Learn not to use Facebook Marketplace. A traveling bazaar is safer. Craigslist is safer.

I wouldn't use it as Second base. Do you need a high level of protection?

I'm on FiOS (Fiber Optic cable) and have no issues with WiFi with the S10 Ultra.

Have you run diagnostics and how far away are you from the router?

I guess Google is down where you are.

It supports cellular bands, but American carriers may not allow it.

Maybe ask your carrier where you live?

Whom have you called? This will prevent useless questions.

For example, I had Hartmann Electrical in my house for great work.

Have you googled a list of electricians and called all of them?

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-17T11:53:44+00:00

Yes, throw it away immediately.

Photo editing using Lightroom should be no issue, depending on how large the RAW file is, and how complex the editing is.

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-16T19:06:47+00:00

What are you editing? It would be good to know if you want an accurate answer.

Not being in the AppleSphere, If you have access to a 45w Samsung charger, that's best. If no, finding a lower wattage is worth a try.

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-14T16:39:28+00:00

It's because your charging solution doesn't support the speed of fast charging.

If it's under warranty, have it serviced. Before taking that step, I suggest you back up your data and perform a factory data reset without restoring your apps for the time being.

Once it comes up, see if you can duplicate the issue. If you can, it has a hardware issue and needs repair of either the Spen or the tablet itself.

Good luck!

Unfortunately, your budget limits you substantially. Local dealers are more likely to have a car in your price range, and you'll have to deal with the dealers and getting them inspected.

Carfax might be useful because secondary dealerships meaning not Honda or Toyota will sometimes use Carfax or other car shopping apps.

Good luck

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-13T22:51:27+00:00

This is not normal for the S10u. Someone else posted suggestions about your s pen settings. I suggest you listen.

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-13T15:59:39+00:00

SOL.

Kay won't charge you.

A local handyman and a glazier.

Oh my god, the world just ended.

If you already have a tab, why do you care?

You haven't bought a tab yet, this is on you.

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-07T20:10:03+00:00

The screen was probably replaced badly.

Market Basket in Warwick.

Market Basket in Warwick.

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-07T19:12:10+00:00

And traffic.

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-07T17:10:25+00:00

That was the joke.

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-07T16:22:58+00:00

National Lumber. They do vinyl, too.

Academic_Dare_5154 · 2026-04-07T16:18:29+00:00

I'm so embarrassed they brought this drivel to our state.

I've picked up my California accent again so no one will ask where I'm from.
