Anyone find if you put the phone in power saver or the extreme power saver where you limit all apps that the battery actually drains quicker?
Anyone had issues with Mobile Phones Direct, aka AO?
Cancelled my order, wouldn't say why, said it's for my own security, end of the matter and no more info. Idiots.
Might try again today, could be that I have a mobile supplier account at another address and they've thrown a wobbler, even after I've supplied ID and address confirmation.

This isn't entirely new, but there have been some conflicting reports - e.g. the 65W charging upgrade may not be happening.
Interesting, always nice to have the latest and greatest, but the S23U is just so good, seems criminal to get rid of it after only one yearLeaked Galaxy S24 Ultra specs include a titanium frame, upgraded cameras and a Snapdragon chip

.Exactly my thoughts, the S23U ticks all the boxes including the Snapdragon chip which we've been eagerly waiting for, (rumours are the S24 will be using Exynos again)Interesting, always nice to have the latest and greatest, but the S23U is just so good, seems criminal to get rid of it after only one year
I'm pretty sure I will be keeping this one for a while!
Rumors are ultra stays with Qualcomm.
That's good news, still a long time to go yet but hopefully that will happen.
Anyone recommend a screen protector for these? I've got a fairly expensive UV one from Amazon, it's perfect (fingerprint works fine etc) but my Spigen case is pushing the edges of it up slightly which is annoying. Any UV screen protectors around with like 1mm less lateral coverage?
Cracking phone other than that, feels like an actual upgrade coming from an S10, which is an unusual feeling these days!

Anyone had the issue with WhatsApp live location stopping updates when the phone locks? I used to be able to turn it on, lock the phone, and it would continue to update my location to the other user. Now, the screen has to be unlocked AND the actual map in whatsapp needs to be tapped/fullscreen etc to work properly. Very annoying....and as soon as the phone locks itself, it stops until i unlock it again.

Any good deals about? At launch, you could get an S23 ultra 512gb, after trading in an s22 ultra 512gb, for ~£630, but now the best deals i can find are closer to £900!
Took me 3 screen protectors to find the right one. This IMBZBK [4+4 Pack] UVworks well with my low/thin profile case on my Ultra.
September security patch just went live

ive had the same
Anyone give any help on lock.screens
Normally I like a plain lock screen just clock and notifications
But away at the mo and would.be nice to see 2 clocks on the front
Also the standard weather widget is crap as you have to click on the clock icon and move down etc..
Is there no way just to see the weather from the.lock screen without tapping etc.

Not sure if you're running the beta software but on mine you can add the 2 clocks by selecting the clock widget 'dual clock'
As for the weather try the BBC weather app or Met office. I've had those and the stock weather app running at the same time and all gave different forecasts lol.
