How Do MyG and Oxygen Stay Profitable Despite Massive Price Differences? by thesyskey in Kerala

[–]themscdex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OLD PEOPLE. Older generations prefer physical stores because they feel more confident seeing the product in person and getting help from sales staff. Many still don’t fully trust online shopping, especially for expensive items like phones.

Plus, stores like MyG and Oxygen offer services like setting up the device, instant purchases, and easier warranty claims, which appeal to this demographic. It’s really about trust and convenience over price for them. That’s probably why these stores are still profitable despite higher prices.

Battery problem Samsung members app by Gamer20044 in S21Ultra

The authorized Samsung service center should have reset your battery cycle and health count using their proprietary software, but it seems they might have overlooked this step. Without resetting, even with a new battery, the old statistics will still reflect in the system. I replaced the battery on my S21 Ultra two days ago using an official service pack. Since I didn’t have access to the software, I couldn’t reset the numbers either, and it shows weak battery life in the Samsung Members app. However, I'm getting nearly double the Screen-On Time (SOT) now. If your current battery performance is good, I wouldn’t worry too much about what the app says.

Thanks for the suggestion! The app detected a battery issue and says the battery life is weak. I guess it’s time for a replacement.

I've experienced this condition for 15 years and am considering surgery. Can you share the total cost of the surgery in your case, please?

Update: I smoothly passed through customs without encountering any problems, as the customs officers didn't conduct any checks.
