Mounting S10 in Windows 11 Explorer

Has anyone managed to mount the S10's file system in Windows 11 Explorer after this feature has been added to the Phone Link (Link to Windows) app? In my case, sync keeps failing and I'm wondering if this is a systematic issue with this type of phone or an individual problem.

Voice assistant issue

Hello, recently I've been really annoyed by my Samsung S10 making noices randomly when swiping. Most likely I enabled some kind of assistant by mistake, but can't figure which one. I can't find how to "summon" it either, because it works randomly. Sometimes when I watch YT and swipe to check the time, my phone says current time aloud "it is (one five zero six in local language)". Sometimes, when i grab my locked phone and accidentally swipe and hold the screen it makes a sound like a voice assistant turning on and after few second makes sound again. These sounds aren't same as google assistant when home button is held, also I disabled it before all this. Bixby voice is turned off and stoped, TalkBack is also off. Any ideas what it could be?

Any good place to buy battery replacement for the S10 in North Africa?

My S10 is getting old, I'm noticing a drop in performance due to the battery wearing out. Originally I was planning to upgrade by now, however I hate big phones like the Ultra lineup and I heard Samsung will release a Slim S25 next year (kind of a mini Ultra version) so I decided to wait til then.

Random freezing

I've had this phone since launch, but for the past 6 months, it occasionally freezes (about once a week). It doesn't fully lock up, but actions become extremely slow, taking seconds to respond. The only fix is restarting it.

When it happens, the phone heats up to over 40°C, and I often get a message about an app not responding - usually Samsung Health, Google Play, or the UI. Idk if these might cause the issue or are affected by it. I've tried clearing storage and doing a factory reset, but its still the same. Any ideas what is causing it?

What is the newest version of Bixby modes and routines that works on the S10?

My wife recently had to factory reset her Galaxy s10e and some of the modes in Bixby modes and routines are not working. I uninstalled the version that was copied from her phone before the reset , but the modes aren't working. I'm trying to install a newer version then the one from the Galaxy store, but it keeps throwing an error when I try to install it, saying "reject by build type".

Thanks in advance!

I'm so attached to my s10e...fear of losing it is overwhelming 😢

I've had my s10e since May 1st of 2019. I can't believe it has lasted me for this long, and I'm hoping it lasts even longer. Battery charge still lasts around 21 hours, and the phone is almost in MINT condition, I've taken good care of it as it was my first ever "premium" phone I got when I was 12.

How can I start preparing so that when it eventually dies on me, I make the upgrade process easier and don't risk losing any data.

Replacing my S10 with Pixel 8Pro ?

Hi there

Been using my S10 since 2020, great phone. Also had the S23+ and S24+ each when they came out and used them for half a year, before selling them. Didnt like their handling and they got very slow to the end. Now I am back on my S10 again and it is still fine, but acting very slow. My dads A53 is much faster :(

I am thinking to get an Pixel 8 Pro (theres currently a great deal, just 20€ / month including all net flat and 20GB of data.

Does anyone have experiences with Pixel 8 or even 9 coming from an S10? I was also considering doing the step to iPhone 16, but I had a 14 for a week and didnt like it at all.

Thanks in advance

Strange application behavior

I have a notes app thats in my secure folder. It has been acting strange of late in the sense that when I open the app, it opens a google update page in chrome yet the app is updated to the latest version already.

I installed a random app from the playstore and it does the same thing. Can anyone explain why this is happening.

If i exit the pop-up window and open the apps, they work just fine until the playstore window opens up again.

You can get circle to search on older galaxy devices or any android device for that matter.

So basically if you've seen those new galaxy or pixel devices where you can just press and hold the home button and you can search whatever is on the screen or copy any text from a image and translate. Now you can get that same functionality on the old devices or any android device. You can pair it up with 'double tap' or double click power button to activate it and then circle whatever you want amd it will search the image on the web. If its a text you will be able to translate and copy it (even from an image). So here is a short story of how i found it or you can just skip below and checkout the app itself and give your opinion on how it is.

Recently i was searching for some blog post and i found out about hyperos gallary apk getting leaked with the ai features and it took me to some telegram channel and as i was downloading the said apk i found this apk named circle to search and i installed and checked if it is what i think it is, because i have a tab s9 ultra where i use circle to search for literally everything.

The app installed and it took some time to prepare and viola! it worked. I have it currently bound to my bixby key and it works like a charm.

If you want to use it then i have the file right here: https://uploadnow.io/f/dMDqFJ0

If it gets deleted from here then simply dm me I'll give it to you and suggest somewhere good where i can upload the file (drive won't let me share it) so everybody can access for indefinite time, as this site only supports 7 day file uploads while it's being downloaded.

