    Take the sim out and stick it in another phone to get the text?

    Can you pop the sim into another phone to get the verification text?

    99% of the time support will get you to ship the phone off and they'll wipe it anyway. I'd keep trying that recovery mode thing even if it isn't working the first time (if it's boot looping then you need to time holding vol up+bixby at the right time) as there's very little won't be fixed by wiping the cache partition (this won't reset the phone).

    You could also let the battery run down, then charge it for a little while and power it on into recovery like the video above.

    I got into the thing and did the wipe cache partition, but that didn't achieve anything.

    Try hurling at your MD's head.

    It won't fix the phone but you'll feel better.

    Ah right. Hopefully you can get into the Samsung account then.

    No matter what the manufacturer you're best using as many Google services to back up things anyway on an Android phone (Google Photos, contacts to Gmail, whatsapp to Drive, etc). Makes setting up a new phone much handier too if you change brand.

    Safe Mode might be worth a look. Can be a bit of a pain to get into when you can't do it from the normal power menu but just in case it's a recently installed app that's fucking you up you could get in and delete it, or at least back up your stuff.


    To restart your S10 to safe mode:
    1. Turn off your S10. If you can’t turn it off normally, let the phone drain its battery until it turns itself off.
    2. With your S10 off, press and hold the Power key past the model name screen.
    3. When “SAMSUNG” appears on the screen, release the Power key.
    4. Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
    5. Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
    6. Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
    7. Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.

    If you are able to reboot the phone to safe mode, that means that you have a bad third party app. If you want to identify which of your apps is preventing Android from booting up, you must use the method of elimination. This is what you need to do exactly:

    1. Boot to safe mode.
    2. Check for the problem.
    3. Once you’ve confirmed that a third party app is to blame, you can start uninstalling apps individually. We suggest that you begin with the most recent ones you added.
    4. After you uninstall an app, restart the phone to normal mode and check for the problem.
    5. If your S10 still refuses to boot up normally, repeat steps 1-4.

    It's still only the second most 'fuck you off' thing that's happened to me today, after spending ten minutes behind a street cleaning lorry doing 8mph in the rush hour.

    I used to have to park in another street or have to leave for work 15 minutes early every Thursday because the fucking bin lorry would be coming down our road and fuck me over otherwise

    I remember nearly going on a rampage one morning when the cunts drove past just as I was getting in. Let the shit pile high like 70's Britain for all I care. Just fuck off.

    Another victory for working from home.

    Yeah, boot it into Safe Mode - have you installed anything recently that might have caused the problem? If so, kill that then try rebooting it. Alternatively check for any software updates for your operating system

    I haven't managed to get it into Safe Mode thus far. I can get it into recovery screen, but that isn't a whole lot of help unless I want to factory reset.

    It had been acting up of late, crashing and restarting the whole time but it's impossible to know which app(s) - if any - had been the cause.

    My Sister is moving into a flat on Monday so we rang Sky for the home move. The lady said the building has a communal Sky and that we could set it up ourselves but the earliest a engineer could come out is the 3rd.

    They sent an e-mail saying that the engineer is coming round on the 23rd so we rang them and a guy told us that there is no communal Sky dish so we'd need the engineer visit and that it is indeed booked for the 23rd and not the 3rd like we were originally told.

    Knobheads.

    Their three cars (plus their visitors ones) will be in everyone’s way for the weekend because the skip is in their gateway. They were told the last time I had to knock about a car across my gate that it was the first and last time, so if there’s one there in the morning then it’ll be pushed into the hedge across the road.
    They’re inconsiderate enough cunts at the best of time regarding parking.

    People choosing stupid names for themselves is far more palatable to me than people giving their children stupid names. The worst I've ever known personally was a girl named 'Looweeze'.

    It was a bit like that. She was one of those people who decided they'd 'do Africa' and that was the last I heard. Hopefully she ended up in a jollof rice.

    Torie is at least near enough just part of the name.

    "Torts" just sounds like posho bullshit.

    I'm an Oliver, irl, and trying to drop all the various Ollie/Olly/Oli legacy forms as I enter my thirties has been seriously hard work. I'm fine with it spoken (although even that will have an expiry date), but written down they all just look like I'm nine years old.

    Danny, Jamie, all names that should go at 30 too.

    It could be worse. I've seen too many Jaydee's, Jaymee's, Lianne, Leigh-Anne, Lee-Ann and Bobbi-Jo's in my line of work. And, for the love of God, unless you're Brazilian, don't call your son Ayrton.
