Prime better than Xperia e3?

  • It Is Not 16m Colors

  • Mine overheats a LOT and is VERY slow and laggy. Its a great basic phone, but more than a couple of extra apps makes it almost impossible to use. The battery life is not all that great either. My suggestion, its a great starter phone, probably not a bad idea to buy a mini sd card when you purchase the phone so you dont get slow laggy performance like this

  • this phone its not good even you cant connect to internet

  • Superbbb phone trust me take it! Enjoy ur life

  • So, what phone do you have now ?.... This is the slowest piece of crap for a phone I've ever owned. But, I gotta say for the price.... I'm not that all disappointed.

  • That shouldn't be the case. I suggest you have it checked.

  • when lolipop come?

  • Save your money, buy core prime, get use to it, you can buy your dream phone later on when the price drop. People changes phone every 2-3 years so thinks and always buy phones at a bargain price to give value for your money.

  • Does any Core user have a problem with overheating. After a few minutes of making a call the phone gets very hot. Is this phone safe to use. I never use it while it's charging. I am very worried about this

  • I think j2 is better because in j2 it is large than it and its processor and android system also very good.

  • why core prime is better than j2?

  • I prefer you to go for galaxy core prime. Trust me you will love it

  • Which is better core prime or j2

  • Just bought this and wow! For this price range this is the best I've ever seen!! Smooth and great features nice job Samsung.

  • what the hell !! some people said core prime is very good,some people said very bad.now i cant buy mobile phone.what is the good phone J2 or core prime? j2 has Amoled screen,USB otg,4.7 display but some people say it hang.

  • This phone is absolutely a disgrace. At that price range I was expecting so much better but I just got dissapointment. The battery life was fine for few months then after few months the phone will not hold it's charge. The screen is shockingly bad. When outside I am trying to phone someone I can hardly see the phone and even when the brightness is up fully the phone still is hard to see. The sound from this phone is a disgrace. I couldn't listen to my songs as the volume is just too low and it is the same when trying to talk to someone. I cannot believe that Samsung would put this phone out there when it is clearly meant to get replaced after 3 months. I have never seen as much of a bad phone as this one and I have been through bad phones but this is by far the worst. I will not recommend this phone to anyone as this phone is not even average it is sublimely an absolute trash of a phone. I would rate this phone 0/100 as it is sublimely trash.

  • I had the same problem a matter of hours after buying the phone. I did my research and ended up Downloading 360 security off the app store, once i downloaded "360 security" all my junk files got deleted, about 1.3gb of storage opened up and my phone was instantly significantly faster, i still regularly use the app to boost my device. Hope this helps

  • suppr mobile......i have 45 extra other non company apps and plus 32 company apps no problem no hanging reason awesome,mobile but it dont give update to lollipop version pls any suggestions?

  • Im using a dual sim core prime. after 2-3 hours both networks are going blank for 2-3 minutes and simcard manager menu pop up. anyone have solution for this issue. thanks

  • I like samsung phone . ..when i buy samsung gallaxy core prime .some days go i know this phone battery power amazing........super hands set👌👌👌&#­128076;

  • Opposite here! runs smooth..and apps never crash maybe get better Apps.!

  • Use Microsoft lock screen for flashlight.

  • Samsung (or my carrier) kinda dumbed down the OS on this one. A lot of features are gone, like flashlight shortcut in the notification menu. It doesn't even have a built in compass! Other than that its okay i guess.

  • I have used AppMgr III (App 2 SD). It worked pretty well but not all apps can be moved to the SD. There are a lot of apps that will do this, you will have to search for one that is compatible with your device by searching the play store for move app to sd card

  • Hi guys i have galaxy core prime g360h .... but version is 4.4.4 (kitkat) ..... why (lolipop) didn't come until now Gsmarena say ... upgrade to lolipop :(

  • go to widget, touch and hold every widget to see if there any torch light in it or not

  • Lee, if I buy this Samsong Galaxy Core Prime and I don’t intend to have games, must I still add a 32-gb sd card and also download an app in order for it to work better? You say the pic quality “is not bad but you have a camera” so....isn’t it burdensome to carry both this gadget AND a camera? Thank you for your prompt response. :)

  • Charlie, to which Samson Galaxy Core Prime do you refer? I want to buy one but know nothing about them. At a TMobile store someone recommended me a "Core Prime for $29 for the phone and $40 Plan". He didn't specify any additional names like S7, etc. Could you recommend one for me? Thanks so much for any ideas!

  • This phone is terrible. I have less than the average number of apps and phone is already 2/3 full and running sooo slow. Comes loaded with a bunch of junk you dont need and cant remove. The speed was never 4G. Apps freeze constantly or shut down. The screen and camera quality are abysmal. The touch barely registers in the corners of the screen. This is no great deal, you get exactly what you pay for here.

