Does it still reboot when in safe mode?

Power on your device in Safe mode:

1. Power off your device.
2. Power on your device.
3. When the Samsung logo appears by itself, press and hold the Volume down key.
4. The device will switch on in Safe mode. "Safe mode" will be displayed on the bottom left of the screen.

It seems to be every few hours rather than a constant thing. It rebooted overnight, but hasn't since I've been at work this morning. If it happens again I'll see what happens in safe mode.

i like my ultra so far (coming from the S20+, best phone for me ever to date)...phones definitely heavier.  I did a 45 minute youtube streaming session this morning and did not have any issues.  I returned the Pixel 7 last fall because it absolutely barfed at such an easy task.  Completely overheated and freaked out.  While the S23 got warm, it still worked like the S20.  Camera is great, zoom is great.  I also have no idea what to use the pen for and will likely never use it.

Since I uninstalled SCP ... nothing has happened. Not liking that coincidence.

How's everyone enjoying their S23's?  I love mine so far.  Liking the battery life so far.

Still like mine.  Taking some getting used to due to the larger size. Just put my S20+ into the return kit this morning. Sort of bummed to see that leaving.

Since it stopped rebooting every hour or so I'm enjoying it more! Screen is great, so is the battery life. Feels much bigger than the S21 Ultra even though it's really not. I think it's the square instead of rounded edges. Still not sure what to do with the pen though. Headed to Colorado for some skiing and hopefully some good pictures this weekend!

My S23 just installed the Feb 1 security update.

which  IMEI did you guys use to activate the device / get ESIM?  When i used IMEI1 on the box, the website took it but nothing happened with the device.  When i then tried IMEI2, everything went through. when i type in *#0011# on the dialer, SIM2 INFORMATION is available, SIM state is not Ready is shown for 1, is this the case for you guys as well?

If it's like the S22, eSIM can ONLY be used in  SIM2.

I transferred my SIM over from my S21 and it activated. That was the end of it for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Got my S23 Ultra yesterday and tired a speedtest on a whim. So far really happy with the phone and the only hitch was that activation took like 2 hours to happen which was annoying.

 

Edit: this is a few miles away

2.2 GB for me, but I'm on an unlocked version. No issues so far. Didn't really see the changes that were supposed to come for the camera though.
