So I have just found I am not able to shutdown/restart my phone. IDK if that means this is malware or what...but any suggestions how I would be able to shutdown? I have tried holding the power button for 30+ seconds.

How do I do this? It's been a while since I went into the bootloader or did anything advanced with my phone.

It could be an app. I was looking online for a task manager type application but it seems those only work with root access, is that true?

Hey all. I have a weird issue. Occasionally, my phone will seemingly stop responding to OS input actions. So within apps, everything works, but things like the home/back button, opening apps from the home screen don't work. After experimenting with this I found that pulling down the notification...

These are my thoughts exactly. The reader on my S9+ was accurate, fast, and easy. So while the ultrasonic is cool and saves space on the back of the phone...it doesn't really serve any purpose other than slowing me down in getting into my phone. I'm sure in 2 years/generations, it's going to be...

So I've run into an issue that I haven't encountered before and I think it may have something to do with the battery settings on the Spotify app. I have spotify on my phone, but listen on the computer while at work. I leave my phone in my car so it has 0 use all during the day. Yesterday I came...

One of my issues with using routines that utilize GPS as the "trigger" is that any battery savings realized by turning things off by location will be reduced or reversed completely by the fact that your phone is going to be checking location constantly for the routine. I then decided that I...

Yeah I guess different people like different things. I just LOVE the premium metal feel around the sides of my s9+. i'm not sure if it's the same on the regular s9 though. I watched the video suggested above and sure enough it is metal. but i wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't seen someone...

Hey all, I've never used wireless charging, but I am interested in buying a pad and using the powershare feature to charge my galaxy buds when i get them (if i ever get them). I have a pop socket on the back of my phone and really can't do without it (it improved my grip so much and I use it to...

I'll take a look. I would be amazed if it's the same build quality. I legit thought that perhaps, somehow, samsung put a S10e in my s10 box. This thing feels like a toy. sounds like plastic, feels like plastic. I'll keep using it to see if it grows on me. Any idea if the s10+ is any different...

I am coming from a S9+ and going to a S10 and was looking forward to a slightly smaller phone in general as well as the various upgrades via my Jump on Demand. I have 2 main gripes and I was wondering if anyone else agreed: 1) The fingerprint reader is noticeably slower than the one on the S9+...
