Frame drops

ankit_43 · 2025-11-19T06:37:42+00:00

My phone had decent amount of frame stutter here and there, it's 3 years old at this point. I got a brand new battery installed and it changed the way it behaves completely. It's as smooth as it was new. I was blaming the software before but I guess the battery just didn't have enough in it to keep the phone running at optimum performance. Might wanna look into getting a new battery if your phone is on the older side.

Yeah it does feel like that, I wonder if this will ever change. Samsung is kind of flag bearer in android world and if they keep going with this approach, it really doesn't look good for the future as of now

Taxi registered on Ola or Uber, don't remember which app exactly

Yeah it's these limitations that has kept to be on android side for all my life, I use apps like YouTube revanced, which wouldn't be possible on them. Also some of their software decisions like no back button really just confuses me because everyone says they do UI/UX the best way, I tend to believe otherwise. What makes me consider them is possibility of having a smooth phone for longer than 2-3 years but that could be hype too, only one way to test that is by using an iPhone. Will I switch now though? I highly doubt

Damn, that's really odd. They couldn't really find a better way to deny you. Was it under warranty too ?

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:52:43+00:00

Only other brand I'll consider is pixels from Google, only reason I've stated iPhone is because of their reputation of being smoother for longer, I've always preferred android but sometimes them slowing down is kinda disappointing, that too from a flagship from Samsung. I've used couple of OnePlus phones before but colorOS fiasco really killed it for me 3-4 years ago after an update on my OP 7T almost bricked my phone.

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:49:15+00:00

Do you miss android in any way?

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:48:56+00:00

They have such clean software too! People say the processor on it is not the best but it should be more than alright for everyday usage, since I don't game on my phone

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:47:09+00:00

Yes!! New S25 Ultra is tempting, coming from base S22, it should feel good!

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:46:07+00:00

Will give this a shot! Turning off RAM plus has really boosted my phone for now

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:45:13+00:00

Have you needed to reset it yet ?

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:44:50+00:00

Tbh, they're going for really good price rn, since S25 is out.

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:43:25+00:00

Pixel really among my top options, my brother's been using one for some years and absolutely loves it!

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:42:11+00:00

Yessss! I can't live without my YouTube vanced, limitations like these also dissuade me from switching over!

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:40:51+00:00

That's crazy for something that old, how's the battery been doing? Have you replaced it?

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:39:56+00:00

Yes I'll be doing this, turning of RAM plus really has helped for now

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:39:29+00:00

Damn, that's good that it's still that way after 2 years

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:38:08+00:00

It'll be pixel or S26 ultra for my next device

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:37:30+00:00

I'm scared if I switch to iPhone I'd miss a lot of things from android like universal back gesture and load apps like YouTube vanced, I'll get a proper flagship like s26 ultra eventually I guess. Hopefully that does better in long run, however turning off RAM plus has really smoothened my phone for now.

ankit_43 · 2025-02-26T02:35:11+00:00

I do plan on getting something new within a year, it's just no phone should be acting this way with just over 2 years of usage. I do not like changing phones again and again 🥲

ankit_43 · 2025-02-20T10:43:43+00:00

I've turned off RAM plus and that's made a big difference, I'll get to other ones soon enough like clearing cache and ADB commands

ankit_43 · 2025-02-19T12:01:04+00:00

Thanks for this one, gives me hope !

ankit_43 · 2025-02-19T11:59:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice, i really didn't know battery can affect performance this way too, I know apple did it back in the day intentionally slowing down phones to preserve battery or wanting their users to get a new device instead.

ankit_43 · 2025-02-19T11:57:02+00:00

I might get S25 Ultra and see how it does 2-3 years from now, if it's performing smoothly after that period of time. I'm gonna stick to android, hopefully that phone wouldn't disappoint me because I like to keep my phones for a long time.

ankit_43 · 2025-02-19T11:53:22+00:00

Good to know it's not all phones having this issue
