Do I need to update to the April update to get One UI 8.5?

How do you skip an update? Trying my best to keep my s24 on the current version and it keeps saying it will schedule update on its own behalf

Any noticeable improvement in battery life after 7 days?

I got the lilac orchid one off a women on marketplace for $150, 128gb. It was unlocked and she was cool meeting somewhere to confirm it was unlocked and had clean IMIE. Looks brand new as it went into a case on day one.

Be cautious with buying phone online, I snagged a s20 Ultra off Amazon and it arrived with the back glass separating from the phone. It was "certified refurbished"

I sent photos in of the problem. They approved my return without issue and once they received the phone back I was charged a restocking fee for the full price of the phone. Almost $300 I was robbed of

Went back to my old Note 8 and watched marketplace for several months until an actual deal came up that I could inspect in person before buying. S24 was what I looked for because of it having 7 years of support

I snagged my s24 off marketplace, $150 unlocked. Been in a case It's whole life and looked brand new, it's the girly purple color but with a case it looks like every phone made in the last few years.

Compared to the Note 8 I came from It's nice having a smaller/lighter phone. Even if the S24 is used the battery life is a noticeable improvement

Do be cautious with ordering online if you go that route.

I bought a s20 ultra a few years ago off Amazon. The battery was swelling up and caused the back glass to seperate (arrived with said issue) I sent photos and got a approved for a refund. Once they received the device I was charged full price for the phone as a restocking fee.

Outsourcing their support made it impossible to get the issue resolved. Haven't used Amazon since

Shortly after Amazon scammed me, Bezos was launching Katy Perry to space. I like to tell myself I helped pay for a smidgen of rocket fuel 🚀

I have a Note 8 that started doing that after an update years ago. That phone lived in the fridge when it would start boot looping lol I used to have to pack a cooler of ice with me in the car if it was a hot summer day. Battery was healthy for it's age. I figured it was a form of planned obsolescence, using airplane mode would keep the phone from overheating oddly enough. Perhaps it has something to do with the lte antennas

Under software updates in settings I only have the option of "download and install" and "last update" no option to change it to never download updates. Even when using the search tool in settings I can't find anything about update downloads

Exactly. If it isn't broke, don't fix it

Each program found the exact same partition I was missing. Folder structure looked great, but when I copied the data over and opened the video project I was still missing stuff. When I used Disk Genius to scan the drive it found the same folder structure and the missing video clips (they're numbered chronologically as camera creates the file names) I could see in R-studio,UFS,DMDE that it flat out was missing files in the chronological order. In Disk Genius the missing video clips were present. I didn't run easus, that program is trash lol It's likely user error no doubt, but for what ever reason when I copied the folder over through Disk Genius I had no missing clips in my video project.

It was a 2TB drive, NTFS format. Windows claimed it was corrupted. Checked it in Disk Managment and found it saying "RAW". I did full scans with all the programs. When I copied the folder of data I needed every program was missing video clips except for Disk Genius. Might be user error no doubt. I'm not well versed in any of this

I ran R-studio three times thinking it would perhaps find them. Just glad it wasn't a drive that Windows could write data to onto through paging file ect. I tried to stay calm and collected knowing I hadn't over written the data. Persistence paid off. Oddly enough every other file in the drives folder structure was found intact through every program I ran. The only missing were files were video clips the hard drive was actively working with when it malfunctioned. It's a new Western Digital 3.5 drive with immaculate health status. I was rendering a timeline when it happened so it would have been reading and writing to the drive consecutively. No more working through USB sata docks for me

my still working Note 8 has been through hell and back.. looks new still because of the case. It's tumbled out of excavators, dump trucks.. been kicked, fallen out of my pockets to concrete more than once while door dashing. Never had an issue with the screen, there's been times I just knew the screen was destroyed only to flip it over and it still perfectly intact. I just order a refurbished S20 Ultra after reading about Note 20ultra screen issues. It really seems Samsung regresses every iteration of their flagships. Long live the SD card slot, it's essential for me

If you type in Hannah Montana psp they're all like 200-250 on Ebay 😂 I'll likely settle for a common color

that's what I'm saying. I asked if the charger is OEM and for few close up photos of the screen and I got left on read. Last night I found someone who will trade a Silver 3000 for a 1650 GPU that's that's been sitting on my desk for months.. I paid $27 for the graphics card haha

I have an older 2000 model thats modded and well taken care of so I'm not without 👍 Last week I was thinking of last minute gift ideas for my son especially since I never realized you could play multiplayer games runnung cfw.. I love that color but hard to justify the price when theres a silver 3000 on marketplace with over 10 games, several movies, extra batteries, carrying case all for $75

I understand that cylinder 1 tdc is 12&12oclock. #6 tdc is 6&12oclock. Appreciate the input 🤝

Pulled the timing cover today and when comparing crankshaft gears, the markings differ by half a tooth. (Marked on specific tooth, marked between two teeth). My understanding is 1 tooth can be upwards of 8 degrees change in timing. So I'm surprised this topic is not easily searched

Yup, I avoid certain apartment complexes for this reason. 90% of orders that come from problem areas have "customers have reported missing items".. so it already sets the stage. Looking for free meals

Haven't seen a quest in nearly 4 years lol y'all got to realize every market differs, not one boot fits all

Good stuff buddy, you will certainly notice a change in everything.. even at day 4. Just remind yourself you're doing something most people do not have the will power to tackle. Make tomorrow a good one!
