Hi Blue9. While it's great to see that you are enjoying the camera on your A17, we're sorry that you are facing issues with battery life and latency. With the powerful Octa-Core processor running this device, it is capable of operating at great speed. Please take a look at troubleshooting steps that will address the latency here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/why-is-my-phone-slowing-down-and-how-can-i-speed-it-up/ This phone has an 5000 mAh battery, making it incredibly capable of supporting you through the day and more. During the initial usage period, the battery life will be lower than usual, due to the optimisation process.

We're sorry to hear that you're unable to download Google Play, Debbie.

Congratulations on your new A17, Tom. We'd love to help you with turning it off. To turn off your A17, simply press and hold the Side key and the Volume Down key at the same time for two to three seconds. Release the buttons when the power menu appears on the screen, and tap Power off, then tap Power off again to confirm. Alternatively, you can swipe down from the top of the screen twice to open the Quick Settings panel. Tap the Power icon near the top right of the screen (next to the settings gear icon), and tap Power off, then tap Power off a second time to shut down. You can find a user manual for your new phone at Settings > Tips and user guide. We hope this information is helpful. ^EW at Samsung Support

Hi EDZ. The items included within the box with your device are a reflection of our commitment to the environment. We found that the large majority of our users were re-using their plugs, so in the effort to reduce e-waste, we decided to include only a new cable, so that our users could still refresh their charger. To prepare for your new phone, we would always recommend checking out the 'What's in the box?' section of the purchase page. Enjoy your A17 4G!

We're sorry to hear that people can't hear you during calls on your Galaxy A17, Markie. We'd love to get you conversing again. Ensure the Mute icon on your active call screen has not been accidentally highlighted, and that your case or cover isn't covering the microphone hole. Gently clean the microphone hole of dust and debris using a soft brush. You can clear the cache of your Phone app, which will clear any temporary bugs. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Phone > Storage > Clear cache > Restart your phone. You can also use the pre-installed Samsung Members app to run a diagnostic check and identify any hardware issues. Open the Members app and go to Support > Get started. Your phone will run through a series of checks, including for your two microphones and your speaker. If the issue continues, please reach out to our friendly Support Teams, who are on hand to assist further. You can find our contact details and opening times here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/ We hope the above information is helpful, and we're sure you will soon be enjoying the five-star experience your new phone has to offer. ^EW at Samsung Support
