Are you guys sure it's not the mechanical aperture click? People have reported hearing it close and open when starting the camera. It's normal.
Ha! You nailed it! That is what is causing the click. I confirmed by watching the physical camera when I opened the camera app.

It's been awhile but I looked before and didn't find a way to disable it.
I get the same sound also when I open close the camera settings.

I know in my car it actually lets you provide a name for a phone instead of using the name defined on the device. So even though the phone may be named "Jabba" on the phone, I can tell the car to use "Drone" as the name. Then when I make an outgoing call it shows that "Drone" is making the call.
Check in your car settings to see if both phones are under your name.

Yes there are many portable battery packs able to fast charge an S7. Samsung has some. Anker is one company that has several solutions available.

This issue is caused by something that you have downloaded and installed on your phone. You can verify this by booting into safe mode and confirming that no ads appear while booted in safe mode.
To boot in safe mode:
Hold down the power button until the on screen buttons appear.
Press and hold the Power off button until it changes to Safe mode
Click the Safe mode button

This sounds really strange. When you turn off your car's stereo system the bluetooth connection to the car should drop. Are you using some bluetooth device that pairs with your phone and then drives music to the car radio?
If so, you would need to turn off that device.
If not, it sounds like your car stereo is defective and keeping the bluetooth connection active when off.

Do you have a case on your phone? Some cases can prevent the adapter from seating properly. I would remove the case and then try.

Try clearing the cache partition. This solved it on my wife's S9+.

Thank you.
But I don't see the "When I leave" option at the bottom
There was a Bixby update today. Perhaps that added it. What version of Bixby do you have installed? I have: * Bixby Home: 3.0.05.9 * Bixby Routines: 2.1.12.2 * Bixby Service: 2.1.23.8 * Bixby Vision: 3.0.22.7 * Bixby Voice: 2.1.24.0

Anyone know how to have Wi-Fi turned off when leaving a location ?
Sure.
Open phone settings
Click on Advanced
Click on Bixby Routines
Click the "+" to create a routing
You will see "If" with a "+". Click the "+"
Under "Time and place", click "Place"
Now you will see a map. Near the bottom of the map it has two buttons "When I leave" and "When I arrive at". The default is "arrive" but you will want to click the "When I leave" button.

It is no different than keeping it plugged into your charger in you home.

Although not a true solution, when taking pictures with the front camera click the multiple people icon. This will take a wider picture which will then be cropped but then similar to what you really wanted with the single person option.

My Apple laptop does a similar thing. It can be annoying. I'm sure that somebody thought this was helpful for the user.
The site https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-disable-bluetooth-automatic-playback-on-any-android-phone/ offers some possible solutions for you.

The phone has accelerometers which are used to detect motion. If you move your phone in a motion similar to what it would experience when you are walking it assumes that you are indeed walking and counts steps.

I don't know if I understand your text completely. I think that you are saying that you see the unread notification in the notification area at the top of the phone but you do not see a number on the messages icon. If this understanding is correct, I would
Press and hold on the Messages icon until the little menu pop up
Click on "App info"
Click on Notifications
Ensure that "App icon badges" is enabled

Per the name of your screenshots, it appears that you are using Nova Launcher.
Try switching back to the Samsung launcher and see if that solves the issue.

For browsers, it is a certain site (BBC news), other pages look fine. screen resolution if FHD+ 2280*1080 (I tried other resolutions as well). Nothing enabled under visibility enhancement.
The only way I can mimic this on the browser is to zoom in using the reverse pinch. But when I change page the zoom is disabled.
Have you tried wiping the cache partition for the S10?

Have you tried reregistering your fingerprints?

If you are asking about the Camera night mode, it has already been pushed in an update to AT&T phones. I hear that Verizon phones also received it.

@Rydah thanks for the correction. I just ran some tests and confirmed that this happens in DND and not in DND. I guess that I never noticed it before. Sleeping too soundly or AOD brightness too low to notice.
I had an LG phone that lit up and chimed when it hit 100% charge whether it was in sound off mode or not. Very annoying.

Google Chrome, the Samsung browser, and bank apps do not fit the display.
For Google Chrome and Samsung browser, is it just a certain site or is it all pages?
Can you check which screen resolution you are using?
Also, do you have anything under Accessibility -> "Visibility enhancements" enabled?

When I locate the video and press and hold on the video name, the options appear at the bottome of the screen (move, copy, details, share, delete). When I select share, the app choices are displayed, and I press messages icon. That opens messages, and asks for recipients. After selecting one of my contacts and pressing "Done.", the "enter message" screen is displayed, but the video is not there. I can type a message and send it, but all they get is the text. They don't get the video.
If I select move from the menu, a yellow bar appears at the bottom of the screen with the movie icon with 1 item under it, "Cancel" and "Move here" in the yellow bar. The "Move here" is grayed out. Only "Cancel" can be selected.
Where did you get this movie and how many bytes is it? It is possible that it is too large for MMS and in a format that MMS doesn't know how to compress.
When attempting to move the video, you probably have to change directory before the "Move here" button becomes active. It won't be active if you are in the same directory that the movie currently exists.

Were those items stored on the micro-SD card in the S9+? If so, you will need to transfer that card to the S10+ or at least copy them from that card to the S10+.
