    I'll give this a bit of time to adjust, but the optimisation is no where near as good as the pixels so far. Roll on the Pixel 6 end of the year :pac:

    Google chrome is a bastard of an app for draining battery

    I still have a pixel 3a and its still a great phone , I think if I even mention another phone i'll be divorced so the pixel 6 is out (maybe) , the ultra did settle after a lot of tinkering , putting apps into deep sleep and if I need to I can get over 6 hours on screen time .

    I agree the battery will be much better on 60hz...but what is the point of having this phone if you do not use the premium features

    Because no one fancies charging a phone twice a day.

    I put mine up one Adverts, really not a fan of it.

    Going by the leaks the new 'Samsung/Google Watch'team up sounds great but not looking forward to seeing the price

    Need an update from my Watch Active and thankfully was persuaded by a user here to wait awhile and don't buy the Watch2

    Yep having Google pay on it is a big sell for me

    Samsung Pay in Ireland was never a thing really for some reason

    New series of Watches mid August release I imagine

    Hopefully it will be a similar price to the current version .

    I wonder would there be any trade ins available with their phones.Watch 3 is still perfect but I'm interested.

    Has anyone went from s20+ to s21 ultra?

    Was it worth it considering phone is only a year old ?

    Unless you were getting a great trade in, dont imagine it would be a huge improvement. Its more like a S20+ S edition...

    Cheers thanks. I was looking at maybe selling my s20 + and getting the s21 ultra the reviews are brilliant but I haven't seen anything stating what your gonna notice between both models and if its worth it.

    i have the s21 ultra, came from a note 9.

    I thought the battery would be better, and i think i miss how the note felt in my hand, and the internal spen.

    I'm happy with the s20+ I just tend to update phones after a year or two depending on what's on the market. I don't think the sd card thing is a big issue id be happy if the battery is better than what I have now and the screen, camera and general performance have improved.

    Any fix for this

    For some reason the mobile data digit stays up on the corner of my phone even when connected to WIFI. Anyone know if I hit something by mistake and I can switch it off ?

    Turning off mobile data makes it disappear but in the past the icon disappeared once i was connected to WIFI and i didn't need to manually turn off Mobile Data ? Its bugging me

    Looks like my Galaxy watch active has kicked the bucket

    Screen won't turn on at all, tried everything from holding the power key on and off charge, leaving the battery go dead and then try again. My phone picks up the watch and even displays a pairing code but nothing on the watch screen itself

    Might as well wait out and get one of the new Watch4 models

    Maybe wi-fi assist is turned on? I’m not sure if it’s still an option on the OS but it used to be anyway. Uses your mobile data to supplement the wi-fi connection if the latter is slow.

    Anyone watch the Samsung unpacked event?


    Anything worthwhile in it?

    Did they give a release date/price for the Watch 4.

    New phones look very impressive but the price will be through the roof.

    Anyone noticed that you cant get into recovery mode now after the last update even with a USB-C cable connected? WHen holding volume up and side key my s21 Ultra just reboots every time. I normally wipe the cache partition every few months but havent been able to for the last while.

    Update it seems the phone now has to be connected to a PC with the USB-c cable to work. (At least for me) very odd.

    Yep. Got it pretty much on release on my S21+.

    Not noticed any bugs yet and liking it so far. Permission manager and privacy notifications are nice. Interface is still pretty much the same (havent tried colour picker). Camera seems to be behaving better then it did on Android 11.

    Android 12 is a mess for me.



    Where the **** is the clipboard gone? There's just a paste button now. All of my saved clips are gone. Gmail crashes all the time too.
