r/GalaxyS23

My S23 just had a drop and now the power button is not working. While I am trying to get it fixed asap, I wanted to know if the S23 will power on automatically once plugged in to charger (if shutdown due to low battery)? Or if there is any other way to power it on except the power button?

I got approx 2 hr SOT after updating to Oneui 8.5 in my Galaxy S23. I was searching for a solution and came to know about the Hail app with Sizuku. I suspended the unused app and getting a good battery like the previous.

hello, is it worth it to have S23 with green and pink lines replaced?

just had the batt replaced 6 months ago and everything is working fine except for the screen. i'm still a student and will get a new phone in around 1.5-2 years from parents.

i don't want to buy mid range or another flagship from my own money since i just had this repaired + might get lines again. any experiences or input will be appreciated. thank you!

Been reading a lot of people's S23 getting lines through screens and/or dying. Scary, I'm trying to hold onto mine till someone comes out with a Si-C battery lol.

Hello! I'm looking to get a new refurbished phone to replace my Galaxy A13 5G (which has always been very laggy btw), and I'm hesitating between S23 (250$ CAD) and S24 (450$ CAD).

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to phone specs and if they're actually good, so that's why I'm looking for some guidance.

I'm mainly looking for a phone that will be durable, and I'm not very concerned with performance (I just don't want it to be laggy, my A13 has scarred me). The only game I play is Old School RuneScape which doesn't require a lot of specs.

I've seen reviews from 1-2 years ago saying that S23 might be better, but I'm curious to see how that holds up in 2026 since they said that S23's final update will be in 2027.

Thanks in advance :)

Hola espero se encuentren bien dios les bendiga a todos hace un mes compre mi S23 usado Liberado para cualquier Red pero es siempre De La operadoraDe AT&T Y tengo miedo que Mi S23 quede olvidado Y no tengo Computadora Alguien me da consejos Gracias

My 3.5 year old S23 (bought in Feb '23) seems to have died today. Everything was normal until I unlocked the phone, 2 seconds later it froze with a few visual artifacts, then it went black. It's been an hour and it still won't respond to any button combinations. It does light up any charger I plug it into (wired or wireless). It did the latest security update about 2 days ago. According to Life360, the phone had ~43% battery.

Anyone have any advice or a similar experience?

I'm using Samsung S23 Ultra Global variant and I want to update as it's stuck on OneUI 7.0. What are the process and how should I update.

I noticed many people having trouble with picture quality(for those without these problems, I am happy for you).
Report all of these problems to Samsung Members it should get their attention. This seems like a software issue related to the latest update

Hi,

I just wanted to share that I updated to OneUI 8.5 and the phone is alright. No issues for now. I haven't tested every single feature of the phone, but for now it works.

No hardware issues like defect battery or display.

I am from Eastern Europe.

Hope I helped.

Cheers!

Is anyone else experiencing this on their Galaxy S23?

My battery behaves normally until around 15%, and then it goes completely crazy:

15% → 14% → 11% → 9% → 8% → 7% → 6% → 5% ... and then suddenly 1%.

It feels like the battery percentage is completely inaccurate below 15%. The phone doesn't even give me a chance to use those last few percent.

Is this a battery calibration issue, a One UI bug, or does it mean my battery is degrading? Has anyone managed to fix it?

Any help would be appreciated because this is getting really frustrating.

I’ve been scrolling through a ton of used listings lately like facebook marketplace and it blew my mind how much better the S23 Plus holds up over time compared to the Ultra even if it's listed as "good condition" it usually looks like a cheap, worn-out android device meanwhile, used S23 Plus still look super premium, clean, and minimalist can someone explain on why is that?

So I usually just use my samsung 25w charger upto 80% charge cap. Now it's really inconvenient for me to carry three chargers , one for my laptop, another for my secondary phone which charges at 45w and my samsung charger. I'm a battery gatekeeper and want it to be on its full capacity for as long as I can. So if I charge it with my Lenovo laptop which is 65 watts which is just convenient, will it eff my battery health up? Please help me out.

I have a mild (hard-to-notice) thin green line in the middle of the screen. I haven't updated it since its purchase, and the phone has no dents or water issues. All of a sudden, it appeared.

The phone was purchased in Chennai (May 2024). Upon calling the service center, they said the cost of the screen is around 12,000 rupees. I always use dark mode, and my wallpaper is also black. But I am sure it is a hardware issue because while checking with *#0*#, the line clearly appears on the green color but is not visible with red and blue for display checking. Kind help as I am not ready to pay 12k. Thank you in advance.

Gente mi s23 no enfoca cuando tomo fotos o grabo con zoom x1 y x2.

A alguien le ha pasado lo mismo? Creen que sea una avería física o mal configuración?

Basically title. I've updated to One UI 8.5 some days/weeks ago, but I noticed I had TWO HOURS of screen on time yesterday and three hours today, and that was both with basic usage, mostly WhatsApp. What the hell is up with that? Anyone else experiencing something like this and/or any solutions? Because that's non acceptable. Thanks in advance, y'all.

I tried using aBattery and Shizuku to get system permissions with no results. Do you really need an account to access it through the diagnostics in the Members app? That's pretty absurd if so.

Is the fact that my storage is 95% full really impacing the performance? Because the phone can barely function when 2 or 3 apps are running, like spotify and a gym tracking app, everything is so slow and laggy. Once in a while phone is silky smooth, but still a little bit laggy.

Restarted the phone, and it's somewhat okay, but a day or 2 later it will be the same. I regularly restart the phone and use app optimizer.
