I sure hope the battery improves over time. I've only used it for 19 minutes and I'm down to 92% from full.

Hmm. All reviews I’ve seen praise battery life. That EverythingApplePro guy even said the S10 (could’ve been the S10E) outperforms even the battery case on his iPhone XS Max.

Still doesn't change the fact on my particular device it's gone down much quicker than expected.
 
Result - buds claim did you through in the end as I recieved the confirmation text and email overnight.
 
Samsung does have a 14 day return window where I'm at. I've returned phones to them before inside that window no questions asked
In the UK Samsung offer a no question 30 day return and refund window. On condition is the phone isn't damaged

Apple offer 14 days no question return and refund and have been known to even accept if theres damage. Damm sometimes Apple doesn't even check the serial numbers upon return.

Another rule here in the UK, if you order online or over the phone the retailer has to offer a 14 day return and refund window on everything they ship, again only exception is no damage.
[doublepost=1552124425][/doublepost]Another FPS trick: remove the first fingerprint you created BEFORE the update and re-add it again. Major performance difference.
 
Fyi, Face unlock flaw...(possibly only when ‘fast unlock’ is enabled, but I’m not sure I’d trust it at all). Most Galaxy users probably stick with the fingerprint sensor anyway.

What phone do you have?
S10+. Resolution is set to max but don't use AOD, limit what apps are used in the background etc.

Before more people start quoting my post saying how good their battery is like the one above (not helpful), I'm well aware how much praise this phone is getting for the battery.

I'm just saying I didn't expect it to drop so much after a full charge and I hope I'll see improvements over the next couple of days. As I assume battery management will adjust.

I'm sure it will settle down once it does its automatic optimisation. If it doesn't then take it back and swap it.
 
Case just turned up from Amazon. Went with a Tozo one.
It's clear with a hard plastic back, but the sides are rubberised. Fits really nicely.

Didn't think I'd like it as much as I do. Was tempted by an official Samsung one (prob silicone) but might just keep rocking this for my trial period with it.
 
For those who like geekbench, here is the score on my S10e on at&t.

when you go in to your current open apps screen is there a way to let you move freely between them all instead of the stuttery moving through one app at a time?
 
Does anyone know whether the Galaxy Gear Sport should charge via the wireless rear charging? I've tried but having no joy.

Edit - Yes it does, got it working!

It might be obvious but have you enabled the wireless power share option? I didn't realise at first when trying out charging another phone.

Maybe you'll have to cancel and reorder. Not ideal but maybe there's been an error of some description.
Yeah and of course Samsung has no idea what's going on. I want the free buds though. I don't trust that they'd honor the promotion.
