S10e - broken screen, pattern unlock, unable to mirror

My S10e got run over by a bunch of cars last summer when I dropped it out of my car window. Couldn't find it for 4 hours. The screen does not work at all, totally black.

I know it was "working" the next day and for several more because my alarms would go off.

Finally let the battery die after I got a new phone, and I'm just now trying to get some pictures from the S10e downloaded to alternative storage. I know it has functioning power (it did that tiny vibration when connected to another device) - and my spouse's laptop can "see" the phone (unsure if this means the S10e is powered on or not) when connected directly, but the laptop cannot access any data on the S10e (likely because usb tethering was not enabled on the S10e prior to the incident).

The issue: I cannot get it to mirror the screen to a tv using an hdmi/usb hub with a mouse & keyboard. I've tried Win+W, space bar, drawing a pattern with a mouse, no luck with anything.

(Obviously, Smart Switch doesn't work because I cannot accept the connection on the S10e.)

Help, please!

How long do you plan to use this phone?

I get 2-3 hours of SOT, this damn thing refuses to die, kinda laggy, but still delivers.

I really want to get a new phone after 6 and a half years but DAMN it still works.

Maybe an S10 5G with Android 15?

Hi! So I’m actually considering to buy a Galaxy S10 5G (Exynos variant) but gosh I know how bad the original firmware can be. I’m considering buying it with the hopes I can get it to Android 15 or possibly 16.. Can anyone that bought the phone and downloaded a custom ROM on it tell me how it is? Lags? Performance? Which ROM did you use? Thank you!!!

Donated device (locked)

I volunteer for an organization that refurbs donated laptops for non-profits. In a recent batch of donations, there were a couple of phones including a Galaxy S10 (sm-g973u). We don't get a lot of phones.

This one was sadly not reset by the previous owner, and there's no way to track down who they are to ask for a code or google account.

I'm assuming the only way around this is to reset, get FRP locked, and then hope one of the methods for bypassing the frp still works? It's a shame because it isn't actually locked yet, but I'm guessing there's no real way to get in and reset without triggering the lock, right?

Finally had to let my S10e go and move to an S25

With the potential for a wave of exploits in the next few years due to AI I decided daily using a phone as old as the S10e wasn't a risk I wanted to take any more. Picked the S25 as it was the closest modern phone to the S10e.

As new and fast as the S25 is I really do miss the S10e. It was the perfect size, the fingerprint reader was fast and perfectly placed, and the extra side button was really handy. It really was the perfect phone in so many ways.

The S25 def wins for cameras though. Really decent improvement there. I've got the sidebutton customization working well enough that it replaces what I was using the old S10e Bixby button for. Hate the in screen fingerprint reader and lack of headphone socket. I can definitely adjust but the S10e will probably be the best phone I ever owned.

Data stopped working

Hi. I have an S10 and yesterday the TLE symbol next to the signal strength symbol disappeared and I now data doesn't work.

I can still make calls and the VoLTE symbol is still working.

I put the sim into a spare S9 and data works on it.

In Settings -About Phone -Sim Card Status it says Mobile Network State : Disconnected.

I've restarted and toggled flight mode with no luck.

Android 12 UI4.1

Any ideas?
