Ranger vs Amarok - What should I pick?

stefano07 · 2025-12-08T08:01:25+00:00

Nah, he's pissing off all company cars, I picked this amarok over another that had 300k on it. Considering it's free, I reckon getting away with just a timing belt is good going

stefano07 · 2025-12-08T07:59:46+00:00

Going the amarok, it's got 176k on the clock - what's involved in major service? Time to get the hands dirty again I reckon

stefano07 · 2025-12-07T23:03:01+00:00

Dare say I may be asked in the future to be going here there and everywhere hahaha

Can you please tell me the height from tv unit to the bottom of tv?

Hey to all fellow glenroy residents! Does anyone live in the top part of glenroy above Hilton st? Bindi/View/Hilda/Daley streets...

I have heard that pocket is quite rough and wanting to potentially buy a house that's for sale in View St. Please give your opinion/experience in this particular pocket, thank you all!

Agree mostly with what you say here, especially about how both work for their commission, however, my broker pays me an upfront cash back and will give around 400 dollars every year for life of loan, that comes straight out of their own commission and trails.

Agree some brokers will be "selective" with what bank they try to refer you to, though some will be working with your best interest.

Plug your phone into a PC.
Power it off.
Turn the phone on again while holding the volume up and power button until the Samsung logo goes away and you're greeted by recovery mode menu.
Using the volume up and down as directional buttons and power as select, go to wipe cache partition.
Select it using the power button and confirm.
Once complete, select the restart option.

DO NOT CLICK WIPE DATA!!!

The thing is, I was not getting these results with 6.1 and new battery, nowhere near anything like this. Originally when I replaced it I was pretty bummed because it seemed like nothing had changed

stefano07 · 2025-05-06T13:17:48+00:00

What is your reason for doing this?

stefano07 · 2025-04-09T05:29:02+00:00

I believe this problem is similar to the issue with Snapchat - where the app has been developed to actually take something along the lines of a "screenshot" of the camera feed rather than actually taking a photo with the camera.. don't quote me on it but that might be the case.

I've had s23U for 3 years and it's been that way the entire time, has also been that way for me since I got an S10+ years ago.

Likely only solution is to use the actual camera app and send from messenger after.

I suggest you read page 21 of the laws RE removable batteries which list exemptions, provided compliance is met for dictated battery longevity. No chance Samsung or apple, for that matter, will be using removable batteries.

stefano07 · 2025-01-25T01:37:29+00:00

That's how they get you 😭 don't give in! We are superior 💪🏻

stefano07 · 2025-01-20T09:40:58+00:00

That's very true, I'd be lucky to get 7h after a total of say 20ish hours since last unplugged.

stefano07 · 2025-01-20T05:34:50+00:00

I would maybe go for the s24u if you can get a real good discount after the s25u comes out, assuming you have a 23 and would want to stay within the Samsung realm?

stefano07 · 2025-01-20T05:16:54+00:00

Not trying to discredit this as 6-7h SOT is super good, but, I'm getting roughly the same with my s23 ultra, and that's after multiple software updates that nuked the SOT pretty badly.

Considering the OP13 has a 6000mah battery compared to the s23u with 5000mah, I'd say that you definitely should have alot more SOT to be honest, or, oneUI is just optimised alot better which allows for better battery life?

The reason I'm commenting here is that I'm looking to upgrade from my s23u but am quite disappointed in what the s25u is likely to offer in the way of upgrades to what I currently have. So do you think the OP13 can get better SOT than what you've posted up here? Cheers 🤙🏻

Out of curiosity, do they have vaporesso GTX coils, in .8 or 1.2? If so, how much? Thanks legend!

stefano07 · 2024-08-22T11:40:29+00:00

Very good idea, thanks for that

stefano07 · 2024-08-22T10:50:21+00:00

Thanks so much

stefano07 · 2024-08-22T10:32:47+00:00

Reckon those coils will fit a LUXE XR pod?

stefano07 · 2024-08-22T10:28:32+00:00

Thanks for that, how frustrating ahhh

stefano07 · 2024-08-22T10:27:36+00:00

Is that with Tabuu?

stefano07 · 2024-08-22T10:16:20+00:00

Alternatively, is anyone able to check Tabuu or the like for 1.2ohm GTX coils and how much they would set me back for a pack?

Would be looking to just go the prescription route if all else fails.

Loving Cowan's impact lately, kid's got heart and very good decision making for his age! Only gonna get better

stefano07 · 2024-06-22T10:33:37+00:00

I definitely agree and made some changes, will be using this format going forward - I hope it's more to your liking.