  • search in https:// play.google.com

  • Just install another country Rom with lollipop easy

  • He hot? lol..it's ok..had it a year now all ok..no blow ups.

  • hi you said you downloaded an app to move stuff to sd card could u tell me what download it is please.

  • I did bought it but I don't know where I can get a torch anyone can help on that.

  • It is a great phone I recommend it to anybody

  • Its not a 4g set...

  • of course, you need to spare at least 500mb of free space in the internal memory for it to function without getting stuck in the process

  • Core prime keeps freezing

  • because that's how they come from the factory. the people at the shops don't bother upgrading hundreds of phones.

  • not all update is an upgrade, sometimes it can cause as a downgrade ha ha ha

  • not a bad phone after all compares to grand prime and Lenovo A6000. best phone at the price.

  • Why does it ends up on version 4.4.4 here in the philippines?

  • Hahaha

  • Hi all, After update to OS 5.0.1, viber not working property. Namely, after 2-3 hours of non usage I can not receive messages nor viber incoming calls, i.e. the viber services are disappearing from runing processes. After starting the viber again everything is going normal for the next 2-3 hours... Any solution or suggest would be appreciable. Thanks in advance.

  • My husband just bought a Samsung Core Prime 8 days ago and today the battery in the phone blew up in his pocket. Thank god he is okay but the phone is toast. Be careful people.

  • . .my samsung core prime,hs log problem..any solutions?

  • 3 options. leave it as is, do a full system wipe, or root it. but be warned. I am currently trying to fix a software brick due to lack of study before I tried to root mine.

  • bad working

  • my phone right i happy

  • i think amazing

  • my phone is running very slow any surgestings

  • I like this device a lot...I installed a 32gb sd card and have all my game data go there instead of the internal memory and that keeps it moving fast and smooth. I just downloaded an app that lets me move my files to the sd card.The picture quality is not bad but then I have a camera for that purpose. I have no complaints on this device and would recommend it for purchase...

  • yes !!! its fast and good internet surfing !!!!

  • i personally dont like this phone at all. its just very slow and has limited space. constetly having to restart this phone and sometimes it will do so just on its own. If you want a phone with a good camera then this is not the phone for you. such a down grade from my last phone. uhhh hate it!!!

  • it really a good phone being for while now no problems.

  • Is it 4G Supported Mobile ?

  • when using the keyboard in text messaging, it often freezes and types the word in multiple times, have restarted phone multiple times it continues to act this way.

  • i suggest you to go for it.. because i am useing hardly for 15 months i am not even faced single problem

  • I am using samsung core prime..last one year...Good phone..for application n gaming....

  • SS

  • I got the Core Prime for Christmas. It's a nice phone, except it's got limited memory and most apps can't be moved to sd card. I've had to uninstall most of my apps. Other than that, I like it.

  • Why???

  • Daa phone how good or bad

  • updatte not available lolipopp

  • This phone is a worthless piece of junk! It's SLOW, can't download videos and can't even handle updates! Samsung was no help, told me I had added too many apps.........garbage!

  • hoe can i root phone without pc

  • I have had this phone for a few months. I love it. The only problem I have had is the battery life. It dies in about 2 hours. I like the speed of the device and the quality display for the cheap price. I would definelty recommend it.

  • i purchase core prime before 1 year. as on 12-2-2015. after complete one year my mobile have create Network problem. the core prime is not success mobile. so pls my suggestion is about core prime is not good mobile phone.

  • Please go back to dumb phone!

  • You're soo right.This phone freezes,takes forever to load,you need to keep updating.Its crapish.

  • The battery and cover hard to open and remove.

  • This phone is great i wouldnt listen to bad reviews it seems every one has a problem with something or is not satisfied.the pics are great and honestly who doesnt touch up pics with another app. No cameta is perfect. And its a convenient size not bulky like others of ive not had one problem with this phone. I guess im not a complainer. This phone is great and for the price the best.

  • it is a disgrace can't even talk about it

  • Is it really 4G?

  • it's very beautiful with great features I love it.. surely I would recommend it but sometimes the network is very slow..

  • Would anyone recommend Samsung Galaxy Core Prime phone as a deal? Hey Joe can u talk anyone to how to use it, if I was to keep or should I throw it away. Ha ha! Thxs. Yall!

  • God when people learn, its not phone telling you its some crazy App you put on there

  • Lol..Just use a keyboard like touchpal pops space in there for you.

  • Mine has Lollypop, if you haven't got it just install a firmware with it easy, using flash tool.

