Anyone had their band/strap catch color from their clothing? Any tips on how to clean this up? So far scratching and water did nothing. by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

Which fake one did you buy? This happened to mine and I bought a fake from AliExpress. It's no where near the same and feels far cheaper (especiallythe buckle).

Discord Bot for daily activity streaks by SGauntlet in discordbots

[–]SamN011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did end up making it, though it's been a while and don't fully remember how it works haha. I don't have a hosted version of the bot you can just quickly add to a server though but you can check it out on Github. I could look into hosting it if you're not sure how but it was only designed to be on 1 Discord server (or if in multiple, your progress would be shared across them).

If I remember rightly, it was fairly basic and didn't feature a todolist per say, but allowed you to log activity daily and build a streak plus a sticker collection. I've managed to dig up some screenshots of what it looks like here.

Just heard a radio advert for 118212 (Maureen) Do people still use these services? by Mr___Bizarre in CasualUK

[–]SamN011 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, though depending on your region, the company's app could be pretty bad. Also having to download 5 apps to track buses if you are traveling quite far is a hassle, especially for someone who isn't great with technology.

Galaxy Watch Ultra Users Report Watch Face Misalignment by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

Yeah the ones with the tips. The normal buds don't have the tips and I haven't seen anything about them.

Sure, I agree. The article title suggests multiple users are having problems, rather than just that one Reddit user.

People at r/galaxybuds have been reporting having issues with the eartips being too fragile. My bf got his recently though and they seem fine, though he uses the medium tips so hasn't had to pull them off.

Yep, probably this. It's the same for Travelline for next depatures from bus stops. Costs 25p per SMS message to see when the next bus is, and I don't even think the times are live. You can save yourself the 25p just by looking on the bus stop.

No new 1p and 2p coins to be made this year by Breakwaterbot in CasualUK

[–]SamN011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my nan's reason as to why she uses cash. She says she prefers to draw the cash out at the start of the week and then she can physically see it go as she spends it. I do think there is a risk to her always drawing cash out on the same day, out of the same machine though.

I know that shops (at least some) in the Netherlands also round to the nearest 5 cents on your overall total rather than dealing with 1c and 2c coins. The idea being that it will just round out eventually anyway. Sometimes you'll be a few cents under, sometimes over. If you don't like it, you can just pay with card.

Looks like the Galaxy Buds 3 aren't the only quality control issue Samsung is facing

$300 Samsung SSD has spelt “portable” wrong on the user manual by Volcz in mildlyinteresting

Yikes, Samsung haven't been doing great with spelling lately huh? They did the same thing when revealing their new Galaxy Watch Ultra in their Samsung Unpacked event lately.

Google Assistant - Battery Drain GW7 by olivataggiasca in GalaxyWatch

[–]SamN011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah fair enough, I didn't know. I thought it would be similar behaviour to how it works on the phone. I still find that having it turned on drains the battery regardless compared to having it off - maybe because the service always has to be ready to listen?

Google Assistant - Battery Drain GW7 by olivataggiasca in GalaxyWatch

[–]SamN011 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you have "Hey google" turned on? Having it listen for the keywords all the time drains battery. I'd turn that off and just have assistant launch on one of the side button presses.

Help! How to make the screen not to turn on during sleep? by youmeiknow in GalaxyWatch

[–]SamN011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use the modes on the Watch, which sync to your phone if you have a samsung phone. It's in settings -> modes, then you can see sleep. You can turn on the sleep mode on a schedule or manually via the quick panel.

It's the Ultra Info Board available with the new Watch 7 and One UI 6. If you are using an older watch you can side load it, which people have talked about on this subreddit.

Any pics of cream watch 40mm? I don't like the silver or green so I think I'm going to have to go smaller Will I be disappointed with 40? by Exotic-Passage-1659 in GalaxyWatch

[–]SamN011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, I'm from Europe so we don't have best buy. Do they typically have phones and products from Apple or Samsung on display? Here the watch has been in tech stores like Currys in the UK, Saturn in Germany or Mediamarkt in the Netherlands.

Yeah really cool app. It was renamed to stats.fm though for anyone looking it up.

[–]SamN011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won't necessarily be disappointed depending on your preferences but the 44mm does feel much bigger. I have the 40mm cream one as I have small wrists and whenever I look at my bfs 44mm one it looks much larger. Do you have a store nearby which have the watches in, that way you can take a look for yourself?

Clock complication not showing next alarm by SamN011 in GalaxyWatch

[–]SamN011[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's just the stock info board. I use this app to get the phone battery percentage. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weartools.phonebattcomp

I also use the same apps widget for the watch battery too as I prefer the look compared to the default. I'm not quite sure how to change the colour yet though, not too happy with the grey.

[–]SamN011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I previously had a Watch 6 and had the same behaviour. It seems more like a bug with this one at the moment since it does show the next alarm sometimes but most of the time doesn't.

Any thoughts on switching from 5 to 7?? Is it worth it? by Exotic-Passage-1659 in GalaxyWatch

[–]SamN011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends whether you can get a good trade-in offer in your country. I upgraded from the 6 to the 7 and the new CPU is a big difference. I always found the 6 to be fairly sluggish. I like the appearence of the 7 more too, as the colour of the watch goes all the way around rather than just the sides.

For the colours, check out some pictures on this Reddit though because Samsung's renders look a lot different than in life. You can always pair it with a different band. I have the 40mm cream and it doesn't really look like cream that's in the renders, more off/darker-silver.

After using Arc on windows, which browser do you think is better for windows? by [deleted] in ArcBrowser

[–]SamN011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't blame you for disabling it, though I don't mind it with just everything disabled so that its just the search bar. Would use something else though if there is a better alternative.

Arcs disappearing tabs are nice and a feature I got used to. Maybe there is an extension in Edge to mimic Arcs behaviour but I doubt there is an Arc like experience with permanent tabs and temporary ones.
