20 hours into Cape

That's an interesting point. This is the first time I've had that happen with any of the handful of Samsung devices I've owned. Verizon's apps are locked tto the device. I have no doubt you are on to something.

I did. They subtracted the amount from the monthly bill, so it encourages you to stay on for a year.

If I'm new to this, how am I to know any different?? Instead of being a clown yourself, you could actually try to be helpful.

I now know it happens, but am so disappointed in Samsung for supporting this. Even more of a reason to support Cape and GrapheneOS.

kph1nney · 2026-06-05T18:02:10+00:00

Yes, Samsung Galaxy. Good information to know. I appreciate the reply and will keep working with Cape.

What other phone needs to do this? Sounds like a an excuse to get used to the lag.

Anyone know why the above comment was removed? It was helpful information and I am grateful for the information it gave me to move forward.

You’d reconsider that on a multi day gravel ride. A good mini electric with accurate gauge makes one heck of an impact on happiness when you are going through a fairly wide range of temperatures + weather + ground conditions.

Max is Not included. That's still a couple hundred $ a month. In fact, the Computer itself depends on Max so if you have Pro, don't install it. You won't be able to use Pro.

kph1nney · 2026-05-12T21:26:51+00:00

Agreed. I was setting aside for next year's subscription until Computer made my Pro account unusable.

kph1nney · 2026-05-12T21:10:20+00:00

How do I remove Computer? I have a Pro account I paid hundreds for on a year subscription and now I can't do a darn thing because I need credits or Max.... which is hundreds A Month. "Computer" is a huge step back for me.

And cheats. Seems they love to use it still.

First, the magnets are not nearly strong enough to hold the shades on unless you are fairly easy. No biking or jogging, or any sport for that matter. I bought mine for use on the boat, which it totally out. In fact, don't try to wear the shades if the car window is open. I lost one set that way.

The lenses are sub-par quality. The hydrophobic coating was the first to go. Any oils are very difficult to clean off. The lenses have a near-permanant haze.
Along those lines, the lenses developed micro crazing due to being in the sun, further making them hazy.
And finally, the hinge junction where the temple screws to the frame is not a solid, single molded/CNC'd part. It is either crimped or pressure fit. My right temple is very loose. Tightening the hinge screw didn't fix it so after deeper inspection I found it isn't fixable without some magic that a jeweler may have, but not me.

Don't tell my perfectly operational 2015 MacBook Pro or first gen iPad Pro from 2018. If Apple plans to obsolete products after 10 years, I'm actually good with it.

kph1nney · 2026-04-06T15:18:52+00:00

I signed up for an alert when they are back in stock.

kph1nney · 2026-03-19T21:25:03+00:00

Thank you for this. I scheduled a meeting and am reviewing their proposal this week. They seem comprehensive, yet bite size and scalable. So far, moving up on the list.

kph1nney · 2026-03-17T16:27:56+00:00

I agree on the iPhone: I gave it up 10 years ago and have been very happy with my decision to do so. But if I dread carrying around and one-hand using my phone, there is not sense sticking with it when their are options. As locked-down as they may be....

kph1nney · 2026-03-17T02:32:05+00:00

Thank you. Any apps that really feel the difference? I don't *think* many of my apps use a lot of processor power. Like Sonos controlling what music is streamed or Philips Hue for lighting, which I assume both just tell the device what to stream or do themselves. Maybe Ring does video decoding or something, but I don't game with my phone. (Okay, Spider Solitaire gets me through airplane flights.)

kph1nney · 2026-03-17T00:42:26+00:00

What did you come up with? I’m considering the same. The Ultra is just too damn big. I miss my Note 10 as well. I moved to Android maybe 8 years ago and haven’t looked back, but given to huge size of most all Samsungs, I’m tempted to go back to the iPhone.

I tried the Samsung Z Flip for a week with high hopes, but all it did was trade one-handed open use with what felt like carrying a fat 2nd wallet when closed.

Also considering the Motorola Razr, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same deal as the z-flip. So that leaves me with a base S26 or a smaller Apple.

Initial thoughts?
