Hello all! Loving the phone so far, could move all my WhatsApp msgs so I'm happy. Just a few questions:

-how can I turn on writing with the finger pressed? (SwiftKey??) -how do I turn on android auto? Could link to the car and get audio but waze or a menu didn't display. It is a Toyota rav4 2024 if that matters. -could transfer all images but all have the same date, which is the date of the transfer. How can I fix the date of the data?

Thanks! Have a great Monday

Why would you do this ?

I just had to re-attach the back cover which had fallen off, how does this mean i had to turn off maintenance mode and pattern + fingerprint? I have no words. This country is doomed.

I've always got the guy at the phone shop to do it previously. Thanks

I'm contemplating on the redmi note 13 pro plus 512gb or the Samsung a55 12/256gb as it can include an SD card. My main appeal for the redmi is the fast charging which is important to me. But at the same time I like the a55 build and look of the phone.

My main concern is is there any unusual battery drain issue on the redmi phone and do both of the phones have laggy performance?

Edit: I did some searching online and turns out this update is wat older than I expected, anyways I managed to change it back with Goodlock and Navstar, thanks anyway!

Hi all, today i installed the new software update on my S22. However I instantly noticed my navigation buttons stayed on my screen, when I got my phone I used the hide option in which I can swipe up on the place the buttons are supposed to be.

When navigating to the settings to change this back to the hidden option, I noticed they unnecessarily changed this option. It's still possible to hide the buttons but now I have to swipe on the sides of my screen which only works half of the time.

Does anyone know if the old layout still exists and I'm missing something or if they will come back later? If it isn't possible to get those options back, does anyone know if it's easily possible to revert to an older software version?

Thanks in advance!

I purchased a A15 one month back. Its in warranty. It works normally if I stays at home. But whenever I am outside and keep phone in pocket for like 30 min, touchscreen stops working. This happens almost 50 percent time I go outside. I visited a service centre, but on that day it didn't happen. I thought to use this phone same way for few years, but yesterday I was outside, and my phone got hung and didn't work even after multiple hard reboot. The phone is almost garbage and I have to buy a new phone now. How can I escalate this to samsung? My office work requires constant phone access, so I cannot leave the phone at service centre/keep hanging unless i buy another phone. I bought this phone because i was low on budget, and now I have to buy two phone. Please suggest.

I'm trying to purchase a Galaxy s24+ using Samsung Financing. I know they went to Affirm now, but Affirm isn't giving me zero interest payment options. Chat keeps telling me to call affirm, but they're closed right now. Has anyone experienced this before and know of a workaround?

There are rumors that the Samsung Galaxy A56 might feature a 12GB RAM option. The Galaxy A55 also offered a 12GB RAM variant, but it was limited to India and a few other regions. Is there any information on whether the A56 will follow the same approach, or will a 12GB version also be released in Europe?

I remember 15 years ago I thought that Samsung appliances were just simply reliable and amazing quality products. Fast forward to now and 5 out of our 6 Samsung appliances have problems less than 6 months after owning them.

Dishwasher - plastic coating is coming off and just rusting.

Dryer - doesn’t actually dry things all the way. Washer - literally drips water from the door after a load is run. TV - slow response time when tabbing over to different applications, some times apps just don’t work (maybe just an Amazon Prime problem).

Refrigerator - the ice dispenser is positioned so far back small pieces just fall outside the glass and create pools.

Literally the only decent one has been the oven.

Do I just have terrible luck or has the quality really just gone down hill?

I own s22+ and have been using it for a couple years now. No real complaints except for maybe short battery life. I am getting an offer to get s24fe almost free of cost from my sim plan carrier. I just don't want to upgrade for the sake of upgrading. As far as I can see, there isn't any noticeable difference between the two phones. Shall I upgrade? Or maybe wait till next year for a good deal on s25?

It seems like my phones vibration intensity has spiked a little after installing the latest update...did anybody notice that or is it just me?

