I think this is really clutching at straws whilst my Exynos version has none of these issues and it's unfortunate if yours does. but your just as likely to pick up an equally rare SD bug that are reported by some users in US yet none here :rolleyes:

I do appreciate that.

I'm now on 22% with 2.56 SOT and it's only 4:26.

This is a replacement device. My first device had a constant pink hue.

I did restore from Google/Samsung and have read that a restore will solve a few problems but I'm not sure that I can stomach setting up again.

Worked for me, fwiw. It's never easy, but certainly worth the shot.

To jump in on this for a moment, I’ve found that the signal on my S10 and XS Max are the same (approx two bars) at home. The difference being that when someone calls me on the S10, the call doesn’t fail the moment I answer.

I’m on Xfinity (Verizon).

How often does this happen? I can tell that it is often enough that it bothers you. But does it happen half the time? 75% of the time? 90% of the time? Thank you.

Apple Card is so late to the show. Samsung Pay had rewards and credit card perks from your own card company together in one.

Samsung isn't as large as Apple, so they have less clout than Apple. I am sure Apple had Synchrony Bank locked early on (just an example). It's all strategic too, so if Samsung takes more time with the Barclays of the world, they have trouble.

I can't say this anywhere else on the forum for obvious reasons (lol), but Apple Card is absolutely more evidence that Apple is becoming a company that does not align with me personally. And in some ways, they are becoming what they fought against many years ago.

It's actually funny to compare the differences between Apple and Google. Say what you want about Google with their data collection methods, but they actually are working with AI to improve the user experience w/ the Assistant and Google Duplex. Apple, meanwhile, gives us Animoji and Memoji.

Based on usage so far give me Google over apple anyday. Google devices dominate our house now with two Google hubs and now two minis. Got the mini free this week for being a Spotify premium member

This is the last thing I'll say about the topic, so as to keep this thread as on-topic as it can be right now, but there's a lot of irony in this commercial when you look back on it 35 years later.

So I was entering day 10 of conversion from my iPhone XS to the S10 and started feeling the pull back to my iPhone. It’s a strange draw that iOS creates. I’m not sure if it’s the combo of Apple Watch and iPhone, the blue bubbles, or perhaps just the familiarity of being on iOS for so many years; but I felt the pull.

So I popped my sim into my XS for the weekend and for a day or so I had this sense of “ah, there we go. Back where I belong”. But by last night I was immediately wishing for my iPhone to be able to do more...to be more. I was at a Mumford & Sons concert on Saturday night and at one point I went up to the upper balcony to get an overhead photo and noticed a sea of iPhone notches down below. And the sense of “sameness” swept over me and made me long for the S10 again.

I live in the US and iPhones are literally everywhere. Young, old, rich and poor.....it seems like everyone has one. And they all have the same home page of rows of icons. And they all have the same messenger, and same browser, and same camera, and same.......everything.

And don’t get me wrong, the iPhone is a fantastic piece of tech and there’s a reason Apple has sold a sh*t ton of them, but I just long for something different. And that’s not to say the S10 is some niche product. But I can make it mine and that’s ultimately winning for me right now.

So today the SIM card went back into my S10 and I’m feeling it’s going to be staying there for a good long while this time.

TLDR; I was tempted to return to my iPhone for a minute.

Boom that's awesome! And yes I had the same experience at a concert the other night. Notches everywhere!

But yeah you're spot on. Apple has a pull for sure but the S10+ is finally the first Android phone that I feel not only competes with Apple but actually dominates it.

The more you think about it, the likely you are to go back.

It's all about the better product. The Galaxy does more and it's more affordable. That should be good enough imo.
