I think samseng tried to bite what they can chew. they were presumed to be "hitting record preorder numbers" but they cannot fulfill all of them properly and systematically like what apple usually does. a bit padan muka.

go to settings, search for private dns.
then in the private dns field, just put dns.adguard.com and voila
remember that it doesn't work on whitelisted apps such as youtube. still better to use vanced/revanced for it.

yes, save it and you're good to go

liddat ler, adguard dns blocks most of the ads unless reaching a whitelisted app
would've suggested u to create a routine but there's no selection for u to alter the private dns in it, too bad

wtf lmao didn't know they pull these kinds of shady moves

u didnt receive the sms? I received this more than a week ago

can transfer via smartswitch

but I do something bit different, I run revanced instead of vanced
https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager

steps: https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/commen...de_for_dummies/
quite easy to setup, more flexible than vanced
remember to turn off the spoofing for wifi connection or some sort though, will cause crashing

rip, what samseng's doing is totally unfair, first batch fulfilled and the rest go fuckall

depends, at 0% it'll reach almost 45w, then gradually slow down

but ofc cannot compared to 100W+ phones, they usually will have slightly constant almost-100W speed for the first 10-15% then exponentially gets lower.

after using the device since 17th feb, I notice some software issues with the device:
1. when u pull ur s pen out, sometimes the device cannot connect to it and shows a popup along the line of "couldn't connect to s pen". you cannot do air actions, but can still perform actions on the screen e.g. writing.

2. the night mode is over processed, such that in low light environment, it will add an annoying halo over the subject(s) in the photo. this happens in normal mode and expert raw mode, and is highly replicable. this is also when I learn that pro mode does not process your photo, WYSIWYG, which will come in very handy if u want to shoot photo as what you're seeing from the viewfinder.

3. adaptive brightness bugs out during screen-on sometimes . I take my phone outside, display will turn bright as expected, then I bring it back inside to a darker room, the brightness will be stuck at the outdoor level of brightness. the brightness bar slider is actually showing the correct value (level of brightness) as it sets itself to about 20%, but the display seems to be not reading the said value correctly. turning the screen off and on again will fix it.

come share what other bugs you've encountered

sample track? which level of loudness
humming like rattling sound? are u able to nail down whether if it's the top or bottom speaker

i hear samsung follows each country's law for that specific feature, for example in indonesia and thailand u can record, but USA, singapore, malaysia etc cannot record

ever since note 4 edge I had been using gboard. note 9 also gboard. but this time I gave samsung keyboard a try, and I'm surprised it's actually kinda good too, just need to shift the usage mindset a little bit. the prediction feature ofc not that suitable for us Malaysians since they attempt to correct our intended rojak texts, but I can still easily recorrect it since it'll highlight the changed words and allow u to click and revert them back when necessary.

I also use Keys Cafe (official samsung app) to change the keyboard skin...can create colourful ripple animations and custom kb layouts

note 4 edge, 2015 - 2018
note 9, 2018 - 2023
note 23, 2023 -

i don't understand the hoo-hahs, I have both the 65W charger and 45W charger, and the time taken to charge my device is the same

65W charger for 45W (USB-C1, PPS) has 3 modes:
11V * 3.5A = 38.5W
16V * 2.8A = 44.5W
20V * 2.25A = 45W

45W charger has 1 mode (PPS):
20V * 2.25A = 45W

u misunderstood, the "hoo-hahs" I mentioned about is that if u read post history, a lot of people think that 45w charger > 65w charger because 65w charger presumably "supplies less wattage" than 45w charger during SFC2.0. a few pages ago, one mentioned that USB-C1 from 65W charger only supplies max 38W due to a supposedly "3.5A cap"
I'm here to prove that the presumption is incorrect, because they're the same based on the ratings printed on both the charger which I have on hand and with a simple P=A*V u can calculate the total power. P is the one that is important (wattage), not A (ampere) which a lot people here confused with

44.8W...I miscalculated. lol
I have both, ori 65W and ori 45W

I watched the full video you linked. I'm not sure I follow ur conclusion...

stuffs he tested was cycling different PDO modes and PPS modes, manually keyed in 40W to test the efficiency (45W in 40W out) and switch to 65W for the THD (very bad THD), tested peak power from 65W onwards, and finally criticised the THD quality heavily.
stuffs he highlighted also is that the charger itself provides max 65W, so if use 25W port together, USB-C1 will become 40W and C2 stays 25W.
he did not test if his device could get 45W from any PPS mode, let alone concluding that he could only get peak 38W from any of the PPS modes.

...don't tell me you were referring to the 37.3W average real power used (lower is better) metric while he was giving final quality score?

edit: I'm not here to defend samseng ya...I have a fair share of strong criticisms on their products. but 45W power is not one of them.
it's your device that tells the charger to pull power, not the other way round, as if the charger pumps your device whenever it likes. if your S23U asks for 30W, your 45W/65W charger will supply 30W.