  • Sorry never released lollipop

  • Your mobile model sm-g360h/ds

  • This phone is a good price but it is very laggy and slow, and there's not a lot of memory, I would not recommend this phone to someone

  • I recommend u stick to a landline hahaha

  • I have this phone and u got it for $80. For that really low price, it works pretty good. I've had it for 7 months and it lags a lot when you're downloading an app and if you have too many apps running in the background. Definitely not an ideal phone, but it does its job most of the time.

  • Used a year. And sim slot 2 is not working. But its good and im happy with it. Also fast too, and no overheat problem for me. The touchwiz launcher that is considred a bloatware is faster than all the other launcher i tried. Battery is ok too. I like it.

  • dual SIm is not working well.. others things are good,

  • I detest this phone. Since I've had it it tells me I've been hacked or the battery is hacked or iu have a virus and I need to get this app or that app I've installed 5 differs t apps trying to resolve this stupid problem still same shut phone starts high pitch beeping at me and flashing like I've done something wrong. I've owned the Galaxy S3 @ S5 IN the past and never had these issues what a hunk of garbage.I've come very close to smashing this P.O.S with a hammer it makes me so angry, but then I would still be out of the money I spent and no phone. Boo shame on you for making this phone

  • Used a year. And sim slot 2 is not working. But its good and im happy with it. Also fast too, and no overheat problem for me. The touchwiz launcher that is considred a bloatware is faster than all the other launcher i tried. Battery is ok too. I like it.

  • Custom binary blocked by FRP lock. What does this mean? Can anyone help? I can't on the phone.

  • I really liked this phone. Good camera, quite fast, good battery life, good sound quality, good size not heavy. I got this exactly one year ago give or take a few days and its pretty much broken so its not a forever phone but is very good

  • Download TouchPal keyboard puts space Auto in there for you

  • Maybe the app needs an update if it hangs, do you hold down the left key close apps regular?...I find if i do that runs smooth, you don't need 20 Apps open at once.

  • What O/s Version you running I'm on 5.1 it's a great phone no hassles here.

  • Lucille Ball would have love this phone. It freezes over a dozens times per day, it opens apps just by looking at it, it freezes when when u make wattsapp calls. The manufacturer should recall this piece of junk ASAP. It would have looked really good in James Bond movie over 30 years ago. I am sick of it.

  • This is the worst phone I've ever owned. Countless software glitches and it's sluggish as all hell. The touch screen is uber unresponsive quite often. I've had two of these phones, all the same crap. I broke the first one because it pissed me the fuck off. Do NOT buy this phone if you have ever owned an s3 or higher. Before any of you tell me to download a cache cleaner or Task Killer, I have done that on all of my phones and this phone is still a retarded piece of crap.

  • Just hit the longest button on the keypad. Its at the bottom center

  • Really good phone for the price. I have been using Samsung Galaxy Core Prime with Dual-SIM (SM-G360H) since April 2015. I am really happy with dual-sim not having to carry two phones. This phone replaces a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and a Samsung Galaxy Trend Lite and before that I had a old iPhone. Positive: It works as it should except for two things. Negative: 1. minor, If I start the phone in an area without reception then Internet access does not work when I get into reception (town) again. Needs restart. Negative: 2. Major. This might be me but often I don't hear other people good if they have dark voices or if they are holding their phone to far away from their mouth. I compared again with my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and that one is better.

  • Samsung galaxy core prime mobile is having severe hanging problem and there is no voice clarity, i have visited Samsung service centre 2 to 3 times but no solution has came till now and when i tried to sell this mobile no one is ready to give e more than 1800/-rs for handset that i purchased for Rs 9900/- so next time i will not purchase and never recomend to buy Samsung mobile because they are not selling quality product.

  • What a waste, this phone does not support OTG. Not sure how a smart phone in this day and age does not come standard with usb support.

  • i need help i threw my phone and it the turn on button and now its glichen out

  • go to the app itself from your settings. click on the app in question the click move to SD card. It will then say "moving". and it will move the app to the SD card.

  • I love my Samsung galaxy core prime, it's fast - camera very good - battery not bad - summery it's ok I not regret!

  • I replaced a Trac Phone with this model. What a mistake. The performance is awful compared with the cheap phone I had before. The call quality on bluetooth is awful and barely understandable. The touchscreen is numb, texting is a chore and the voice to text barely works. Looks like I'm stuck with this piece of junk for the duration of my contract.

  • this is a fantastic phone of low cost... some people say this is a worst phone but i think this may be production mistake. I've been using it since last 7months but haven't face any problem... realy it's superb...

  • Hey guys I love this phone, everything is great. The camera, display and all are fine. GPS is also quite impressive. Fine processor, phone is fast. The only problems I have is in the touch screen, sometimes it is not responsive. The next downfall is the network problem. My phone doesn't get catch enough signals and the dual sim feature is also quite a headache

I can hear the other person but they can't hear me and I've got my own business and lost a couple clients due to this issue. It jumps from screen to screen when I'm texting and it's very frustrating and I'm not sure how to fix it so I'm looking into a new dif Samsung cuz Samsung is by far my favorite in phones.

