How is it not working? I'm using Nova, and the recent button is working the way I expect it to.

I think the thought process is, if your normal day doesn't use much battery, you arent really losing out on anything. But if you have a day where you know you will need more capacity, you have the option to fully charge it. And a lot of phones become "hand-me-downs" after their first life is...

Use a file manager (I prefer Solid Explorer) and plus a USB C drive into the phone. Then transfer them over manually to the drive.

Got my S23 on prerelease day. Within half hour of receiving it I had an Amfilm screen installed, based on suggestions from this forum. After a day or two the adhesive around the edges started looking ratty (like it was releasing around the edges.) After a week or so it lifted in a corner so I...

This. The gray one looked a little tempting, but just the thought of the gray one possibly taking longer to be delivered was enough to make me choose the black. Because I don't really care what color it is under the case.

The glass ones with liquid adhesive (Amfilm and Whitestone Dome) do for sure. Amfilm worked acceptably, but so far the WSD has been working better, as good as bare screen to my fingers.

I don't use the s pen very often, but it is really useful in the limited instances I do use it. 1 - Highlighting text in images to copy. 2 - Precision touches needed, which is mainly editing video in Lumafusion

I prefer to pick my own frame rates.

Not that I'm aware of. Would be nice though.

I think I use the one on the right. What are the tangible differences between them?

I prefer to self host (big believer in the phrase, "The cloud is just some else’s hard drive.") I use syncthing to transfer photos and videos to my home server. And then delete them off my local phone storage. For playback/access I view them off my Plex server through the Plex app.

Great question. Other than maybe having a 4 year old phone in the drawer as a safety backup. I don't see the desire.

[Puts on Dad Hat]... ...Why are you wasting so much money financing such an expensive consumer electronics device that you won't even use that frequently, or keep that long? I genuinely encourage you to think about curbing your impulses and directing more towards your future. [removed link]

Thats not how manufacturing works. There are tolerances to every process. At the end of the day, Samsung says it is within spec. If that's not good enough for a guy, the option is to return it. Not saying that's good or bad, just pointing out reality.

I grabbed a pair of those when they were $15 on black Friday and gave them out as prizes at my son's boy scout electronics campout. They were big hits. They also have slightly larger versions that also have thumbsticks, which I would like to try out, but I don't need.
