I'm not going to lie - I do like a bit of colour saturation but the S10 has taken this to a whole new level in some scenarios which are horrendous. It might be that I am still on the April update and maybe they have fixed it with the ASE update but seriously...   With regards to the OP - it sounds to me like you have an issue with your actual screen colour (I don't have this issue - everything I post looks the same on other devices as on my S10).  In the visibility enhancement menu there is both colour lens and colour adjustment settings as well.  I have both of these set to off and screen mode set to natural. ...

Thanks dani.  The problem is that it says 2 different things. On the Software Download section on my phone it says AES5 but if I go to the "learn more" link that brings me to Samsungs hub, it says AES7.  If I am downloading AES7 then it should say that in the Software Download section.  Sometimes incorrect versions can still be pushed out to phones - will wait for a Samsung rep to confirm on this. Someone over on XDA said don't download unless it is AES7 in the Software Download section. ... View more

Thanks!  It was around the 6th when the update became available. I wonder why it is named incorrectly then?  Part of me wants to download it but part of me wants to wait for Samsung to 100% confirm ... View more

Which routines?  There are many plus custom...I have disabled all things Bixby and use Tasker. It can do SO many additional things (still looking for those profiles though...I may consider rooting my phone at some point) ... View more

I have done this via tasker. I have set up autosync to be off unless plugged in to any power source which has probably made a difference (the only thing that won't sync is my Google backup - I am using Outlook as a mail client though it is annoying me that I can't automate this syncing through the app or through tasker atm). I would ideally set up my phone to have: - autosync on when connected to wifi and plugged in (instead of just plugged into any power source); - mobile data disable when connected to wifi (this is supposed to happen but I've seen a few say it doesn't quite work that way); - if 4G connection strength is weak, switch to 2G/3G (I think this requires root - have been searching for profiles but haven't found any to do this) - when display is off, if on mobile data, switch to 2G/3G (again, think this requires root but have been searching on and off for some profiles) ...

It is most likely an app that you have causing this behaviour, not the phone. ... View more

I've made some additional changes and I think it has helped...   - I've changed the app wifi control access with the exception of Tasker which needs to control my wifi as I have it turning on/off at specific times   - I finally got the updated Chrome which supports dark mode   - I disabled the Samsung email app and am using Outlook app (for now as I can't automate the syncing on it so may change) instead. Was having problems sending emails via the Samsung email app and also having issues receiving them anyways    - I have turned off autosync entirely on the phone - the downside to this is that my phone won't back up to Google this way - I am trying a few experiments with Tasker to try to automate this somehow but am still playing around with it (still receive notifications by doing this including whatsapp)   I am at nearly 1.5 hours SOT and am at 77% battery life - note that I only charge my phone to 93% before going to bed as it drains 3-4% overnight (the almost 10% drain a few weeks back seem to have disappeared....) so really at 87% battery life if I had of charged my phone to 100% overnight and unplug when I leave for work.    I think some other stuff has been pushed to the phone as my keyboard does weird things now - it's not uncommon for this to happen without doing any formal updates but we will see.  ...

Guys - I just found something VERY odd...if you search in your settings for "special access" and scroll down to "Wifi Control" you will see a good selection of apps which can control your wifi - I suspect that there is battery drain associated with this, particularly when using 4G - I don't know if anyone can confirm as I did a Google search and NOTHING has come up about it, but I wonder if these apps which have these permissions are pinging looking for wifi...in addition to your phone...anyways I've turned all apps off and will see what happens. ...

