I had been getting frustrated with my Oneplus and upgrade to an S10, and every once in awhile I wish that I hadn't. It's death by a thousand cuts, from engineers and management who have no respect for the user. Off the top of my head, within the past week, I've had:

* The wifi slows down to <1mbps every morning. Restarting wifi fixes this. * The entire bixby button. It can finally be remapped, but occasional double taps (like using volume in the dark) will still open it. * The weather 'Current temperature' widget updates every two days. Current temperature. Current. Two days. * Random notifications to sign up for Samsung services that I don't want. You cannot swipe them away. You have to open the app and decline their EULA to get rid of it. * Disappearing notifications * Needing to reboot every week, or getting slowdowns * Only two years of updates (an entire android problem)

Obviously all of these problems can be fixed, and many aren't exclusive to samsung, but dealing with all of them continuously is just grating. I had been planning to buy a Samsung Frame TV before I heard all this stuff about their ads.

Hopefully you've found the instructions to remove bixby via adb. It works, side effect free and has survived multiple firmware updates so far.

I didn't realize this was doable, thank you!!

Do you have a link or list for services to disable? I went through this list[0] for my S9 and at least I got rid of the Bixby button, the Samsung Share shortcuts, and a few other crapwares. Some Samsung junk still left though, and names are cryptic enough that I'm not sure what would or wouldn't break (for me, obviously depends on what you use).

Don't forget all those bundled spyware and bloatware services/apps of which most can be disabled through arduous labour but then magically get re-enabled every time you update the OS.

FYI, S10 will be getting 4-years support (3 major version updates, 1 year security updates): https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-android-updates-114...
