Welcome to Android Central! Is that 29 GB available on Internal Storage or an SD card?

Sorry late reply. It's 29gb internal storage

If I download something the insufficient storage running out notification pops up. And if I stop or cancel the download the notify disappears too

Try wiping the cache partition: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...y-s10/wipe-cache-partition-samsung-galaxy-s10

OK I'll see

Sir, when I did it, options of kinds of reboot was shone while the Samsung logo was displaying in the background. And when I released the buttons. The android displayed as dead with its chest part open and was written below it "No Command"

 

[B. Diddy]

What options do you see?

Here's a video that might be clearer:

Sir, by accident I factory data reset my phone but I'm still sure the notify will pop out soon when I download like PUBG

I have 30gb now but I'm sure that when it reaches 29gb, it will start the same situation I have

Oh I also forgot, even some of my apps say that I need to free up some space like Mobile Legends or Facebook etc.

The minimum internal memory size for this device was 128GB. Sounds like you have a fake device.

I knew it!!!!!! Made in Vietnam my [language redacted by Mod], someone just gave this to me yesterday because he said he had a better phone. Anyways, so my storage situation is a scam on the program?

Should I open the phone to see the real storage, and if it is 32gb, does that mean the system or programming had a problem, and if that problem can be fixed by maybe an app, or with the computer to reprogram or repair the program or etc.?
And if it was like 8gb or 4gb only, then that means they cheated on my friend by programming it to be 32 GB.

OK Go to Play Store and download CPU-Z and run it. Then could you please upload a screenshot of the Device Tab. If you're not sure how to do that, please advise what processor is shown under the Device Tab.
Also Find your phone's IMEI number n the About Phone section of the Android Settings menu. Alternatively, simply type *#06# into the phone’s dialer and a box will pop up with the number. When you have that go to https://www.imei.info/ enter the IMEI number and check it. Please let us know the result.

Most interesting thread of the morning

Wow!! Fake devices can be made so easily these days.

 

[evan waeyan]

This?

There are two imei numbers, a top number and bottom number , what I sent is the top number imei

Is this what u mean by device tab?

 

[methodman89]

There are a few inconsistencies in the specs of a S10+ and what you posted, none of which look promising.
Whoever you got it from yesterday should be contacted.
With such a transaction, I would be hesitant to put my real credentials into it at all.

 

[anon(10614692)]

Thanks for that. OK as you can see IMEI info shows the device as being an AFCOM Brand not Samsung. If you look at the CPU-Z results you will see the processor is an MTK6580. Samsung use Exynos or Snapdragon. Internal storage is 32GB. As I mentioned earlier the minimum storage option for An S10+ is 128GB.
Conclusion: This device is a fake.

Weeew, so there is no way to save my friends x girlfriend? Can't I at least use the 29gb that I have? Because seriously, Even sending and downloading the cpuz and uploading the pics here was a trouble. It didn't notify but the browser did.

How about changing the circuit board? Lol...but I mean it, it's Valentine's.

This phone, of all the people who think they are being spied upon, would be one that actually raises concern. I'll ***-u-me the OS makes it appear as a Samsung Galaxy. They've had plenty of opportunity to load a key logger or some hidden program. Purge the phone of all the personal data.
Change your passwords from a pc, enable 2fa, and shut it down.
I'd microwave it about 8 seconds, personally.
Good luck

 

[evan waeyan]

If there is anything, even say crazy, way to get my 29 gb?

Oh you replied, see what I mean about trouble? Hahaha!!!

Thanks for the knowledge and help, I learned so much from u guys than my teachers, thanks a lot!!!!?

The microwave thing though??? Sounds interesting, Was that a joke or some magic?

Using a microwave oven, for just a few seconds, is a easy way to fry all the microchips.
