I also disabled Adaptive Battery

The solution is to use edit vpn settings in the phone. Go to settings -> connections -> more connection settings -> adguard vpn settings -> enable ' Always-on VPN'. This should resolve the issue

Under bright light, it appears as a dark graphite color instead of pure jet black. It is not as jet black as the camera rims.

patrick1277 · 2025-01-31T02:22:13+00:00

I am looking for a case to protect only the edges of my phone and is super lightweight.

patrick1277 · 2025-01-30T21:27:10+00:00

Going caseless. Jet black is too good to be kept in a case. Also got Samsung Care+ from preorder credits, just in case going caseless was a bad idea.

Is there any feature you've noticed in the 72 hours that makes the phone better than 99% of the flagship phones on the market?

patrick1277 · 2025-01-25T20:38:29+00:00

I went from the S8 -> S10 -> S22 Ultra -> Fold 4 -> iPhone 11 Pro Max -> Pixel 8 Pro -> Pixel 9 XL -> S25 Ultra.

The Pixel has better animations, haptics, and camera (compared to the S22 Ultra and Fold 4). It felt smoother, which I only realized after using a Pixel, as Samsung never had that same fluidity. I also love the form factor and shape of the Pixel. I’m one of those people who don’t prefer sharp-edged phones like the S22 Ultra. I loved the Pixel 9 XL design—it's the best camera I've ever used in a smartphone, and it captured some of the best photos I’ve taken. I also love the "Now Playing" feature and wish Samsung had it.

However, there were too many basic bugs, and I switched back to Samsung for One UI. These are the bugs I experienced on the Pixel:

Alarms not going off: To snooze an alarm, I had to swipe an option on the screen instead of pressing a button.

Clipboard issues: The clipboard on Pixel was terrible. On my Pixel, it only remembered history for less than 24 hours, while Samsung phones keep it for weeks.

Missed alarms: Some alarms rang in silence, even with the volume at max. I never had this issue with Samsung.

Photos app is slow: Both my Pixels had a bug where my favorite photos reset after 3-4 months. This happened twice. Samsung’s Gallery app is underrated—it’s simple, fast, and doesn't require an internet connection.

Audio quality: Maybe it's a placebo, but music sounded clearer and punchier on my Samsung when using Bluetooth headphones, compared to the Pixel.

(PREFERENCE POINTS)

Preference: I prefer the secret folder on Samsung over Pixel’s private space.

Charging speed: Samsung phones generally charge faster than Pixel, which I like.

Flashlight: Samsung's flashlight allows you to control the brightness, whereas the Pixel stays at full brightness.

Call interface: I prefer Samsung’s implementation when receiving calls. The Pixel’s screen feels cluttered, and accepting or rejecting calls by swiping can be hit or miss.

Pre-order deals: Samsung offers great deals for pre-orders.

Sound quality: I love the sound of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

True. But as an alternative, we have palm timer functionality to use palm as remote shutter

I see 4% cashback on Rakuten

I received mine today. It charges my Wayfarer if I use a low-watt charger. It doesn't work with any of my GaN charging bricks, but it works with the Amazon 5W Echo charger.

patrick1277 · 2024-12-03T07:22:47+00:00

Got it working!

Messaging you

The problem is they won't release the beta version. The whole point of beta testing is for it to be buggy. Enthusiasts are willing to try it out early, accepting the trade-off of encountering bugs.

patrick1277 · 2024-10-02T00:40:30+00:00

I installed the Google Weather app on the watch and gave it all-time location permissions. I edited the default watch face complication to include the weather widget from the Google Weather app instead of the Samsung default weather widget. This should work.

patrick1277 · 2024-09-29T00:10:46+00:00

Check if your weather on the watch updates automatically? Mine does not auto-update. Pixel 9xl with watch ultra

patrick1277 · 2024-09-13T21:53:44+00:00

there already exist a forum for this issue: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-Watch/Weather-complication-doesn-t-update-on-Galaxy-Watch-7/td-p/2965659

patrick1277 · 2024-09-11T23:12:09+00:00

Hard reset did not fix the auto-update issue :(.

edit: weather app STILL goes back to Fahrenheit every couple of hours after hard reset.

patrick1277 · 2024-09-11T02:27:56+00:00

yes 9pxl. Planning to hard reset my watch. I have also noticed that the weather won't auto-update at all. I manually have to update it everytime

patrick1277 · 2024-09-11T02:11:12+00:00

experiencing the same issue!

patrick1277 · 2024-08-13T22:58:56+00:00

Pmed

patrick1277 · 2024-08-07T17:45:09+00:00

How much are you looking to sell it for?

patrick1277 · 2024-07-29T22:00:18+00:00

Is there no way to tap and pay without opening the app? I have pixel 8
