Yes, I understand that microSDXC is a memory card but in the phone settings, it identifies as SIM 1 and SIM2, which makes me wonder if I can insert a SD in the 2nd SIM slot. Of course, nothing tells me (instructions) whether it is possible or not. According to the specs, it says yes; according...

I had to ditch my S10 and will be getting the S20FE (SM-G780G/DSl 128Gig) with dual sim tray. I've researched this model and some reviewers say the 2nd sim slot can be used by a card and others say no. I'd like to know if this is possible or not before I receive the phone. The seller shows it...

I went to Swappa and got an open box never used S10 since I loved mine so much. 1 yr warranty and if it dies, I'll have saved for a newer Samsung. I tried Samsung dot com and they wouldn't give me a dime for one that wouldn't turn on. I only paid $300 for the new S10. I'm not thrilled but hey...

Rode around for an hour and the wireless charger was charging but when I tried to turn on the phone or even do a forced reboot...nothing. My phone is a perfect paperweight. We can end this thread right now. :) Thanks for everyone's help. :)

No, but the techs at the Samsung repair said it was the motherboard. I'll go out to the car and try. Oh lordy, wouldn't that be something? ;)

But my old one looks like it just came out of the box!!:D Yes and I hope to have it in my hands very soon!! Happy Holidays!!

Hi B.Diddy, thanks, but I took it to an official Samsung repair shop and the mobo is gone. I have an expensive paperweight. Thanks for all your help, everyone. ETA: Mustang, I tried the computer and zero. It didn't even recognize it.

No, I've done that. I've done power only button, power and volume down, P and Vol up. And for over 30 sec. It's charged with a OEM cord that hasn't been used; also with another OEM power cord. I think it's a brick and I'm really not sure what to do next. I've watched a lot of YouTube Vids and...

I had been taking photos and sent them to my email before I turned off the screen and left the phone for a couple hours. When I went to use it again, it was completely unresponsive. I've watched videos that say press power and volume down, plug it into the computer and do the same, etc. and I...

Yes, BitDefender has an option to lock different apps however I couldn't reproduce the glitch while at home. That's because, in BitDefender's genius (I truly mean that), they make it so that if you are at a secured wifi (HOME) the keypad does not require an unlock and is not scrambled...

Mustang7757 and others, no as BitDefender protects it from being taken so silly here, went to BitDefender settings and found the solution there. I had put a lock on it and they scramble the numbers, i.e.7,5,3, 9, 6, instead of 1,2,3,4,5 My apologies for wasting everyone's energy and time. :(...

I thought I was logged in as I am on AndroidCentral but when I go to forums it doesn't like me ;) I'm using Samsung S10 and have a lock screen keypad to unlock my email account. Instead of the numbers being 'normal' they're scrambled. I'm trying to restore them to normal.

That was what I was looking for! Thank you very much.

I have gone through the steps of changing wallpaper and lock screen and the only one I'm able to change is lock screen. I don't have the three icons on the bottom of the selection page that say 'lock screen' 'wallpaper' or 'lock and wallpaper'. See screen shot. I don't know what to do next...

Until 10 days ago my HTC 10 (with 8.0.0) gave me text notifications with one tone and gmail with another: Perfect! I knew who was trying to contact me. Suddenly after a reboot, I'm faced with the same situation as everyone else in this thread. Interestingly, in gmail settings>choose...