Just recently I swapped from the base S20 to the S24 Ultra and am wondering if there's any important or massive changes, ignoring the obvious ones, between the two.

should I keep my charger on while I update my phone even when it has 80 to 90% of battery, somewhere I read that its batter to keep charger plug in to keep phone battery health good and for other reason while updating phone, what are your views

I fell asleep and left my phone on the bed, it slid down the pillow. When I woke up it was Incandescent, I mean, INCANDESCENT.

It stung to touch, I was terrified, I had the quick thinking of running outside in the icy air and it got cool in less than a min.

I am scared because it stings(electrically?) To touch as it had no ventilation system under the pillow, writing from it rn, did I fry the phone?

I should still be on guaranteed pediod, should I have it checked by someone?

I'm currently travelling to Germany from Australia and I've gotten a physical sim card that works over there. When I've turned on my phone it says that it's connected to the network. However, I need to use roaming to connect with it. Will this actually use roaming, and it'll cost me extra. Or do I just need to do this to connect to the network, but it'll use the data from my sim card and not cost extra??

Kinda have a thing for power banks (got dozens in the house), but while most 25w+ ones support the standard 'super fast charge', finding ones that can do the 45w mode on the bigger samsung phones and tablets isn't easy.

baseus picogo 10000mah battery with built in cable.

Have a similar design one from Anker before that maxes at 30w.

whats great about this is, the weight and size. I've tested other high w 10k powerbanks that trigger super fast charge 2.0 and those are generally kinda beefy (mostly because they can do 65w+). cuktech 10 and the anker prime hybrid 960mah are about 300+grams vs this baseus' 200ish g.

battery capacity feels similar to other 10k ones ive had. charged my s24u from 25% to 90% and the battery went from 100 to 50 (a neat feature is you can tap the button to toggle battery % and watts out)

the baseus is currently $30 with the coupon on amazon.

if you want a beefier battery that can do super fast charging 2.0, i like the samsung official one, but it recharges fairly slow and its not cheap, but its pretty light (350g)for a 20k battery.

cuktech (funny name but it is a xiaomi brand so its pretty legit) 20k battery supports 45w mode on samsung phones and its really cheap. Generally around $24 on amazon.

Been using the S10+ for about 4-5 years and have zero complaints. I got it just for the blood oxygen detector and expandable memory but was impressedwith everything. Battery life was going slightly downhill and I upgraded to an S24 ultra a week ago. Now I am not sure if i made the right choice. Apart from the AI gimmics, I realise that the diaplay quality isnt as good as S10+ and I've also lost a whole bunch of things like the dual cameras in the front, 3.5mm microphone port, expandable memory, blood oxygen sensor, actual aperture control on the lenses and some other stuff. Only thing I am impressed with is the fingerprint sensor. I am half tempted to sell this and get an excellent condition used s10+.

Looking to save some money and trying to find a TV equivalent of a gaming/editing monitor

Samsung refunded me my amount back for my order, but it still shows Order Placed.. and the old amount still pending.. is this normal?

I figure there's got to be some way to use the cover screen as a clock that stays on all night on the bedside table. Not the tiny little time and date that you normally see on the cover screen, but a proper "large" time that I can read with groggy eyes...any ideas?

hey!!! first post here, yay! so i have a iphone 11 and im getting for christmas a s24 fe and i was thinking if im going to feel THAT much of a jump or is it just hype? and also is the camera better than my ip11? Thanks beforehand! ❤️

Coming from A50 to A52 then recently upgraded to A55, I'm so disappointed :(

I really like A52's camera and the front cam photos are so much vibrant compared to A55. (Tho I like the back cam of A55, just the front... ) Selfies taken from A55 is so dull and washed out. I look sick :( My skin and lips look dark and pale. I know it's a midrange phone but I always like A5* series and it's what I can afford.

Is there a way to fix this? Do you guys think the selfie quality will improve after a few updates in the future?

Is it like this? Or is it a way to resolve this? Please let me know because it's annoying scrolling that much since the note has like 500+ codes.

