I just switched from dumbphone to my first smartphone (Nothing 4a). Android. This is probably a dumb question but: Is there a way to make the phone give a warning sound when it switches from wifi to data? I have unlimited Wifi, but pretty limited data, and I would hate to lose a month of data to something dumb like losing wifi or not re-connecting properly when coming home.

Chink software is hit or miss so some Si/C phones will barely outpace Galaxy Ultra/iPhone battery life despite having at least a 20% larger battery, then some will outpace Galaxy Ultra/iPhone battery life enough for it to be a noticeable improvement but it takes a 40%-50% larger battery to do it.

As an avid moto supporter, I can assure you, you won't be happy with any razor phone. Folding is a gimmick, but clam folds are just shit.

Any thoughts about Samsung flagships? I've had an s22 ultra for a few years. Recently, it's decided to start dropping cell service randomly. It appears to be a known issue with this model and related to hardware. Annoying, but what can you do. I've had a stylus phone for like 15 years now and don't want to give it up. As such, I was looking at new galaxy s ultra phones. The loss of Bluetooth in the stylus in the s26 bothers me, as does all the ai bullshit. Considering an s24 ultra. Any thoughts?

Good choice. I've had mine for about 4 months. It's not a perfect phone but it's good enough when compared to the alternatives. It still feels like phones are only made to spy on you 24/7. Every feature that could give you some privacy or autonomy has been cast aside.

My only beef with the 9a is that is has no zoom lens which I regularly use. but the 9a in a NIB is nearly 30% cheaper than an 8pro in "excellent condition" on ebay

whats better? pay $280 for 9a or $400 for 8pro?
yes there are cheaper 8pro but I dont trust the generic descriptions of "items shows moderate wear" aka it has a bunch of scratches on the screen.

dude that phone is like a year and a half old. If you want to make fun of someone say something like "you've got a shitty XR"

I don't have an iPhone, although I have had several in the past (6, X, SE 2020, 13 Mini, 16 Pro) because I'm not a fanboy. I know what "Ceramic Shield" (that's how you spell shield in English, saar) is, it's basically just rebranded Gorilla Glass with similar feel and properties.

I honestly don't care, post about how you love iPhones all you want, how the walled garden makes you feel comfortable, how the A19 Pro helped you export a 4K video in record time. This isn't a Brand X vs Brand Y thing. However, this spam of posting the SAME EXACT TEXT with the SAME YOUTUBE LINK with the SAME EXACT IMAGE/VIDEO attached every single thread contributes nothing.

That's the puzzling part. It's obviously degrading in terms of SOT from when I first got it, but battery health seems perfectly fine. Then again that number might just be a total lie and it could be lower than it actually is.
>>
>>108628442
My first Samsung flagship was an S23U and it was alright but I ultimately switched to something else. I personally never gave half a shit about the stylus but S24U is your best bet if you don't want the newer, gimped stylus. I wouldn't worry about the lack of Si/C either, it's not all it's cracked up to be. Chink phones need 7000mAh+ batteries to outpace Galaxy Ultra battery life because their software is always doing way more shit in the background. SOT on my OnePlus 13 is more or less in line with what I was getting on my S23U despite having a 20% larger battery.

My S24 Ultra is sperging out because I changed the CSC from ATT to XAA to get on the unlocked update cycle (AT&T held up the OneUI 7 update for almost a month). I think AT&T is forcibly dropping me from connecting to 5G because it 'thinks' my phone doesn't support their bands despite me buying it from them. I'm considering taking this as an excuse to upgrade my phone rather than mess around with sketchy HOME_CSC flashes again.

Of the flagships that are on the market right now, what seems to be the go-to that will work on US carriers? It sounds like the S26 Ultra is bad and the Pixel 10 lineup still has Pixel problems, so what are people actually using?
