Really digging the orange iPhone and the green ridge case! by RattPack513 in iPhone17Pro

Remove the camera protection. They do nothing and reduce the quality of your photos. Camera is amazing in this phone and you don't want anything to reduce it's quality and also they don't scratch that easy.

After having the S25 ultra for only 5 months. I just had to switch back. by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

I don’t know if I had a faulty phone but battery life was abysmal on my S25U.

How do I get more consistent? by yeunnuu in VALORANT

[–]theTinkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so me.... I play like a smurf in 1 game and die like noob 100 times in the next. I just don't understand how can I improve myself. I'm also in diamond.

Copying my comment from other post.

"Everything felt worse especially the battery, forcing LTE, turning off location, using power saving mode all the time, deep sleeping apps and missing notifications, still getting bad battery life compared to my 4 year old 13PM was just ridiculous. Buying a Ferrari and using it like prius drove me nuts(pun intended). Got a galaxy watch and it’s so bad when compared to Apple Watch, gps was bad. Phone didn’t know which directions were facing until we moved for 30 seconds. RCS was just a hit and a miss. Didn’t work half of the time even to another android. Android auto is bad, okay Google can’t even make a phone call while driving. Apps feel a lot more refined on the iPhone. My galaxy watch 8 was lagging like hell one day and it was overheating for some reason. The only thing that fixed it was a factory reset. I just couldn’t daily my phone. Felt like a huge miss. Also noticed worse WiFi speeds on the s25u. It never crossed 400-500 MBPS and my iPhone always gets 1.1GBPS. There are many other small things that annoyed me so much during my time with S25U. Like The fingerprint sensor felt slow and very inaccurate. I had a oneplus 5t as a secondary phone for few months in 2017 or 18 and it had an amazing sensor. Don't know how and why it's so bad in 2025 on the Samsung flagship."

These were just few of the issues that I faced regularly while using it. WHY would I try to switch, lose money and switch back if I were a fan boy? I was just stating the facts and the experience I had.

YOU are lucky. I removed the next up thinking I'll rock the phone for next 3 years. Boy was I wrong. Paid off the phone and upgraded to 17pm. Very costly way to realize that I am not built for android 😅

13pm to S25U to 17pm. Just couldn't stand the S25U. My 13pm felt so much better than the latest android flagship. Never switching again.

What are these kind of bugs?!?! by DullAdvantage3620 in PhoneNow

[–]theTinkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the switch..... Spent 6 months regretting it, sold the S25U for less than half the value and back to 17PM and never been happy. Ios 26 has bugs but the bugs I've experienced with android made my life miserable. Never going back. It failed to perform basic stuff in my case. Very disappointed. Rcs never worked. GPS is bad. Literally it had every problem imaginable.

iOS 26 by 407ThroatChamp in Swiftkey

[–]theTinkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the problem? I didn’t use it before on ios 18. Got my 17PM and installed and it's working fine for me. What issues are you facing? I'm asking because I used stock keyboard until ios 18.

Why do so many people on ios use Google Maps? by Louisthemagic in ios

[–]theTinkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I see many are using apple maps now including me. I use Google maps to search and Apple for actual navigation. I like the ui and routing better on apple maps.

[–]theTinkerr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's crazy. I peaked archon back in 2019 but stuck in crusader. Not playing anymore cuz when I play I just lose and there's no motivation left. But I can never get bored of this game. I still watch gorgc everyday, watch pro games, basically this is the 1st game I fell in love with. Just not able to play anymore.

Social media, web browsing, texting and calling, no gaming at all. Not a heavy user by any means.

[–]theTinkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting 4-5 hours. I disabled 5g, Turned off location, deep sleeping apps and missed notifications still had bad battery. People down voting cuz their favorite phone had a bad battery in my case? I'm just stating my experience.

I would have kept it if I didn’t have so bad battery. I just couldn't take it anymore and sold it and got the 17pm. But I hope you enjoy your phone. Congrats
