Samsung Galaxy S10

Read about the unlocking issue, but can't say I ever had it happen to me. Possibly a regional issue?
 
Has anyone here done battery replacement?
Looks like a real pain.

I'm still undecided whether to go with wefix or Samsung directly

use the chatbox, they just quoted me R950 to replace the battery on my s10

Did anyone do a battery replacement yet?

I see "The real repair co" does a battery replacement on all S10 models for R749. Link

Not sure how safe these guys are compared to wefix, but R749 seems like a good deal. Also concerned if they guarantee the water seal after the repair.

I've thought of upgrading my phone but there's no point. I love the size and features, it's just the battery letting me down. Was at 60% yesterday and went to the shop... 3 hours later it was dead. Wasn't even using it that much.
 
Still not winning with this drain.

Phone reset. No google account linked and on wifi.

20min later lost 2% battery already. Not sure if it's MTN because that is the only thing that changed. I ported from Cellc to MTN.
Still struggling?

Might be because of the network.

I noticed my battery got worse when I changed from MTN to FNB Connect.

I'm on MTN. VoLTE and VoWifi enabled but still struggle. I believe it's the network because on Telkom it's not as bad.

MTN has 3 towers really close to me so I think the phone keeps scanning these stats and switch towers causing the drain. I finally gave up and just switched to my new Huawei P40 lite 5G. It's on 5G signal now 24/7 wih VoLTE and no drain.

I'm getting a Poco X3 GT soon so I will just sell the S10. It's not so great anymore.

Been waiting for this update for a while.

My phone has become laggy and the battery doesn't even last a day. Going to finally factory reset to see if it makes a difference.

I ditched my s10 for the Poco x3 gt because the battery of the S10 can't even last 4 hours.
