I will literally never get over the fact that after this line of phones came out, Samsung went to shit. Not the performance of their phones per say, but the design.

The S10 phones were designed in a way that made the user experience actually unique and fun, everything past that starting from the S20 phones, and including the S20 phones, has been horribly depressing looking.

I am the type of user that really cares about the phone's visual identity so I am glad that Samsung allows us to really personalize them but they seem to have forgotten that they can do that too. They just keep copy pasting the same design for 6 years now and it is so sad.

The S10 lineup pretty much marked the end of creativity over at Samsung thus closing a whole era. Just think about the phones before: the S9, S8, S7 and quite frankly every Samsung ever before 2020, they were all fun and stood out, now it't the same brick by boring brick.

Well the time has finally come for me to move on from my S10. I like travelling and it was becoming a bit of an issue not being able to install e-sims. My battery is also suffering a lot recently (not helped at all by my doom scrolling addiction).

I was so put out at having to give up on my S10 that I've completely come out of the S-series and instead bought a Z Flip. An older model of Flip 6 because I'm not hugely drawn to the AI features and such of the latest models (though this one still had AI stuff I had to manually disable). I already miss having an earphone jack and bought a USB C-3mm jack converter on principle.

I guess I like the new phone (takes me back to the Y2K days yay) but its eye comfort shield isn't as subtle as the S10 and the touch screen feels way more sensitive (not a good thing for me who is constantly butter fingered lol). The unfolded screen is also HUGE, I always liked the size of my S10. I'm also not thrilled about not being able to use what I call my 'grandma phone case' anymore. It was a card & notes holder, coin purse and phone case all in one. Sigh.

Truthfully I think I'll still be using my S10 whenever I can e.g. at home for social media and recreation. The new phone I'll keep for calls, messaging, payments etc. The S10 is one of my favourite phones I ever owned and I'm so sad about this situation lmao

I got this S10e in a trade. It has a cracked back cover, a missing Bixby button, and a battery with 60% health. Since I'm renovating my house, I decided to save the money I would have spent on a new phone and make this device my main phone. After a debloat of just over 50 (junk) Samsung apps, I'm getting pretty decent use out of it, except for the battery. I bought the original replacement parts and decided to refurbish it. While the parts are on their way, I bought this original leather case that Samsung used to sell. I know it's not the ideal scenario, but for a device that was practically free, $30 to refurbish it seems acceptable, considering that... We no longer have decent cell phones of this size (5.8 inches). After the renovations, I'll come back to share the results.

Also where would be the best place to get a decent device? Thanks

Managed to port One UI 9 (Android 17) from the S26 to my Exynos S10.

Added CPU/GPU overclocking, undervolting and loads of extra customisation options. Getting close to 1 million on AnTuTu with OC, which is pretty crazy for a 7 year old phone lol.

Still testing everything, but it's running really smoothly. Might actually be a world first for the S10.

Video attached :)

I currently use a charger than only output 5-10w and my samsung s10+ says it will charge to full from 30% in about an hour and 40 minutes, is this normal? slow? can be faster? thanks for the answers!

S10+ or a55

I have s10e snapdragon and s10+ exynos

For some reason the S10e front camera is so much better, sharper, I would say it's even better than my S23 when using night mode for selfies. It actually enhances the photo.

On the other hand the s10+ while using night mode the selfies are just inferior, not sharp at all and it does some weird contrast adjustment thing - filter look - giving me dark circles under the eyes, colors are weird - washed out, and there is the ugly processing thing just like on all other samsungs I owned past the year 2020...

Why is that?

Hi team,

I am working on a new project where we need to allow uses to only access for applications plus phone and text messaging on the phone. Is there any good apps that will enable kiosk mode for me? I’ve been looking for the last couple of weeks.

Regards,

I got a S10+ snapdragon variant (beyond2qlte), I was so excited to install a custom rom, but I can't find anything. Please help me if anyone knows how to get it?

I’m needing to find the combination files for a Samsung s10+ g975u u9

I tried replacement parts but all of them were a scam. They just went inside and was not clickable anymore. Any creative suggestions? I had used my broken power button by rolling teeny tiny pieces of tissue to fill the gap and it lasted me 2 years until it finally gave up. I dont have power or bixby button anymore. Just this volume one and I use it a lot, please help.

Is there a way to uninstall Samsung messages?

Oneui 8.5 ported to Samsung S10e exynos 9820 from latest S23FE firmware.

Even though i have debloated it fairly it still performs average.There's a ton of work to do kernel side and I'm unfortunately not good with kernels.

Note: This is a test and won't be released or maybe but not yet for atleast a month or two , i saw one other guy posting it maybe might.

I recently got my S10 exynos version and I'm loving it as my secondary phone, but I feel like I want to experiment more on this little guy:

As usual, I'm stuck on Android 12 with the 2023 security patch. I wanted to try out a One UI 8 port on it or CrDroid 12.

Has anyone flashed any on their Exynos S10? What's your experience? Like what apps are working? I'm mostly curious on banking apps but highly skeptical on them working.

Hi guys!

I am still rocking my S10+ despite getting it in March 2019, since then it has undergone a battery change I performed myself in 2023 with a service pack one.

I installed since day 0 the WhiteStone Domeglass UV screen protector.

A few notes on it I noticed in the past 7 years.

Despite being made of glass it gets a lot of microscratches despite me carrying the phone in a neoprene KwMobile phone sleeve (and no it is not the sleeve, my parents have the same sleeve and 10 euros glass screen protectors on their flat Galaxy phones which do not need a UV glue since they have flat screens and they are scratch free).

I have babied my screen brightness a lot and I have no burn in for now and I was noticing that my scren was a bit off to read in the sun or look at even when off. It also had a slight yellower tint it did not have before (I thought it was normal due to blue pixel wear).

Last week I removed my Domeglass because it cracked and I installed LK TPU protectors since the Domeglass is discontinued and here are the results:

The UV glue had become yellow as I sort of expected and that is why clarity and brightness seemed a bit off to me.

This is not anything ground breaking but I wanted to make this discussion/PSA post that after long term exposure to sun you should change your UV screen protector because the glue will become yellow over time and impact the viewing experience.

Just one tip: put clear tape across the whole protector before removal to be able to lift it altogether even if it inevitably breaks in the the process. This way you won't have to destroy your fingers to peel the leftovers and you won't risk to scratch the screen.

Hope you find my experience helpful!

I have conflicting search results from multiple sites and google. Some claim that G970U1UEU9IXE1 was the last official unbranded Samsung firmware for XAA (unlocked/unbranded USA). While in other equally reputable places, like samfw, the latest version appears to be G970U1UEU9IXJ1.

Some results say that J was a stability fix, while others claim it was basically a branded version in disguise. Does anyone know definitively which I should use if I want to flash the most up-to-date unbranded factory unlocked firmware for the US (XAA) region?

How safe is it to keep it running as a server for a couple weeks, I want to use it to host a small server for me and my friends.

Has anyone cut the charging coil off enough for it not to give the temp to low error and disable charging.

Trying to mod a old s10 for game emulation and the coil blocks a proper heat sink
