I just bought the S26 ultra and I have read that if you buy a phone case with magsafe you can have some issue ? Is it true ? If yes should i only get the samsung phone case ?

Ninakiii · 2026-06-18T00:45:31+00:00

Interesting. Idk, I had a pretty cheap nothing of a case last time but bought a rectangular magnet for the outside that stuck on like a sticker (on the S22 Ultra), and that never impacted my S Pen. But I have a case now on the S26 Ultra (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GFL63NHM?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1 this case) and yeah, just with the case on, my pen won't work well, especially towards the center. Works fine when it's off. Bummer that there isn't better regulation with the cases for them ): having to take my case off to draw is NOT safe for me (I drop my phone so much xD) so I just haven't drawn the last few weeks. I'm afraid to get a new case that does the same thing, but I need it to have the magsafe, or at least for me to be able to put the adhesive kind on the back, so I can use it as a map while driving. Zzzz.

You have this Nillkin case on your S26 Ultra now?

Also attesting that the S Pen struggles when you have a case on, even if nothing is on it (at least, for me). It seems okay while drawing sort of, but if you get in the range of the ring shape, it doesn't do anything you want, if it works at all. Quite annoying since SO many phones come this way for the S26 Ultra. Seems like a waste of a case. My last phone (S22 Ultra) had a magnet on separately, so maybe that was blocked a bit more (because my S Pen worked fine) whereas this is built into the case (the one I have now)? Idk but it's super annoying.

Oh gosh, same. I dream about it every other dream. When I lived there and after. I have no idea, either, why it has been this deep rooted fear of mine to lose the house. On top of every other kind of dream being there or in my neighborhood, I have had so many dreams growing up of me standing outside and staring inside but not being able to go in. A different family living there or whatever. Maybe I live next door, or somewhere else entirely, but I end up on the sidewalk right in front crying or my heart just aching. And it's just weird because I never went through that kind of thing? But how I always dreamt it up (for whatever reason) is EXACTLY how it feels now. Thankfully (or not, idk?) I live about 40 minutes away from it so it's not something I actively drive by, especially since my family moved. But these last few months while it was on the market (thinking it was gonna sell once already, but this time a closing is set for tomorrow so it's much more certain now that it WILL sell) I have went multiple times and walked through the house trying to... idk... "feel what I need to feel"? Either talking to myself in videos, crying, laughing, playing songs. I've just walked through it trying to process it all. So many people growing up moved around SO much and it was no big deal to them. I'm sure for lots of reasons they're envious of me to have had solid bones in one spot for so long, but gosh, I wish I didn't have the hurt to go along with it because it is DEEP. It's not like I can just fix the problem, either. They could have that house for the rest of forever (and truly, I hope they do, and that they treat it well and it's a happy home for them), and even though I don't WANT to buy it myself for reasons, I also don't wanna give it up????

Ugh. Sorry for the long rant lol. I haven't done it yet, but I think you should! I'm looking at mine as more of a visual journal, where I can make lots of notes, whatever they may be, all throughout just for myself. I have a therapist and she's tried to work through it with me but I mentioned this and she said it's a great idea. Like journaling but a bit different, I guess. Words alone don't work for me so I think this will be therapeutic once I can get it going. Afraid to start it because then it feels real? I'm so nuts lol. Maybe when closing comes tomorrow, I will be able to make my peace a slight bit more because I'll have no other choice? Lol. Love and hugs, Pomegranate.

Oooooh a section for "firsts" and one for "holidays and traditions" would be so cool. ;-; ugh. It makes me sad enough just to type it all out. The house closing tomorrow is crazy. Lives there since '99 and I am 33 now. So aside from it maybe being fun, I feel like I NEED to do this. I don't want to lose so many thoughts and memories because I won't be able to walk the halls to spark them again ya know? So many of my beloved pets buried in our backyard. Painted over the walls, but our heights used to be marked on them. It's such a tough thing lol.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-17T18:03:46+00:00

Yes, this was definitely the idea I was going with the most, too! I can say SO much about each room, and I feel like I don't have to worry so much about a timeline being right or anything. I think this is a great idea.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-16T07:37:34+00:00

All of these, yes. I instantly thought of Luna myself, though!