How to confirm if factory reset is properly done?

Phone

• After factory reset does it show the "Welcome" screen and the Blue button.

Watch

• After Factory reset does it show the "Lets go" yellow screen. 

Got a couple of IPTV apps available in the store.

Curious as to which app is the best that has an option for XStream services, not just M3U.

Read somewhere that it's got some things that make it nicer to Google wallet. I downloaded it but it says it's not available on my s22 ultra I run the S908E

My husband lost his Samsung phone and he just got a new one. It loaded all his apps and settings etc. But all his photos in his photo gallery are gone. He does not know if he backed it up on anything or not. Does Samsung do automatic backups or is there a way he can find his photos? Any method we are open to! Please help! It’s over 10 years of photos on there and he’s devastated.

Note that I haven't done much testing in HDR yet so my opinion is based purely on SDR differences.

I use my TV as a PC monitor. I bought the QN90D to better prepare myself for my next gaming PC in 2025 when NVIDIA releases their 50 series cards.

The Q70R can't handle 4k 120hz without some sacrifices, because the bandwidth isn't there. In this way the QN90D is exactly what I wanted and displayed 4k at 120hz no problem.

However, I was also expecting some major advancements for brightness, contrast, and color accuracy, and I'm seeing very little difference. After calibration, the two TVs look virtually identical watching SDR content and gaming.

This surprisingly even includes contrast...and in some situations I noticed the older Q70R performing better. For example watching The Expanse, one scene ends and fades to black; the Q70R goes completely black, while the QN90D kept the backlight on for that second or so until the next scene, showing a dimly lit full screen with light bleed all over the edges, instead of going completely black. Tested multiple times in case it was a fluke. It was not.

Here is the only major difference I noticed where QN90D outperforms the Q70R consistently as far as picture. The Q70R can't match the brightness of the QN90D without bumping up the contrast boost to "high." However, doing so blows out details ever so slightly in some very bright areas like light bulbs and other direct light sources on screen. So basically the QN90D shows a bit more detail without having to sacrifice brightness.

Yes, that's definitely an upgrade, but I was honestly expecting so much more. 6 years later, same or higher tier in the Samsung lineup, and a fully newer tech (mini LED/neo QLED vs standard LED/QLED). But I have to have both TVs next to each other displaying the same content for me to really see the differences and I still am squinting to do so.

The QN90D is also notably worse as far as color calibration out of the box. I had to adjust both red and green because skin tones looked bad. The Q70R looks fine without any adjustments.

I can return the TV but since it's not technically defective the store can charge me a restocking fee. Although if I return it then I'm probably switching to the Hisense U8/U8N which is apparently better than the Samsung in most ways according to Rtings.com, despite being hundreds of dollar less. Main reason I probably won't do that is the U8 apparently performs significantly worse when viewing at an angle, and I often have company sitting a bit off to the sides.

Most likely I'll just hold onto this TV until/unless someone releases a 240hz OLED television. At 120hz, juddering is unbearable when it comes to PC monitor use.

Again, none of this accounts for differences in HDR performance. Windows handles HDR terribly, especially Windows 10, and my current computer doesn't have Win 11 compatible drivers so I'm stuck with Win 11 until I upgrade next year. Hopefully once I upgrade to Win 11 I can get HDR dialed in as the default and then I'll see that I was missing out on something.

I typically try to replcae my cell phone every 5 years, give or take. My previous phone was the Samsung S8. I got the S20 FE sometime around November 2020.

The back of my S20 FE is starting to crack....so I know it is only a matter of time before it goes. Its exactly 4 years in too, so I'm definitely looking to upgrade soon.

Right now, the S24 FE is on sale for $470ish. The Samsung A35 is around $300.

I don't really follow prices. Are these likely to the cheapest these phones will be for the next 6 months? Will they get cheaper than this when the new models drop in Jan/Feb?

If this is the cheapest they will get, I'll go ahead and grab one of them....otherwise I can wait another 2-3 months.
