      Please what should I do to make my downloads go into my memory card instead of the phone's memory? Most of the times when I try coping videos or pictures to d memory card it gets corrupted.

          This phone has a problem. When i charge my phone. It heats up
          Sometimes i can't touch this. Even turning off my phone it heats up as well. The battery would affect the heat of the phone. Sometimes slow charging it take a while to full charge. And the battery drains quicklu. How can i fix this problem??

                Received may security patch today

                  CaptainBereh, 18 Jun 2020it is simply because of the mobile chipset capability. I think the mobile chipset and hardware are capable of accepting a newer major update even if being a little bit simplified like the android oreo go edition for some nokia phones. However, Samsung is sticking to two major updates for a smartphone even premium series like the S or Note series. This policy has to change and upgrade the phones with at least three major updates just to stay almost up to date like iphone keeps much older phones up to date and this is its major point of strength against samsung and most android phones. Nowadays smartphones are becoming much more powerful and capable of longer living with newer updates.

Maybe when your finger moves it covers the proximity sensor and thus the screen turns off.

                                Please why does my Samsung Galaxy A5 screen light repeatedly go on and off when I'm on call and have my finger across the screen, could it be the sensor?

I think this should reset the settings of the mobile and the apps settings and then solve the problem if as you are saying it's not a hardware problem.

                                      What I don't get is that when I receive a call, I am unable to hear the other party through the earpiece, but when I press the speaker option , the audio is played through the earpiece and it is loud and very clear and I am able to communicate without any trouble .

But I don't think this will help. An easier solution try to do factory reset. If for a certain virus or app or malfunctioning the earpiece speaker is not working this may help
