I am currently using S20+, and I was in no rush to replace it. However, the green line (two green lines) plague has taken over, and it is slowly becoming impossible to use the phone.

So now I am on the market searching for a new samsung. My questions is: should I purchase the S24+ or S24 Ultra?

Keep in mind I am a small person, with hands that are not gigantic

I folks I have this not just for s23 but for phones in general.

I tested my s23 with 20w, 18w & 15w chargers(original usb type c to type c cable), all bearing the same charging speed results as per ampereflow app i.e. (10-11watts).

My question is do phones charge only on limited/specific units, for eg s23 will charge only at 25w & 15w & not anything in between say 17 or 18 or 19 watts?

So for context, I am currently using an A52 (not the 5g version), but the battery is getting worse and worse, and it feels kind of slow, so Ive been thinking of, instead of changing the battery, maybe just buying a newer phone.

Is there any good Samsung Phone, that maybe isn't going to cost me thousands of dollars, but still has a decent or even good camera and isn't too slow?

I'm confused Between Galaxy S22+ & S23FE . Both available on almost similar price . My preference is the older one because it's a proper flagship and not a cheap knockoff but I know how infamous the battery of the base variant was .

could anyone pls share a link to download samsung internet that was leaked last time for windows? I can't find an active link to download anywhere... thank you so much

EDIT: Also, i tried extension for chrome and edge for samsung internet and i downloaded from official samsung webpage, and once i install the extension, and log in to my samsung account, it says domain for sale

For those who have used multiple models in the Samsung S series, how do you feel the camera quality and performance have evolved over the years? I'm considering upgrading and would love to hear your insights.

I have an old Galaxy S9 that will often refuse to charge due to a faulty detection of moisture in the charging port. Any way to manually disable this? Obviously the phone is dry and sits on my desk most of the day

Hi, I thought the battery life on the Z Flip 6 sucked until I did a lot of experimenting, research, and exploring with settings and stuff. And I've basically made the phone a battery champ now. I figured to share my knowledge.

A lot of people may already know this, but I'm sharing it for those who don't.

Your phone has something called "sleep" or "deep sleep." When you stop using your phone and the screen is off for more than a min or so, it'll enter this state. While in this state, your phone battery should drain REALLY slowly. it's meant to be hyper-efficient on battery life and only use the bare minimum it can to stay on.

However, apps can "wake" up the phone to do small tasks. Like receive a notification, sync emails, small updates, etc. it'll only wake the phone up briefly, and the phone should go right back to sleep. however, for more complicated tasks, like playing a video in the background or music, that app will "wake lock" your phone until it stops doing what it needs to do. This means your phone wont ever go to sleep while the app is working. Even if the screen is off, this generally drains your battery much faster.

If your phone is draining battery really fast, it's likely that it's constantly being disturbed by SOMETHING. Either constantly waking it up over and over again, or something wake locking it. or both.

Some battery tracking apps, like Accubattery, will let you know your phone's deep sleep time. Your phone should have a deep sleep time over 50% usually and should be the majority of the screen off time. If it isn't, then SOMETHING is running in the background and killing your battery. However, your phone or even battery tracking apps will have a hard time assigning battery drainage percent to it. Since it's usually small enough to slip by (at least in my experience.)

But, if you go into your device care, battery, battery usage, and view details, it'll list all of the apps that have been used recently. If you click on each one, it'll show you all sorts of useful data. The most useful of which is under system resource usage.

Here it'll show you all the wake-ups, wake locks, and cpu use time. If this number is really high, especially compared to other apps, then you know which app is the culprit and which app to kill. Conveniently enough, it'll also give you the option to set background usage limits at the bottom. And this either puts the app to sleep or deep sleep. And deep sleep will make it so that it won't ever run in the background when you stop using it. Very useful.

You can run tests and see which one is causing your phone to wake up a lot by deep sleeping some apps. And your battery life should skyrocket once you figure out what's going on. it did for me, and my phone went from only lasting 12 hours max with 2-4 hours of screen on time, to 18-24 hours with 6-8 hours of screen on time.

P.S Ignore google play services. That one will have a ton of wakeups but that's because it needs to be on in order for android to run. It's how apps communicate to each other, and the phone breaks if you somehow figure out a way to disable it (it doesn't let you by default. And for good reason.) You can consider that one to be more of a "total" of how many times your phone has been awoken, since it'll mostly always awake as well as other apps whenever other apps need to wake up.

while playing game pubgm I keep touching edge of screen sometimes even going to home screen too Because I AM using full screen mode. Even I turned on navigation gestures it only allowed twice swip, I used to play from Red Magic recently i swiped to s24 ultra

Anybody know where I can get a high quality leather case I can have monogrammed for my Galaxy s23 Plus?

I really hate how there's not a lot of great options for Samsung cases.

Hi guys, I bought s23 ultra in UAE. I have it for 1.5 years. The battery took a bit of nose dive around the 1 year mark.

I am a heavy user (texting and YT, YT music and bluetooth).

