Hi there, Im seeking advice on the security of using Samsung Secure Folder for storing sensitive apps, specifically my banking app, on my Samsung Galaxy S10.

As you may know, the S10 is no longer receiving security updates, which raises concerns about its overall security.I'm wondering if using Samsung Secure Folder provides sufficient protection for my banking app, considering the device itself isn't receiving the latest security patches.

Are there any potential risks or vulnerabilities I should be aware of?Would appreciate any insights or recommendations

I have a Samsung S10P SM-G975F. I would really hate having to reset back to factory an get everything back to the way it is today (apps and data).

Thanks

Forgot to add that I’m currently in Ontario Canada for 2 weeks before I head back to Michigan. I bought the phone in Canada, just adding this for location purposes.

My dad has had his s10+ for about 5 years now and always charged wireless since he works on a farm and the charging port always gets dirty.

Now recently his phone doesn’t charge wireless anymore and when trying the wireless power share option the phone turns itself off.

He uses a love mei case a case that protects the phone all round, it has some metal in it but that’s never been an issue since it has rubber on the back.

Can the wireless charger coil be damaged in any way or could it be a software bug? I’ve restarted his phone and tried without the case without any success so far.

Hi, my wide angle lens is damaged and the picture quality is obviously crap.

I need to record a live video via a website for ID purposes but it utilises this lens by default and I cannot see any immediate options to disable this camera lens or change the lens on the website

Is there a way to do this?

okay so theres a setting to dim the wallpaper right? i have it off, but whenever my wallpaper is a light color it still does it anyway like i can TELL it was darkened n im tryna have this cute aesthetic home screen but it rlly just says "nuh-uh" to white wallpapers!??!

Hey,

my S10+ is glitching while loading. The screen is stuttering while scrolling, it is moving without touching. Did anybody know what to do ir how to fix?

I'm having some mic trouble on my S10E. People sometimes say they can't hear me on calls (no, it's not dirty or clogged. I recently had my phone apart and the filter screen and any dust were were cleaned out well), my voice memos app records my voice or when I play guitar but the input volume is about half of what it used to be and it seems to mostly be picking up from the top mic (regardless of what settings I use), Shazam and sound hound fail to ever register any sound, regardless of volume, and 2 apps for tuning a guitar fail to register any sound either. Any idea what the issue could be?

Hello everybody, I'm about to change my s10e battery. The phone works well but the battery is old and broken.

I want to reset the battery cycles counter, but i know that most of the methods need to root the phone, which I don't want to do to not lose Knox.

The only thing left is trying to flash the original ROM for my phone with Odin, but I don't know if this would reset the stats.

Did any of you tried and get some results?

Battery is so bloadted so need a change

Hi guys, my new S10+ Snapdragon 1TB/12GB just arrived and it is a beast. I dislike huge phones for daily use, so this is gonna be used as a multimedia player and for internet, with 1TB MicroSD card for FLAC music, video games and DEX. I just cannot imagine how great it must have been in 2019/2020 indeed.

What were your experiences? What you liked the most about the phone? And how would you compare it with S20+/S20 Ultra, if you can?

Have a splendid day.

Edit: pls pls guys check your facts b4 posting random replies, it is really easy to Google something you are not sure of, instead of making a tedious discussion about non existing problems.

Hello great people, So i got my S10+ 1TB/12GB Snapdragon. I wanted to compare it with the 128/8GB Exynos, yet the AnTuTu does not allow to download the 3D Lite benchmark, only the full 3D non-lite, whereas I had the Lite on the Exynos. Do you have suggestions how to run the whole AnTuTu benchmark with the 3D lite? I didn't manage, even side loading the 3D lite benchmark. Any feedback appreciated.

At first I had to restart the phone and take the card out and inside again for my S10 to recognize it again but now it apparently has completly lost the ability to read it. Any tips on how to resolve this?

Hi guys, I've replaced my battery a week ago and I see differences regarding daily use however not significant.

But the thing here is, the device care app runs the battery diagnostic and it still says "Life: Weak".

I have changed it on a reputable store.

Is this something that takes time to refresh or should I request a new one?

Thanks

Is anyone selling s10 plus i just need the display

Hello, fellow S10 owners, proud users of the best phone Samsung ever made! I was a happy owner of this beast for four wonderful years. But just a week ago, as I was considering that it might be time to back up my important data, my S10 unexpectedly died without saying goodbye.