  • Hay where to find the acces point name {apn} on this phone

  • Lose the network 2-5 times everyday, lose my contacts

  • The keyboard problem can be fixed easy by just "Clearing Data" of your "Samsung Keyboard" in "App Manager" in "All" section and then the error of the keyboard will be fixed. If wasn't still fixed so you might clear the data of the app which have the keyboard problem. If the problem still remains you could clear data of your Home Screen from "All" tap in "App Manager" since it can help sometimes. If not after trying all these steps you would better factory reset your phone and everything will back to normal except your data which has been wiped during factory reset ;)

  • Galaxy core prime is the best

  • Galaxy core prime is very nice mid range android phone. I have this phone for 3 months now and I'm totally in love with it. Descent specs and really nice for playing good graphics game such as MC5 and asphalt 8! I recommend it its like a cheaper version for the s6 :)

  • If it wakes you up at night, either turn off your phone, or put it on mute, than turn it over. That's simple science! Besides, if you don't want certain notifications to pop up, then drag the app from Apps and put it on App Info. Than tap the box that says Notifications

  • Galaxy phones for life 😃

  • I have this good phone almost year and it's working perfect 👌

  • What frequency does your router use? I've had issues with phones not being able to connect to a 5 ghz but no issues on a 2.4 ghz

  • My phone is about 3 mos old. Yesterday, the screen froze up and I had to remove and reinstall the battery to allow for a reboot. After reinstalling the battery the keyboard failed to display for me to even be able to type in my pin. I have restarted it, powered it off and removed the battery numerous times and I still have no keyboard display. My phone is thus completely unusable at this point. Extremely frustrated!!

  • hello friend's please tell me which phone should i buy galaxy core prime or xiaomi redmi 2, which is the great performance?

  • I had this phone since October 2015 bought it at Walmart for straight talk its a great phone I even dropped it a hundred times no broken screen phone is sturdy and runs great.

  • I think you got a fake :( Mine is super easy I use google keyboard.

  • I have had my phone less than a week.. My camera doesnt work.. The phone is laggy and i have to keep restarting it.. Super dissapointed 😢 Even typing is difficult..

  • hello ur using single sim or dual sim? if u use dual sim go to setting and change the select simcard management then u have change wich ur using data network in sim, then swich of ur phone it will work,

  • Like My old Samsung Mini, nice feel, people who comment negatively don't know how to use a smart phone. I give 9/10 for rating smooth experience.

  • Says i have latest 4.4.4 :( I want 5 anyway to get 5 or will i stuff up software?. Samsung need to update all to 5 so we are happy campers. I need downtime or i get notifications at night and it wakes me i need my beauty sleep.

Very easy to hold one hand and text , i don't like this big phablets now , this is perfect size highly recommend Samsung is the best in phones.

  • any one tell update rate of samsung core prime

  • My mobile data icon switched on but data not working, please help me fast.

  • You Don't Have Music Player On Core Prime And You Don't Receive Headsets In His Box.

  • How can I connect my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime to a password protected Router? I am using a Netgear R7000 router. I have tried everything even using the "pin" option and also the PWS option. None will work.

  • I need help!i have back up my phone when i switched on, it asking goggles password when i put it not working! !!wat to do?

  • My battery good also, maybe ppl buy fake :(. I have 2 batteries hot swap, I love nice screen quality of this phone.

  • Like right now my battery is at 75 % and I've been on Facebook and internet texting a couple calls and it's been going about 17 hours

  • I've had mine for about a week and haven't had any issues. The first thing I do when I get a new phone is download a good antivirus app. I've only had to charge it two times in the week I've had it so the battery is pretty good. Never had it heat up on me either maybe the Walmart you got them from is selling cheap ones

  • Use another Messaging App lots out there I dont have such an issue. I tried What's App and no the green Mic Button is fine, maybe your using an outdated version. Battery life is like any other of this size, it last me a day I am Pleased Sir.

  • The batteryblife is terrible: it lasts less than a day with moderate use. Annoying glithes like that it often saves an empty draft after you send a text and then try to exit the text function. When you record a voice message on whatsapp, the message constantly stops recording as the icon seems to slip away from under your thumb. I never once had this problem on the iPhone.

  • There is option in settings "Update software

  • Android Version 4.4.4. how i get 5.2

  • Hello, I am using this phone since august 2015. Phone works great, sometimes it little bit lags, but it is just fine. I have android 5.0.2 on my G360F (in Latvia). Camera is very good.Only thing about this phone that I dont like is speakers, they are not loud.

