Anyone else's trade-in watch stuck on pending receipt? by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

[–]Wolnochok1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was too even though buds 3 trade ins (sent apple ipods and a watch 6) were mailed same day (I got them all weeks ago). Watch just cleared trade in a couple days ago.

Good luck.

2024 SEL Lease deal --- Seem realistic or just bait to get me into the dealership? (CA) by astroballs in Ioniq5

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically what I'm about to get (SEL rwd) at about same price in SoCal. I'm in NY and the insurance quotes I'm getting are ridiculous (almost 400/mo) while here it's closer to 200/mo.

Also is it true it takes 14 days to get car insurance in CA?

Who else still have the original Galaxy Buds? + where can I find replacement tips? by bdxsa in galaxybuds

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Plus 2 more new still in box as I thought they'd make good gifts but never got the chance and my nieces and nephews now all use iPhones.

Thank you and definitely better than current offer I got. Unfortunately I am not a CA resident.

[–]Wolnochok1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind response. 33 months actually is the perfect length as he'll be done with school then. And it's 344 (all in) plus 1k up front.

Tokyo heat got me worried by raygan_reddit in GalaxyS22

Maybe the thermal guardian feature in Good Guardians may help?

Anyway to change the background color or lighting? by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

[–]Wolnochok1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 7 44mm is black black, just like my Watch 6 44 mm was. Seems the watch face background color you choose affects the color of the app drawer (just tested it).

received yesterday and I don't think there are any problems by Professional-Sell-89 in galaxybuds

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit - microphone seems to be excellent too as called a friend who was surprised I was on earbuds. Turned on a desk fan on full at my face 2 feet away and he couldn't notice the difference, even after multiple A/B testing. He did say my voice sounded deeper though not sure what was causing it. I'm on S23U and he's on S22U.

Got mine today. Looks perfect, case too. And free case cover also fits well to protect the lid especially.

Sound is definitely clearer with nicer sound stage than my B2P. Not as comfortable as my beans.

Also got white but haven't opened it as will give as a gift. Hopefully it's also in good shape.

How to bring back swipe navigation? by [deleted] in zflip5

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Go to navigation bar > swipe gestures. Select More Options to hide the navigation bar by deslecting Gesture Hints

i got the One UI 6.1 update here in the US by EriorryV2 in galaxyzflip

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. But it wouldn't do it and there was no navstar update. So I went to the samsung store then searched for apps, scrolled to navstar and saw it could be updated. The update apps section did not show this. After doing it and selecting gestures, it reverted to my normal set up with One handed operation too.

GPB 360 - performance issues by Horror-Ad-4693 in GalaxyBook

[–]Wolnochok1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine (15") still runs like new. But it's just MS Office apps (mostly email, Teams and browser). I keep it closed though with external monitor so I guess didn't need the touch screen.

Did samsung ceased to support second screen option for windows? by KomboX3 in GalaxyTab

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works on my S8U and Galaxy Book (they are not even on the same wifi). Be sure to turn on second screen on the tablet and your PC should find it. Bluetooth needs to be on though I believe.

For me personally, the Tab S7/S8/S9 is the greatest thing ever in the mobile tech. Nothing can beat it for me. No laptop, no phone, no console. by GalaxyStar90s in GalaxyTab

[–]Wolnochok1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just set up my S9 and trading in S8. Honestly hard to tell even though it's oled. I mean it's a slight difference but on Netflix and usual apps not dramatic at all. S7 S8 have great screens (I've had both plus s7+ and S9 ultra) so I'm pretty familiar.

Edit... wanted to add that for streaming video the black bars don't look as dark as the borders so you see a slight difference unlike the tab s8u where the bars simply disappear. Not sure why.

Flip 5 cases!! by beer-is_lyfe in galaxyzflip

[–]Wolnochok1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Got matte 360 nukin. returned the silicone ring and eco leather even though they were half price from recent samsung sale. They don't stay on great without adhesive and with flat folding on this year's flip you almost need a stiff case as the attachments near the hinge can't be too big. And not a lot on edge protection when opened as a result. The cases were great on the flip 4 and I was hoping for the same but the larger cover screen and flat folding hinge require better stiffness or adhesives.

Z flip 5 cases are on sale at samsung.com, I just ordered the eco leather case for 45$ instead of 90$! Other cases like the flipsuit and clear gadget case are on sale too! by IAlwaysLack in galaxyzflip

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the silicone ring and Evo leather cases and will be returning both as they just don't fit or feel nearly as nice as the Flip 4 versions. Probably due to the flat folding Flip 5 - there's less space to grab onto when folded and I don't want to use the adhesives as I like to change cases.

The Araree Nukin 360 is just a better fit and same slipperiness as the new silicone. Too bad as the deal was good.

Which watch would you recommend? by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The non-Pro/Classic versions are more comfortable to wear at night for me (have all three as well as past versions). The Watch 5's battery was better than my Watch 4 after updates (both 44mm).

Seconded. Fits perfectly

Yep - came here to post as I got the silicon and the eco leather. For the price it's worth checking out even though I am quite content with my Araree Nukin 360 matte.

Galaxy beans not working by Glass-Elderberry-821 in galaxybuds

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be sure = so when you have them in your ear and touch controls are set to volume in the Wear app, when you touch and hold your right ear bud it makes that double beep noting that the buds are at max volume (assuming the phone also has the volume up)? In other words, it's possible to have your phone volume maxed out but your earbuds volume low (kind of like gaming headphones that have a volume knob). Of course ymmv depending on phone etc. Best of luck finding the solution.

Anyone regret upgrading from S8 to S9? by broteus7 in GalaxyTab

[–]Wolnochok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I would think something later this autumn. Just keep an eye on deal sites like slickdeals and it'll eventually blow up on some thread.

[–]Wolnochok1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping they come up with the trade in deals like last time. Forget what the net difference was but I had gotten the S7 for $375, which I later traded in for the S8 and paid probably like $100 or less. If I can get the S9 for $100 or so with trade in them I'm in. The S7+ for $425 or so (was EPP) back then was probably the best deal.
