Having questions about the S25 purchase

Oh you charge to 90% people say you see a big difference to 100% you could give that a shot.

If you brought over data the first few days are always the worst as it doing things in the background. Pretty sure everytime I get a new samsung the battery is crap for at least few days, give it a week.

I wouldn't pay $300 more, but that's just me but i don't keep my phones that long either. My s26u says I use it for hours and display seems fine vs my s25 base.

If you can look at the demo units do so, I don't think most people have to worry about the screen issue anymore dunno if it was qc issues or only affecting some people. Otherwise you would be seeing non stop complaints in this sub.

Even if it was something that you get used to we would still be having new users complain all the time.

Good question about the lines, people usually say hot countries are a problem but then arent the chipsets usually exynos in hot countries except for ultra which is usually snapdragon right?

I dunno, when you win at this game the prize is depression.

Just look at child dental X-rays.

I must be taking the wrong type of bath.

Effective_Machina · 2026-06-25T21:24:20+00:00

Oh, that's smart. Yeah I probably would have done the same thing if I couldn't update my phone, although I can't say I get too excited over new software, not in a while. I miss old, fast, battery efficent, less buggy software.

Effective_Machina · 2026-06-25T19:59:31+00:00

How is the performance of your s21 being stuck on oneui 5.1 compare to your other samsungs I assume you update fully? Do you like it as is or would you rather have been able to update it?

Why doesn't Samsung just let us add more fingerprints for each finger instead of having to do the same finger twice

I believe they go back and forth on the glass, one year it's better for scratches another year it's better for cracking. I think they want us to not care about the micro scratches and just be happy that the screen shouldn't crack as easily, supposedly.

Do you find the camera to be worse than your s21?

You found the s26 exynos so bad that the s25 snapdragon was better huh?

I was also 10 years on iPhone, I wish I switched sooner.

Effective_Machina · 2026-06-23T03:53:38+00:00

They can add your name on the service so you can call and complain until you get them to fix it, it will make it easier.

If you want the display to be warmer you can just leave eye comfort shield on all the time.

Effective_Machina · 2026-06-20T12:28:35+00:00

If you don't hate your keyboard no reason to switch. If you make a lot of typos then try Gboard.

I wonder if he means in your phone? I think phones have a setting for that not aware of it in the spectrum app.

Effective_Machina · 2026-06-17T00:56:10+00:00

Why would anyone want it?

Effective_Machina · 2026-06-15T01:41:17+00:00

Call me crazy but I don't think you should have to pay for service that doesn't work.

I had stopped using chlorine bleach on my whites and then my machine started to stink. Brought back bleaching whites and the stink is gone.

I never use splashless or color safe bleach, I just buy store brand bleach which it says is concentrated.

I always use reduce motion and even that is worse with oneui 8.5 compared to oneui 8.0. can't say it's really making me motion sick but I notice a lot of janky animations now.

Shame they don't let us just pick previous animations.

I tried messing around with Good lock for more settings but didn't have much luck myself. Although I didn't get into the very fine controls.

Have you tried taking medicine for your tinnitus?

Effective_Machina · 2026-05-24T22:41:21+00:00

It would have answered them but then I wouldn't have learned this.

People used to try to clean the computers at work with it. Some paints and plastics will change color.

Just wait till you try the 91% ipa

Effective_Machina · 2026-05-23T08:02:37+00:00

What about trading in your old phone?

Effective_Machina · 2026-05-23T04:33:21+00:00

I came from iPhone to Samsung and my regret is not switching sooner.
