I got the update yesterday. No differences as far as I can tell. Since I have an "old" Samsung Smart TV from 2020, I unfortunately can't use the new Samsung Health integrations. Which is too bad since my treadmill is in the same room as my TV. On the bright side, I haven't had any issues with...

Sleep mode still exists, it's just under "Routines" now. You can easily add Routines to the dropdown menu. Sleep is one of the options. it's actually better than on the old Tizen watches in that it can sync to your phone, and will put both your phone and watch into sleep mode. You can even edit...

I'm curious as to good recommendations as well. I've tried two different one-click bands from Amazon. One is incredibly difficult to put on, and the other has the well-known problem of randomly falling off. I've purchased one-click bands from Samsung.com *twice* and had to return them both...

There are a few different apps with generative AI features. AFAIK the photo editing AI only works with the stock photo editor, the voice transcription AI feature only works with the Samsung voice recorder, etc. But you can use writing style and translation features on any app as long as you're...

Nice! I got the same offer. Decided to spend it on a Galaxy Watch6 band and extra charger.

I purchased directly from Samsung. I traded in my S23 Ultra the same day I received my S24 Ultra, so January 28 IIRC. I just got confirmation yesterday, February 4, that my trade in was accepted. So for me I guess it was a week from start to end.

I've got the Watch6 Classic and it's pretty great for exercising. Based on the problems you guys have posted about in here, I think you may want to try getting a warranty replacement. This sounds like a hardware defect. I've had such issues with previous smart watches and had to have them...

Not to dissuade you from SwiftKey (which is an excellent keyboard as well), but my predictions from the default Samsung keyboard ported over from my S23 to my S24.

So the argument for ultrasonic FPS is that it can create a 3D map of your finger and is thus more secure. Now, does it actually thwart the common means by which people spoof FPS's? I don't know (heck I don't even know how you'd spoof a fingerprint for an FPS). But, this is apparently why...

I've had zero problems with the fingerprint sensor. It's as good as the UV cured screen protectors I used with previous curved Samsung displays.

Yeah I have a 100 W Anker charger, which I use to charge both my S24 Ultra and my Galaxy Book2 Pro. However, I would go even further and suggest a fast wireless charger. Make sure you get one that supports Samsung's 15 W max on the S24 Ultra (not all wireless chargers that are rated for 15+ W...

My trade-in was due by February 8. Odd to see the variance in trade-in time given to people. For what it's worth, I was trading in my S23 Ultra 512 GB from last year. It didn't matter because I sent my S23 back the same day I received by S24 Ultra 512 GB.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice this. I'm not sure what the UI designers were thinking, but it seems utterly dysfunctional to have an entire bar dedicated to one button, which isn't even centered. When I first saw it I assumed I had triggered a bug of some kind.

I got the Spigen tempered glass protector for my S24 Ultra. Now that we have flat screens, these now longer need to be UV curing. The installation process was extremely simple and so far I'm quite happy with it.

Just got an origin scan.
