Solved Galaxy S10 shows as S1

The-Hive · Jan 30, 2022

In Settings>Bluetooth & Devices my Galaxy S10 is showing as Galaxy S1 I thought it was not showing end zeros but the A20 is showing correct. The phone say S10 in Explorer and everywhere else that isn't Bluetooth related

Unpair, remove and try again.

I tried that @Edwin no joy

I thought I would try it again, it didn't work so I went the whole way and removed the device and reinstalled it and all is fine, thanks for giving me the clue

My iPhone 12 showed up as a bunch of numbers, had to do exactly the same, completely remove and reinstall

I was a bit reluctant to do that because of all the other things connected via phone and apps etc, it turned out to be the best thing I could have done as it was a bit messy, now it's all tidy and no doubling up. and best of all everything still works :ROFLMAO:

Yep, nothing quite like a clean install :wink:

@The-Hive
Do you have the Samsung Your Phone Companion from the Samsung Store on your Galaxy?

The-Hive · Jan 30, 2022

I have it but don't use it, I have Alienware Mobile Connect that came with the PC, I find nit much better @Edwin

That came on mine too, never ever used it

Kudos @The-Hive
Just set up Alien mobile connect.

@CornishRattler give it a good try, I think it is a brilliant app, don't forget to check for updates to it if you haven't updated for a while, I believe there is also a store app I had both on my system and had to delete one to get it to work properly

It’s the first app I’ve seen that allows screen mirroring and iMessage from my iPhone on a Windows system

I just found the whole thing easier to set up, and quicker all the way round. I think the MS version was limited in what you could show picture wise and I had an old message on the MS that wouldn't delete even though it was gone from my phone

Yeah the Windows app doesn’t work with iPhones either, I use it on my work phone which is a Samsung but as the Multi National company gives out cr@p phones it didn’t have a lot of functionality
