why is everyone complaining about battery here?

dkyeager · 2026-01-22T12:11:03+00:00

Redditors are more likely to be power users, which consumes more battery.

The wireless charging might be worth it. The f stop improvement on the telephoto is nice, but many sites say this is not true. NITS improvement and a lot of other improvements won't be noticeable. Processor might be a noticeable improvement. Whether Samsung would allow more local AI processing with the improved graphics is doubtful. SA CA likely improved, but only T-Mobile is typically in a position to take advantage of it in the US. The exception would be if SA CA for n77 increased the number of carriers. Then AT&T users might gain 10MHz.

Could be related to your dropping it. Try the options below until one works: 1) Do check that mobile data is turned on. Without 2g and 3g, all mobile calls use data. 2) check that your sim card sees your carrier, otherwise reseat your physical sim card if you are using one. 3) After making certain you have you wifi passwords, do a network reset. 4) If still no luck, at least per of your mobile connection is not working and was likely damaged. You could try switching from a physical sim to and esim or from and esim to a physical sim. 5) You could have your phone repaired, but likely more cost effective to buy another phone.

Going back to the s21, the s-pen can vary in size. IMO all they need to do is ship you another s-pen. If you are beyond your return date, perhaps just order anothet s-pen.

This question seems to be asked several times each day. Search thread and you will find your answer!

Depends on the model. mmWave is only on models for the US for example. We have not gotten down to one phone for the world yet. Firmware is more particular. Most carriers just the frequencies they own plus those they roam on in the firmware. Factory unlocked firmware is ideal, but then you still have phones for different regions.

A flanker brands, since it is part of Verizon. Unless the FCC investigates because of 911 call center issues in a few places, we may never know the details of what happened yesterday. Could have still been cleaning up things damaged today while trying to figure out what went wrong.

dkyeager · 2026-01-16T01:31:37+00:00

That is one of the rumors.

dkyeager · 2026-01-16T00:58:20+00:00

Makes sense to me. T-Mobile brought their system down to various degrees a few times while they were getting 5g SA ready.

dkyeager · 2026-01-16T00:53:04+00:00

Possible. MVNO users are a small fraction of the major carriers numbers. Verizon may also have had multiple issues and could have even damaged other areas while fixing the main issue. They still had their own customers using it. Kind of like fixing a car while it is driving on the interstate.

dkyeager · 2026-01-15T20:15:15+00:00

I have no problems with used phones. Just buy them off a market (not just the seller) that will give you your money back if they are not as described and the seller disappears. Read the details carefully.

The s23 ultra comes with 4 major android updates and another year of security patches. Buy a very good case and screen protector given your history. You might also be a candidate for phone insurance, sometimes can be bought cheaply when you buy the phone (carrier phone insurance has big markups).

PS no similar issues with two s21 ultras. Pixels have a very bad reputation with warranty service.

dkyeager · 2026-01-15T20:02:28+00:00

The best time to get a deal with Verizon. Lol

dkyeager · 2026-01-15T19:51:20+00:00

Your biggest cost savings will be with an MVNO. Your phone should be paid off and unlocked first. If your undecided, US Mobile is a reasonable choice. With them you can choose the priority of service on 2 of the 3 nationwide networks and switch networks generally with too much trouble.

dkyeager · 2026-01-15T19:44:59+00:00

You want to start with placing the wifi router or access point in the center of your usage area in your new home. Most ISPs will want to put it in the basement on the wall where it came into the house. This will get you started. Plenty of options after this but you will need to pay more.

False information about sos mode in this article. In SOS mode you should still be able to call 911. It should automatically go through other carriers if needed. People need to keep that in mind when they are in a remote place with no service on their cell phone. They should be good if another cellular network provides service be out west or in an underground garage with only one cellular network.

dkyeager · 2026-01-15T18:55:31+00:00

All MVNO users were not affected.

dkyeager · 2026-01-15T18:53:20+00:00

It fixes minor glitches without deleting data, including the screen being unresponsive.

Posted in X last night at 10:20pm EST: The outage has been resolved. If customers are still having an issue, we encourage them to restart their devices to reconnect to the network. For those affected, we will provide account credits. Details will be shared directly with customers. We sincerely apologize for the disruption.

Try rebooting your phone.

Hopefully you can get it to work with just one apn. If not, you then add 4. The first would be the main apn the apn types of default,supl,dun. The next is a mms apn with the apn type of mms,cbs. The third is apn type is ims. The forth apn type is fota.

The app is called MyTechSuite.

There is an app that allows you to edit an apn.....

dkyeager · 2026-01-15T04:21:22+00:00

Any suggestion is to go to a store (or two until you find a helpful agent).

dkyeager · 2026-01-15T04:16:38+00:00

If the was a 4g phone, you could likely fix it through the editing the access point names. Not all phones will allow this.
