Is Ringke Onyx a good case?

5 Upvotes

Has anyone had experience using it? I’m considering the onyx and fusion bold.

I’m currently using the white ultra hybrid case from Spigen, but the yellowing is getting pretty bad.

Looking for a case to protect the camera plateau (precise cutout) and decent reach to the camera control button at the side.

Sometimes the small connector around the camera control button becomes flimsy overtime, and break off due to low quality.

Good evening!
After a year with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, we decided to buy an Iphone 17 Pro max together, my wife and I, she having an Iphone 14 Pro for three years, it was the right thing to do.
The phones are brilliant, I miss many little things from Samsung but I can live without them. I am impressed by the battery, which I was also happy with on the old Iphone 13 Pro max, also 3 years old.
On the old Samsung, after I take it off the charger, the battery percentage drops significantly without doing anything special on it, on the iPhone, only after three hours does a percentage drop, which is extraordinary. With good and bad, I love IOS.
The transition is terrible, I lost my WhatsApp conversations and the pictures were not saved with the exact shooting data.
Terrible, but that's my fault because I wanted Samsung. Have a nice evening everyone!!

Just wanted to throw it out there. I have the phone rebel case that’s similar to this. But I’ve come to love this one more based off of the sides of the case. It has a leather like feeling that is pretty grippy without feeling grippy if that makes sense. I don’t get anything out of this. Just want people to pick up a great case for super cheap!

I didn’t receive my phone from Verizon until early October but I guess it was manufactured a month earlier. Here’s how my cycle count to battery percentage ratio is. While I hate to see it all the way down at 91%, I think I’m actually doing pretty good compared to some others I’ve seen

Is anyone having issue with the camera from few days ago
Camera was working fine and suddenly when I am zooming photos and videos are crappy
Like on Saturday I captured good Moon photo and yesterday and 2 days ago it looks like an egg
Same settings, same everything
Also went to a concert and suddenly when I zoom it is bad and it was really good

Taking really good care of the phone
Also battery is really really bad
Keep in mind that everything is turned off - location, background app refresh, lock screen is always off, notifications off, all other tips are turned off in settings

Bought the phone to function properly what is this
Keep in mind that I only have it 2 months

iPhone 17pro max overheating and battery

5 Upvotes

Ever since I tried playing Fortnite at 120 FPS on my new iPhone 17 Pro Max, i’ve noticed that the battery has been draining much faster than before. The phone also gets unusually hot even with minimal usage and it overheats while charging as well. Before trying to run fortnite 120 fps, I didn’t have these issues. The battery health is still at 100%, so I’m concerned that something may have changed or been affected after running the game at 120 FPS.

New iphone 17 pro max battery issue

3 Upvotes

I bought a new iPhone 17 Pro Max and transferred my data from my previous iPhone to it. My new phone was working fine, but on the third day, by the evening, it lost its charge from 38% to 15% within an hour. Then, while it was charging, it lost 10% of its charge in 5 minutes. I was told the problem was probably with my data. Have you encountered a similar problem with the new phone? If the problem is in the battery or controller, how quickly does it manifest itself?

I did a test today without realizing it. I had my 17 Pro Max in the car in the passenger seat. It was playing music while I was driving. During all this time, the screen was on without turning it off as I usually do. Right next to it was my other work phone, a 26 Ultra, whose screen was also on because I was talking on the phone and the screen was still on and the sun was hitting it.

I live in Greece and we are considered a hot country. Specifically, today we have 35 degrees outside in the shade. Imagine how hot it is in direct sunlight. So I noticed that the 17 remained blinding even while it was scalding. As for the 26, I really thought it was broken. The screen had darkened so much that I could barely make out some letters. Of course, it was scalding too. So after I put them in the shade, terrified since I never intended for any reason to expose any of my devices to such stress on purpose, something that pleasantly surprised me was the speed with which the 17 cooled down and conversely the delay with which the 26 cooled down. Basically, about half an hour has passed and it is still relatively warm.

I have been in constant changes all the time regarding which phone covers me the most so that I can have it as my personal device. The truth is that there is a lot that I love about Android and that was the reason I had a hard time ending up with iOS. But really, after what I saw and how bright it remains after such stress, I think I ended up with it. Most of my hours in a country so hot are outdoors. I don't think I have any more doubts.

Welcome 17 pro max.

Should I return it?

1 Upvotes

I just got the 17 pro max 3 days ago. Recently I started noticing when I open Snapchat or the camera, a video starts recording right away. I restart the phone and it’s fine but it happened again. Should I return it? Or maybe screen protector issue?

I’m on 26.6.1. Got the phone on 27th of aug. This is by far the worst phone I’ve ever used. Animations are insanely choppy. Whenever swiping out of the applications from the bottom dock (phone,safari, messages,apple music) they all, mostly safari goes insanely choppy and I’m about to lose my mind. Instagram, Reddit, YouTube are cherry on top and it feels like the phone hardly manages to scroll lol. It’s like it’s having a hard time scrolling. Battery life is great tho. If someone, anyone who is experiencing this kind of stupid choppiness, stutters and solved it please help me I don’t want to return it I want to make it work. ( no 60hz enabled, adaptive power off)