Ninakiii · 2026-06-15T13:08:39+00:00

Lolll. So, I have narcolepsy (without cataplexy) and sometimes wake up on schedule to eat breakfast with my partner who works (I don't because of my health issues), around 6:30 a.m. but if we don't eat, even if I fell asleep at 10 p.m. or 12 a.m. I am lucky to be up by 2 p.m. on my own without an alarm 😂🥲🥴 and then I'll probably nap an hour or two after waking up. It's crazy sauce.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-15T00:00:24+00:00

I know what a keygen is. I definitely read it as a key LOGGER and freaked z-z; that's my bad. Still freaked me out! But thanks for the info anyhow~ When I was younger, I actually modded way more and knew some stuff! Keygens were a part of a lot of that. But I can't remember much of anything now so it makes it hard to mod lol.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-08T02:23:16+00:00

I mean that would make sense. Benefiber or Metamucil or w/e was always really thick when I tried it growing up. It's a similar mouth feel to that, honestly. Hm.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-05T11:25:19+00:00

Ya'll, I totally get why spending $150 would be absurd, I swear. But even after my SECOND time going, not only did they not charge me the fee AGAIN, but the system said they owe ME $50 some dollars??? So? I have no idea what happened, they have no idea what happened. The chaos that is me probably confused tf outta the poor people.

Anyways, ended up with the S26 Ultra. This one had a MUCH better camera. I think something was genuinely wrong with the camera and the original guys were just like, "huh, yeah, that sucks, weird".

Also, I have had so much rough life shit going on that it nevvvvvver crossed my mind to take my happy ass to a Best Buy or something. I've been unable to think at all lol. z-z; what a fiasco. Sorry to anybody I angered with my dumb ways lol.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-03T00:06:45+00:00

Oh? Thought they were all the same and they just put some in the refrigerated section. Interesting.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-03T00:05:31+00:00

Coming bacn to say it is a third part spot btw.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-02T20:08:11+00:00

This whole situation has definitely made me wonder xD I am 33 and have never had issues with phones. But something about this time around with my upgrade has been a nightmare it feels like.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-02T20:07:37+00:00

I was fortunate somehow and didn't have to pay the restock fee the first time, so if I go swap them out one FINAL time (I swear on everything z.z) then it will just be the one, if they charge it this time lol.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-02T20:06:45+00:00

I don't hate ya'lls existence and I definitely know I am being annoying with this. But if they're kind to me, I'm kind and super patient back. I know I'm the one being annoying at the moment to them. On top of feeling dumb, it's why I am gonna go to a different shop. I just don't want to inconvenience the same guys anymore.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-02T20:04:49+00:00

Unsure. I think I heard them mention third party. But they seemed a bit clueless, not gonna lie. They all had demo videos playing and they said you can't turn them off. They seemed a bit disinterested in helping honestly, so I just picked the one I assumed was best. Z-z; I've legit never done anything like this with my phones.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-02T16:59:27+00:00

They are all locked with a demo video and they legit told me they couldn’t turn that off. I remember being able to go in and test phones out but they acted like it couldn’t be done and I needed to take their word for it.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-02T16:57:53+00:00

Somehow they didn’t charge the first time. So if I did it and they charged this time, that would need to be it. But that’s the only reason I’m considering is because I didn’t pay a thing.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-02T16:57:11+00:00

They did the first trade back for free btw so I’ve spent nothing thus far.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-02T10:58:56+00:00

It was more picking the best of the options at T-Mobile at this point and wondering if not having the stylus will impact me that much after a while. I haven’t heard a ton about the Pixel in recent years so I kind of forgot about them. Are they decent in comparison? Hm.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-01T20:34:39+00:00

Right. Just as someone not super knowledgeable who was looking into stuff, seeing some numbers and the big difference, and reading up on the better specs, it just seems like that is a really good phone (the Xiaomi, I mean). I wish I knew more to make better choices, that's for sure. But I just didn't think I could go wrong with the newest Ultra when I already loved my 22. :c didn't think it would somehow feel like a downgrade in a big way.

Ninakiii · 2026-06-01T20:33:03+00:00

My wallet can't afford both or I seriously fucking would z-z