How do you find your battery drop off on your s23 Ultras?

P.s -do you think using the samsung ultra fast charger exclusively may have contributed to faster battery degradation?

I would like to purchase a Galaxy S22/+, 23+, 24+, and I often find renewed or refurbished phones for a much better price. What are the issues associated with purchasing a refurbished/renewed Galaxy? Are there security concerns, or operation issues? Thanks in advance.

I've a Samsung QE65Q60CAUXXU TV and I find when I watch videos through video files via an external harddrive or USB the experience with their player/file explorer is quite bad. There's no search file name functionality, half the subtitle .srt files aren't detected or work and a lot of the video formats aren't supported.

Is there any app or alternative solution that could provide me with a better experience on the folder navigation (due to the lack of a search file name functionality) or provide a higher compatibility of .srt files or video formats?

Context:

Recently my Samsung S22's battery estimate nose dives within seconds once it gets below 50%. I knew it was strange but figured maybe it just needs some charge cycles to recalibrate its estimate. In additions, my case started not fitting as snug as it usually would. After connecting the dots, I decided to take the case off to investigate. Low and behold, my battery is not long for this world.

Obviously, I will avoid using this phone as much as possible until I can get this fixed. Does anyone know if Samsung offers free battery replacements? I am outside of the 12 month warranty period and I do not have Samsung care.

Because I looked at S24 and found they only have 1080p display for a phone that is 900$+ lmao.

Rip my s7 edge lasted 9 years and the motherboard shorted out few days ago.

I have not even done a battery replacement on it.

Excited to still use a 1440p screen on the last best S series phone ever. (also like the edge design)

That's it, I hate the new smart select

I'm using a33 and sometimes it driving me crazy. I'm just trying to open recent apps but it still lags. So I want to go back go older version of oneui or something looks like pixel. Any suggestions for this device?

They have released a Windows version late last year but then took it out on April this year for unknown. Do you think Samsung will re-release it on PC. I’d probably even quit using Opera GX on PC due to how much I like Samsung Internet on my phone & tablet. And it would be logical to include Samsung Internet preinstalled with Galaxy Books.

Also sorry for using the Galaxy Book flair but since choosing a flair is mandatory, I chose the one that seemed the most related to my post, because it’d be logical to have Samsung Internet come preinstalled with Galaxy Books.

I try to have all my contacts in google contacts. When I look some contacts up on my phone, they are actually in the phone or samsung or an app contact account. I want to move them or duplicate them in my google contacts so I can find them when I am signed into google on my computer. I don't see how. I see linked contacts but no way to add a new link. It used to be that you could choose. BTW, when I go into google contacts, it also brings up all my accounts, but I can't switch it there either.

I have a set of sony CH-720Ns which I have been using. Previously they have only had the name "CH-720N" when i look for bluetooth devices

Recently however the name has changed to "Headphones belonging to <my google accounts first name>"

This tells me that my Galaxy S23 has somehow decided to link my google account to my devices without my permission. Is there any way to undo this somehow?

Hello! My Galaxy S22 keeps showing the moisture button,, but there is no moisture in there. I have cleaned the phone. I have restarted it with the usb in, cleared usb cache, updated my software, turned off fast charging but nothings working. This happened about two weeks ago but was able to fix it, but now nothing is working. Is there anything else to try?

I want to display what I'm playing on my phone but I think this was the only way

I upgraded and the company didn't send me an invoice so I can't claim the watch however they said they'll give me an invoice within 24 hours could be tomorrow so can I go claim it then or no?

Why are 128gb versions of Tab S9 suddenly out of stock? Did samsung stop the production? Can someone tell me when/if they will be back? Region : India

One of the things I miss about my old iPhone 15 Pro is that I didn't have a case on it, just a MagSafe pop socket. I loved using my phone that way, but I have an S24U now and can't find a way to do that. I can find stickers for the insides of cases, but I want no case, magsafe compatibility.

Is there a way to do that? If I could find a way to use my S24U with no case, just a magsafe pop socket, I'd be pretty damn happy about it.

Usual fix is to unplug tv to close out apps. Always works but is there a quicker solution?

Ordered Bud3 Pro, received email with tracking, and they never shipped. UPS say they never received the package from Samsung. I waited 7 business days and contacted a Samsung CSR. After explaining what happened they were supposed to cancel my order and refund me so I could re-order. They assured me that the $100 promotional credit I used would be applied back to my account. They gave me a case number and assured me that they would personally email me. So far all 3 CSR and supervisor told me the same thing. Still no refund and no email. I keep going around with the CSR. I would just call my credit card to cancel, but I don't want to lose my $100 promotional credit. Looking for another phone or avenue to have this resolved.

Hello,

My dad's TV has these lines that showed up a couple days ago, I asked him if the TV got hit with anything and he said it didn't. He watched shows on the TV one night and the next day the lines were there.

I am convinced the panel is a goner. I am not sure what could've caused them.

is it a goner? what do you guys think, what could've happened to it?

Those lines ain't right. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
