Samsung Galaxy 7 Stuck on Tasks

what now

Lurker
Here's a help that might help someone that I just spent some time trying to troubleshoot.
I was in my calendar function and I'm not even sure how I ended up in "Tasks" (part of the Calendar app). All I know is that I could NOT get out of it. I crawled thru all the settings of everything. I powered the device down, and that didn't help either.

Finally I kept trying to press hard on corners, and drag from the edges,.. ANYTHING that might be "hiding" that I couldn't see but would give me options. In the upper right corner, I pressed firmly and saw 3 little vertically aligned dots, with a little delay popup saying "more options". But I had to do that about 5+ times as I couldn't react fast enough before it disappeared. Kept after it, and finally the "more options" opened up and a couple of choices, and one of them was "Calendar". Since it was my Calendar app that I couldn't get to, because "Tasks" was primary, I selected "Calendar". Hooray!! My calendar came up and I closed it and then selected te Calendar from the app choices again.. and it went correctly into my Calendar app. I hope NEVER to find myself in the Tasks app part of the Calendar again!! I'll reach for a post-it note FIRST!! Hope this helps someone.

Ok, it's November 2021, so the App has changed a bit. Ignore the three vertical dots menu (top right). Instead, click on the three horizontal bars menu (top left), then select Month. Hopefully, that'll take you back into your familiar Calendar.

(I've just wasted an hour on Samsung's 24/7 support chat, communicating with someone who knows nothing.)

Today's real hero is Lurker . Thanks for posting, mate.

When will software companies stop writing such appallingly bad Apps. Designed by clueless kids
