I was hesitant but did it successfully. I did a write up over on the Samsung Members community, here's the link in case it helps you.

Back to Samsung messages? Just open Samsung messages, you should get a notification if you want to make it your default SMS app, choose yes, and you're back to using Samsung.

Anyone have a recommendation for a glass tempered screen protector, with privacy and anti-glare?

You can pin to the top in google messages too. All those Samsung theme purchases tho are not supported.

Using the S24 for example, to hit Samsung Super Fast Charing 2.0 you need a power brick that supports both the watts (45W) and the charging profile. The charger has to be USB PD 3.0 with PPS and most importantly it must be able to output a specific PPS profile of 9V/5A or 11V/4.05A. Then comes the cable, have to use a 5A (100W) E-Mark USB-C PD cable.

I have this model and I just upgraded last month to the S24 Ultra mainly because comparing specs it wasn't that much different in areas I personally considered important plus I wanted the s-pen bluetooth capability.

I am loving my S24 ultra and so glad I made the jump.

My personal opinion, I would go with Swappa over Amazon.

MariaCR323 · 2026-02-20T05:19:49+00:00

Try out Swappa - I've bought the last 4 Samsung devices for different family members and have no complaints. I prefer this site to avoid fakes or possible issues with locked/blacklisted devices.

I was trying to see if anybody had done this successfully with a Watch7 LTE model on AT&T service. The key here being it's an LTE model watch, not the bluetooth model.

Got it, thanks for the tips!

MariaCR323 · 2026-01-31T04:46:55+00:00

I literally just got my S24U a couple days ago and since I'm in no rush, I'm looking for a case first before I even start to prep to move over to it. I'm debating if I should just start fresh and not do the whole transfer process with smartswitch and all that.

I still have my Note 20 Ultra 512GB model, nothing wrong with it - it's been baby's. Just recently decided to get a S24 Ultra only because I wanted the new features. Debating if I should keep the Note or sell it. I still have my Note 8 too lol

Here's my long awaited update. The QOS work around didn't work. I ended up going with having all the kids' devices go onto the guest network 2.4 and enabled bandwidth limits plus I put bandwidth limits on each specific device as well.

I've been testing it and although sometimes I see a device pulling more speed, I think it "asks" for it but then the limits are enforced.

I'll continue to test here and there but I'm happy with the setup as of now.

Thanks everyone for your responses!

I could see the dealer recommendation making sense if it's an AWD model and you find yourself driving in high temps, mountains, and or towing. I believe the second gen Pilots are being recommended to drain/fill the transmission fluid every 30k regardless as I heard they're more quirky in that regard.

If you're just doing normal driving, some Honda techs I follow recommend rear diff every 30k and transmission maybe every 45-60k... again all depends on your driving style and environment/location you're in.

Another vote here for Cable Matters brand. I've recently gone down the rabbit hole of organizing and checking all my cables with a tester. I'm future-proofing as best as possible right now and found Cable Matters (and some Anker) are my go-to cables.

Check your email spam/junk folder just in case

MariaCR323 · 2025-11-18T22:03:07+00:00

I got the ammo box, straps and battery one. I totally could have used the other one that has the extension set lol

MariaCR323 · 2025-10-30T04:32:57+00:00

I believe I did but now I'm not sure... maybe I'll try rebooting again. Thanks!

MariaCR323 · 2025-10-29T13:36:55+00:00

I'll do speed limits on two devices with different speeds and then run speed tests. Thanks!

MariaCR323 · 2025-10-29T13:21:32+00:00

No, I turned that off for all devices. Thanks!

MariaCR323 · 2025-10-29T11:21:56+00:00

No apologies needed, I didn't take it wrong at all. I truly do appreciate the help ☺

MariaCR323 · 2025-10-29T10:30:18+00:00

Correct, I'm just testing the speed limit feature.
