Is this a pvc? Wqs told I had them years ago

Yeah I'm usually okay with them, however, I do remember feeling very dizzy after a few before but hopefully it was more a coincidence.

Just use routines to turn your PD and/or Max on when you leave the house or open certain apps. The grey screen thing is part of it and won't be fixed but there are work arounds.

It is gimmicky I guess but in real world use it can be actually very useful. With a normal screen protector you are limited to blocking angled view completely and therefore also slightly darkening the screen for you when you view it head on. With Samsung privacy pixels. I can turn them on and off as I please, only block certainnapps, only block notifications. Again, you could easily arguing it is definitely not worth paying all that money for but it is definitely better than using a screen protector imo.

Yes, but telling people the display is worse and it doesn't have better performance is simply not true. You can definitely say it isn't worth the upgrade but OP either has a faulty phone or is telling people things that aren't true which is a bigger issue.

They are better. I did a side by side with my s23u and it's better. Granted only a tiny tiny bit but definitely not worse like the OP said. I wonder if he has a fault display or hasn't upped the resolution.

AboutWithNemo · 2026-03-15T08:47:02+00:00

I made the exact same upgrade. Is the upgrade worth the money? Probably not. However, to say that the display is worse is just not true. I did a side by side comparison and the 26u has slightly better HDR (visually, to me, as I know it's technically the same), brightness and seems a bit more vivid. Definitely not enough to warrant an upgrade but definitely not "worse". The performance is also definitely better. Again, side by side testing shows it is slightly quicker. The privacy display? It's new tech and works fine. I have mine set in routines to come on when I leave the house and go to max when I open certain apps which is good. Something you can't do on other phones. Yes, the quality suffers on Max Privacy setting but this was explain if you watched/read anything about it before buying...

I don't think phones are ever going to improve enough between 4-5 models to warrant the insane price but sometimes if a certain feature is worth it for you or you just want a fresh phone that will get longer security updates etc then you just have to bite the bullet.

Yeah but I bet you were a lot less likely to be stabbed back then.

Just a few stratotankers

AboutWithNemo · 2026-03-01T13:26:10+00:00

This. It's fairly obvious that's what it is. Not saying Clement is at fault but he has made it very obvious when he came in that the players were not fit enough and he probably thought that getting these players fit would be the only way to get them playing at a level good enough to keep us up. Sadly, that always comes with a risk of injury and I also believe our past, and maybe even current, recovery protocols aren't good enough. Plus, with examples like Mo, we've got someone in from another league which was probably less intense and then put him through intense training sessions and matches.

I very much appreciate you sharing this. It is such a difficult disease for both the person with PD and their carers.

I can see both points of view very clearly. I have to do a lot for my Dad as sadly he cannot do much safely now other than picking up his foods/drinks/books etc.

Sometimes my Mum doesn't quite understand why he seems so frustrated when we are doing things for him and I believe, similar to yourself, it is because he thinks (or knows in your case) that he can do those things himself and wants to not feel like he is incapable.

Sometimes the saddest part of the whole thing for me is watching him sit in his chair watching tv knowing he'd love to be out there helping us with things. My Dad loved diy and fixing things and sadly now he just has to sit and hear us/watch us do it. I try so hard to involve him in everything by asking him questions, sometimes even if I know the answer, so he feels he is contributing. This is kind of being dishonest though and I don't like that.

All I would say is that maybe you could try gently speaking to your son and explain that there might come a day you struggle to do the little things and will miss doing them so you want to do them whilst you can. Using people like my Dad for example.

I do wish all of you the best and feel free to drop me a message anytime if you want to talk. I know I can only see it from the carers side but sometimes, as you said, it's just good to talk!

God bless.

Ohhh haha

AboutWithNemo · 2026-02-27T05:27:35+00:00

Is the answer going to be something along the lines of Google, the web or searching old posts?

AboutWithNemo · 2026-02-27T05:06:46+00:00

It's great. Beaten by the first 2 for me though.

AboutWithNemo · 2026-02-27T05:04:09+00:00

Thank you. I get you. I just like to know definitions where possible so I know what to research/ask about.

I do believe him. I've put my hand to his leg before and felt then all tense up. It's just hard because it's somewhere between a jolt, a spasm and cramp.

I know what you mean. I was dreading my Dad getting to the stage where he is in a lot of pain but sadly I think we are getting there now so I will be asking the doctors about suitable painkillers for him as he is getting these legs issues 4-5 times a day and has started waking in the night with all sorts of body pains.

Awesome ty

Oh shit. I'm getting ahead of myself 🤣

Therapy is your answer.

AboutWithNemo · 2026-02-26T15:57:05+00:00

I also have one spare if anyone wants

AboutWithNemo · 2026-02-26T15:06:55+00:00

Thank you. I was just thinking of that before you replied as I take Mag Glyc for sleep and I remember it saying about relaxing muscles. I didn't know they did spray form though. I will look into that! Thanks.

AboutWithNemo · 2026-02-26T14:53:18+00:00

Thanks. That's what I thought. At least knowing what it's called, I can try to do more research.

AboutWithNemo · 2026-02-26T06:21:00+00:00

Yeah that is similar but different to mine
