Not looking to be funny but I thought you'd said you weren't upgrading this year due to finances?

If I'm wrong and it was someone else, then I apologise
The way some of y'all literally seem to keep track of what everyone writes in this sub forum is creepy and weird. The policing is so unnecessary.

Also, in general, who cares if mjschabow is switching to Samsung again. That's their business, and at least they give Android a chance, unlike most Apple users. Literally, who cares.

That is good to hear. I also do not like huge phones, but the S25 Ultra seemed a far better upgrade than the S25 Plus. Good to hear about battery life as well. How does it compare with the S24+ in terms of battery? My main issue with the S23 is battery life, which is usually about 60% before lunch time.
The battery is better than my plus. I went most of the day without charging and I'm still on 40% this morning. Standby time is better. My S24+ would drain a bit when not in use. I didn't start switch but was very selective with what I brought over from the S24+ so as not to introduce any bugs.
Also: are you using a case? I am thinking of going caseless.
I am using a case. I don't like going careless but I don't use bulky cases either. Samsung gave me a credit when I purchased the phone so I got two silicone Samsung cases [don't care for how they feel] and one kindsuit case which i really like. None are too bulky and offer decent protection. Thinking of getting a Spigen too.

It's just simple memory, no tracking of posts is required. A few days isn't a long time to retain info imo

When somebody posts something that is contradictory or opposes something previously said, I'm not sure how that's creepy but each to their own. Lol

Policing is unnecessary yet here you are doing some policing of your own. #ironic
 
Has home up been added to the latest goodlock update because I can't see it?
 
@jamezr hey quick question on Apple Music. Are you able to ask Google Assistant to play an album or playlist. And how does it work on Android Auto.

Thanks!

Not sure how it works on Android Auto... but you can access Apple Music under the Google app. You can then ask Gemini or Google Assistant to play an album or playlist.

Love this!

But also keeping a close eye on YouTube Music. Seems that they’re improving at a fast pace.
Tbf, I wish Google would separate the two (Youtube & YT Music) under their Premium plan… I rarely use YT Music. But it’s a package deal for the subscription… I don’t use YT Music on the iPad, since Google REFUSE to add SplitView and SlideOver.

I’ve had users here bring up things I’ve said months ago. Months ago.

Also, that user could be choosing to not switch to the S25U for a variety of reasons, not just because of finances or just because they feel Samsung didn’t do enough this cycle. It looks like the user isn’t switching largely because of those two reasons. If there are other reasons as well, cool. It’s not my place to say, WELL, YOU SAID X LAST TIME!! Again, who cares.

You seem to care enough to keep posting in a thread in which you were not actively participating. You seem astounded that some people have good memories. Oh well, it makes the world interesting.

You apparently care as you've come back to add more to it!

Anyway not to worry. Back to the thread

The one thing I will say in defense of what she’s saying is that the comments of “we all know you’re just going to go back” and “I give you 2 weeks” get a bit old after a while to the point where I had to take a break from this forum until I decided what I wanted to do.

With that said, I really appreciate the encouragement after I let it known that I ordered one.

Speaking of that, can my Ultra ship already, dammit??? 🤣

Yea, but last time only weeks ago you brought it on yourself by saying that you would give it at least a week, to then return the device the next day ;)

Yeah, but it was also within my right to return the Pixel because I immediately knew it wasn’t going to work. Last time I had a Samsung, I used it as my daily driver for almost a year, yet people were like “I give you a week”.

Ah yes, correct. I recall thinking that wow, it looks like he will keep it, it has been almost a year. But then...
I was rooting for you and still am. After all, these are only phones, nothing to get too serious about.

I was so close last time, lol. Apple kept pulling me back but I’m so less invested in their ecosystem now and my views on the company have really soured too. So I’m definitely hoping this time that the pull back is less. There will probably still be some of course but I’m hoping much less!
