I always have a time set on my phone for selfies, but my daughter turned it off and i cant turn it back on. Cant find an option anywhere on my phone. Ideas anyone? X
I've read through the responses and everyone seems to have covered what I may have suggested. I'm really hoping you can fix this coz I've drawn a blank too.
Depends on what you are referring to. If you are referring to the clock widget you'll have to long press on your wallpaper a select your widget.
Yet if you to find your clock app for settings, then swipe up the system app tray. That will list all your apps so select clock and settings. It has settings even in during a phone lock.
@DeWayfarer its not the click setting thats an issue. The option to set a timer in my camera app has disappeared. It was there until my daughter turned it off last week.
@RubySoo Hmmm uncertain here. My camera app does have something similar, yet it's not a Samsung rather a Motorola. The two have different camera setups.
You might be needing to look for a "more" option for the time lapse settings. That's where it is on my Motorola.
Ruby, have you tried this? The A15's camera timer icon might be missing from the icon bar due to it being hidden or disabled, or perhaps the app itself was uninstalled.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Check if the Camera app is hidden: Go to your phone's Settings > Home screen > Hide apps.
If the Camera app is listed under "Hidden apps," tap the minus sign to unhide it. Tap Done to save the changes.
2. Check for disabled Camera app:
Open your phone's Settings > Apps.
Tap the filter icon (three lines or dots) and choose Show system apps. Scroll down and find the Camera app. If it's disabled, tap it and press Enable.
3. Reset home screen layout:
Go to Settings > Home screen.
Tap Reset Home Screen Layout (this will reset the layout to default, but no apps will be deleted).
4. Check for updates:
Open the Camera app and tap the Settings icon (gear icon).
Swipe to and tap About Camera. Check for updates and install if available.
@RubySoo The response that Veronica Jane gave you is the correct response. Just ensure that you click on the Photo Mode and then the timer selection will appear at the top of the screen. If that doesn't work, post a screen shot of what your phone looks like when you select the camera icon and select the photo mode.
I did a settings search, no search results came back. A good idea would go to your carrier store and have a sales clerk or tech see if they can figure it out...
@NativePortlander1970 ive had the phone about 18months and always used the timer. My daughter took some shots with my phone last week and turned the timer off.....and now i cant find it at all.
@RubySoo At this point given the only advice I could give you is to take it into Geek Squad, I would suggest simply searching the play store for another app with the same features since someone changed a setting and I'm no expert on how to unhide this particular UI feature.
@shinyplasticlove my initial screen has the self time function right on top on the middle. None of the dots you describe and I see in many apps. There is the gear for settings. What i like about the current is the ability to switch to the Pro mode. That allows me to alter the full photo exposure triangle.