Landline can't call phone.

My daughter's daycare for some reason can not call my phone. They've tried multiple times on different days. They can reach my wife's phone no problem, same phone plan but she has an iphone. When they dial my number all they get is silence. I've checked all my settings but don't see anything out of the ordinary from other numbers. Could it possibly be that i dont have a signal when im out of the office? If so why wouldn't it just go to voicemail? Any other suggestions?

What's a worthy upgrade?

Thinking of retiring my 5 year old S10 plus. Got it October 2019 and it's still running smoothly besides the occasional battery degradation warning. It's perfect in all other regards. Battery kinda sucks but I could still get a day out of it if I'm not using it too much. I'd get roughly 4-5ish hours of screen on use out of it. The camera quality is pretty bad compared to some newer phones I've seen too. My boyfriend has an A52 that I bought him for €300 and the camera is a lot better, compared to the €800 I spent on my S10+.

Don't want to break the bank and was looking at the S22 Ultra but honestly not sure... The S10+ is my favorite phone I've ever had and I'm not ready to part ways with it. But with the degrading battery and a small crack in the corner of the screen I wanna start thinking about upgrades. Would prefer something with a better battery and a great camera. Don't need anything too advanced in terms of RAM ect, the 8gbs on the S10+ is perfect for me. Budget is €600.

I'd rather stick to the S Series but not dead set against other Samsung Series. Any ideas are welcomed!

Is OLED burn-in only a thing on larger displays?

I have a Galaxy S10 that I've had since 2019. It uses an OLED display, and I've been using it daily for the past 5+ years. But there are zero signs of burn-in at all. Everything I've read online suggests that it should have had at least some minor burn-in by now. Is burn-in only an issue on larger displays/TVs? Does it not affect smartphones?

Is anyone having fast charging problems again?

Is anyone else having fast charging problems again? My S10+ suddenly stopped fast charging via usbc cord and now won't fast charge wireless anymore either. I only found posts and websites with same problem from a few+ months ago. I've tried so many things to rectify it and have still come up empty. Any help would be much appreciated.

Camera doesnt work on the system camera app but works on third party apps

The camera of this phone stopped working all of a sudden. It would show a "camera failed" text everytime I would open the camera app. At first, I thought the hardware of the camera was broken but I tried in on ig and other social media apps and the camera is working fine, I can even scan qr codes.I have factory resetted and restarted this phone but it's still like that. What should I do?😭

Considering an upgrade

Absolutely love my s10 (I've had 3 lol) but considering upgrading to something newer (my battery life just isn't good enough anymore)

Wondering what options are out there for a smartphone with and earphone jack and expandable storage. I've heard the xperia is very competitive with both those options and an impressive battery life. Wondering what everyone else might think

Losing Root after Reboot

I recently got a second hand device (S10 Exynos variant, SM-G973F). I rooted it for mainly gaming purposes.

A little backstory, my main phone is a S10+ which I rooted a few days after I bought it nearly 6 years ago. I only had to root it once and never had any issues with it but noting that is is still on Android 10 but used the same method to flash magisk. I can reboot my device anywhere and anytime and don't need a PC to retain root.

Coming back to the current situation, my secondhand s10 is on Android 12, One UI 4.1. I patched AP file with magisk and flashed it with Odin like usual. After factory reset and reboot, magisk does what it needs to and viola I have root. But if I am running something that needs to reboot the device or for example want to change/add ram plus it auto reboots (with right key combo) and I lose magisk and it asks me to reinstall magisk and repeat the whole rooting procedure. Unless I am connected to my PC and use the right key combo to gain back root (read and learned about this step on this subreddit, thankfully).

However, is there anyway that I could reboot the device with the right key combo without connecting to PC and retain root? I am not very well versed in these processes. I do have the patience to learn and try. I would appreciate any suggestions on this matter. I have heard a few suggestions on custom roms and kernels, a point towards the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Some apps stopped working with wifi

Hey,

Just recently some of my apps stopped loading on wifi on my phone.

Tried with an iPhone and the same apps are working on it, so it must be my s10e-specific.

Any clues on what might cause this? Restarted my phone several times aswell. And my router.

How to calibrate new battery?

So I just got my S10 battery replaced by a Samsung certified service. I've done a little research on calibrating the battery and I've tried the *#0228# code for resetting the Fuel Gauge and it doesn't work. Also tried using the Self Repair app but it says that my device is not supported. What would you guys recommend doing?
