r/GalaxyS23Ultra

so I lost my spen in a very unfortunate set of events and after hearing that human replacement was OEM for air actions and then seeing the price tag on it I figured I was just going to buy a cheap knockoff and pretend until I get over replacing what else I lost with the pen... 😂 front and back replacements... so I go buy a little spen knockoff....Amazon style... and it shows up today not even in a box....a small scratch to its side... hard to notice... but i did...😞..and I just put it in the phone I didn't think nothing of it...hour later i come pick up my phone and.... it's located my S Pen.... this is an actual original OEM spen... 😱 lol... what are the chances... even the Amazon site says it is not Bluetooth.. however I'm not going to look the gifthorse in the mouth. #Win

Hello ... like said in the title, i have a problem with the fingerprint sensor on my s23 Ultra ... I receive my phone 1 week ago and there was no problem at all, but 2h ago i got a new problem, my fingerprint sensor detect a finger sometime for a millisecond even if i dont touch my screen. Like, my phone is one my desk, i have always on display activated, and then sometime i see the fingerprint sensor logo which suddenly appear and a notification just above the logo saying to touch it longer to unlock ... but beside this, really no problem with the sensor. No random click on the phone so its really the sensor, if i wnat to unlock with the sensor it detect my finger instantly, etc. ... just sometime it detect my finger without touching my screen. Do you have a solution ? that bother me .... i have already restated my phone, clean my screen, disactivate and reactivate the fingerprint sensor, but nothing

OK so I can have an app that I specify as "deep sleeping" which should never run in the background, however when I go the app settings it offers "force close" so how can it be running and be closed when it's explicitly told not to?

i dont need no i shoudlnt crack my screen yada yada realistic broke college student solutions on having a working phone.

I replaced my screen twice so far at a mall shop and the screen is tweaking now where my phone is genuinely unusable. I need a samsung i can realistically use that is of the same level at s23 ultra because i want my stuff to transfer over and all that. I am with tmobile and they have their trade in shit but i need the notes and pen things for samsung because i college student and i like . However, the trade in for s26 ultra dont even work because my phone is not in good condition...

my main values are being able to transfer all the stuff i already have on my phone and get a notes feature of the similar vain even if its a tablet.

Considering the price for an on brand screen all that itll be liek 200 bucks. i need some kind of good deal thats worth my money idk what to do. and considering this the 3rd time im replacing it..

options mix match anything. just want phone to use plz

Hey everyone!

I have a Samsung S23 Ultra which I'm using for almost 2 years now, I want to use my phone without a cover on - to feel the phone as it is made. Is there anyone who have been using without a protective cover, what are the downsides, how is the durability?

Is there any way to install the One UI 8.5 beta in other countries? I'm on the March 2026 security build. Is there any way of installing it with a PC?

Should I stick with this March patch? I'm on the January patch right now and it's perfect for me.

I’m sharing this because more and more I feel like what I’ve been doing might be related to why I haven’t gotten any screen lines yet (fingers crossed it stays that way). If it helps even one person avoid it, even better 🙂

I’ve had my phone since about a month after launch, so it’s around 3 years old now. I’ve used it as both my personal and work phone thanks to dual SIM, so it definitely hasn’t been sitting idle in a drawer. I’m on my third case and I’ve lost count of screen protectors, but it’s been at least five.

That said, from day one I’ve followed a few habits that might have helped me avoid the screen line issue so far:

First, I almost never use max brightness, except briefly under direct sunlight. For at least half of its lifetime, I’ve used reduced brightness and dark themes with black backgrounds, mainly to make it last longer.

I also never leave it in the sun for long and try to avoid overheating. Wireless charging is pretty bad for heat unless you have a ventilated charger like I do in my car, with AC airflow behind it, especially in summer. Slow charging whenever possible, it generates less heat.

But the most important thing, and the one that will probably sound ridiculous to many people:

With every "the forbidden process that must not be named or the post gets removed”, I put the phone in the fridge for 5–10 minutes first. Then I "the forbidden process that must not be named or the post gets removed” it while it’s still cool, sometimes even with a fan blowing on it in a dry place to avoid condensation during the "the forbidden process that must not be named or the post gets removed”. This is important because condensation is obviously not great for electronics. A couple of times I’ve even put it in a sealed bag in the fridge and let it "the forbidden process that must not be named or the post gets removed” inside.

Some people might laugh at this, and fair enough 😄 but I have this theory that these phones, with their very bright displays, can basically “burn themselves” if the screen and processor are pushed hard for long periods (as happens during "the forbidden process that must not be named or the post gets removed”). Seeing so many cases where lines appear right after an "the forbidden process that must not be named or the post gets removed” or after heavy use… I’m honestly starting to think that this little “just in case” routine of mine might not be that crazy after all.

Clearly this seems like a design issue, and manufacturers don’t appear too concerned as long as it happens outside warranty. But it does make sense that a flex cable, chips, or an OLED panel could get damaged above certain temperatures, especially after years of use and repeated heating cycles.

Let me know what you think of my slightly absurd idea 😉

Sorry for mentioning the “forbidden process that must not be named” so much, but to post this I had to remove a lot of things because the moderation bot barely lets anything through, and the last bit about the “forbidden process that must not be named” honestly just made me laugh 😄
