Samsung G9 Turning off randomly

Hey guys, been enjoying this amazing monitor for a little over a year now, but out of nowhere it turns off. Only when im away for about 5 minutes and nothing is playing on the screen. Only way to fix it is to unplug, wait 1 minute and then plug in again.

Anyone else be able to solve this? I already tried fixing from within the monitor’s options but no help.

What is your experience with A71?

More specifically performance and trying heavy games like pubg.. I played pubg on early days of purchasing and didn't tend to play for too long, now I'm thinking of playing it again but not for long hours it's just I'm concerned if it can harm in any way.

Please share your experience with heavy games and overall performance. Thanks :)

I’m turning my S23 into a gaming portable device.

What games can the S23 handle? I have a 16 Pro Max as my main phone but I have a S23 as a secondary. As much as I am an Apple fan, I think the S23 is an incredible little device. The performance, sound, camera, graphics, refresh rate and etc are truly insane for a base model Samsung phone. I want to turn it into a gaming device that way I don’t have my iPhone as my distraction phone, cause I mainly use it for school, work, studying all things productivity wise. But on the other hand I still have this amazing little S23 that I don’t want to give up. So turning it into a gaming phone and using it to its full advantage seems more intelligent haha. Thank you for any suggestions. Happy Holidays people :)

Updating Monitor

I recently updated my Samsung Odyssey Neo G9's bios from 1004.1 to 1007.0 - Samsung doesn't say what's new or changed. Can anyone tell me?

Limited File Transfer Experience on Windows

Samsung S23. Not sure how exactly to explain this, but the file transfer seems limited. I am connected "to transfer files" and I can do so just fine. However when I open my S23 on Windows, I can't extract a Zip file for example (right clicking does not give this option)... viewing the properties of a folder never shows the size of the files... Is there some way to get full file explorer functionality?

Thanks!

24 plus worth it?

Hi guys,

I need some advice and opinions. I have s23 as persona and work phone. I like it especially it has the snapdragon prosessor. But one reason why I would like to get s24 plus is bigger battery and more ram. My only reason to not get this phone is the exynoss prosessor. Is it really that bad? S24 plus is in good discount now.

S23 battery doesn't last very well anymore. Also should I stick with the s23 and wait for s25 series?

Phone case compatibility for Samsung A30s

I'm trying to find a new phone case for my Samsung Galaxy A30s. Since it is an old model, it's proving itself difficult. Finally, I found a very pretty one that is only available for the following models:

  • Samsung Galaxy A31
  • Samsung Galaxy A32 4G
  • Samsung Galaxy A33 5G
  • Samsung Galaxy A34 5G
  • Samsung Galaxy A35

My question is, will any of them be compatible with my phone?

Thank you very much in advance, have a good day!

New „The Frame 2025“ to be announced at CES ?

Are there rumours about the new Frame? Perhaps they get rid of that One Connect Box just like the NXTFrame from TLC or the CanvasTV from Hisense.

What do you think? Are there any rumours?

Battery draining

Hi guys! I got the galaxy a55 friday, i already knew the battery would drain quickly the first day since it has to start up and all that, but it's now Sunday and it still drains rather quick. Currently it's at 96%, a little less then 45 minutes ago it was still at 100%. Will it just take a couple more days for it to "settle" and have better battery, or did i get a a phone with a faulty battery?

Bright Whites on 4k tvs...

So I just came across an old post about bright whites on modern tvs and felt I had to create my own post about it that might help others. I recently purchased a samsung QN95C mini led and Ive been blown away with not only the contrast and deep blacks but also the bright whites. Infact especially the whites! Watching a snow capped mountain or skiing sports is jyst incredible. The pure whites of football players shirts and stuff...just mental good. The thing is so many people talk about deep blacks these days but to me bright whites are just as impressive. Now oled rules for deep blacks...but to me, mini led technology gets it right for bright whites.

What is a decent durable phone case for the A15 5G?

Looking for something highly protective due to work, not satisfied with what I see for otterbox's offerings. Many screen protectors seem to be made of tempered glass these days. I haven't seen any polycarbonate or plexiglass that weren't amazon chinesium. Is spigen reputable?

S24 Ultra vs. S25 Ultra - Best Choice for Battery Life?

Hey everyone,

I mostly use my phone for YouTube, social media, and stuff like Coinbase. I don't game, but battery life is a big deal.

Should I get the Samsung S24 Ultra now or wait for the S25 Ultra? I've heard the S25 has a better, more efficient chip. Will the battery life be noticeably better for what I do?

Thanks!

Samsung TV network setup stuck

The TV wasn't seeing any networks, so I did a factory reset, unplugged the TV and plugged it back in. The TV now sees the networks in range, but when I select the correct one it won't do anything when I click the next button. It makes the bloop noise but sits there. It doesn't give me an option to input the password.

Get the S24 or wait for S25

I had a S24 a couple of months ago, but I lost it and had to go back to my aged S10e.

After going back the horrid battery life on it is apparent..

I'm considering just biting the bullet and buying the S24 again but I can also see the argument for waiting for the S25 if there's any indication that it will bring a lot more to the table than the S24.

What does everyone here think? Should I wait for the S25, or go ahead and rebuy the S24?

Is there any danger from vibration to the OIS system

I really like OIS (Optical image stabilization) on my S24, however, the phone often gets exposed to different kinds of vibrations, and bumps, is there any harm that can come from these situations to the system?

Some examples would be leaving the phone in my pocket while operating vibrating tools like jackhammers, and riding a motorcycle with the phone mounted on the handlebars

I've heard of people having issues with their camera starting to vibrate on some phones, and i'm worried that it might be related to this sort of thing

Is the A Series Bad?

I hear so many bad things about the A series, and to just get a refurbished S series. I'm wondering if the A series is actually that bad or just something that's overblown. Should I be avoiding the A series? If yes, since I don't want to get a used phone, should I just buy the older S21? Or should I just switch to google and get a pixel 7a.

Most seamless cloud photo backup? S22 ultra

Running out of storage and don't know the most seamless cloud photo storage with Samsung, ideally I'd like pictures i take to be mostly stored in the cloud. To offload that storage from my phone. Samsung gallery with onedrive doesn't seem to be synching all my photos in the mentioned folders.

RAM Plus on A52S

This post is just for sharing my experience with the RAM Plus feature.

I have my A52S since november 2022. It's a very good phone. After one year I modified the RAM Plus feature setting it up from 2GB to 6GB. I experimented a progressive slowing of the phone, but I thought it was just aging. One month ago the phone was very very slow, then I started searching for a solution for speeding it up. At the end, by solely my experience and knowledge (i'm a computer engineer), I conjectured RAM plus was slowing my A52S. I completely deactivated it. Actually my phone is litteraly as fast as 2 years ago, when I buyed it (with RAM plus setted at 2GB). Sometimes i experiment very little lags when I have too many open applications in background.
