I have had a SM-G975U1 1tb model for the last 8 months, and it has developed a worrying flaw. At times it will work perfectly fine, and then while loading a mobile game, gmail, or browsing chrome, the phone will crash and reboot. After booting, it will still be relatively unstable and it usually takes a hard reboot to get it functioning well again. It also shows intermittent pixel artifacting appearing as short green or blue bars scattered in a broken line across the screen. I can only assume this may be indicative of a hardware issue. The phone also tends to restart whenever it is plugged in to charge. I have tried booting into the dev menu to clear the cache and have also performed a factory reset numerous times. This phone has not been through any hard falls, and it's been used in the same car mount as my old note 5 which itself didn't experience any heat related problems from sun exposure. At this point I'm turned off by such a pricey phone turning into such a lemon. Im curious if samsung support can do anything for this, or if I just need to switch brands to something more reliable. While I'd give my old note 5 a solid B any day of the week in terms of reliability, this flagship s10+ is at a D- and sinking fast.

..The best handset you could ever ask for, I mean..big display, water resistance, massive battery, headphone jack, wireless charging..there's no better device that could hand all these to you in one go.

Anonymous, 11 Dec 2019You need to factory reset with big update.I did a factory reset to. I backup all my stuff before doing it. It solved the problems. Just waiting on my paid themes to get updated. But apart from that it's ok. Battery is lasting longer so far. I'm keeping an eye on it. But it will need few updates to make it run even smoother like any updates we get.

Anonymous, 09 Dec 2019Hello Meggi try to restart your wifi router some time WiFi ... moreHi Anonymous. I remember at the start of pie I did have few of these problems. Maybe it will take few months to smooth out. I use whattsapp with friends. But popup view for mgs is not supported in android 10. But I found away around that. So happy with that. Samsung music player is not white anymore. Its coloured now with what ever song I play which is good. QR reader not working. But that's not a big problem. I think I was very skeptic of this update. But after getting these few problems solved i feel bit better with it. So I apologise for my rants on forum about android 10. I don't want to put users off from updating. Not every user will have problems or may never have problems with it. So I hope other users will disregard my comments that I posted as now my mind has changed about android 10. Thanks.

Anonymous, 09 Dec 2019Hello Meggi try to restart your wifi router some time WiFi ... moreHi Anonymous. I did that and still had the problem. So i did it again and rebooted my phone and so far it's working fine now. Wifi is good. Also themes problem is because they need updated for android 10. So it will take months to get them updated. They dont even show up in the designer's portfolio. But they show up in s9 plus in theme store. I've went through some of my paid themes that seem to be working except in contacts which is all white instead of theme colour. But everywhere else theme is fine. So at least for now I can use some. I went iinto cache partition again and cleared cache and rebooted my phone and I'm getting bit longer in battery though not as long as it was on pie. Also I found features that I like , recycle bin in my files and contacts which is good. A few other things. Samsung said they will be sending out bug fixes. So that's good to know. Thank you for your advice:)

Hopefully they will send update to fix these problems. I've read other ppl are having the same issues and some have more than others. I'm just giving my personal opinion with android 10 problems. I'm glad some users are having no problems. And like me some ppl are. Maybe once its smooth out after couple updates it will solve these issues.

Shanki, 09 Dec 2019To answer to your previous question related to theme park, ... moreI posted a reply to you and hasn't shown up. First my phone battery was great on pie. I have Exynos model. I've only apps that I use for banking and online shopping. I went through each app and they are fine. Also since this android 10 update I've had to charge my phone twice a day as battery is draining. Phone heats up. As for my paid themes. Well I've spent a lot of money on themes as I like to customize my phone. Now they are not working. Samsung pushed this update out far too soon. They should have checked it fully before pushing it to the phones. Now I'm left with problems on my s10 plus because of this update which is sooo annoying. Phone was working great before this update!

Shanki, 09 Dec 2019To answer to your previous question related to theme park, ... moreNo. Android 10 started the battery draining and the heating. Wifi problems. I've only few apps that I use which are for banking. I checked the other few apps I have one by one and they are all fine. I've Eynos model and battery was amazing on pie. But since updating to this android 10 all these problems happened. Even paid themes not working which were working great. I'm taking it to samsung centre. It's not normal have to fully charge my phone twice a day with this awful update. Worse ever in my opinion.

I personally do not see any battery drain after updating to Q. Infact i use the Exynos S10plus and battery back up has improved after the update. Usually the battery % is at 20 when i go to bed and after the update its steady between 35-45 for the last 3+ days. The battery drain can be due to some other app. Please check battery usage..

If its salt water then it can get in to motherboard. If swimming in pool chlorine will do the same. Not good for phone. Just google it and you will find answers.
