No they didn't give a fault number.  Should have asked that one in hindsight. I was just happy they acknowledge it.


[(Agent):15:15:07] I see. To be honest with you, there's actually a problem on the S20 units related to the network services and our Senior Support Team are working on a software update that would fix this. 
[(Customer):15:15:24] 2 days ago I also factory reset the phone a third time to make sure I had a clean build. 
[(Agent):15:15:33] For now, we will need to get the details of the device so we can forward it to them. 
[(Customer):15:15:50] Ahh ok.  Do you have time frame when this may be available?
[(Agent):15:17:14] As of the moment, there's no further announcement but this has been reported few weeks ago and we are hoping that the update will be released early next month. 



If you want a fairly extended battle you can reject the phone as having a substantive fault. This entitles you to a refund. That will be a battle, and one you would likely win, but it probably won't happen quickly. Up to you how much of a fight you want.

Is this a problem with just the ultra model only? Or both plus and ultra?

From everything I have read it is the S20 range.  I have a S20+

OK disabling VoLTE does not resolve this problem. Again today I missed a call (ironically from our Vodafone account manager) and it went straight to voicemail. Also the txt notification of new voice message didn't get delivered either.

 

 

 

This is just ridiculous. I now have zero faith in this handset. Its a major concern to me as I am an emergency contact for my very unwell elderly mother and I can't receive calls reliably.

 

 

 

Anyway I am going to start a new thread for this specific problem rather than keep cluttering up the general S20 discussion Ill post a link once I have created a topic.

Hoping this issue gets resolved quickly.

 

Took a plunge and got S20U, waiting for the better quality rugged cases I ordered to arrive before start using the phone.

Tested out a powerbank I bought that supports the new Samsung 45W on S20U, worked like a charm

 

Still very few powerbanks out there that supports this

Downloaded One Hand + from Samsung here.

Now able to lock the screen without using the power button using both hands. I was missing the widget coming from Huawei.

So I see NL has the S10 for $950, and the S10+ for $1100. I'm assuming the extra $150 is worth it? (Just worried S10+ would be too big for my hands, I use my phone a lot for playing Pokemon GO, among other things...)

I think you wanted the S10 owners thread, this here is for the S20 series.

 

In general, I would go and try it yourself, as the difference in size is not 'uge Nigel, but could put you just over the comfortable one-handed use. On the other hand, the extra battery size (4100mah vs. 3400mah) would be a point in favor of the S10+, but there really isn't much else in it between those two things. Oh, and the extra camera module on the front means a bigger punch hole (bar?) in the display as well.
