    Trade Ins

    You mean 1.000, don't you? Batting .1000 would be only ten percent success.

    I'd guess that the difference in processing time is a function of what device is being traded in. But hardly any of these posts mention what the device is, so it's hard to tell.

    S25 A Downgrade, Not an Upgrade

    Well, the "flagship" would be the S25 Ultra, not the plain S25. I'm very happy with my upgrade from an S24 Ultra to an S25 Ultra. Sorry if your experience is different. But that's why you get 2 weeks to try the phone and return it for a refund if you don't like it. That's the only effective way...

    Odin/Seamless Updates

    XDA has instructions for flashing the S25 series with HOME_CSC to keep user data (but I haven't tried it myself): https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-dirty-clean-update-stock-firmware.4717142/

    S25U VERY unergonomic vs s24U. UNCOMFORTABLE!! Considering returning

    Sorry you find it uncomfortable. Unfortunately, ergonomic design can only optimize comfort for typical users, and there will always be some who react differently. I find the S25U much easier to grip securely than the S24U, and just as comfortable. It sounds like you don't use a case (I don't...

    Odin/Seamless Updates

    There are reports that Odin only works if you use the CSC file (which wipes user data). If you try to use HOME_CSC instead, the flash reportedly fails and the phone reportedly soft-bricks until you do it again using the CSC file. For people here who've reported successfully flashing, did you...

    They can't and won't cancel your trade-in. If you shipped your old phone by the deadline, using the supplied shipping label, then you've met your responsibility. It doesn't matter when (or even if) it gets delivered.

    Defective screen

    Yes, that looks more like a screen-protector artifact than a screen defect.

    Can anyone help clarify reported dimensions

    It's a trivial calculation, though.. With a diagonal of 175.26mm and an aspect ration of 19.5:9, the height is 159.13mm and the width is 73.44mm.

    Can anyone help clarify reported dimensions

    if the display rectangle's diagonal is greater (which it is), then the height or width must be greater. If the diagonal is greater and the aspect ratio is the same (which it is), then both the height and width must be greater.

    S25 Ultra might lose bluetooth connectivity on the S Pen.

    I was fond of the S-Pen as a shutter button ever since that feature was introduced. But it doesn't bother me to lose that capability now that I can use my watch instead, as well as voice control (and palm gesture for selfies).

    Who's Getting The Watch 6?

    For me it was $178 (plus tax) for the GW6 44mm with extra band & 10000mAh battery pack, trading in a GW4. I may see whether I can cancel the battery pack & get a $25 refund on that.

    Low quality streaming

    Some carriers detect video streaming and throttle your internet speed. The streaming service detects the low-speed connection and reduces the resolution to match. If that's what's happening, you can either use WiFi instead of mobile data, or else try to bypass the carrier throttling by using a...

    May security update is out.

    Go to their website and look at the support page for your product. Or google "AT&T latest update [phone model]". Or ask their tech support.

    May security update is out.

    Depends. What is AT&T's latest released update for your phone model? If it's the one you've got, there's nothing to do but wait. If it isn't, you can try asking AT&T tech support about it.