  • Good Mobile, No lag, OTG is support, 361 model , very good ..... battry life 2 & 3 days , go and buy this,

  • They might have given you a damaged device, might have to get it replaced through your service provider

  • Just click on system settings upgrade system on your phone. If 5.2 is released to your country it will download automatically the update.

  • You have to wait for the update to roll out in your country. If it has (which is most likely), then simple go into the settings app, tap about device (at the bottom) and then tap software updates. Make sure you're connected to the internet, then tap the update now button. If you aren't already using 5.1.1, then it will hopefully download the update and install it. If you are rooted, you will need to unroot before updating.

  • bro ples tell how to upgrade the os in 4.4.4 to 5.1 android kindly sujjest me how could i do this

  • This is the best phone i ever had, I've been using it for 6 months and I've never experienced any problems, Ohh well it depends on where you bought it, i bought mine from vodacom and it's so legit.. So what I'm saying is don't buy your phones just anywhere and come here and post all bad comments about the device.. Seek stores which sell legit phones.

  • Ight, so i've testing calling, messaging, picture messaging, the speaker, the blue tooth, the microphone and the audio jack, so far its working well. But I've had it for about 2 hours. I'll give you an update in a month.

  • Hi have this phone. Well not quite long. I updated to lolipop and i can't figure out why people complain so much about. Ok back camera could be better, also battery but is removable, until now everything is running smoothly. Is not so good looking as A3, but after that one (same size comparing )is a good phone.

  • Visit to Service Center

  • i have a display IC problem. please tell me solution

  • This phone is Made In China and the music player is missing and it doesn't have heaset in the box.It sucks.

  • After 3 months in use i really recommend everyone to get core prime. I update to lolipop. Work fine with me. I am all day connected using 3G. I use a lot of apps and games. But i have a power bank battery 2600mAh to complete the day (around 14 hours ). Recently i have problem i can't share my 3G internet connection by WiFi using HotSpot. But WiFi is fine, cuz i can share contents and files and receive by WiFi. Also one of my friends has problem that his core prime ( dual sim ) doesn't support tow sim cards. Work few minutes then it shows some code error then showdown.

  • this samsung core prime is the worst phone...bought it new....people on the other end cannot hear me...says i sound distant...find myself having to holler for them to hear...then after about 10 minutes, they cannot hear me at all...had them replace the phone with another of the same one...still the same problem....will never buy a Samsung phone again!

  • Yes I have this problem too exact same thing my phone gets very very hot I thought it was something I was doing or maybe my charger was messed up then I noticed it was getting super hot when it wasn't be on the charger and I'm not sure EXACTLY how long my phone will stay charged but I do know it dyes super quick

  • try double clicking on what you want to select

  • I bought the Galaxy core prime on saterday February 6 2016. I'm a stay st home mom so don't really have money to buy new phone all the time this is my first new phone in 3 years so I was very excited to get it because my old phone had so many problems well soon as I got this phone I charged it fully to let drain fully that whole deal ur supposed to to well my phone gets really really hot when I'm not even using it like really hot and battery does within 2 hours after being fully charged I was so bummed becomes I loved the phone. Plus nothing from my sd card would transfer to phone no pics music n e thing just keep saying. Mount sd. So loving the phone but having all these issues I tooknphone back to Walmart to exchange for new one of the same. So I did that n got it activated and before I even left the store or so burning hot again asked the worker and said it's normal w these Samsung phones I told her that's not right. She said battery should hold up fine though. Well same thing happened fully charged n when I unplug it it does within 2 hours and stays very got to the touch about burnt my face to answer a call. I have read so many reviews. And no one has had this problem except me if n e one else had this issue plz let me know or tell me what u did to fixit. I'm guessing I need to go w new phone of different brand thanks for ur time

  • Been using the dual sim version (SM-G360h/ds) for the last 6 months. only problem has been that the touch screen isn't very responsive while the phone is being charged.

  • Can this set galaxy core prime be used for LTE. Please guide does it need any software upgrade tobe used for LTE for band 3. 1800mhz carrier.any advice how to make it possible

  • Guys, Listen, Do not charge your phone more than 3 hours, wait until the battery drops to 5% and charge it, then your battery will be okay, if you drop the phone, signal weeknesses will arrise in every phone, if you keep your phone in a tight denim pocket, then the digitizer will get damaged, if you keeping your phone in tight pockets please use a hard flip cover for the protection. Thanks

  • Can you Please make the Upgrade of samsung Galaxy Core Prime to An OS of Lollipop 5.1.1 please? I want to have It. ASAP

  • why we cant take normal video calls by using core prime

  • Initially I was impressed n grab the phone with swet that the phone was scarcity in the market. But I got very frustration that core prime is the worst I have ever any other. within a week I had to re format due to various problems.After that I am facing so many kinds of problems, no words to say. Samsung co.should apologise n refund to all or exchange good one. I do not believe on samsung products now onwards. samsung believes on heafty quantity to supply, having zero quality of inner system. I could not tolorate. I would not make mind to purchase samsung product ever. nice looks design is useless b,coz of phone is to use not to be a show piece in showcase.

