  • Hi, if you forgot the security screen lock pattern answer, then you need to find Forget Pattern button after doing several time wrong pattern answer until Samsung Galaxy Core freeze for several seconds. Press that button then we will bring to answer Google account or Gmail username and password to unlock or bypass forgot screen lock pattern answer. If you can not access Google account, then you need to do hard reset with hardware button step above.

    • I tried what you said but it did not work. No forgot password button appeared. What do I do?

      • Hi, if your security password protections comes from the default Android os, then the Forget Password button should be appear after doing several time wrong answer at security field. Unless you install 3th party security applications from Google Play Store, then the process will be different depend on that applications. Please make sure about the that security type first.

    • how can unlock my screen it ask for pin

      • Hi, the first time you give security protection at your Samsung Galaxy Core, the phone will also ask you to type new pin for Backup PIN. This is to unlock your phone when you forget the main security protection. If you also forget the backup pin, then you should do recovery or unlock or bypass forgotten security protection using Gmail username and password. Please try to do several time wrong answer for security protection until the Samsung Galaxy Core locked and the Forgot Password / Pattern button appear. Press that button to unlock using Gmail account. The last option if you can not access Gmail account, then you have to do hard reset using #Option 2 above.

I really don't know how this happened . Any way. i tried the instruction from here. i have already put wrong passwords about 80 times. but no fprgeotten password appears..Any help? thanks!

        • Hi, usually the Forgot Password button will appear after you give wrong password at your phone several time continuously until the phone freeze for about 30 seconds. However, if you can not recovery your Samsung Galaxy Core using Google account steps, then you should do hard reset with hardware button to bypass the security protections, but sadly all your data will be removed and wipe after finish doing hard reset. Please consider to unplug the external card before doing hard reset as well.

• my phone frequently gets hanged up and says that "google play store has stopped"..help me out plz.

  • Hi, some reason could be cause by several things. First, this problem usually happen because some applications not installed or run properly, then it make the Google Play Store stop to work. Other probability is because the Google Play Store itself have problem with update or any other internal causes. Please try to empty or clear cache of Google Play Store at your Samsung Galaxy Core by go to Setting > Applications > All and find Play Store applications. Find Clear Cache button and press that button to empty the Play Store cache. After that try to soft reset or restart your Samsung Galaxy Core. If the problem still happen, you should try to search the suspected applications which interference Google Play Store applications. If you still not solve the problem, the you may consider to do hard reset or master format, but please backup you important data because everything will be wipe and deleted when doing hard reset or master format.

• My samsung galaxy core restart automatically....I have visited service centre there they fix my problem but again that restart problem started.... I am having this problem the day I bought this phone plz help

  • Hi, if you already bring to service center, we assume that the hardware is fine now. Please try to do hard reset, and then we suggest you not to activate your Google account, you can try to create temporary Google account at your Samsung Galaxy Core. Try to use this phone for several day. Why we need to do this? Because Android have facility to backup and restore installed application by Google account at Google cloud server, sometime the applications and setting can be automatically backup to Google cloud server, and when you do hard reset or format all data will wipe from your Galaxy Core, but after login again with the same Google account, your Samsung Galaxy Core might restore that trouble applications back from Google cloud server. So, you can try to use other account and try for several days to see weather still have the same problem or not.

• when do galaxy core gti8262 will get kitkat upgrade

  • Hi, officially the Galaxy Core GT-I8260 still not get official Android Kit-kat update from Samsung, but maybe you can get reference from other community website which already make custom rom (unofficial). But please remember, we need to follow carefully the step by step process to make custom rom can work properly at our smartphone. Anyway, we are not suggest doing update to custom rom because some wrong step can make our Samsung Galaxy Core become stuck or can not use anymore.

• my phone is stuck on welcome screen .......... even the battery of my phone is charged...... i have some important images in my gallery....please help me...

  • Hi, this problem happen usually because you have ever try root or change unofficial firmware or install some applications that need to have root access. But some users also have this problem without doing root or something like that. First you can try to remove the external memory card, and plug it at memory card reader, connect it to computer to see weather some images already saved at memory card or not. If our phone already stuck or stop at Samsung logo welcome screen, then we can not access any data at internal memory, unless if you already install recovery applications like ClockModWork (CMW). In normal situations, if you never root your phone, then you should try to do hard reset without have possibility to backup all important data. Hopefully your phone will not remove some important data after doing hard reset, because some Android have two partitions inside internal memory, which are system and internal data (act as SDcard) partitions, but we are not sure this state also available at your phone.
