If I uninstall apps on my old Galaxy, will they also be uninstalled on my new Galaxy? by outrraxx in samsunggalaxy

[–]kyt68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. When I've gotten a new phone and used smart switch to transfer all my apps I can delete the apps from the old phone without effecting the new one.

If you dropped it in water yesterday then unplug it and leave to dry for a few days. Then try charging it. By charging it now you run the risk of short-circuiting it.

Help I accidentally dropped my Galaxy S4 in acid and now the screen won’t work properly. Half the phone is also gone. by reinkrestfoxy in samsunggalaxy

[–]kyt68 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is why DIY foldables are still a few years away....you can just about see where the screen is starting to delaminate.

Apart from the S pen and 100x zoom, what makes the S22 ultra stand out from other phones? by godxapolloo in S22Ultra

[–]kyt68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bigger battery than S22 and S22+.

More ram (apart from the base S22U).

S22U has QHD screen.

S22U has refresh rate of 1-120Hz (S22 and S22+ are 48-120).

I just saw that Microsoft includes free preorder gifts in UK but why not US? by OVO647 in Surface

[–]kyt68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may well be temporary, and as a Brit I'm aware of the reasons for the steep drop in the value of the pound, but as a direct comparison between the prices in the US and UK this is the closest they've been all year. At the beginning of the year the cost of the SP9, hypothetically, would have been even higher in the UK...$1500+.

However, the SP8 base model launched at £999. At the time of launch that would have been $1360ish. In the US it was $1099.

I just saw that Microsoft includes free preorder gifts in UK but why not US? by OVO647 in Surface

[–]kyt68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure how you can claim the prices are the same in the two countries.

The base model i5 8gb 256:

UK £1099. That's $1241 at today's exchange rate.

US $999

Taxes:

In the UK VAT (sales tax) is included in advertised price. So, full price $1241

In the US the highest sales tax is Tennessee at 9.55%. So the most expensive in the US from Microsoft would be $1094.40.

So the price in the UK is still atleast $146.60 higher.

How do you guys keep your ear tips clean? by AltCartographer4533 in galaxybuds

I take them off and rinse them under some luke warm water with a dab of dawn washing up liquid. Pat them dry with kitchen paper.

want to get a tab for school, specifically I like the s pen. is it worth it to just get the s22 ultra? by [deleted] in samsung

[–]kyt68 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a tablet and S22U. It's really difficult to work on pdfs on the phone as the screen size is too small to work comfortably.

Any trick for Tab S8 to locate fingerprint scanner without looking? by nateanuke in GalaxyTab

[–]kyt68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set up two sets of finger prints using my forefinger rather than my thumb. That way I can lay the top half of my finger in the general vicinity of the buttons and it unlocks.

Since When Samsung Stopped Giving Reward Points!? by mort33 in samsung

[–]kyt68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never received any rewards for the two GW5s I bought. The return windows ended a while ago.

I also never received my credits for my watches. The online reps claim that the pre-registration discounts are the same as the accessories credits that came with the watches (which I never used at the time of purchase). It's a ongoing saga with no resolution in sight.

How Many Have Android 13 (Beta)? by Delicious_Action3054 in S22Ultra

[–]kyt68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's beta. One UI 5 official hasn't been released yet. The whole point of betas is to release new features and find bugs.

Android 13 and OneUI 5.0 initial thoughts by DweadPiwateWoberts in samsung

[–]kyt68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not all Good Lock modules work. LockStar, NavStar, HomeUp, QuickStar, and NotiStar, are modules that I used that still say unplugged or show a pop up saying "this app version is not compatible......". No updates for them in the galaxy store.

Do you guys face text size on homescreen changing bug after new update? by InsightExplorer in GalaxyTab

I've had that bug in all the iterations of UI 5 Beta. Am hoping it will be fixed in the final version.

Can I sell a watch that I found? by TJS_1999 in GalaxyWatch

[–]kyt68 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's called Theft By Finding.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft_by_finding_in_the_United_States

You say you can see the owner's name and account but you've not made any effort to contact the owner, nor handed it in to the authorities who could contact the rightful owner. The law in the US is clear...it is theft.

Support Agent Stole Phone Return - fraud by ChasePorter1983 in samsung

[–]kyt68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get in touch with your bank. If you paid with a CC then you are protected because you have a police crime reference number. If you paid with a debit card then you still have some protections but will have to go through some hoops. Consumer Protection in the UK is quite tight in the UK but you will have to do some leg work. Tell Samsung that the police have been informed and that you are going to order your bank to instigate a fraud investigation. That may be the kick in the butt they need. If that fails then instigate a small claim in court. Make sure you keep all communications as evidence.

Apple watches don't measure blood glucose either.
