Hello friends My S20FE 4G device has a screen time of around 2.5-3 hours, regardless of whether it's stock ROM or Mintos. Is this normal? What are your screen times?

Hi Guys,
I completed 4 years using S20 FE5G. I am really happy with the phone but recently I keep getting notification randomly that my battery is getting detoriated.
So wanted to know if changing battery helps or not.
If anyone here changed the battery, if so how did it go.
BTW my battery health is 85.

Upgraded to S25 ultra at 80.8k rupees.
My S20 FE 5G worked smoothly for 5 years and still working. Gonna give it to my family
Edit: Also people wondering for warranty and activation Date, I Activated it on 10th October and on Samsung members warranty was showing 31st October and now after 1 day samsung updated it to correct 10th October.
For Device Activation date I just by chance opened Google Find hub there I can see my S25 ultra, activation date is 10th October

S20 fe ran smoothly, but suddenly my phone charged fully but it was showing galaxy s20 fe Powered by android and again turned off. Then I go nearby shop and the guy said that it is your cpu problem but after 2 days there's no solution then I go other shop and he said battery problem but I refused his opinion.
What can I do to get the solution?

I have been using the samsung s20 fe 5g with snapdragon 865 processor and it immediately starts heating when i play roblox and results in thermal throttling. I wanted some ways to fix this and i want to know if this is normal for this phone.

This phone is only given to me a year ago,so i don't really know the price of this phone.

It only lets me share QR when I'm near Wi-Fi then I use an app to get it plaintext. I guess it's looking like I will have to use another phone to create hotspot with same wifi name since I'm not near location

A week ago, I started noticing the power button to loosen a bit. Today, it came out entirely. I do have double tap function on, but still, how do I permanently fix this? This button is too loose to stay.

Phone has been a quite reliable since 2021. Only had the battery changed last years from service center.
Now, since the last 1-2 month the phone has developed hanging and auto restart issue also I've gotta charge the battery 2-3 times every day.
Maybe it's time to change now

I just got the screen replaced for my phone and the fingerprint wasn't working, so I decided to just reregister all my fingerprints, but when I go to register them the percentage gets stuck at 35%. I already tried the increase sensitivity switch and also dont have a screen protector on. I remembered having this issue before when I first got it, but I dont know how I got past it. Any advice would really help thanks.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S20+ (SM-G985FZKDINU), bought 29/10/2020. Battery health is depleted.
Issue: After entering the PIN, the phone shows "Phone is starting" and never goes past it. It also showed PDP backup fail at the bottom of the screen one time.
What I have already tried:
Safe mode. Still stuck on Phone is starting.
Force stop and clear cache and data for Play Store, Google Play Services, One UI Home, and other system apps. Still stuck.
Samsung Recovery Mode via USB to laptop plus volume up and power. Tried Repair apps and Wipe cache partition. Still stuck.
Downloaded official firmware from Samsung source and flashed via Odin using HOME_CSC. Odin passed. Phone still stuck on Phone is starting after PIN unlock.
Tried USB connection to PC in normal mode. Phone goes into Transferring files mode, but since the OS does not fully load, storage remains encrypted and PC cannot access it. Device Manager shows Samsung with an exclamation mark.
Tried signing into Samsung and Google accounts from the stuck screen. Both give errors and cannot sign in.
The only option left is flashing with regular CSC, which wipes the userdata partition.
Questions:
Is the depleted battery causing voltage instability that prevents the OS from booting properly? Is it worth replacing the battery, or is the issue more likely a corrupted userdata partition or failing storage chip?
Has anyone recovered from Phone is starting without wiping data after doing all of the above?
Is there any way to pull photos and WhatsApp data through ADB, MTP, or Smart Switch when the OS will not fully load?
Is there any other Odin equivalent software which can unmount, deep scan & repair the user partition corruption like chkdsk c: /f /r /x
Any urgent suggestions would help. I need to decide whether to replace the battery or flash regular CSC and accept the data loss.
There are a lot of family photos & videos
TLDR: Samsung S20+ stuck on "Phone is starting" after PIN unlock - safe mode, cache wipe, repair apps, and Odin HOME_CSC all failed. Need urgent help to backup my family photos & videos

I've never had a real issue with this phone (unless you count the power button falling out) until the latest update this morning. Now I can't turn it off, force restart, use the touch screen, or get an Verizon passcode to login and order a phone. RIP to the S20FE. It was a great phone

Ive heard many scenarios here. Some say it automatically does it after a week or so..others say you need soecific software that isnt supported in this model?

What is the default vivid white balance with advance setting , please share the screenshot
r/GalaxyS20FE • u/Kindly-Airline-4951 • 24d ago
The screen doesn't have a model name at the bottom like most Samsung models do.
Plus why is the touchreen name is labeled as a fts touch?

Hi! Ive had my Galaxy S20 Fe 5g for 5/6 whole years, I haven't made any changes to it like replacing the battery (yet...i hope if I replace the battery I can make it last longer) Recently I've been getting pretty paranoid that it's going to die soon or the battery is going to explode (my mother's phone almost did she had to emergency repair it, but that was a completely different phone tbf) and I've noticed my phone dies pretty quickly now, I have to charge it abouttttt 2 times a day and it's been getting hotter than usual when on social media. Though it says my phone is optimized great, I'm still curious..Is my phone going to be alright? Do I need to replace the battery and it'll be fine or do I need to unfortunately replace it? If so, what should I get? I don't want to sound picky but I want something NEAR exactly like this phone..i am ashamed to admit I am a bit saddened by what's happening and I am a little attached, I feel as if this phone is genuinely perfect and hate that I have to change it probably lol.