  • this is genuine Samsung problem. my mate had it on his s5 and s6.

  • i purchased my 14 year old daughter a phon for her birthday 11-8-2015. we also purchased my daughter her first phone 11-8-2015 4 her b-day. we purchased her a allcotell phone being was her first.not a problem a complaint about her cheap phone.but hard working people like us end up with stewed up phones because the manufactory company's that makes these phones need to refund us our money back or a better phones.watch cbs mewsin the charlotte area and listen molly grantham as she interviews me and several customers about these whatever you call them because i don't consider them phones until the problem gets fixed or refund us money or a better phone. i just want a better phone.giantsfan4life35

  • it doesn't matter weitherit's for the wealthy or poor, it's a piece of crap that needs to be pulled from every company that selling them m.

  • One of many problems I've had with mine. I returned the first one I got on 12-10-2015,6 days later,got the same kind of phone and it is not any better. I've never ever seen such a bad phone and others on my Facebook have the same issues. This problem needs to be fixed and I will get the word out about this phone so they don't purchase it. Giantsfan4life35.

  • i agree with you on your comment there a piece of junk.

  • i got mine on 12-10-2015,didn't have it a week, took back traded in for the same kind, i'm not at all pleased with the phone on so many levels.it's the sorriest phone i've ever had in my life& i have had quite a few. it's slow,you constantly have to update your apps,facebook will just go away on its own as well as messenger,gmail account and i have to go to google play and install them again and again, it takes forever to move to sd card,& sometimes it doesn't do it at all. i've had it checked out,plenty of space,no games downloaded at all. it freezes up all the time,cuts itself off 4-5 times a day. it's just the worst phone i've ever had and 10 friends on facebook say the same thing about there phone. i would not recommend nobody to ever purchase this phone what so ever.i know people that have the government phones and there's runs 20 times better than these phones. samsung galaxy company u need to pull these phones off the shelves or do a better job by making a better phone. if i had to rate this on a scale of 1-10, i might give it a 1.sincerely, pamela almond bolding from gastonia n.c 28052.

  • its dope

  • I have 32G internal, only used 350mb of it and it already says I;m out of internal memory. what the hell?!

  • i have the same problem . the phone goes crazy and types on it own. took it to Samsung got a new screen and back to square one.

  • By the way, the RADIO of this phone is so cool...all you need is to plug the earphone and it will scan all the available radio stations in your area and presto, you have a radio and you can also use the speaker phone and let everybody listen to the sounds.

  • Honestly, I don't know why there is a notice in box, maybe the unit I bought is really meant for Arabia/Africa use, but it works also in the Philippines ;-)

  • It is said that this phone is 4G but, literally it is fake on the description. But the real thing is that It is only 3G mobile. I frost to buy this mobile. In the references this phone is always good for all other services..............#

  • But how tall is it????

  • im using core prime it have automatic touch problem and screen goes crazy

  • Core prime is very gud mobile of their lowest price its price is 7690 this price is better for middle class family

  • I am fed up with network dropping while using internet

  • i bought my samsung core prime before six months phone is good but now my touch is working automatically without touching the phone...also service centre is not giving me better service ...they always says that touch is not avalible and all that...i fed up with it

  • hai friends my samsung core prime no 4g it is 3g only my update the lolipop update pleace tell me

  • Goog phone but battry is containe som proplem

  • Core prime is better than j2 but j2 price is 8190 and core prime price is 7690 so how is better core prime than galaxy j2

  • Yes, me too., i bought this mobile 1 week ago., This mobile is very nice to operation., But i'm confuse also why this mobile special for Arab and Africa country....

  • I pick up my phone sometimes and try to make a call and it's froze up..I'm 59 and have a lot of medical issues that could threaten my life. Hope I don't start having a heart attack and can't call 91l..Worst phone I've ever owned. It freezes up out of the blue on everything. Everyday I have to restart it or when it won't even let me do that I have to take out the battery and put it back in...I'll never buy another Samsung phone!

  • Please my g361h has network dropping problem..updates has been twice but still same problem..unless you turn off one sim it's cool..but i want to use both SIM..I need help. Thank u

  • I bought one last Dec 2015 and so far I am satisfied. Although I found out in the box that the unit I bought is written that it is meant only for Arabia and African countries use of which I don't know what it means. At first my roaming SIM card from the Philippines did not work out, only the Arabian SIM card but when I went for vacation in Manila, to my surprise my Philippine SIM card worked at all without any problem and even when I got back to Saudi Arabia my Philippine SIM card is still working with this unit. Well this is my first Samsung smartphone and honestly, I like it because it caters to my needs without any glitches. Also, I can change the ringtones and notification sounds from my 2 different SIM cards. Overall, this unit works for me satisfactory.

