This is not really a list. An index or search field sure would’ve saved having to scroll through all of these, especially when we’re looking for one specific guide.
thank you for the feedback. We are still testing the custom search feature. The built-in WordPress search is too basic.
Really like your guide! I've been looking into getting a Samsung s10 or s10+ and this really helped me!
My power button is broken so I can't use it or use it in combo with the volume key to power on or off. It has been fine operating with this problem for several months but lately it has been acting up and slow so I'd like to shut it down and restart it. Is there any way to do this?
If I were you, I would fix it ASAP.
Anyway, one simple solution is to use auto-restart (Settings-- General management --reset --Auto restart).
You can also use ADB commands to reboot the phone from your PC. You need to enable developer options and need to know how to use ADB commands.
There are some apps to add the Power off menu. But most of them require rooting the phone.
