Earlier this month Samsung released Android 10 OneUI 2.0 beta for Galaxy S10, S10e, and S10 Plus for both Exynos and Snapdragon variants. In continuance of the updates, Samsung had recently rolled out the OneUI 2.0 Beta 2 for Galaxy S10, S10e, and S10 Plus for its Exynos and Snapdragon variants. However, the rollout didn’t go smooth and users started facing a serious issue as soon they updated their Galaxy S10 phones to Android OneUI 2.0 beta. The issue was that they were locked out of their devices soon after updating to Android 10 Beta 2. However, Samsung immediately acknowledged the issue and started working on it. Today, they have released Android 10 Beta 2 HotFix for locked out of your device. You can download Android 10 Beta 2 for Galaxy S10, S10e, and S10 Plus with HotFix for locked out of your device.
Samsung started rolling out Android 10 Beta 2 for Exynos Variants of Galaxy S10/S10e/S10+ a week ago. However, the Beta 2 was infected with a serious bug which locked out users from their devices. In simple words, after being updated to Android 10 OneUI 2.0 Beta 2, Galaxy S10/S10e/S10+ stopped recognizing pin/password/pattern the user had set to unlock the phone. So, people were locked out of their own devices. Anyhow, the issue has been fixed and Android 10 Beta 2 for Galaxy S10, S10e, and S10 Plus with HotFix is now available for download.