  • its very good phone

  • tis mob 1st 3months good ......but i am not satisfied.... tis mob always hanging .....tis s no good

  • This is a replacement for my galaxy ace 3 which was great. Definitely not a step up, lots of issues that make me want to throw it against the wall. The 1st point and most regular annoyance is the volume buttons on the side is accidentally touched very easily and therefore mutes the phone and as a result you miss calls. The galaxy ace and s3,s4,s5 all had volume buttons more recessed than this and worked fine. Freezing issues are quite common and have to remove the battery to revive it. Charger switches on /off/on/off........etc. Therefore takes an eternity to charge, definitely will not be getting another and would not recommend to anyone.

  • I have an Samsung prime core fone and it suckz my key pad is in half and I cannot sent txt mesgs out so cn u help me to get back on track with a full keypad so I will be able to sent mesgs

  • my fone has half of an keypad , not full which I cannot sent s txt mesg : help needed

  • When Relised lalipop verstion ?

  • When Relised lalipop verstion ?

  • hi guys .. why i do't have the 4g lte option in my galaxy core prime? is there any other version which has only 3g with the same modle core prime?

  • No, because after using it for 1month it becomes so laggy. This problem is there for every J series

  • No dear, Core prime is not the best one. Now we all know that core prime's touch is very bad, camera takes time to focus and capture pics, touch becomes even bad while charging in many coreprimes, display color quality is poor and colors look washed out on core prime's display. There are much better options than this core prime. Core prime sells only for its brand value and average specifications.

  • J2 is very laggy phone. Only display is better. Nothing else.

  • Touch response is very bad in this phone. Many times touch do not respond in first attempt. It becomes even bad while in charging. Not only in my core prime but in most of the core primes. No way to make it better. Feeling like cheated in Rs. 9200. I bought it when it was newly launched. I wish i bought other brand mobile phone in similar price range with better performance

  • Is it4g phone

  • No official update and no Custom Update

  • Samsung galaxy j2 is better than core prime everybody know that it is 100% true

  • Yah it is true i am agree ur coment and feedback i am also used core prime really it is a best mobile of midil class family

  • Why?

  • pls when is the loolipop update coming for samsung galaxy core prime phone pls make it available fast as soon as possible

  • I hate this phone. Can't wait to get a new one. No storage space, camera sucks, constantly hangs u[ on people when my face touches the screen.It freezes, randomly won't work at all. Lots of issues. Cheap. crap.

  • the camera sucks

  • I've had all kinds of smart phones love it .I've had 4 droids hust to name a few .The problem I'm not loving is it says my disc has no room delete sum files yet I can't access my photos to delete them when I go into files there is no option the shutter is,way to slow on the camera

  • Is the camera good and is the video good good BC I got musical.ly and I use video a lot and stuff so I don't need it sucking and does it keep up with your voice please reply

  • mine is 4g LTE so i dont know which one you guys have

  • The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime is my third smart phone. The first two were both HTC Incredibles, which I loved. This one is a big disappointment. I had heard so many raves about Samsung, I truly expected it to be a step up. At least once a day I find myself saying "I HATE this phone!" My biggest annoyance is the placement of the volume rocker switch. Every time I pick up the phone, I turn the ringer off, by accident, therefore, I miss most calls. The storage is so small that by the second week I had the phone, there was not enough space for updates. The camera is so slow that by the time the shutter snaps, the subject has moved far out of position or just gave up waiting! The picture quality seems pretty good to me. It is near impossible to see what you are shooting if you are outdoors and it is equally hard to see anything on the screen when you are outdoors. Also, I hate how it is really hard to find your photos. There are three icons for photos and they all have the same pictures. I am afraid that if I delete a folder I will lose those photos. I feel like my phone must be different from those that the other reviewers have. The phone service is quite good. Another of my peeves is that there are times I have to swipe six or more times just to gain access. There are a lot of apps that I would like to remove but can't. Now that all phone chargers other than Apple products have the same style charger, it's a real pain because not all those chargers will work in this phone and it requires charging a lot. I have four chargers around the house, one in the car and a portable in my purse. The predictive text is horrible. I selected this model because of the lower price and the smaller size. I do like the size. Having gotten my previous phones free with my 2 year Verizon contract, I certainly expected this phone to be better. I am very disappointed. I wish I had gotten the free iPhone 3 years ago when it was offered. I do have good internet and game speeds seem to be fine, but I only have a couple games. Another issue is that the notifications sound is the same for texts as for other things....I imagine that is changeable, but as with so many 'user friendly' things, it's only easy if you know how. It's probably an ok phone as a first smart phone but I wouldn't recommend it. My husband has the same phone as his first smart phone and he loves it.

