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.

Guys,
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

I had this phone for over 2 years and frequently went into the water with it. I had no problems with this device after 3 years of owning it. The camera was not the best at that time but it was a fast device in those times. It fell and the back glass broke and sadly went underwater with it and the screen stopped working but it was great at the time it came out.

This phone has a crappy camera and that's the reason I'm not buying a Samsung again. read the review, which says something else. Moreover, the back panel glues have softened and the glass came off after a year or so.

salman, 02 Jun 2020I've got a problem to which I cant find a solution, can you... moreFirst try to clean the earpiece speaker holes with a thin nail (if you phone is still water resistant and not disassembled before this might kill the water resistant feature). Some times these holes get full of dust and turn into mud with humidity and thus you can't hear during calls. I faced such a problem when I had a galaxy note two and this solution helped me a lot. Otherwise it's either you need to replace the earpiece speaker or a motherboard problem.
