Questions and answers
How do I find my settings.
@William Harmon Look for a gear! You can put icons on home screen by touching the one you want on it and place it where you desire. To remove it press the icon and a remove symbol comed up.
why does my phone keep shutting itself off every evening, and won't come back on until after 7:00 am the next day?
The issue may be caused by a software-related setting like a scheduled power-saving mode, Do Not Disturb, or Digital Wellbeing feature that limits phone activity during specific hours. It is unlikely to be a hardware issue based on similar symptoms described.

I have 2 lines with my T Mobile account, each with their own sim card. Since the A15 has 2 sim slots, can I put both of my lines on it?
The Samsung Galaxy A15 supports dual SIM functionality, allowing you to use two SIM cards. Since the phone is compatible with T-Mobile, you should be able to use two T-Mobile SIM cards. However, note that one of the slots may be shared with a memory card, so using two SIM cards might limit storage expansion.

The A15 5g doesn't not sync with my 2019 Ford Edge. I have try several times to get it done so that I can see the map and avoid construction.
The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G may not sync with your 2019 Ford Edge for navigation because it does not support screen mirroring features like Smart View, which are typically used to display phone navigation on a car's screen. Without screen mirroring or compatibility with Android Auto, navigation syncing may not work.