I read the majority of  @RegetebuyingS9p wrote:     Not to mention the invasion of privacy and security risk that this phone puts every owner in due to that fact that this phone, the S9+ puts all of us at risk for being hacked since it doesn't matter if you turn off and disable apps, app permissions ect in settings because the phone via Samsung, Google ect idk turns them all back to the way Samsung, Google ect wants them to be I would assume to collect our data and usage for money by way of advertising. No matter what you do in settings this phone will be connecting to unsecure Wi-Fi's whenever it wants, turning on location, NFC, Bluetooth, Tags, Nearby, Phone Visability AND updating and downloading apps no matter how many places you turn this option off, it doesn't matter it just keeps updating apps and downloading apps whenever Samsung, Google ect decides it is going to do so and then with every unknown unauthorized update of an app it once again changes all of your settings behind your back. We have all been preached to and "They" say "stay safe" , "stay secure"and go on and on about mobile security which I have always taken very seriously and use the best paid for VPN, Anti Maleware Anti Virus programs ect. and then "they" turn around and change our settings making us vulnerable to attacks by way of outrageous permissions, connecting to unsecure WiFi networks, making us visable to the world and open for attack! Then we can also talk about all of the other permissions that we have absolutely no way to turn off in the "Other Permissions" in app settings. Yes they make it look like you have control by showing you a list of permissions you can toggle off but up in the corner click that menu and take a look at "All Permissions" depending on the app the list is insanely unbelievable! I forget which app it was but it was allowed to know the speed of my vehical, the thing is that this app had nothing to do with a car or driving ***** Had I seen these other "All Permissions" that we have no control over sooner I would have returned the phone immediately but due to my disabilities it took me some time to set up the phone securely and to my liking and by the time I finally had a chance to start digging around in the phones settings and discovered this massive breach of privacy and security all of these other "All Permissions" in each app it was past the time that I could return this piece of garbage phone. I will also mention that I was not surprisingly hacked about a month after purchasing this phone despite my diligent efforts to secure my device and it has made my life a nightmare ever since trying to untangle the layers of ***** that resulted from being hacked. It is a nightmare I wish upon nobody and in my sick disabled state it made it all the more horrendous since I have very little time each day that I am able to function physically and or mentally before I am far to sick and exhausted to do anything but lay here and die a slow death. It was also about a month after purchasing the phone that I saw in settings under WIFI usage there was all of this WiFi usage and I had WiFi turned off as I have a very large unlimited plan. I had WIFI turned off in every place possible in settings in every app possible and there is no place to see exactly what "WiFi" network this phone actually connected to when it did so. I live in a rural area and have very few neighbors. Any WiFi networks that I can see when I scan in WiFi settings are all locked and I would need a password to connect to. So again what "WIFI" did this phone connect too?! It wasn't mine or the neighbors and there are no local hotspots anywhere near me. So much for your lovely secure Knox as it doesn't do ***** and neither can any other program keep you safe with this phone always changing settings and making you a sitting duck for anyone that wants in. I am honestly thinking of contacting a lawyer about this along with the PUC and anyone else that will listen and perhaps help protect people that have bought this phone. It has cost me way way more than 1000 bucks and at this point after all that I have been through because of this phone and since buying the S9+ last summer it has just about cost me my sanity as well. All of the hoops I've had to jump throigh, endless hours on the phone, in chat, setting up replacement phones, running to the post office to return defective phones, calling my credirtors, cancelling cards, changing passwords, retrieving accounts, all of the lies I've been told by Samsung, Best Buy, AT&T, Assurion have been unbelievable and sickening on a level that is almost unbelievable yet it has happened and it's been nothing short of hell. So, 9 months later after purchasing the S9+ I am now on replacement phone number idk 7 or 8 I've basically lost count how many phones it's been and I still not have a phone that functions properly and that receives even half of the phone calls and voicemails that people tell me they have left. Yes this phone cost me way more than 1000 dollars and at this point I could not even begin to calculate how much it has actually cost me but it's thousands and thousands and climbing every day that I pay for phone service and now a landline too plus I will have to buy a phone that actually works and does what it is intended to do, like make and receive calls! Also getting hacked the hacker kept changing my phone plan and Everytime there was a plan change that cost me money as well and I also lost the old good unlimited plan that I was grandfathered into. So yes it has cost. Oh boy has this phone cost me. With what it has cost me it should be made of gold and it should at least get incoming calls but at this point I guess that is just apparently to much to ask for from a phone. So anyone reading this, if you are thinking of buying a Samsung phone ring for your life because they do not even hold up their end of the 1 year warranty the replacement phones I did manage to get were thanks to my carrier. The most current one being a brand new replacement and we are still having the exact same issues. I'm not receiving my calls and when it doesn't ring on my end and it supposedly goes to voicemail there is no voicemail in the box either. Not to mention the pictures it takes now are *****. Oh I also read you can no longer access both camera lenses like you were able to before. Not sure what other features they took away from the camera yet as I have not had a chance to thoroughly go through the camera app itself. I've never had the chance to enjoy this phone at all except for the few times I saw my granddaughter and got some great pics when it still had sports mode. Ive never had a chance to really learn much about the camera because all my spare time is spent on the phone, on chat ect trying to get the phone to do the most basic function it is supposed to do. The S9+ was my dream phone. I fought with myself for about 9 months before I finally bit the bullet and splurged for it. I read reviews, researched all of my options and I kept coming back to the S9+ because of the camera hoping and praying it took pics at least half as good as the old S2 did and it did for a little while but they ruined that and I can't get my calls! Yep way to go! Good job! Screw over a old sick disabled lady that just wanted some good pictures of her granddaughter to look at while she spends most of her life laying in bed dying. Thanks for making one of my final experiences here on this Earth so effing lovely. You just made the thought of dying a little easier because at least I know once I am dead I won't have evil greedy corperstions a** raping me anymore. So bravo! Good job! I won't even need to hear my last rights when my time comes! Lmao Samsung you have made it so I do not even care that I am dying anymore and just thankful I'll be checking out soon!  I read the majority of this but don't have or see any of the issues you are referring to. ...

I am kind of with everyone else on this - I like the phone but when I compare the performance (particularly battery drain) with my Sony XZ2 which is over a year old now, the S10 is shockingly atrocious and I'm ready to throw the phone in the bin despite REALLY liking the camera and its multiple lenses (except when the software over-saturates some colours which tends to happen in bright daylight), the physical form/feel of the phone, and the UI.   For me, it's about the battery consumption and the ability to optimize the phone accordingly but not have to basically disable most of the phone's functionality.  At first the XZ2's battery was shockingly poor and I was disappointed as it was similar to my iPhone's battery (which I got rid of for many reasons but especially because of the POOR battery life) but with a few tweaks that Sony allows users to do, my battery was far, far superior (unfortunately everytime I restart the phone I need to force stop the WakeLock but after that, it's brilliant) and I didn't need to debloat the phone or have my location always off, etc.   I can say that I wasn't impressed with the general battery life on my S10 but was survivable BUT with the April update, the BATTERY IS BEYOND GARBAGE.  Being able to have an SOT of 2-3 hours only (with the April update) is TERRIBLE and basically renders the phone useless - I already wasn't impressed with the MAYBE 5 hours SOT (though I did manage to get 10 hours SOT once, being on wifi all day and playing around with the phone) when my XZ2 was getting more (similar battery size btw!). ...
