That's right I remember you doing a factory reset. It really doesn't bother me enough to have that light on, not enough to do a factory reset. But interesting that it fixed it!
Got a tip for us?

Spent 24 hours away from this device and couldn't handle it. I'm back baby!
The Fold 7 is back in the box.

Can you share your thoughts as to why you’ve switched back and how do you feel about the ultra now you have?
Biggest thing. Even though the outer screen is much bigger now, I still don't like using it, but it's also kind of a pain opening the phone up. And my thought so along was that I was only going to keep it if I was so blown away that I didn't miss my Ultra. But missing my Ultra while paying $1,000 after a trade in just doesn't make sense.
Biggest issues for me are exactly what I thought they'd be:
- Camera
- Battery (and charging speeds)
With that said, I have major FOMO at the moment because that big screen on the Fold 7 is so good, but I'm just going to try to remind myself that I'm saving $1,000 and I still have the top phone on the market.
That aligns with my thoughts. What colour S25U do you have?
I did love the inner screen too but didn’t love the cover screen - my use case means I’d probably be using the cover screen around 70% of the time.
The S25U is just perfect in terms of screen size for me.
I have the White Silver 256gb. Not my favorite configuration. I think I'm going to go black for the S26 Ultra and 512gb since I'm sitting here with about 60gb left.
All that needs to be done to chase the green thing away:
1. Change Location Services setting for Google to "only when using app", instead of all of the time.
2. Make sure "use precise location" is enabled.

I've been on Apple Music as my streaming service but I wonder what is the best streamer to use with Android Auto? Voice Commands have never worked well with Apple Music (Always telling me when it's safe use the app on the phone) and I'm thinking maybe it's time to switch. That and my AM annual subscription ends in late September. I have used Spotify and I like it except for 2 things: They don't have a shuffle entire library option for some strange reason and the way they handle local files leaves a lot to be desired. Also, with Apple Music they recently updated it to make it less user friendly than it was before. I'm not sure if they really care about the Android app as much (And why should they).
apologies if this is off topic...but....
In my continuing effort to move away from Apple products and services. Apple Music has been hard to move away from because of all the playlists and stuff I have on there from all the years.....
But I used TuneMyMusic to move everything over to Spotify!

I was very painless......But there is a limit to the amount of free playlist it will do. But there there is an 5.5 dollar monthly fee option. then just cancel after everything is copied over. It did 500 songs for free.
Thanks. I'm not sure if I will leave every apple product (I get Apple TV for free through T Mobile and Apple TV the box is still great). I just think it might be time to leave Apple Music.
Guys I am currently considering switch from iPhone to S25U. Please tell me how smooth is transferring photos from Ultra to an external drive?
No it doesn't. You really just use it one time to set up everything and it is a seamless process. I had to do it last year between Iphone and Samsung and then this year from the S24 to S25 and it worked both times. You might need to make some minor adjustments if you go from Iphone to Samsung, but the initial set up is really all you need to worry about.
You looking to leave Apple altogether? No iphone 17 pro max ?
correct......I have had every iPhone since day one. This will be the first year I will not get the new iPhone. Starting to move away from all of the Apple services as well.
Rumor was beta 4 before the end of month, but it might be considered an RC. I don't have much experience with Samsung's beta cycles.Just got a new update. Could this be the full version of One UI 8?
I'm on the beta One UI 8 at the moment.
It's crazy isn't it? Even 2 years ago when I switched, I'd usually get the itch to switch back to Apple multiple times per week. Now it's been 6 months and maybe I've gotten the itch 3-4 times total.
My 16PM sits in a drawer. Every time I get the itch to use it.....I switch it our from one of my other phones but....Personally I feel like it is a step backwards from my S25U and P9XL
I can't imagine you passing up on the iPhone 17 Pro Max... now, 15PM to 16PM wasn't much of a upgrade (imo).
But at least there's some design changes with the upcoming iPhones... my iPhone ownership days has past me, but if I was into iPhones then the 17 Pro/Pro Max (or maybe the Air just to have something different) would be on my upgrade list.
