I've also noticed the percentages don't add up. For example the first 5 add up to about35% then there's a few 0.1%ers but no where near the massive drain I'm seeing.

Does any ever notice any sound quality differences if you start playing audio when the screen is off, compared to when the phone is in use?
I go from a "flat" sound to a more "expansive" Dolby Atmos like sound if I unlock the phone after audio has already started playing when the screen was off.
I don't understand why it isn't constant, when the phone is on/off. I didn't have this issue with a S9+.
Switching the screen on isn't always an option, especially in the middle of the night.
Phone S21. App: Listen Audiobook Player. Audio: Any audiobook. I've not tried any other player or music.
Thanks.

What do people use as an alternative to smart view? It doesn't find my tv and when I looked it up people are saying its been broken since Android version 11, we're now on 12.

I've just tested it out and it works OK for me.
Are you using a Firewall on your phone? I had to configure mine differently to get it working. Initially it wouldn't work at all.

Hmm firewall on my phone? Where do I look for that option?
On my old S4 phone it connected easily.. and the weird thing is I can cast youtube videos to the tv, just not the screen.

The Firewall would need to be downloaded as an App.
It doesn't sound you've got one installed. Sorry, I don't know what else to suggest.

So worth waiting for the s22 to see price drops on the s21? Been out the game a while.

I figured out the problem. I had to turn the wifi direct setting on with the LG Smart TV. I've never had to do that before, as because apps like Youtube still casted to the tv without it.
Depends on how they price the S22.

Just got another update through and a few improvements and not just the monthly security update. S21U on Vodafone.

Is anyone having any weird issues with the latest software Android 12?
Mine updated last week, and the pull down menu toggles seems to have an issue with the screen rotate icon needing more than one press.
Moving the icon to a different position doesn't change its behaviour, and all the other toggles work fine.
Well finally after several updates and no fix for this (I even reset the phone)...The latest OTA fixed the issue

This may be a bit pointless 
But as the sky is clear tonight, I decided to take a photo of the moon as its probably the only time I would ever use the x100 'zoom'
No special filters or tweaks, just camera on Auto.

Has anyone tried the new Samsung camera app yet? It's called Expert Raw, and obviously it's to take photos in raw format. But blinking el, it's a very good simple app to have manual control over each lens on the back of the camera, and takes stunning pictures without the usual guff going off in the normal camera app.
It's not available over here yet, as I think it's being trialed in South Korea. But you can get the latest version from XDA.

Can anyone share what the screen on time until full battery drain is like on their device now after a year? Really interested if it's still on par with day one or has drastically reduced over time.

S22 looking good for me. Squared off shape with S pen. Looks pricey though?

5 hour hours ish for me.

I guess it'll be a curved screen and ultrasonic fingerprint? I'm fed up of TPU screen protectors on my S21U, not buying the S22U if it's the same.

Trying to find out if its dual sim and micro sd? My S10+ can't do all three which is a pain.