  • At first u go to setting and then u r click to on the mobile data i hope thus ur internet cunaction is on

  • i can't get update lolipop

  • It says "Released 2014, November"

  • there is two type of galaxy prime 1. dual sim 3g 2. one is 4g single sim

  • dont try to upgrade lallipop 4.4 batter then lallipop

  • What year did the phone come out

  • Don't it sucks I bought a galaxy avant last year and it is miles better and it was the same price and it works still better than this phone work and my husband just bought this phone a couple weeks ago so it's my advice that you shop for a different phone

  • if you are lucky like i am its possible to get a brand new one running V5.1.1

  • my new core prime has decided not to be able to be connected to the net, cannot access facebook google youtube and any other net related apps on it. telstra tech help texted me for 4 hours yesterday trying too change settings to get it working again but in the end told me to take it too their shop and get someone to manually look at it, can anyone give me suggestions please. greatwinnie,

  • When can i upgrade my g360H to lollipop???

  • On my g361f there is 5.1.1 lollipop out of the box so it looks like your model hasn't got the update.

  • Iam using this phone for one month and the only issue i faced is the heating up when playing games for long time and battery drains a bit fast when upgraded to lollipop. No other issues. I love this phone!!!. Thankyou

  • We are stuck with kitkat for this device g360h. There will be no lollipop for us. And all those who comment here that they got lollipop are fakes. There's no updates via ' over the air' either you check with wifi or with internet mobile data..

  • Want to get this phone and want an opinion on it ?

  • This device is not 4G .....Company says that core prime mobile has 4G facility but actully there is no such thing is there in this device....

  • Dial *86 and follow prompts

  • Can it be upgraded to Android 6 ?

  • I just read the comment about the box saying my phone is 4G while I'm so surprised to realize that the screen top says 3G, so there's no way for it to get 4G. I never paid attention to see if it could change because when at home I generally use the wifi to save on data usage. I can't believe I paid this much for a phone because it said it was 4G when it's clearly not capable! Had it too long to exchange or return it now

  • everything about this phone is amazing i love it to bits

  • im loving my galaxy core prime

  • settings>sim card manager>turn on mobile data

  • nice phone...i like

  • i cant accessy internet.....i dont know whats the pblm with this phone...if anyone know the solution thn help me .plz

  • I have had my samsung galaxy core prime for 6 months now and i havent had a single problem with the phone it has a great camera awesome battery usage and u can dowload all kinds of games, rintones ect the only thing that i got mad at with my phone is that it didnt have a game i really wanted its called episode u should play it

  • yea the camera is good i have a samsung galaxy core prime and i take awesome selfies

  • Definitely In this year core prime has update lollipop

  • Yes It is not connect

  • No

  • Is the camera good ?

  • go to settings. followed by 'about device' and go to software update. click on update. when your wlan is on. You click on it then it will search and you will see the update lollipop then you update. Remember to do a backup of your contacts and your personal data. Thanks.

  • If you have had the S3 mini you definitely won't like this device. I would personally stick to the Samsung a. The calendar is not good, you can't easily if at all delete one event out of a series of events in the calendar and it's difficult to use compared to the S3. Unfotunately I have to keep it for another 23 months due to renewing my contract and being advised by WE this device was better. Honestly I would not purchase it.

  • how to update with lolipop

  • My self also facing the same problem

  • its a cool phone for 120 euros good camera screen multitasking its fast and good battery

  • It does thank you

  • Yes when you first get the SD card it has to create a table on it that is unseen to the user and will remain unmounted till formated and if it came out of another phone it will want to format it to becomes of firmware change between phones becomes of that hidden table. Max SD card you can put on this phone is 200gb. Rembert though that the bigger the SD card the longer it will take to format it.

  • Network issues try updating Google play services then connect to WiFi and update the firm ware through setting/about/software update

  • In the back of the phone under the cover on top of the sum card max SD card you can put is 200gb. Hope this helps.📲

  • so far so good the phone is amazing and battery life is awesome... its a nice phone

  • Where does SD card go

  • Yes it's a good brand but had bit problem with networking.. my core prime's network wont be stable it go's up and off totally also it restarts it's self ..unusual and funny things am experiences

  • the battery life on this phone is terrible!! its extremely laggy when typing the phone freezes when exiting a video it still plays in the background and randomely exits whatever task or game your in the middle of! a really crappy phone

  • what is the SYNC? & how i active correctly the DO NOT DISTERB?
