Are you using the update app from windows store? Or the software on the Samsung website.
Well, the windows store is the one you should be using. If you already are, make sure update is updated. If that is a yes too, you might have to downgrade the firmware so you can update the BIOS again and hopefully it'll check the box for "update completed"(its not visible, the checkbox is arbitrary)

The chromebook thing isnt actually a problem. It's just Google letting you know that your chromebook version has reached its EoL. It will continue working fine, and wont get interrupted by updates anymore. You still have all the functionality you always had.
But the All-in-One software isnt working?
Which software is this and what are you trying to do with it?

The blue light just means its plugged in.
Try holding the power down for 15 seconds. No guarantee that will be the fix, but it's a general fix that "will probably work".
If it doesn't, does the screen ever flash any text, or is it ever backlit?

What Bluestorm said. If you're having problems, make sure the file is on your phone, not an sd card. My customs are in the list of ringtone at the top.

You can choose which apps can get what permissions. You only have to worry about being hacked if your phone is rooted. That nullifies standard Samsung and Android security.

This was on Google Play? You should be able to sign back in to your account and see(and likely redownload) all your music and apps. Google still knows you paid for it.

I might be able to help if I knew which app is popping up, and any text given, if any.
But in general, it would be in Settings > Notifications.

It shouldn't be in AppData yet. That temp will get flushed. You dont have to worry about that. Go into your Downloads folder, and right click the SW_Update you downloaded from the site and go to properties. At the bottom of that window, you should see a checkbox to unblock under the advanced button. Click that and apply.
Its code that you downloaded from the internet. Microsoft sees that it didnt come from them and does stuff to their code so they dont let you(this is why the update is being ported to Windows Store). This checkbox let's it skip customs when you want to run it.

Navigate to the file or program that's being blocked by SmartScreen.
Right-click the file.
Click Properties.
Click the checkbox next to Unblock so that a checkmark appears.
Click Apply.
The file should now be treated as safe by SmartScreen and you'll be allowed to open it.

I just did a google for "Samsung Gear keyboards" and there are too many options for what kind you are looking for. I saw full keyboards with tiny buttons, I saw flip phone keyboards that fit nicely on the watch, I saw radial typing, I saw voice typing, I saw a few swipe-like dragging keyboards.
You're going to have to specify what kind of keyboard you're looking for.

Same thing happened to me a while back. All of a sudden, I couldn't tether. As it turns out, phone company suddenly to change their mind. It wasnt on my plan anymore. Call up your carrier. They probably know how you can turn it back on

Yes. Same. There are at least two reasons it could be giving you an error. Microsoft doesn't see it as a legit copy of windows for whatever reason, or it hasn't been updated with the ATIV line. Have you tried installing this:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201304/20130418102343442/SWUpdate_2.1.14.1.ZIP
That will likely also give you Samsung Settings.

If this laptop was purchased in Pakistan, you would have to call 0800-726-786.
If it was purchased in US and got brought to Pakistan, you can call 1800 SAMSUNG but if it needs to be sent in, it's going to get a little more complicated. The warranty covers shipping to and from USA. You would need a friend in the states, send the laptop to them, they can send it off, and it will be sent back to them. Your friend can send it back to you.

Call 1800 SAMSUNG and get connected to the Laptop dept. They can set up a mailing label so you can send it in under warranty, or be able to troubleshoot it over the phone.

Where did you download Samsung Settings?
The current version for your model can be found on Windows Store. The other option had a lot of guesswork. Grabbing it from the store is a lot more streamlined. You will get just the pieces that are compatible.
Edit: you can also get a copy of Samsung Update from the same store so you can make sure your system is up to date before you hit the road.

Got it. You need one of these. https://www.samsung.com/us/smart-home/smartthings/hubs/samsung-smartthings-hub--2018--gp-u999sjvlgda/
This is what your dryer is trying to connect to.

It could be hardware or software. If there is a new problem with the cord or the block, the suggestion surXgGX gave should fix it. But before you do that, make sure you dont have a lot of apps running that have background processes. It's actually good form to open up your recent apps from time to time(the button on the bottom right beside your home button) and close everything your not currently using.
But the problem be to more battery being used than the charger can supply, or the cord/brick being frayed or split.

