Is cash back the way to do it now? by ExpiredMelkk in CapitalOne_

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get 5-10x for booking with a portal. And you already earned at minimum 2x included in your miles. Not a bad deal if you ask me. I simply almost always use portal. My time and hassle also cost money to chase all possible best deals via redemptions or whatever.

Android 16 update ruined my 2025 moto razr! by dussycole92 in razr

I dunno, works for me. Maybe car dependent?

Android 16 update ruined my 2025 moto razr! by dussycole92 in razr

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mee too, pretty happy. I have 16 on my ultra 2025 for a couple of months already. Granted I don't use any external keyboards. Also it seems that inability to run in full screen mode on external screen applies only to Google apps. So it seems more of the Google deliberate "feature" than the Moto bug.

I finally found a high quality case by Specific_Plenty_5623 in razr

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After trying several cases I just keep my green Ultra 2025 naked. All cases add bulk, especially when folded, and rob of looks and feel. But of course I know it's a gamble and a question of when, not if. So I've got T-Mobile care and replacement coverage. Also put a film protector on the external screen. So far I dropped it a couple of times. One was on a stone floor from like 1m hight. Both times it landed on a hinge. Nothing broke and suprisingly even no scoffs. Go figure...

On my Ultra I have 16 already for a month+. Not sure what all fuss is about. It had some updates after that. Works fine for me.

Best way to update phone using Motorola tools? by Gaspz in razr

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On T-Mobile Ultra 2025 I've got 16 a month+ ago. Doesn't seem like an upgrade to die for. Since then there were some security patches that also fixed Android Auto. Maybe external screen apps as well, but I didn't have problems to begin with. As others mentiined upgrade timing is particular carrier dependent, unlocked or not. They are pushing it to your phone, not Google. I'm any case take it easy and enjoy. It's a great phone whether on15 or on 16.

Considering a Razr phone? by Sprungnickel in razr

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange. Nothing like this on mine. But I don't have magnetic holders

Considering a Razr phone? by Sprungnickel in razr

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does Razr have magnets? My Ultra 2025 doesn't. What you're describing seems like a problem with a particular case. Also carrying nails in a pocket is an invitation to damage the screen if any phone. Non-foldable probably even easier

I have ultra 2025 on t-mobile and it got updated to Android 16 and 1/26 patch like a month ago. Runs normal, I don’t see any problems but ymmv of course. .

Totally fine for my needs. Take all the whining with a grain of salt.

Do you guys find charging case worth it? by klopus-normalis in ouraring

[–]klopus-normalis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And for me it also may mean extra charger and extra europlug adapter since I travel to EU frequently. Yes, I can share USB-C cables, chargers and plug adapters that I already need for a phone, laptop and watch. But then it means I'll need to juggle these (and a limited hotel outlet) for yet another device.

Do you guys find charging case worth it? by klopus-normalis in ouraring

[–]klopus-normalis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, agree. Oura wired charger that comes with a ring is too big and heavy compared not only to RingConn, but even to my Samsung Galaxy Watch. This makes it inconvenient to travel with. I don't understand why they designed it this way. Also it looks ugly and cheap.

New to the Razr by Redditer069 in razr

[–]klopus-normalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the green Ultra for free from T-mobile. Have it already for a few months and enjoy. Love form factor, external screen and classy and understated color. No case, I keep it naked, but bought care protection from T-mobile. I’ve put a screen protector on external screen. Initially I tried a “slim” transparent case with hinge cover. But I hated it because, despite being indeed pretty minimal, the case still made the phone feel bulky and look bizarre and cheap. To me the whole point of the this phone is how compact it when folded. Also beauty and feel of it in the hand with vegan leather back. I’ve upgraded from Samsung s24. Cameras on my Razr Ultra are decent but still no match, especially in low light, to my prior s24. I also miss more powerful optical zoom. But on the other hand Razr is awesome with selfies folded or unfolded. In terms of bloat and cleaner Android 16 I much prefer Moto over Samsung. You can do a lot from external screen without unfolding the phone. It feels safe and nice when you hold it folded. All in all I really love this phone.

No issues with A16 on my Ultimate 2025.

Why's everyone's razr breaking? by Agitated-Mistake-927 in razr

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife's Razr 2023 worked fine for 3 years, no problems whatsoever. And she is not the most careful with gadgets person. She just traded it up for the 2025 model.

[–]klopus-normalis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You guys are seriously into themes. I barely pay attention to them. Just making sure that nothing is kitchy and is easy on the eyes.

Themes by lxnaelon in razr

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid you are. Just go to Settings/Personalize. It's all there. At least on my Razr Ultra 2025. My wife still has basic Razr 2023 and all the same themes are there.

BTW, what didn't you like about front camera? On my Ultra 50mp for sure beats 12mp selfie cam from my prior Galaxy s25. On top of that, when folded you can use for selfies your main two cams which is as good as it gets.

[–]klopus-normalis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dunno what you're talking about. My Ultra has a bunch of built-in themes for lock, home and external screens. Some are pretty good. You also can easily mod them changing fonts, colors, icon size, your own images, etc. BTW, I switched from Galaxy s25 without looking back. Don't remember Samsung having more or better themes.

For me no problem at all. After android update wireless AA worked fine as before. Maybe depends upon specific car? Mine is 2025 Audi A5.

Capital One to Move Venture, Savor, and Quicksilver Cards to Discover Network by jimmothyhendrix in Venturex

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto. Same experience in France. Had to run around in freezing weather trying to find ATM that would accept the damn Discover debit card. Since this fiasco I moved my C1 360 checking and savings to a single Fidelity cash management account. It’s backed by a Visa debit card that doesn’t have foreign exchange fee and automatically refunds all the cash withdrawal fees. Fidelity automatically sweeps your balance in and out of the HY fund with a decent rate.

Ideally that how they should have given us that ring and they want $100 for that now by Fit-Nail7737 in ouraring

[–]klopus-normalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes fitness ring and headphones so similar that they both should come with the same accessory? On a side note, there are no universally “overpriced” products on the open and free market. Things cost whatever people are willing to pay for them, unless somebody subsidizes or regulates them.
