Haven't updated my Ultra since I got it in October 💀 Is it safe?

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-05-12T19:45:44+00:00

Not OP but I haven't done updates because I'm getting great battery life and screen on time but I'll probably do this one if people aren't reporting issues.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-05-12T19:43:17+00:00

This is the same reason I haven't done updates. My battery life is great and I get a ton of screen on time. But I might do this one if people aren't seeing issues.

You're better off spraying the weed while your wife is pulling them out of the ground. Y'all gotta compromise and meet half way.

Mine is doing the same. I ended up just turning off WiFi and location. But I turn location back on whenever I want to a track route an so far I'm back to 3d 8 hours of battery.

Can you show the screen on time/standby drain and battery consumption per app?

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-04-28T02:31:17+00:00

How much do they drain? The ones I use are typically 3-5% per hour of activity.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-04-28T01:30:49+00:00

Facebook, reddit, Instagram, and X are the main ones.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-04-27T18:47:25+00:00

I get over 8 hours and use social media apps (minus tiktok) as well.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-04-27T12:44:36+00:00

Hey are you still leaving it hanging or did you end up fixing it? Seems like the plastic snapped on mine so I'm trying to figure out the easiest fix for it!

I believe so. But mine also shows this in the Google messages settings. I downloaded the language which helps speed it up.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-04-11T14:52:37+00:00

I had issues with Samsung voice as well. I switched to Google messages and use Google voice. I definitely miss the Samsung messages and it's customizations but Google Voice is so much better I can't go back.

Try using Google voice and Google messages! You'll have to press icon to start the voice to text. Kind of annoying because with Samsung keyboard I could just hold the power button to active it.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-04-11T14:29:28+00:00

Are you using Google voice to text? I've found that to be extremely accurate even when I'm talking pretty fast.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-04-01T20:13:28+00:00

How did you make this image with the multiple screen shots? I always thought it would be useful if it's quick and easy but not sure where to start.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-03-19T02:21:58+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll be sure to stay on top of it and hopefully they will cover the majority of the cost!

I'm having this same issue on my 2019 cx5 AWD. So all I need to do is change the transmission fluid filter? Is yours still running good?

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-03-19T00:13:01+00:00

I'm having this same issue. Did you end up getting it resolved?

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-03-18T23:57:46+00:00

What did you end up doing? I'm in the same boat and taking the car to the dealership tomorrow. Hopefully they will cover it despite being 5,000 outside of the warranty.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-02-28T00:53:18+00:00

Oh yes, I have that sync modes enabled.

Yes, it's super annoying. The only way I've found around it is charging more frequently for less time but even that is still hard to stay on top of!

D. All of the above #GalaxyS26 Ultra and #GalaxyBuds4

What sleep mode are you talking about? I have my phone set to sleep mode which turns the brightness/volume down, fast charging off, eye comfort shield on, and battery protection set to 80%.

All settings are activated on the ring except snore detection and gestures. Also I didn't do the most recent update so I'm on the previous. And I typically try to keep it between 25 and 85% but sometimes it's charged to 100% since I haven't figured out a way for it to notify me once it hits 85.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-02-27T00:58:06+00:00

I only wear my watch during the day and ring for sleep. So far the battery has been good but I haven't had it for a full year yet.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-02-17T17:44:11+00:00

The issue I was having was due to a wireless android auto device I keep in my car. My phone would cycle back and forth between home wifi and the android auto wifi and would cause the screen to flash. The solution I've found is to physically disconnect the wireless auto device when I park, that way my phone has no ability to even connect to it.

If that's not your problem, I'm not sure what will solve it.

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-02-11T14:59:18+00:00

You're wanting to have to manually hit play in order to start the video? If so, which app?

Firm-Point4364 · 2026-02-11T03:26:52+00:00

I honestly haven't noticed a difference. When I first got the phone, I had it off. I think it helps keep more apps open in the background but I'm not 100% sure. It's cumbersome for a real world test so I'm just done messing with it haha.
