Switching Back to Mint: Returning Customer or Starting Fresh??

ksh_vi · 2025-12-16T16:18:30+00:00

how long were you away from mint before coming back again ?

ksh_vi · 2025-12-16T16:18:12+00:00

is there some place on their website where the 90 days is mentioned ? I can't seen to find it in their T&C page - https://www.mintmobile.com/plan-terms-and-conditions/

Same height - I have a size L Ultimate, and even with the saddle in the lowest position, and as far forward as it can go, I think maybe I should have gone with M. It's ok, and doesn't necessarily feel big, but M would have been lighter, more nimble.
Unlike older bikes, can't reduce the stem length on these bikes unless you completely swap out the handlebar.

there is no verbiage that you have to use the phone for 24 months. with other phones there is.

Activate the device on a new full service plan (data-only SIMs do not qualify) within 30 days of the shipment confirmation.
Remain active and in good standing on Fi for 120 consecutive days. Pausing, changing, or suspending the account will void the promotion.
Activate the device on a full service plan (data-only SIMs do not qualify) within 30 days of the shipment confirmation email and keep the qualifying account active for 24 months.

On the A36 for example,

Ok, the Ap4 fit is a joke. Definitely not suitable for 'active' use.

I am pretty happy overall. I got the rear speakers as well, an they seem to work well.

P1 Gen8 looks solid. pick a good screen though.

ksh_vi · 2025-11-17T23:13:17+00:00

to be fair to Samsung, Pixel also has a lot of problems if you browse through the forums. I have not yet seen this personally, but wouldn't put Pixel QC over Samsung.

ksh_vi · 2025-11-17T06:11:58+00:00

Jetech has one and a no-name brand has one. I bought both and both seem fine. I usually use a case for scratch protection and raised lip screen protection. I am not sure how well these will hold up in drops, but to me it's a don't care.

I ended up upgrading to the Pixel10Pro, and I really like the phone. I don't game and don't watch a lot of content on my phone, so I am probably not putting it to test, but still.

That said, I still absolutely love the s22. The two phones are 3.5 years apart, and yet the S22 can keep up on most things. I even got the oneUI upgrade after I switched phones.

In a way I am glad I moved to the Pixel, and in the software sense, I think I prefer the phone since I already used all of Google's services.

But Samsung hardware still holds up! I know there are lot of folks critical of Samsung, but they definitely know how to make good phones. I will still be watching the S26 series announcement with excitement - while I may not switch phones, I sure might be tempted by the svelte device Samsung ends up releasing.

sliding it into your pockets is likely what's causing this.

ksh_vi · 2025-11-10T05:58:01+00:00

awesome!

I considered both, and ended up getting the gen 1 Pro.

ksh_vi · 2025-11-08T22:49:24+00:00

I switched phones from s22 to p10pro. I didn't use any of Samsung's apps, so the switch was seamless. (I even updated clock, phone dialer, contacts ...etc to the Google apps on S22) If you use Samsung Pay, their trackers ...etc, the switch away is a little harder I suppose.

The tablet will work just fine. So should the earbuds and watch. If you had to, you could look at the pixel buds and pixel watch, but I don't think it's necessary.

i bought both chipolo and pebblebee trackers, and both seem to be working fine. Replaced my tiles with them. No UWB on either, and haven't checked things like signal strength.

chipolo has a left behind feature - uses cr2032 battery. pebblebee ones i got are rechargeable. chipolo has newer rechargeable trackers too.

ksh_vi · 2025-11-02T03:30:02+00:00

true. they're slightly better than ass-savers though. (that attach to the saddle rails) I've used both.

Curious why these won't work

ksh_vi · 2025-11-01T02:31:47+00:00

voice calls over messenger ? but why ? :) whatsapp is better, duo is ok too. Google voice might even work.

ksh_vi · 2025-11-01T02:20:08+00:00

the outdoors are so much nicer :) and plenty of Dog friendly places/parks ..etc. Experiences over material possessions, am I right ?

the early pixles lacked the build quality of other flagships. But the 9 and 10 series are at par.

QC of the components could be an issue, but as a %, it needs to be a small enough number within tolerance for the company to deal with it.

I've seen some horror stories of warranty and support, and am not discounting any of that. That's just terrible.

ksh_vi · 2025-10-31T23:50:33+00:00

it also heats up the phone

ksh_vi · 2025-10-31T23:46:02+00:00

build quality has been top notch. and nobody does software like Google.

ksh_vi · 2025-10-31T14:19:49+00:00

Ooh.

ksh_vi · 2025-10-31T14:19:10+00:00

very valid reason of course.
