r/galaxys10

Ive seen it said that this phone uses android 11 so shouldnt be affected, but under specs, my phone says Android 12 not 11

So I have to switch?

Dont want google, what other (fairly easy) options do I have? That are just as easy as samsung or better?

Unfortunately I need texts for work, seems like actually speaking to someone is out of vogue. Id rather discuss for 5 min than 50 texts.

Help!

I recently bought an S10e Exynos version as its support by Lineage OS. However, there is no OEM unlock option in dev mode. I tried a lot of tips n tricks reset a bunch of times, waited 7days after reset, changed date n time, set up only with Wi-Fi. Still no luck.

Can anyone help here.

Hi, I recently got an S10 which I planned on using for Gear VR (I know Gear VR is shut down but there are ways to get it working again). Since my phone is on Android 12, it can't run it so I have no reason to use it any more.

What are the best things I can do with an old phone like this, I don't want it to go to waste.

Hello,

Someone know if there is (or will) a one ui 8.5 custom rom for s10 series ? Artisan stops his port for s10 series so we cant except 8.5 from him

Mujhe Samsung s25 ultra bohot acha laga lekin uska battery backup sab bol rahe hai bahut kam hai. Samsung ka latest 26 mujhe 1,04,000 me mil raha lekin uska design acha nahi hai. Mujhe iphone lena chahiye ya phir samsung hi ya phr koi aur phone. Plzzzz neeeed helppppp.

Hi everyone, I have an S10 Plus. Its battery life was never great, but lately, I’ve had to charge it about three times a day just to keep it going.

I already have many features turned off—such as Always On Display, CPU limited to 70% via battery saver, screen timeout set to 30 seconds, NFC off, wireless charging disabled, and reduced scanning for Wi-Fi and open networks. Even so, power consumption remains high; furthermore, the device gets very hot—it's impossible to use without a protective case and screen protector.

It’s draining about 10% of the battery per hour with the screen off. If I’m away from home for about four hours without even using it, the charge drops to 60%–70%. Is this rate of discharge normal?

When it hits 15%, the situation gets much worse; the battery drains completely in less than 5–10 minutes of screen-on time. That’s why I carry a power bank in my bag now.

Basically, I spend most of my time worrying about whether I can rely on my phone when I need it. In the last week alone, it’s left me in a bind twice because of this.

According to AccuBattery, the battery health is at 70%, and Samsung’s diagnostics report poor battery health. (I sometimes get pop-ups warning that battery performance might be reduced and recommending a visit to Samsung Service.) The label on the battery has the date 2019/02.

Any suggestions? Should I replace the battery? If so, which brand should I buy? Deji, Nohon, or something else?

I'm confused between the two. Both are similarly priced in my country and fit my budget. I'm a college student and I need the tablet mostly for note taking, studying and slight media consumption (netlix & youtube) and occasional digital art. I don't do gaming at all.

Due to the nature of my degree, I will need to download lots and LOTS of pdfs, mainly reference textbooks that have like 500+ pages. I know that s10 fe has better specs but I really don't know whether 128 gb is enough for my use case.

What I do know is that I want nothing less than 8gb RAM, which both options have.

Ps- pls don't suggest me ipad or any other brand. I want samsung only since I like the spen.

Right now what I do is, I plug my phone in to my computer, browse over to the drive my phone was assigned, and then manually copy files over to my PC, one drive at a time.

Surely there is an easier way?

I remember my mom and dad having a galaxy s10 and me playing minion rush on it and im downgrading from a iphone 15 pro to a samsung galaxy s10+ 5g cause i dont care about being cool i just want something that works goddammit

I am currently looking for a new case until this phone gives out. It generally needs to be somewhat good looking, not bulky, and feel nice in your hand. Is there anything you can fully recommend?

Best regards

Hello, I updated my Samsung health and I can no longer measure my BPM with the application? It just keeps taking me to order pages of the samsung watch... :'D

So my phone wont get past the "phone is starting" screen that pops up AFTER unlocking it. Ive deleted all the apps i could and tried to update it. Wont get past that screen.

Took it to a shop to get the battery and nfc coil replaced and nothing. I dont want to system restore it because im positive it wont fix the problem and the guys solution was just that and he gave me a shit eating grin and said "lol just use your back ups bro lol system restore and use your back ups bro lol 100000000% of everything will be restored lol and lol."

But i dont even know what DIDNT get backed up. I know some things probably didnt so i dont want to do that. Especially after i already tried to delete everything. I cant make any progress on this at all and all ive heard is to delete system cache but ive tried that too and NOTHING.

Theres apparently nothing else to be done despite this apparently being a common issue for the s10. Maybe i had too many tabs open on brave browser? Idfk man but i feel like im going to smack this phone out of frustration eventually and breathe in that sweet yummy smoke from the battery being cut by the shattered glass or metal.

Id love to hear any suggestions. Thank you.

I keep on seeing people joining with their fresh, just bought S10. It's a wonderful device and I had it for years as well. But its last security update, at least for EMEA market, was in October 2023. In 2024 Samsung aknowledged the first vulnerability, CVE-2024-44068 reported in the same period. In 2025 a second vulnerability was aknowledged by Samsung: CVE-2025‐27374, reported at the end of 2025.

I'll link the pages in comments as I can't do it here.

It's not a cheap device to fix, it has a peculiar display, and it has reached it's end of life with its OEM Android. My advice would be to switch to any custom ROM that still has security updates.

It stays in place but I can easily peel it off now. Worried about water seeping through.

im planning to buy an iem. since the phone alr have a headphone jack so i was a bit doubtful that whether the type c port support audio output.

Everything on my S10+ works except the screen—it's dead (black screen). I’d like to recover all the files from my Galaxy S10+; how can I do that ? I just heard the notification sound for a new text message—does that mean my phone is unlocked? When I connect it via a USB-C to USB-C cable, Windows detects it, but the folder appears empty when I double-click on it. Is it possible to use a USB-C to HDMI cable ? , thanx in advance
