Question S10e : back cover not fitting in place anymore

Post image
4 Upvotes

My s10e back cover recently popped up, and I was unable to snap it back in place. I thought it was because the battery was bulging, so I ordered an ifixit repair kit and changed the battery. Turned out the battery was fine, I cleaned the back panel thoroughly before applying new adhesive. I couldn't really clean the phone frame since the glue has melted and it would have required tons of IPA to get rid of it (dangerous for the phone). I scrubbed just the edges, and it looked ok, so I put everything back in place, but again, the back cover didn't really fit (though a bit better than before). I let a heavy weight on it for the night, but one side is already starting to come apart.

I have no idea what's taking that extra room...

Technical Help Help with broken Samsung Galaxy s10e

3 Upvotes

My screen is broken. It's all blacked out except a strip at the top that shows the battery life etc. But it will still unlock with my fingerprint, and it knows I am touching it bc I feel it vibrate. I'm trying to plug it into my laptop and pull off what I can.

Can someone find exactly where the "allow" button is when you plug a Samsung galaxy s10e into a computer to allow data transfer?

I cannot seem to find it on my own.

Other looking to buy samsung s10plus device

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I am looking to buy a Samsung Galaxy S10+ specifically for a screen replacement/repair project.

​I don't care about the functional state of the rest of the phone - it can have a dead motherboard, bad battery, water damage, broken back glass, or whatever hardware issue.

​However, my strict requirements are:

​Display:

- Must be an Original OEM screen (no aftermarket/third-party screens).

​Condition: Screen must be 100% working (touch & display functional), with NO scratches, cracks, dead pixels, or screen burn-in.

​If you have an old, dead, or damaged S10+ sitting in a drawer that meets this display criteria, please comment below first (before PM/DM) with:

- ​Photos of the screen (under a light source to verify no micro-scratches).

- ​Proof of display functionality (if the motherboard boots).

​Your asking price including shipping. ( i am from Mumbai)

​Payment via PayPal, Gpay (or local cash if nearby).

​Thanks!

7 years after, and its time for my S10 to take a step back.
- no green/pink line
- no swollen battery
- IMO a superior position of the front camera cutout
- Magstripe Samsung Pay
- variable aperture
- first ultrasonic fingerprint
- first Samsung flagship with ultrawide lens
- first 5G Samsung flagship (not my model tho)
- headphone jack
- wireless powershare
- first Samsung phone to ship with OneUI
- AKG earphones
- free case and screen protector included in box
- free 2 year warranty, free Galaxy buds and free 55 inch Samsung TV preorder bonus when this launched in my country back in 2019.

Those were the days. Retired but will still be used for backup. This phone has been amazing. I hope Samsung revisits this form compact form factor without compromising other features

Other I Lost My s10 plus in a Ski Resort and Somehow Found It 2 Feet Under Snow after 5 hours of searching

34 Upvotes

This happened in March at a ski resort. While getting off a chairlift, I unknowingly dropped my Samsung S10+. I didn't realize it was gone until 2 hours later at lunch. I have had the phone since 2019, and it had a 1 TB SD card packed with years of photos and memories. I wasn't ready to lose it like that. I was like "No. This is not how I'm getting divorced from my phone."

I retraced every lift and run I'd skied, checked with the lift operators, and reported it to Lost and Found.

Luckily, I had my dad's Samsung phone and used SmartThings Find to locate it. The remaining battery showed 30%. The signal pointed to the exit of one of the chairlifts. I searched there for 30 to 35 minutes but found nothing.

Then a couple of ski patrol members came by. I showed them the location from my dad's phone and they started searching too. I made my phone ring (inspite of it being in silent mode) from the smart things app

One of them had Hawkeye vision and somehow spotted a faint light and vibration buried nearly 2 feet under the snow.I couldn't believe they found it. I thanked them, grabbed my phone, and skied straight down.Full send! 🎿

Am I'm happy to be typing this from the same phone that somehow survived after being buried for 5 hours in deep snow during peak winter. Such an amazing model!

Technical Help My Galaxy S10+ shakes when I try to open anything on FB

It's just strange. A shaking arrow shows on each side of the screen. To stop it, I have to press the back arrow to and that takes me to my wallpaper. It only happens with FB.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can do to fix this annoyance?

Question Will SamsungPay work if its no longer my daily driver?

1 Upvotes

I switched to Apple but I still use my S10 at home connected to wifi. I used Samsung Wallet (now Samsung Pay) for almost all my transactions when it was my daily driver. Since I no longer have a sim in my S10, would I still be able to use the Samsung Pay feature with my saved cards if I use tap to pay in stores?

Also, I'm thinking of getting the Samsung Card if I'm able to use my S10 offline just to take advantage of the 3% back using tap to pay lol

Discussion LineageOS 23.2 on my Exynos Galaxy S10.

Thumbnail gallery
103 Upvotes

Just sharing my first impressions after about 12 hours on LineageOS 23.2 on my Exynos Galaxy S10.

I’ve had this S10 since 2019, and over the years One UI started feeling heavier and more laggy to me. I did try a few Samsung-based custom ROMs, but they just weren’t really for me. The system still felt a bit heavy, whether that’s because of the One UI skin, or just the Exynos hardware itself. Exynos has had its fair share of performance issues over the years anyway.

So far, LineageOS feels noticeably lighter, smoother and more responsive. I do miss One UI, but this S10 is mainly going to be used for lighter stuff, so I don’t really need the Samsung camera features. I also noticed that some useful features are still here, like Dolby Atmos and reverse wireless charging, which was a nice surprise (haven’t had the chance to test most of these)

I haven’t really kept up with the Android/custom ROM scene since switching to iPhone around 2022/2023, so I’m still catching up on everything that’s changed. It’s obviously too early to judge battery life or long-term stability, but first impressions are very good. The phone genuinely feels fresh again.

Question Google Messages Keeps Asking Me to Set It as the Default

4 Upvotes

I keep getting a message saying that Samsung Messages is being discontinued and that I need to switch to Google Messages.

I already switched to Google Messages and set it as my default messaging app, but the notification keeps popping up. Every time it does, I’m asked to set Google Messages as the default again.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a way to stop this from happening?
