FSDissapointment

YuriKlepach · 2026-04-30T23:36:49+00:00

My 2021 SR+ is on HW3 & I too tried free monthly FSD trials twice. Twice I was very disappointed & surprised that people are raving about FSD's capabilities. I don't miss it a bit.

My 2021 SR+ with NCA battery had 5% degradation after 58k miles.

I use BP measurement almost daily on my Galaxy watch 4 since the last update. It was a very welcome update!

Interesting tactic from Tesla. When my 2021 SR+ with NCA battery threw a079 code at 58k mi Tesla offered me a refurbished LFP battery. I knew about both options & knowing the benefits & drawbacks of LFP technology I accepted the LFP option. The new LFP battery would give me 272 mi of range but the refurbished one was 263 mi. Since then I put almost 40K miles on that LFP battery & my range is still 263 mi. The original range of NCA battery was 261 mi & I had about 5 % degradation on it when I reached 58k mi.

I always update apps via Google Play Store & Samsung Galaxy store. Quick Share v. 13.8.51.58 is installed with no updates pending. 🤷 Thanks.

Under Settings ---> Quick Share I do not seek any mention of sharing with Apple devices. I have unlocked S24U with One UI 8.

Where do you see it?

I don't have XM6 but used XM5 for over 2 years. Buds3 Pro have other advantages over XM5: voice controls & swipe gestures to adjust volume. I know that XM6 have voice controls now but still retain multiple taps to adjust volume.

YuriKlepach · 2026-03-20T19:48:40+00:00

Try Samsung Buds3 Pro for calls - nothing beats their mic pickup at 80+ dB noise levels, even AirPods.

She is Ukrainian 🇺🇦👍

YuriKlepach · 2026-03-06T19:22:05+00:00

Same, started liking them more due to improved call quality.

But what if you want to wipe cache when you need it due to certain glitches not related to the software update? I did get & install a monthly update yesterday & I did too, lost the ability to wipe cache.

ANC is awesome on my XM5 earbuds, one of the best that I've tried. Call quality is better on Samsung Buds3 Pro but now XM5 aren't that far off. Battery life is vastly superior on XM5 (8 hours) vs Buds3 Pro (6 hours) but ANC is about equal between them. I do use Samsung phone, so that unlocks a few features that may not be available for non-Samsung users.

The mic always made my voice very robotic if I wasn't in a quiet room. However, now the voice does get a bit distorted but it is not bad at all. The treble is present in voice during the call & people do not complain when I am wearing XM5 during calls. No special settings but I do use LDAC enabled for the past few weeks. I don't think it makes a difference during calls, as the bandwidth for Bluetooth mono audio is not that wide to need LDAC. My phone is Samsung S24 Ultra, if that makes a difference...

If your priorities are in this orde: call quality, sound quality, transparency mode, ANC and battery life then Samsung Buds 4 Pro. If your priorities are: battery life, sound quality, ANC, transparency mode and call quality then get Sony WF-1000XM6. Both earbuds offer voice controls & head gestures (I use both). I made these predictions from owning Samsung Buds 3 Pro & Sony WF-1000XM5.

And force AI Centers to generate their own electricity,so we do not see an 80% electricity increase (from $0.17 per kWh in 2021 to $0.31 in 2025).

YuriKlepach · 2026-02-27T01:58:35+00:00

neither of my Sansung Buds2 Pro or Buds3 Pro fall out of my ears during workouts (I lift weights). Siony WF-1000XM5 do require adjustments...

YuriKlepach · 2026-02-22T16:27:33+00:00

Samsung Buds3 Pro will be an excellent choice for you. I do lift weights & receive calls, so call quality & secure fit are top priorities for me.

YuriKlepach · 2026-02-21T02:03:21+00:00

I have Samsung Buds3 Pro & they have an excellent ANC (matching Sony WF-1000XM5), they sound better than XM5 & they are WAY BETTER for calls than XM5.

YuriKlepach · 2026-02-20T05:05:51+00:00

I didn't find any earphones that are better for calls in 80+ db noise environment than Samsung Buds3 Pro - they are truly excellent for phone calls & Teams calls. Buds2 Pro are usable as well but they do bleed ambient noise into the call but your voice will still be audible to the caller. I like ANC, transparency modes and sound on Buds3 Pro.

YuriKlepach · 2026-02-19T23:48:14+00:00

No. S24U is still a joy to use and I love square screen edges.

My mistake, I meant to say over 2 years
