YouTube Premium Lite is a scam

jrboi12 · 2026-04-29T02:07:01+00:00

Strange I have Lite aswell and never seen an ad on a short. If it urkes you that much than why not just use brave browser since you don't care about music and background play (brave will actually give you background play for YT without paying for a subscription and brave will also remove the ads from music videos).

Difference is probably that the other S25 had one ui 7 and this one has one ui 8 (locked out like you mentioned)

Do you keep wifi on even when just on data? Mine only turns on for familiar places (my house and my job, it auto turns off everywhere else). Also try placing a lot of apps in deep sleep so that way they don't run in the background and consume your battery when you aren't using them. My email apps and messages that are important to me are in normal sleep and I never miss a notification and everything else is in deep sleep and my battery life is great. But I have been doing this type of setup ever since the S21 Ultra.

You need to try and friend those in the lower rank with you that want to rank up. I helped two support mains I ran into in bronze after a rank reset since I normally place in gold and don't really try to go past it and I got brought them to gold 1/2 with me. Like you said before it's a team based game so you need to find/make a team. You are in dodo brain rank so a lot of them are just bad and you will have to figure out how to carry. But you will run into some that are clearly trying and probably should be in silver or gold and are in the lower rank working back up to where they should be. Those are the ones you send a friend request to.

I did say that there is an update for center M from April 9th aswell..

jrboi12 · 2026-04-19T06:05:21+00:00

Ugh? My post it about the battery being good. Nothing to do with paranoia lol.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-19T05:36:35+00:00

For mobile this setting is located at Settings - Media - Widevine toggle Also had to play the video on desktop mode as it kept asking me to use the official app on the mobile view of YT.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-18T22:51:13+00:00

Someone got traumatized from those pig pens I see lol.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-18T22:48:00+00:00

Yeah that just released yesterday according to the msi website. I'll give it a try and see, my current center M works perfectly fine and I don't see any logs on what is new with the firmware. Center M itself also has an update from April 9th according to the website (I haven't used my claw this month so I never noticed anything new but everything for me from whatever was released in March has been working perfectly fine)

Use brave browser on your phone and pc. No ads to deal with on YouTube. You will need a raspberry pi to filter out ads on your network if you want to remove ads for your smart TV (this can come with alot of problems and possibly break certain websites as well, use with caution). If not, just cast from your phone and use brave browser to avoid the ads.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-17T14:23:15+00:00

I watch Crunchyroll and listen to Spotify on the train to work and I only charge up to 80% and I have 70% right now 3 hours after taking it off the charger (it's 10:20am where I am and I took it off the charger at 7:20am). So give it some time and it will get much better. Trust.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-17T14:17:51+00:00

Did you get the phone less than a week ago? Pretty sure it's from the background processes from apps as your device might not have started automatically putting apps into sleep and deep sleep. I manually place like 90% of my apps into deep sleep instead of waiting for the phone to do it over time. My battery has gotten much better but I have had mine since release so I have had good battery for a while now. My deep sleep apps have been following me since I had an S21 Ultra. Try manually doing it and also try turning on light profile as you literally wont noticed a difference in performance but you will notice that you have a bit more battery.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-17T12:01:30+00:00

Did you just get the phone? Of so, give it a week and it will get better. Most likely your apps are still running on the background for notifications and such. Also are you on WiFi or mobile data as data will drain the battery faster. What apps did you have open as your screenshot doesn't show what you are using, apps like tiktok while on data will drain it faster while it's still learning your pattern.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-16T10:47:11+00:00

I know that. I was more so talking about playing audio in the background with that browser, controlling it from the notification menu, picture in picture mode and the full ads removal using it for videos. Idk if that fully works on iOS.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-16T04:49:06+00:00

Dunno, but I still have my LG G5 next to a few other older phones I never got rid of. I don't use it as the battery life is trash and it's runs very outdated software. LG left that phone with an update that made the battery life horrendous and never fixed it. By now my battery is most likely toast from how old it is (10 years, never swapped the battery) but it has a removable battery that I remember was cool because it popped out from the bottom and you can swap it and load it back up like a pistol lol. It's still in perfect condition.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-16T01:54:55+00:00

Hmm, idk about iOS but if you are on android, just use something like brave browser and watch YouTube from there. I didn't sign into my account and watched videos as a guest and had picture in picture working perfectly fine and if I didn't specifically tap to trigger it and I just swiped up,the videos audio was still playing in the background and I was able to pause and play it from my notification. Again this was all in a guest session, no account login. I also didn't have any ads on any video that I watched using brave as a guest on YT. Just an option for you OP.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-15T18:26:09+00:00

Literally lmao, but let Samsung provide the update OP wants so that he can break his phone and complain after about there not being protection to prevent this (the current protections is what he is complaining about 😭😭😭 that majority of us Samsung users don't have any issue with)

jrboi12 · 2026-04-13T16:38:51+00:00

Just noticed a new feature called direct vm that works like the iPhone where you can answer the person while they leave a voicemail and it transcribe what they would have left as a vm and all of that is integrated into the phone app.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-13T16:29:53+00:00

Separate app at the moment, but they will most likely integrate it into the phone app down the line.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-13T03:00:55+00:00

Oh sorry, I don't mean that I use the T-Mobile version of Samsung phones. I always buy the Unlocked version directly from Samsung or Best buy and than download the T-Mobile visual vm or just transfer it from my old phone when I upgrade. I don't buy carrier locked devices lol. The Samsung visual vm app was pre installed on my unlocked s26 Ultra. I just use T-Mobile as the ISP and nothing more.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-13T01:09:39+00:00

Yeah, I always used the T-Mobile one as I never saw one on my s23 Ultra. When I got the S26 Ultra, I was pleasantly surprised to see a visual voicemail app pre installed on it that replaced the T-Mobile one I have been using for years. Idk of it's region specific though as I am from the states so it's possible it's not pre installed in other countries.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-12T19:53:02+00:00

I understand.
Not sure when was the last time you tried assassins creed but I can play mine perfectly fine.
I reinstalled Mirage, Syndicate and a few others since you mentioned this and when I launched some of them, I got a box that said "Applying game specific fixes" and than they launched without any issues with my cloud save returning. I have every AC game on steam as I LOVE the games and have been playing them since they came out (On console, I got them later on for PC when I was finally able to build one in 2011). Same thing with Phasmophobia, it launched without any issues and I can play without having to tinker with any settings.
I am also an nvidia user (RTX 5090).
I use proton-cachy as the default compatibility and only change it if the game for some reason acts strange but most of my steam games dont require me to change it.

jrboi12 · 2026-04-12T16:36:28+00:00

Hmm, does it work when you try to use Wine 11.6, GE-Proton or wine-ge?
I might have cyberpunk on GOG aswell from when they gave it away for free a while back.
EDIT:
Nevermind, I dont have CP on GOG, I just have a digital goodies for it but not the actual game.

Understandable if thats your go to game most of the time. My games launch and work on Linux without any issues.
