This is crazy. It was 17% when it said to have 3.5 hours of battery life left. Now it's 2.5 hours passed; it's 8% with 1.5 hours left.

While actively using it. Yet, still using it, posting this.

#Samsung #Galaxy #S24Ultra

Kennt zufällig jemand einen Andreas, der ein S24 Ultra hat und sich
heute in Bremerhaven oder Umgebung in eine FritzBox eingeloggt hat?
Entweder gehört diese ihm oder er war heute vielleicht dort zu Besuch.

Ist eine gebraucht verkaufte Fritzbox (hatte meinem Vater gehört), und es wurde vergessen, die Mailadresse bzgl Statusmeldungen rauszunehmen.
Der neue Besitzer ist leider auch nicht auf die Idee gekommen, sich erstmal die vorhandenen Einträge anzusehen oder das Gerät zurückzusetzen.

Jetzt kommen immer wieder Mails, die ich nicht abstellen kann, da ich das Konto noch weiterlaufen lassen muss.

Gerne teilen, vielleicht findet derjenige sich ja.
Danke 😀

Ofertas 5.5 Amazon: descontos de até 51% no Galaxy S24 Ultra da Samsung

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://rollingstone.com.br/ofertas/ofertas-5-5-amazon-descontos-de-ate-51-no-galaxy-s24-ultra-da-samsung/

I tried Android phones for more than a year, now I’m moving back to iOS!

Background

Last year I decided to move to Android side for various purposes, to experience how Android side of things have developed while I was on the Apple ecosystem for more than 5 years. Initially I went with One Plus 13 and used it for about 9 months. Then I exchanged it for Samsung S24 Ultra and used it for around 6 months more before I finally decided to settle back to iOS.

The Android experience

What I Liked

• Hardware
  • Both OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra had excellent hardware.
  • OnePlus felt lighter and more comfortable with the leather back and curves.
  • Samsung’s flat, squared display just looked and felt premium.
• Performance
  • Absolute performance beasts.
  • Multitasking, split-screen, PiP all worked flawlessly without hiccups.
• Charging & Battery
  • Charging speeds are great on both.
  • OnePlus SuperVOOC was insanely fast and actually useful in daily life.
• Useful Extras
  • IR blaster on OnePlus was surprisingly handy for controlling TVs and ACs.
  • S-Pen on S24 Ultra was genuinely useful for quick notes, calculations, and even as a camera shutter.
• Launcher Flexibility
  • Niagara Launcher felt weird on OnePlus but worked really well on Samsung.

What Didn’t Work for Me

• Accessories Ecosystem
  • OnePlus had poor third-party accessory(cases and screenguards) support.
  • Samsung was better, but still not great in terms of quality and consistency.
  • No native Magsafe! S-pen won’t work with magsafe if you got the case for it.
• Fingerprint Scanner + Screen Guards
  • This was honestly a mess.
  • Many screen guards don’t work properly with the in-display fingerprint scanner.
  • You end up doing hacks like registering the same finger multiple times.
  • Even then, reliability is hit or miss.
  • Face unlock sometimes interferes when you are scanning your finger and it leads you to lockscreen edit screen instead of going to the Homescreen.
  • Older rear fingerprint scanners were simply more reliable, like from the early Pixel phones.
• Software Updates
  • Samsung promises long-term support, but updates often felt delayed.
  • OneUI 8.5 is still in beta since maybe forever. And will be available to the latest gen flagship first, then you have to wait for the older flagships to get it.
  • Even monthly security patches were often a month late.
  • No excitement around updates compared to iOS.
• App Experience
  • iOS still gets better treatment from developers.
  • Apps arrive earlier and feel more polished.
• Automation & Customization
  • iOS Shortcuts is still miles ahead.
  • Samsung Routines is decent, but not at that level.
  • OnePlus doesn’t offer much here.
  • Android customization relies heavily on third-party tools, which I personally don’t enjoy using.
• Lockscreen Experience
  • iOS offers cleaner, more useful lockscreen customization out of the box.
  • Android needs effort (or third-party apps) to get close.
• Camera Gimmicks
  • The 100x zoom sounds cool but is mostly useless.
  • I never really used those shots for anything meaningful.

How did my week with iOS go?

I went with the popular iPhone 17. It finally has the 120Hz refresh rate screen with AOD, most of the ‘pro’ features. I think the LiDAR, ProRAW and extra zoom are the only thing that I feel could be useful to me going forward, but I’m sure I won’t mind missing those. The standard phone actually feels complete now. 

• I am loving the magsafe wallet and stand.
• Camera apps, native and 3rd party, capture amazing photos.
• The Shortcuts app! How I use my shortcuts and automations deserves another post. But I love exploring these.
• I have customised the control center as per my preference.
• I haven’t finalised my homescreen setup yet as I am not sure what I should put there. Everything is just a quick search away(the way I like).
• I love the built-in background noises feature. No need of additional app.
• The cases and screenguard – I don’t even have to overthink about this anymore. FaceID works flawlessly most of the time.
• I don’t mind the Liquid Glass much. Still getting used to the new phone app. 
• What I don’t like is that if I tap on an item from a list, there’s a halo-ish effect? instead of showing I selected a row. I don’t know if I tapped the correct row item.

What I miss coming from Andriod?

3 things – 

• Split screen or PiP mode for better multitasking. Useful in calculations etc.
• App cloning. Using same app with different accounts.
• Secure folder is actually secure. It is hidden quite well, both in OxygenOS and OneUI, locked with a different password than your phone’s passcode. On iOS, that’s not the case. Hidden folder is well visible to everyone with your phone’s password and that doesn’t inspire much confidence.

