I've had nothing but issues since DAY 1 with this phone.
I've dealt with:
1.) A screen that randomly goes blank/turns black for an unspecified amount of time (occurring, at the very least, DAILY);
2.) Hundreds, if not thousands, of saved files completely disappearing -- even to the extent of the entire contents within a folder disappearing (but, oddly, the folder remains....with 0 files left in it);
3.) Alarms/reminders being randomly set for various times, all throughout the day & night..and go off despite "Do Not Disturb" being enabled or the phone being set to "Mute";
4.) Parts just falling off of the phone, including a camera lens....
5.) ....and the back of the phone (which you obviously know, should never come off) is detaching on one corner/side of the phone;
....and then some!
Unfortunately, the latest **bleep** device that I'm forced to deal with is:
6.) Its inability to recognize a physical SIM card when it is [properly] inserted in the phone.
[This, then progressed to...]
7.) An e-SIM profile that was [briefly] fully functional and will still re-install onto the device..but that, one day, out of the blue, decided it will no longer connect my phone number/the Verizon network to the e-SIM.
- AND -
8.) An inability to charge my device with a charging cable;
9.) A painstakingly slow wireless charging speed that is also beginning to fail;
10.) And, thus, too, the inability to transfer files/photos/ANYTHING via USB-C flashdrive, since that is also unrecognized when inserted in the phone.
The last 4 devices that I had purchased were all Samsung devices....
....but the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G is, straight up, trash.
& I'll never buy a Samsung again after dealing with this poorly manufactured, disaster of a phone.
If anyone can share some guidance/wisdom with regards to any 1 (or all) of the issues that I've named, I'd really appreciate it.
So, you've been having a problem for at least 3 years and now decide it's untenable? Or did you recently buy a used model? Buying a used model can be problematic because you don't know what abuse it took prior to your owning it.
