25W free charger?

Correction. It's 45w charger.

Just to share.
I'm currently using NextDNS with Hagezi normal list. I notice that surfing this lowyat forum, randomly cause the webpage to hang and unable to load finish. I would then need to close this tab and reopen again.

Doesn't happen on any other websites. Most likely it's some ads being block causing it.

i think for the other guy that bought from MG Shopee is 25W charger free.

If the 25w last longer than 45w , I would prefer that too. Haha
45w charger has a bad reputation to be faulty after 6 months usage

On a side note,
For those familiar and prefer with previous Notification Management system. You may revert to the individual notification app settings.

Head to Settings - Notifications - advanced settings - Manage notification categories for each app.
Enable it

If not, you'll have hard time to manage the notifications.

No idea why samsung hide that notification setting

I struggled in the beginning trying to figure out the notifications management. Until I stumble upon that settings.

Exactly same issue on my side, LYN page with adblocker DNS on S25 chrome.
Additional thing I found is, when surfing LYN with adblocker DNS, phone will become hot and battery drop fast.

On PC, I noticed this new ads appeared on lower right corner on LYN page.

Yeah, so now a days I don't surf too long as the phone heats up fast when you browse this forum. Probably the adblock works hard due to the number of ads. Lol

To be specific the ads for top and bottom of it has the following address.

safeframe.googlesyndication.com

Yes, If not mistaken due to heat and also 25W and 45W not much different. Only about 10min of usage. But that is if you can charge at 45W also. I heard 0 to ~30% only 45W after that it will drop.

Perhaps. Nevertheless, free chargers are always a welcome.

So where were your respective S25 handsets made? Check here IMEI Checker.

Mine South Korea. S25+ Blue black

just curious why not just use Samsung Browser, it does not heat up.

Got used to Chrome since I surf with desktop as well. Hence the sync of bookmarks, autofill and other services together in one ecosystem

Somehow this fixed itself without me doing anything. Went to the Samsung service centre and they had no idea and only recommended doing a full reset. Maybe the S25 was just too new and Celcom didn't add it to its OTP network or something? I went from getting ZERO OTP SMSes from any and every app from banks to wechat and Alipay; and now suddenly no hal this morning. At least now I can finally migrate all my secure apps to the new phone instead of keeping half of them active on the old one so I didn't starve from not being able to transfer/use my money  laugh.gif

For certain apps, Google save the credentials using Passkey. So there's no need for OTP login...one example is TNG. Just login as usual at new phone and uses Passkey to verify and login

After my migration to S25+ , I notice my Google Maps Timeline doesn't work anymore.

Not sure if it's my account issue or app .

I clear data for GMaps , Google Play Services too .
Turn off timeline and on again, yet no results .

Hopefully none of you face the same issue as I do. I like the timeline feature so I can recall what place I went to previously

after watching the screen protector testing at bilibili
the best is
1.小黃兄 very expensive AR temper glass Which RM80 to 90
2.尼卡熊 nikax which was like RM40
3. smart devil  the biggest problem is just the black line slightly cover screen

1 and 2 no black outline

The smart devil I bought for my S25+ doesn't has the black line.

Bought at Shopee . Can check the review I uploaded as well.

https://s.shopee.com.my/6KpjwF4Qgg

Not sure if S25 Ultra has the same full clear without black lines.

Just to add on notes.
For those who relies on Timeline for Google Maps, id recommend don't use smart switch to transfer from your old data phone. It'll cause your new s25 phone not to have any timeline recorded.

Skip the smart switch for Google Maps and setup manually. From the old device, run the cloud backup and restore on the new phone

Found an article about it to shed some light.

Nowadays really need to verify thru banking app/call bank directly to register new cards in samsung wallet?

My banking apps all in my primary phone. If need to call bank, you guys do it for each card or can ask do verification for multiple cards?

For Maybank - you'll need to approve through MAE app or give a call to the bank to activate the token. It'll take 1-2 hours for them to activate and able to use it at Samsung Pay.

After update to One UI 8.0, my Samsung 45w charger can't charge my S25+ anymore.

Need to rely 25w charger. Strange bug.

Found a related thread as well.

https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-...8/td-p/35025069

- Ignore this. Charger went kaput. Infamous poor quality charger.

Oh nvm. Found out the 45w Samsung charger went busted. Damn, less than a year usage. This charger is the free one provided during pre-order
