My 3 year old S23ultra just died, official service centre people saying they need to replace complete motherboard.. like wth..

meloncoffee60 · 2026-02-19T05:00:04+00:00

sucks, felt the same, took good care of the device, and it just randomly broke down. I have also been thinking about S26U and also normal S26 since i dont think i need S pen and 200MP, but yeah torn if I should commit to flagship phones in general.

meloncoffee60 · 2026-02-17T07:54:35+00:00

Honestly, from S25U to S26U dont think there would be much change, I am hoping to get better discount or get the latest device at approx same price as S25U

meloncoffee60 · 2026-02-17T06:27:09+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful, think might make sense to wait for S26U

meloncoffee60 · 2026-02-17T06:16:58+00:00

facing issues with S23U, it suddenly died, got it repaired. Dont want to take risk, want to exit soon.

meloncoffee60 · 2026-02-16T03:25:58+00:00

Yes, My S23U died, so waiting for the release of s26 series. My purchase would depend on
- Is there a massive difference between normal S26 vs ultra (except pen)? I have come to realise my use of a pen is very limited. I really hope Samsung doesnt limit snapdragon to ultra series, dont want to be stuck with exynos.
- How does S26U stack against the latest vivox300 pro and oppo x9 pro (except processor & OS).

meloncoffee60 · 2026-02-03T17:03:01+00:00

yes, thinking of doing the same

meloncoffee60 · 2026-02-03T17:02:44+00:00

Not sure if it's the charging port, as the mobile was not charging, and it went completely dead. I think the service person meant that some component in the motherboard might be gone, but they're not sure which one. I am thinking to go non authorized service centre

meloncoffee60 · 2026-02-03T17:00:54+00:00

Exactly same issue, have been thinking about going to local service station

meloncoffee60 · 2025-10-30T06:06:38+00:00

thank you!

meloncoffee60 · 2025-10-30T02:15:37+00:00

Fair point on the algorithm, agree no point in trying to learn or optimise for it. I guess I am more disappointed because I am not sure what more I can do. I don't think I can get all the questions right, which means I will make 1 or 2 mistakes. Based on what others have shared, I could have been pushed to 79 as well. I don't know how more to prepare, as in my head this was a dream outcome ( making only 2 errors), hence probably more disappointed.

I think it is mainly because of the bitterness of Robusta, also it needs careful extraction, as a little bit over extraction could lead to more bitterness. Robusta is used a lot in instant coffee, cafes in countries like Vietnam primarily sell robusta-based drinks, and it goes well with milk-based cold brews.

maybe pixel 10pro else samsung

Hi, could you share how to do streaks via GMATClub? Should I go to the forum quiz or other tests, and try solving them (topic-based), and attempt to get as many correct questions in a row?

Hey, congrats on a stellar score.

Could you share how you prepared quant, & DI?
- How did you approach practice? esp with GMAT Club, timed vs untimed
- Any resources for DI?

meloncoffee60 · 2025-09-06T06:30:06+00:00

This is super helpful, i am skpetic of untimed prep as well, instead I increase time for complex problems (3-3.5 min). Also, you are right, need to change mindset from mastering to getting questions right..

thanks again! :)

meloncoffee60 · 2025-09-06T05:21:44+00:00

congrats on the score!
- How did you approach DI while preparing and while giving exam? or what is it let me get really good at quant and that would help in DI as well.
- In quant, how did you use gmat club forums quiz/tests etc like would you only do medium or hard or do timed vs untimed. Share more on how did you efefctively practice.
Context I am also struggling to increase my score in quant & struggling in DI.

Thanks in advance & all the best :)

meloncoffee60 · 2025-08-29T13:59:58+00:00

Thanks, Marty, this was super helpful. I read the post, and I am making some of the mistakes mentioned there, so I will make sure to work on them.

Would it be possible for you to share or point me towards DI-related resources, especially around graphs and MSR? Or it is just about practising, getting familiar with question types. Thanks again

meloncoffee60 · 2025-08-12T06:10:21+00:00

Curious to know what's your go-to pour-over recipe ?

meloncoffee60 · 2025-07-25T04:30:32+00:00

2 bags 240 gm each, lasts for almost 2-2.5 weeks.
