r/GalaxyS23Ultra

Back cover loosen after 2 years of usage bro wtf amd why?? And should I glue it by local shops or Service Centre.

😭😭 i bought the phone 4 months ago and i had back cover I dont know i was playing with edges of back cover then back panel came half out

What to do next

Please suggest

I have heard that recently people who are using s23 ultra is facing green line issue? Has anyone faced this issue or someone else you know is facing this issue?

But two shots at the same time. Not ideal conditions, at all, but the s21 takes what I think is great for the situation of shaded spot through a window. And the s23 ultra looks like my OG Galaxy S.

I literally have to tap my S21 pretty hard to get the lens to focus, and it still pulls ahead...

Bought S21 Ultra from best buy, s23 from back market. I cant imagine that has anything to do with it, but can cameras be swapped?

Settings I could change? Such a bummer to get the storage I wanted in exchange for a usable camera.

Thanks for any ideas.

At 26-30°C outside temperature and indoors on normal usage heavey internet ( social media)

And I have downloaded third party apps background music always on

But whatever 12/256 shouldn't be heated like this.

Any comments please...

To those users who have never experienced pink/green lines and have been using their phones for 3 years or more, what did you do to your phone?

It has been exactly 2 years since I purchased my S23 Ultra, and I suddenly got 4 lines on my display with no clear reason. My phone wasn't overheating when the lines appeared.

Here's my routine:

I usually charge my phone when it reaches around 1-5% and unplug it at around 95%. I don't charge it overnight.

I use an original ASUS ROG 2 adapter with an original Samsung cable. I do use Super Fast Charging.

Lately, I sometimes watch anime, scroll through TikTok/Facebook/Instagram, or play Clash of Clans while charging. I always use Wi-Fi and usually have a fan in front of me, although I can't really tell how hot the phone gets internally.

I play Clash of Clans almost daily, but usually for less than an hour. I also played Mobile Legends occasionally, but only for a short time.

I have never dropped my phone seriously, and I've never intentionally exposed it to water. I do sometimes bring it into the bathroom while showering just to listen to music, but the phone doesn't get wet.

I always updates. Unfortunately, I stopped updating after the lines appeared. The first line appeared about a week after that last updatee, so now I'm wondering if there's any connection.

My apps are mostly in Deep Sleep, and I use Light Performance mode, Adaptive Brightness, Adaptive Motion Smoothness, and Power Saving Mode.

I use a shockproof case and a matte screen protector.

And here's the weirdest part. The lines appeared progressively:

1st line: I was watching TikTok. (July 17)

2nd line: Less than 24 hours later, I was playing Clash of Clans while in front of a fan. (July 18)

3rd line: This one appeared while I was simply reading the diagnostic results at a Samsung Service Center. I was using mobile data, but the phone was not in a case and wasn't hot. The Samsung agent was actually there and witnessed the line appear. (July 21)

4th line: This one suddenly appeared later. I don't remember exactly what I was doing, but I think I was just watching something. (August 10)

Initially, all the lines were pink. Eventually, one of them turned green, so I now have 3 pink lines and 1 green line. (August 8)

The phone has never been abused, and I don't play heavy games for hours. That's why I'm really confused about what caused this.

For those who have been using their Samsung phones for 3+ years without getting pink/green lines, what do you do differently? Is there anything in my usage habits that I might be missing? I'm planning for a LCD replacement 🥲

I recently just switched phones like in the title. I like to always have a backup phone incase the main one has a problem or anything else and for that when I was using the s23u I had the s10+10 fe. The thing is that I want a backup phone that I can unlock the bootloader and my s23u is on the latest patch of one ui 8. I'm wondering if it's still worth waiting for someone to find a way to unlock the bootloader on one ui 8 or should I just sell it and keep the s10+10fe?

What phone should i get to replace my s23u? Planning to replace it since its getting older now and im afraid greenlines might show soon and its value will drop significantly. Non samsung brand recommendations are welcome.

Hello, and thank you for reading my post.

My issue I think is very unique soo I decided to make this post.

3 days ago, I dropped my phone in the sink. I've had the moisture warning pop up before when I would attemptto charge, but it would always go away. After I dropped it in the sink, I attempted to dry it out, but i was constantly getting the warning and alarm every two seconds that I need to unplug the phone as if I had it plugged it. I couldnt get it to stop while I was trying to shake out so I shut the phone off. I left it in the sun for an hour after shaking out as much water as I could. I turned the phone on like normal. And everything seemed fine until I needed to charge it.

I am not getting the moisture warning anymore, but the phone no longer charges unless I use a very old cable that does not come with super fast charging. The only way I can get my phone to charge. Using any charger is if I turn the phone off and plug it in. When I plug it in, I have to wait to see if I get the charging thunderbolt. If I don't get the charging thunderbolt, I have to flip the plug to the other side, assuming this is how it figures out westher or not a phone is capable for fast charge / super fast charge 2.0. I have tried 6 cable and 8 wall plugs from my house and from my workplace.

I loved my S23 Ultra. It was powerful, easy to use, and for me most of all, it took amazing pictures. This weekend to took my trusted S23, turned it upside down and dipped it in the pool to take some video of my granddaughter swimming underwater for the first time. I pulled it out of the pool and video looked great... until it didn't.

See the back of the phone had separated from the body inside the case - I'm assuming from all the days in the Texas heat documenting field work. I didn't know. I never saw this coming. I'm devastated. Can we all take a short moment of silence. 🤦‍♂️

I find this feature the most annoying in all my 13+ years of using Samsung phones, curious to know what you guys think.

Finally I left my s23ultra to the dealer and got vivo x300 pro in exchange . Took me 2 months of yes and no ..the deal was nice and I'll miss my s23 ultra a lot . She was the best phone ever . I just hoped samsung would have not destroyed my 10x zoom with software updates .

Still the journey has been awesome .

Best of luck to everyone who have it and know it's full potential .

My parents are offering to buy a new phone...bought this one in April 2023. Confused if I should buy or wait?
