          Why is my Samsung Galaxy A12 phone not connecting to Wi-Fi?
          jae.klocko
          about 2 years ago
          There is no single reason for Wi-Fi connection problems in your Samsung Galaxy A12, as there are several possibilities. The problem could be with either the device or the router. First, make sure that your phone isn't on Airplane Mode and that Wi-Fi is enabled. If your Android phone claims it's connected to Wi-Fi, but nothing will load, try forgetting the Wi-Fi network and then reconnecting.

          sammie
          about 2 years ago
          No, The Samsung Galaxy A12 is not waterproof. The device hasn't received certification from the IEC, which means it might be water-resistant to some degree, but we wouldn't recommend testing it. If you want to use your A12 in water, we recommend using an underwater case from Samsung.
