Outside of ethical standards, I can only imagine it was engineered towards the largest audience of users (because that's who is using the product and providing feedback). Also, they used to have each skin tone indivual with the emoji but in recent years combined them under one icon for easy organization. Needless to say, after choosing your skin tone it stays defaulted to that forever unless you clear the keyboard data or factory reset. I don't believe the "factory appearance" of a lighter skin tone to be the cover at the start a big issue when you can easily change it to your liking. If there was only one tone, they would certainly be called unpleasant names

Only issue with exynos is the battery efficiency and power it packs compared to SD, but based on the rumors that might be flipping in January

Wasn't aware that happens. I've always figured the carrier had tech guys that flash the kernel and recovery and lock down the bootloader at a system level. Didnt know Samsung modifies it for them to sell under their branding

I doubt its a Samsung thing as much as it is an android thing. They make it harder each year with security updates and OS improvements

you may very well be facing that problem because of no security on your phone (as Whatsapp is a very secure message service)

Bootloader unlocking is a deep software issue that can't be switched off using an OTA. I've tried countless things to root both my S10e and A10e. Nothing seems to work.

Carriers unlock the service provider functionality 60 days after device purchase. The bootloader is locked so you can't flash new software and change carrier, hence them not being able to control or track the device.

Yes, but it doesn't say exchanged. Whenever you have a bad unit you can trade it out as long as you have proof of purchase

Could always ask for a full refund or exchange for another model. That's "what I bought is defective" 101

Your contacts should be backed up to your Google or Samsung account (whichever service you use). As soon as you log in to the service on the new service it should sync the same contacts without an issue. Contacts are not effected by cell service, only by account status

My S10e has the feature. tap on the folder and then in the top right itll show the color picker. If you don't have that, your software is probably outdated

Never buy online and expect it to come flawless. Always go to the store and buy it then bring it home with a pickup truck. Lesson learned, hopefully. Don't blame Samsung as a company on bad customer service and poor handling.

Thats usually because while the app and screen are active your phone is not recognizing that as a touch signal even though whatsapp forced your screen on

I have the same exact phone under Verizon. sadly, Verizon locked the bootloader permanently on most phones. Only way to root a galaxy is to buy it unlocked

A tablet with cellular capability is capable of VoLTE (just means phone calls over wifi). Should be fine

If you go into the settings on the Xbox, go to display settings, you can change the available refresh rates and resolution that the Xbox outputs based on your TV specs. Doing that manually should fix any "auto" adjustments that probably have bugs from it being new

Truth be told, if you log into the same Samsung account that you had on the broken phone then it should sync very quickly for you.

The advanced features are purely HDMI cable based. The new HDMI 2.1 cables are fully capable of everything your TV can do. If it is not 2.1, thats the first issue. (Oddly 2.1 and 2.0 look the same)

The most direct way to do this is to connect a USB C to USB C cable to both phones and factory reset the S9. During setup, it'll say "connect cable for data transfer" and will start basically immediately. I did this from my Pixel 2 to my S10e

Exactly lol my status bar and navigation bar change with screen zoom. of course, bigger status bar equals bigger status bar text but you've also gotta be alright with everything else looking bigger

You know that is pretty strange. even the Font Size slider has no effect on it. Maybe in a future update :)

Depending on where you got your device (obviously a Galaxy phone) you are capable of rooting and installing an alternate OS to mimic the new systems. Since Android 9 is the beginning of the dark mode introduction, you would be able to choose between Android 9, 10, or even 11 as it just came out. If your Galaxy is not compatible with the rooting process (usually carrier locked) then your only choices to experience that is by either buying a new Galaxy or finding modded apks to replace your existing versions. Explore at your own risk and do your research.

Just an FYI for all S10e owners on Verizon (east coast in my case), I just received One UI 2.5 through a "security" update that I had to check for manually in device settings. The update does not appear on the internet anywhere and the details of the update were very vague ("security improvements"). Hope this helps!

Yes haha If you were to disable it (meaning it came with the phone) then you can enable it and be back at the old version. But if you are able to uninstall it and install it again, it will put you in the newest version automatically. If your notes are being backed up to your samsung account, you won't need to transfer because they will show up wherever you are signed in. The "line skipping" thing is a text format issue, being that Samsung Notes often uses different file formats than other programs. Copying text from a website with another font may result in line skips or other strange things because of the Notes formatting. Strangely enough though, you can export notes in all major file extensions so it makes very little sense.

@Klaxxon I guess you should define "Goodnight mode". "Goodnight mode" could be interpreted as dark mode and phone on vibrate, or something else. And Bixby routines do not use Bixby (oddly) as they are their own piece of software that give you admin control over your phone to make things easier, and can easily be switched on or off from the Bixby Routines quick tile.

@User The only thing related to "Galaxy Watch" in the routines is the 'bluetooth device' option when selecting a routine mode. My guess is they cannot incorporate the Galaxy watch specifically because it is not part of the phone and therefore it has its own software that functions via the wearable app.

Go to your developer options then find "Minimum Width". This is your PPI (pixels per inch). The higher the number, the smaller things get. Look up the PPI for your phone model on the internet and reset it. If you are missing the developer options, just go to software info and tap Build Number 7 times. It'll show up again.
