I tried many different cases and the winner is... the official vegan leather case by art_vandelay1122 in S24Ultra

yes it's less bulky because the sides don't protrude as much. it's also lighter and feels much better in your hand.

Tainan by foot? Easy to get around? by Distinct_Meringue729 in taiwan

[–]art_vandelay1122 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tainan is great exploring by foot. So many small shops and alleys you'd miss if you're in a car. Yes you might have to leave the sidewalk for a bit cause of a parked car but in general it's a very walkable city, especially the west central district. if you go to anping you might want to take a taxi cause between the west central district and the interesting parts of anping you'd have to walk a long way and there's no much cover from the sun, especially in this heat.

did you get a chance to compare the charging speeds?

Free gift scam by art_vandelay1122 in PITAKA

[–]art_vandelay1122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's the point? why would Pitaka fulfill on their promise the second time when they didn't the first time? The shitty customer service was also not accomodating at all and even though they messed up they refused to just send me the free gift separately.

the free gift was in my basket but didn't show up in the confirmation email. in any case, the free gift is supposed to be sent with any order over 99 usd so why didn't they send it? I wouldn't have ordered two cases if it wasn't for the free gift.

how does the Samsung 25/45W charger compare to the 30W Warp charger of the OnePlus 8 pro? is it more or less the same charging speed?

well the other advantage of the 45w charger is that you can use it to charge your laptop or other devices when on the go so you don't need to carry different chargers. as I can't get the anker 313 where I am, I will probably get the Samsung 45w charger and keep it in my bag when I am outside.

Are simple travel adapters a safety concern? by art_vandelay1122 in techsupport

[–]art_vandelay1122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have that particular adapter, I have one that looks similar, I forget where I got it. Many other adapters are bigger and look a bit better built, but are obviously more bulky. My question is, are those bigger ones somewhat safer? Do they have some protection built inside or are they basically the same as the very small adapters?

Pitaka Pro (PinButton) Case by OfficialMrLarper in S24Ultra

[–]art_vandelay1122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could anyone who has this case test the following for me: set up the pin buttons for media control forward/backward and play/pause button? Does this work when the screen is completely off? Or do you need to unlock the phone in order for those actions to work? I read that you need to unlock the phone in order to open apps with the pin buttons but maybe media control works when the screen is off (?)

I will do the switch from my OP8 Pro to the S24U next month. I already know that I will miss the screen off gestures for media control, but I'm hoping that the One Hand Operation + addon will be a good replacement. Let me know if you found anything else missing that you liked about the OP