Look for a USB-c splitter or hub. A splitter will give you two or more USB-c ports. A hub will convert to lots. Hdmi, USB, maybe even another USB-c

The adaptor would work for washers/dryers interchangeably. You wouldnt have to get another, but I'm pretty sure yours comes with wifi on it's own. The adaptors were for the washers/dryers that were made while this while "wifi in appliances" thing was just getting started.
Which version of the SmartThings hub do you have? Washers cant connect to V1. Those aren't sold anymore, so it's probably V2 or V3. Just knocking it out the way.
First, make sure your router and SmartThings hub is within 10 feet of the washer/dryer, 15 tops(distance can be played with later. We just need to make sure this isnt part of the problem. Then try to connect it without the dongle. I've set a few up and dont remember any "press this to disable everything" steps in there.

It's probably included in the chipset update. Have you played with the keyboard settings in the Samsung Settings "app" yet?

I dont think it's your motherboard. It sounds like the OS is booting up fine, and throwing a debug alert because "I cant find anywhere to put my data". I'd look for storage settings in the DVR system.
Cole said "most" because there are a group of DVR specialists. You have their possible number, (Was this system purchased in America? If not, it would be a different number.) The ssd people can maybe help connect it to something else for troubleshooting if hotplugging doesn't work.

I thought you were talking about a replacement. Not the original. If the original crashed, it possibly rendered the partition unrecognizable. And would throw an error when it tried to boot.
You said it boots fine without it. What about this - When you unplug it, turn on the system, let it get to its idle, then plug it in, does the system even scan for it? It might(translate to "it will hopefully") give options to try to fix it itself. Another option would be to take it to geek squad for a format.
Another option, like Cole said above, you might have luck posting in the computer section in the memory sub. If the issue here was the controller, it usually throws something, regardless of a drive being attached or not. I think the issue here is the drive though.
Try things that were mentioned and try to play with it, I'll check the memory forum for any additions there, and keep coming back here in case someone says something that makes me eureka.
Edit: I also tried looking into the system itself, but can find nothing about the HD, only that its 1Tb. But another option that I thought of was customer support. 1-877-213-1222 is allegedly the number for the security camera specialists, but that came from the Samsung website. The numbers get switched up fairly often. If you have an issue, try calling 1800SAMSUNG. They should be able to get you to where you need to be.

Depending on the app your using, you might can remap buttons. If not, you can use any of the gamepad remapping apps available. You could also get a controller advertised for mobile gaming.

Try turning the phone off, take the sim card out, put it back in, turn it back on.
Does it register?
If no, what did you just update to?

Were gonna need more info.
What app is doing this?
How much free space is on your internal sd?
Have you optimized your phone in the maintenance section of your settings(including putging inactive apps to sleep)?
Does it give a popup with an error code when it crashes?
When is the last time you reboot your phone?
Do you close unnecessarily active apps before you play?
What is the aero speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

iPhone has an app. Android has lots of apps. Skype and hangouts are the big names. They are cross carrier and probably even have an app for your iPhone friends. Samsung could, however, release a Samsung branded video app, but there would be no reason to make a communications app limited to one android manufacturer, and other manufacturers would not likely invite a Samsung app onto their phones. This probably wouldnt happen, and what we got now is an app by the "owners" of android that works on all carriers(and even iPhones)

They aren't supposed to work on anything with physical damage. The loophole they provide is to fix it and then continue with the warranty like nothing ever happened. You still have a warranty, but if they replaced your charger port and it didnt do anything because your glass is cracked(not probable for this instance, it's just a blanket policy), they would have to fix it again, needlessly wasting time and money. If you wish to refuse everything, they can send it back as-is. You havent signed a contract.

It could also be the format for the hard drive. New hard drives usually come without a partition. If the camera system doesn't see a readable partition on boot, it will try again.
Try plugging it up to a computer. It will probably say "this drive needs to be formatted". Do that, or format it within your OS. And try again. Sorry. Not sure what that system is able to read. I have no idea what type of format, I'm just pretty sure it's not formatted.
