    Random disabled fingerprint unlock

    Has anybody gotten this message (Galaxy S10+ with most recent update), which randomly and briefly disables the ability to unlock my phone with my fingerprint? There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to it - it happens two or three times a day, and happens at completely different times every day.

    Sharing options gone?

    The latest update on my Galaxy 10+ seems to have broken so many things I loved about my phone. One that really bothers me is that almost all my sharing options seems to have disappeared. From the photo gallery, for example, I used to be able to scroll and see all kinds of options, like Outlook...

    S10+ battery draining fast and charging slowly.

    After a pretty beefy update a couple of weeks ago, my Galaxy S10+ is losing battery much more rapidly than it did previously, and it's taking right at 50% longer to charge, using a fast wireless charger. I'm not sure if there's an app that's causing the drain, but I'm guessing it's something...

    Screwed my lock screen

    Somehow I managed to alter a security setting of some sort, making it impossible for me to use my fingerprint to unlock my phone. Oddly, it only seems to happen at night. I can use my fingerprint all day, but for some reason it does this in the evening. Does anybody know how I can get rid of this?

    Google chat bug

    I've been using the Google Chat app on a Galaxy S10+ for several months. It's been quirky, but the bugs have always resolved themselves at some point. For the last three weeks or so, with one recipient specifically, my outgoing texts never get past the "delivered" message, even after she's read...

    Chat just disappeared from S10+ and AT&T

    About a week ago, my Google Chat quit working. It had happened before, and I was always able to immediately get it turned back on. This time it didn't ever get past the "trying to verify number" stage. This morning, my S10+ updated, and now I'm getting the "not available for your carrier"...

    Copy/Paste crashes every app I try to use it in

    For the last 3 days, any time I try to copy and paste text with my S10+ - in any app - the app crashes and nothing ends up on my clipboard. I've searched for other instances of this happening and haven't found anything. Is this a known bug, or is it just me?

    Can't go right to "launcher" home screen

    Since my most recent update, my S10+ has been wonky to say the least. I'm not sure if it's related, but the most annoying thing is that when I close out of an app and expect to be at my home screen, I'm at some other version of it. I have to hit the home button to go to my normal home screen...

    Saved passwords with Edge Mobile

    I have my devices synced so that when I change a password, Edge on my desktop syncs the new password across all my devices. It doesn't seem to translate to Edge on my S10+ however. Whenever I change a password, a box pops up for about a tenth of a second and prompts me to tap on "save". However...

    Best way to restore S10+?

    I did a factory reset on my S10+ for a couple of reasons. One, it seems like my battery life was taking a severe hit by something, compared to the excellent battery life I was getting when it was new. Also, I wanted to try the backup/restore feature to see how it compared to Apple and Windows...

    It's the little things that still drive me crazy.

    I've just recently dipped my toes back into the Android waters after 6+ years of Windows/Apple. I did briefly have an Android phone in 2012, but it was not a good experience. I'm now rolling with a Samsung S10+, and while overall I LOVE it, there are still those minor, yet confusing, annoyances...

    Weather app that will update

    I'm trying to find a weather app that will display in the status bar AND update at regular intervals, but it seems hopeless. I read that weatherbug will display on the status bar - and therefore the "always on" screen, but I haven't found a setting to enable this. I've tried Weather Underground...

    Weather app that updates automatically?

    I've tried in vain to find a weather app that has both status bar notification (and thereby "always on" notifcation) AND updates regularly. I read that Weatherbug will do this, but I've not found an option to turn on constant notifications for it. Weather Underground has the status bar option...

    Pop-up notifications size

    When I was first tinkering with my S10+, I found an option to make pop-up notifications, such as text messages, smaller and take up less screen real estate. It apparently was to make them less intrusive when I was already watching a video, etc. Now I can't find that setting to turn it off and...

    Minimizing current app

    One thing that is driving me nuts as a new S10+ owner - whenever I have multiple apps open and I minimize my current app, it slides over to the right, and the app I was using previously is the one in the center of the screen. So whenever I want to close my current app, I often minimize it, then...

    Can't stop notifications with Outlook app

    This isn't a S10 issue per se, but I didn't scroll through the 1,000 other forums to find a more appropriate one. I'm using the Outlook app, and other than the fact that the calendar app is integrated, I'm pretty happy with it. My problem is that even when I turn off notifications, I still get...

    Voicemail integrated with dialer app?

    I'm on my second day in the Android world - my only experience previously is with Windows phone and Apple. I have an unlocked S10+ running on AT&T. I was surprised to not see a 'voicemail' button on the dialer app like on my previous phones. One where I could see a list of voicemails and listen...
