I liked the S10e and S10 back in the day, but I don't have them now.

If anyone wants to sell with a good offer, I'll buy.

I'm from India.

Opened my phone case after a while today and found that the back of my phone has cracks (it looks less like swelling and more like it fell down which it has, but the case is perfectly okay 😂😅), and the phone has been heating like anything off late especially while charging. Is this serious?

Hi guys! My daily driver is my March 2019 S10+. It is currently running One UI 2.1 and Android 10 since locked updates on purpose. I come from the OG 2019 Galaxy Buds.

As you know the Buds Manager app requires Android 12 for the Buds 4 Pro however the Buds will work om Android 10.

Here are my 2 cents so far: the audio quality improvement and mic quality during calls is massive.

As for being operational you'll need a device running Android 12 to set the up.

The only thing I have noticed is that touch settings default to their stock only when connected to my S10+ with Android 10 (so the hold to cycle ambient sound etc... can't turn it off as by default it is not an option and you need to configure that inside the app). Switching to my Android 12 tablet immediately has the Buds working as I set them up.

As for the codec don't worry! It won't use Samsung Seamless Codec as it requires Android 12 however it will default to Samsung Scalable Codec (the same of the OG Buds) rather than AAC or SBC!

If you have any questions just ask!

My old galaxy s10 just wont get past the starting screen. The most i can do is go to settings but other than that, its unusable.

When i plug the charger it pops up a battery symbol and apparently my phone isnt warm enough to function.

I replaced the battery with an ifixit purchase but i think theres a connecting part to the battery that needs to be replaced and thats beyond DIY for me.

I dont think a factory reset would work but maybe its a memory issue? I had like an ungodly amount of tabs open on the browser i was using but idk what i could do about that anyway.

Anyone else ever have this issue?

I revived my S10+.

Perfection. Super high PPI that I love to read, and nice vivid colors. Feels good in the hand, ladies you know the procedures.

Compared to this my S25 is kinda boring. And I don't like the color on new galaxies, way too dull, they took away the ultra vividness of amoled. I plan to switch to S25 Ultra to feel the same wow as my S10+ but damn the bar is high. Love this device.

In case you guys didn't know, Whatsapp saves images and videos twice, one in the gallery and one in the text strand. Deleting it in the gallery does not delete it in the text strand. But, deleting it in the text strand will delete it in the gallery. Sometimes it asks "keep in the gallery/remove from this device?" sometimes it doesn't, which is stupid.

Long story short, I was doing the latter, clearing the text strand images and videos without realizing I basically deleted every Whatsapp image and video in the gallery. No problem, I'll check the trash, since an Android has a 30 day window for deleted media...aaand Whatsapp bypasses that (for whatever obnoxious reason).

I logged onto a computer and I was able to get the first month back (despite Whatsapp claiming "we don't keep your photos since we're end-to-end encrypted", sure). But everything else is still gone (7 years worth). And before you ask, no, I never paid for the Google Photos so it's been backed up since 2022.

I know, I'm dumb, I've learned my lesson. But how possible is it to dig deep into the phone storage and find it? The storage is definitely less (showing it no longer exists) but is there a way to recover any of these photos and videos through metadata? It has to be lurking around somewhere since it just completely skipped the trash bin. Disk Digger wasn't able to find it.

Or is there a way to recover this folder:

InternalStorage/Android/Media/com.Whatsapp/Media

I wanted a s10e bc yea

One is clearly my phone, which I bought in 2019. The other one I don’t recognize at all, and it looks like it was added in December 2025. I only noticed it after logging into my account just now.

Should I just delete it? Or contact Samsung ?

When I go to Samsung find my phone , I find only my registered device

my android galaxy s10 was showing a "Warning Camera Failed" pop up whenever i opened my camera app. i was only able to open my front camera on other apps with camera permissions, but not the back camera.

this morning i go to take a photo of my cat at the sink with the front of my phones camera and lo and behold... the back one works.

my phone is completely falling apart. the back of it is taped along with my volume button that pops out if not taped up. so this couldve just been an internal error that fixed itself or something loose that got fixed from me fumbling it.

but i also cleaned out my file apps trash earlier this morning and am wondering if it couldve been an APK file that i installed causing it. i know next to nothing about phones when it comes to what could happen to them virus-relating.

so im wondering if i should still be worried or not or get it looked at atleast.

Hi! So, I'm going to get a new phone and would like your advice. I heard the S10+ is one of the best phones, but it is really? Would I miss on something important if I go for one of the other two?

On a side note, I heard from my friends their battery last long enough for the day, but I keep on reading how it actually is the S10+'s biggest flaw. Do you have any tips to make it last longer? I don't know much about lithium batteries, am I supossed to keep it always between 20% and 80%?

What about the screen burn-in? I guess I should avoid using too high brightness?

Thanks to y'all for any help!

I've been okay with the poor battery life and slower speeds, but earlier this week I randomly noticed that the back cover of my s10 was coming off, could've potentially been a "spicy pillow" scenario, so I decided it was finally time to upgrade.

It's been a good 7 years, I hope my new s26 can last me just as long.

I've been having trouble with the battery life amongst other issues and as I removed my phone case today I realize the back cover is slowly popping off, much more obvious only the side with the battery. I fear the battery might be swollen. While I could just replace the battery I think it's time to lay my s10 to rest. I got it when it was released and it has lasted me a solid 7 years.

I love my s10 and I've been stubborn about upgrading, so I have not researched or paid attention to the new phones at all. I'm wondering what are people upgrading to? S25, S26, iphone 17 and your reasoning? Will do more research but I'm worried I might have to make a decision quick with a swollen battery. I want a phone that will last me about the same time the s10 lasted me and prefer a smaller display so I'm not looking at the plus/ultra versions. Based on the US

First of all i i did all the steps the tutorial tells me to do ( the repartition ect .. ) and when it comes to flashing the rom zip its say ; zip corrupted , tried with another zip same .... something weird also when i try to move the zip from windows to the s10 using twrp its deosnt work i just get the windows error sound , until i used adb maybe its because of the roim size ? 5.03 gb , but why does it work in the youtube video , i even reflashed a stock rom and retryed from a clean base , same result any idea ???

I just got a refurbished s10 to replace my broken one and every time I'm in a call, if I try to use any other app the phone app pops back up. I swipe it away and a few seconds later it goes right back to the phone app. Anyone seen this before? Any ideas?

My device a S10+ Ui 3.1 and a decent age at least from 2020 maybe but always been strong is acting a bit slower then usual after a hour or so of use it becomes really annoying online

its battery life seems less and goes from 2:50pm-5:14pm and then has 59% battery left on basic power saving mode wich feels weaker than non saving mode when i had the device before and played around 3:30-6:30pm and had 60% battery

I restart the device and can use it as usual but it resets

This has been going on since around yesterday

Should i upgrade to One ui4 from ui 3.1 wich is my current ui?

should i have a new battery?

i dont have the current money for a new device due to being broke but i would like to know future phones aswell as i know i probally wont have more than a year or two max with this as its a old tough cookie but yeah

Im not a techy person so sorry if im doing stupid stuff lol or not understanding things

my uncle's galaxy s10 doesn't have heart rate measurement in the health app, why?