Going forward

While it felt like an adventure giving Android phones a go, I think I’ll stick with iOS as wife also has one, a few of my close friends have it as well and I like the excitement of getting the software update when everyone gets it, and that it has a much wider accessory support. This post is not about Android vs iOS or which one is objectively better. We are way past that debate. Both are amazing. It’s up to the individual which OS fulfils their purpose. Which one are you sticking with? And are you planning to switch anytime soon?

  • Even then, reliability is hit or miss.
  • Face unlock sometimes interferes when you are scanning your finger and it leads you to lockscreen edit screen instead of going to the Homescreen.
  • Older rear fingerprint scanners were simply more reliable, like from the early Pixel phones.
• Software Updates
  • Samsung promises long-term support, but updates often felt delayed.
  • OneUI 8.5 is still in beta since maybe forever. And will be available to the latest gen flagship first, then you have to wait for the older flagships to get it.
  • Even monthly security patches were often a month late.
  • No excitement around updates compared to iOS.
• App Experience
  • iOS still gets better treatment from developers.
  • Apps arrive earlier and feel more polished.
• Automation & Customization
  • iOS Shortcuts is still miles ahead.
  • Samsung Routines is decent, but not at that level.
  • OnePlus doesn’t offer much here.
  • Android customization relies heavily on third-party tools, which I personally don’t enjoy using.
• Lockscreen Experience
  • iOS offers cleaner, more useful lockscreen customization out of the box.
  • Android needs effort (or third-party apps) to get close.
• Camera Gimmicks
  • The 100x zoom sounds cool but is mostly useless.
  • I never really used those shots for anything meaningful.

How did my week with iOS go?

I went with the popular iPhone 17. It finally has the 120Hz refresh rate screen with AOD, most of the ‘pro’ features. I think the LiDAR, ProRAW and extra zoom are the only thing that I feel could be useful to me going forward, but I’m sure I won’t mind missing those. The standard phone actually feels complete now. 

• I am loving the magsafe wallet and stand.
• Camera apps, native and 3rd party, capture amazing photos.
• The Shortcuts app! How I use my shortcuts and automations deserves another post. But I love exploring these.
• I have customised the control center as per my preference.
• I haven’t finalised my homescreen setup yet as I am not sure what I should put there. Everything is just a quick search away(the way I like).
• I love the built-in background noises feature. No need of additional app.
• The cases and screenguard – I don’t even have to overthink about this anymore. FaceID works flawlessly most of the time.
• I don’t mind the Liquid Glass much. Still getting used to the new phone app. 
• What I don’t like is that if I tap on an item from a list, there’s a halo-ish effect? instead of showing I selected a row. I don’t know if I tapped the correct row item.

What I miss coming from Andriod?

3 things – 

• Split screen or PiP mode for better multitasking. Useful in calculations etc.
• App cloning. Using same app with different accounts.
• Secure folder is actually secure. It is hidden quite well, both in OxygenOS and OneUI, locked with a different password than your phone’s passcode. On iOS, that’s not the case. Hidden folder is well visible to everyone with your phone’s password and that doesn’t inspire much confidence.

Going forward

While it felt like an adventure giving Android phones a go, I think I’ll stick with iOS as wife also has one, a few of my close friends have it as well and I like the excitement of getting the software update when everyone gets it, and that it has a much wider accessory support. This post is not about Android vs iOS or which one is objectively better. We are way past that debate. Both are amazing. It’s up to the individual which OS fulfils their purpose. Which one are you sticking with? And are you planning to switch anytime soon?

I tried Android phones for more than a year, now I’m moving back to iOS!

Background

Last year I decided to move to Android side for various purposes, to experience how Android side of things have developed while I was on the Apple ecosystem for more than 5 years. Initially I went with One Plus 13 and used it for about 9 months. Then I exchanged it for Samsung S24 Ultra and used it for around 6 months more before I finally decided to settle back to iOS.

The Android experience

What I Liked

• Hardware
  • Both OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra had excellent hardware.
  • OnePlus felt lighter and more comfortable with the leather back and curves.
  • Samsung’s flat, squared display just looked and felt premium.
• Performance
  • Absolute performance beasts.
  • Multitasking, split-screen, PiP all worked flawlessly without hiccups.
• Charging & Battery
  • Charging speeds are great on both.
  • OnePlus SuperVOOC was insanely fast and actually useful in daily life.
• Useful Extras
  • IR blaster on OnePlus was surprisingly handy for controlling TVs and ACs.
  • S-Pen on S24 Ultra was genuinely useful for quick notes, calculations, and even as a camera shutter.
• Launcher Flexibility
  • Niagara Launcher felt weird on OnePlus but worked really well on Samsung.

What Didn’t Work for Me

• Accessories Ecosystem
  • OnePlus had poor third-party accessory(cases and screenguards) support.
  • Samsung was better, but still not great in terms of quality and consistency.
  • No native Magsafe! S-pen won’t work with magsafe if you got the case for it.
• Fingerprint Scanner + Screen Guards
  • This was honestly a mess.
  • Many screen guards don’t work properly with the in-display fingerprint scanner.
  • You end up doing hacks like registering the same finger multiple times.
  • Even then, reliability is hit or miss.
  • Face unlock sometimes interferes when you are scanning your finger and it leads you to lockscreen edit screen instead of going to the Homescreen.
  • Older rear fingerprint scanners were simply more reliable, like from the early Pixel phones.
• Software Updates
  • Samsung promises long-term support, but updates often felt delayed.
