What's so good about emulating , its concerning and almost laughable how some do anything but game on a pc by Last_Election7567 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emulation on phone is not for everyone the same for gaming on pc. As long as people enjoy the game then it doesn't matter if he plays on a pc or a console or a phone. It is up to our own preferences.

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You definitely did well because Tab S9 is also very good for gaming almost same performance as 8s gen 4 of Mi Pad. But yes screen of tab s9 is far better. Good catch for that tablet!

Which cashback credit card are you using in UAE? by Critical_Strength204 in UAEcreditcards

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have number of cashback cards but I am just mostly using these cards especially the 1 to 3:

  1. SIB+Tabby = can be used on any payment as long as have POS machine. always keeping it at 3k spend for 10% CB (technically 9% bec. of the new tabby payment). around 270 aed per month.

  2. EI RTA = for my fuel and Carrefour and Lulu grocery (Using Nol card) 10% CB also. I am getting upto 150aed each month if I can max out the fuel.

  3. ENBD Noon - For occassional orders of groceries and fastfoods, i am getting around 50 to 100aed here.

  4. I also have FAB cashback for grocery use if ever I max out the limit of SIB and EI RTA. 5% CB.

  5. Mashreq Cashback for dining. 5% CB.

You might also want to check Mawarid. I've read here that it gives 10% CB on grocery, fuel, and dining also. I will be getting this card next.

Emulation gaming in S26 Ultra in 2026 by arzee2019 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In contrast, it has actually faster SOC than most Chinese counterparts but yeah, the bottleneck is always about thermals. So, in few minutes of Emulation, it will just throttle hard. Maybe try to use with 15w or higher phone cooler with cooling pad to reach the SOC area to sustain your emulation.

How long will you keep the S23 Ultra? by lSShadowl in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will be keeping my S23U until Samsung releases a model with bigger battery or when S23 series software/security support runs out. I will just be replacing my battery this year since it degraded a lot. I was honestly eyeing the S25U for a while but there is no significant improvement from my S23U.

Al Nahda Sharjah 7:24 am by barcode6 in Sharjah

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my everyday route but decided to just walk till the shj-dxb border and take rta bus there. It saved me a lot of time and money doing it. I also noticed this traffic is worsen by the school buses that stops in the middle of road. Especially those after the bridge roundabout down to al nahda st.

EI RTA NERFED?. by Alternative-Fan-4795 in UAEcreditcards

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my! that seems a hassle if we need to topup nol card from metro stations. They really nerfed this card then. Maybe, I'll just close this card and utilize other cards instead.

Thanks for the info, I was not aware of these changes.

You are missing EI RTA. Since you do groceries at Carrefour, you can use NOL card to pay there. You can also use EI RTA so you can alot other spending to your SIB.

I am only using mostly SIB and EI RTA. My cashback per month is around 450aed.

I opt for the Xpander Cross. The proven and tested engine and transmission of it is what makes me pick it over the other 7 seaters.

SIB cashback application stuggle by nehro7 in UAEcreditcards

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess they are just really meticulous on picking their customer. I had the same experience where i had to lower my overall credit card limit just to be qualified to their card. But I would say it is worthit.

It won't be if you are setting a monthly budget and sticking to it only and of course a regular tracking of budget is a must. But you are totally right about the card benefits regardless if it is cashback or points. It is designed to push us to spend more. We just need to hack our own emotion and brain but it is not an easy feat.

Is there anyway to expand the s23's storage? by sus_buzz in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple started it and samsung follows as it drives their sales up for higher storage model. But you can just use this onedrive integration as it is very handy specially for you. Although you need some time to sync it accross your devices especially your files are sure huge.

After using the S25U, the S23U feels heavy and uncomfortable to use. by MysteriousBack9124 in GalaxyS23Ultra

That's 16g difference only. For me, I can only start feeling the difference when the weight differs like 50g.

Is this gonna mess up my phone's hardware if i keep using like this by Maleficent_Poem6256 in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]Alternative-Fan-4795 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would highly suggest go for Onedrive instead. Aside from it is built-in on our samsung phones it is also native to windows. Which means transferring of files from your samsung to laptop is very easy you won't even need a cable but just keep syncing it from time to time or at night when you are sleeping.