I left it to charge overnight, and in the morning, I noticed it hadn’t charged for some reason. When I pressed the power button, I saw the Samsung logo, but after 15 seconds of trying to boot up, the screen went black, and since then, I haven’t been able to revive it. It doesn’t respond to wired charging or wireless charging. Initially, I thought it might be an issue with the battery or the power controller. I ordered a new battery to test my theory, opened the back cover, and installed it. The new battery should theoretically have had some charge, even if the charging port were faulty. But after putting everything back together, it still wouldn’t start.

So, here’s my question: has anyone managed to bring back an S10 with a broken soldered component? As I understand it, both the power controller and memory chip are soldered to the motherboard. So, potentially, it could be a dead motherboard or any other internal issue. Has anyone here encountered a similar problem, and if so, how did you handle it?

I feel pretty foolish for not backing up my important data, so my main goal is to recover the memory, not necessarily the phone itself. I went to a Samsung service center in my city, and they told me they don’t do soldering repairs. Their only solution was to replace the entire motherboard, which would mean losing all my data – not an option for me. I’ve heard there are services that can extract data from bricked phones by transplanting the memory to a donor board or using specialized devices to read the memory chip. But I’ve never used such services, so please, if anyone has experience, share your stories, the costs involved, and what it took to get it done – and if it even worked.

Thanks to everyone in advance. I really hope I can fix it, give it a second life, and that it’ll serve me for another four years, or maybe even longer.

Hi folks, I'm thinking about getting my S10 battery replaced vs. buying a new or new to me phone.

It doesn't makes sense, however, if I have a short runway of update support.

Do you know how I can figure that out? How much time I have left....

Did they later only end up producing the 'blue-ish' one that is actually 'Prism Black', I believe....??

I see this: https://swappa.com/guide/samsung-galaxy-s10e/colors?srsltid=AfmBOooA8oL8qTJHF8wqS6c7XHCCTr2qyNWLdHsWxG1BXfB8GCiGfpW-

but I'm trying to bid on this listing and communicating to the seller when his listing title is 'Prism Black' but the 6th picture has that tinge of blue that denotes that the color isn't indeed black after all.

Only 'colors' I actually see are that of the blue-ish color and have never seen white, black, red, etc., even. So....maybe I'll stick with the S20/21/22 series, paying significantly more to get a different color. My ex had the blue-ish color so it's trigger-some for me......not to mention the case options aren't too diverse after almost 6 years of steady sales, presumably....

Idk.

I got a really low end redmi 9a and i want a normal device (gaming and good camera) which runs roblox/minecraft/pubg etc at 60 fps stable, and the reviews ive seen all tick my boxes, so is it worth it for 350$ (never opened)? And also how do i know if its a snap dragon just by its box and should i update it to android 12?

This just started a couple months ago or so. I short-press the power button to turn the screen off, it goes black like it should but only for a split second then comes right back on. I have to press it 3 or 4 times to get the screen to go black and stay that way. It's not the end of the world but it is annoying. Anyone else running into this?

Until a couple of weeks I had a S10e, which I lost due to unfortunate circunstances. I ended up buying a refurbished S10 to replace it, and it looks great, but there is this thing that nags me. I'm left handed and I use my phone with my left hand and the curved sides makes me hit the letters of the keyboard while I'm typing, or hit the "back" button, which is on the bottom left corner, while I'm trying to entering a letter "p" or any key located on the far right side. This is very annoying while I'm browsing or typing. The phone came with a hidrogel film put over the screen. The film's edges are a bit raised, like not properly stickied. Would that be the cause of the problem? Or is my new phone a faulty one? Can I solved the problem by putting a case that covers the curved edges?

Oh, another thing that sometimes happens is that the keyboard sort of locks when the base of my left thumb is over the bottom left corner while I'm trying to reach the keys on the far right side of the keyboard.

Hi, I was wondering which one of my phones has better Bluetooth range for keeping devices connected like a Galaxy Watch or a Bluetooth Tile tracker that I have for my cat? The Tile tracker supposedly has a range of 350 feet but I was wondering if that is limited by the abilities of my phone(s).I have the Galaxy S10+ and the Galaxy Z Flip 5G (the 2nd generation model before the Flip 3 but after the Z Flip 4G). It was hard for me to find details about this with Google searches so if anyone can share any knowledge regarding this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Approximately 30 seconds after I unlock the passcode, it automatically turns off, this is was not an issue until my phone had ran out of battery and ever since then it refuses to stay on for more than 30 seconds after being unlocked.

My total internal storage memory is 128 GB. I recently got a one TB SD card and transferred most of the photos and videos. I still see a huge space occupied by system (19 GB) and other (80GB) in the internal storage. Is that a way to get rid of unnecessary data from system?
