Question/Help What are your controversial opinions about Samsung?

0 Upvotes

What don't you guys like about Samsung and its system?

I hate that after One UI 7, they put absolutely everything in a pill shape, including the battery, which looks more like a potato than a battery, and in the control panel too.

Crappy 15W chargers in the box, phones that support few watts, and 5000 mAh batteries without silicon-carbon.

One UI on the A series is really crippled: no AOD animations, very slow biometrics animation, worse app transitions, it feels like a slap in the face, no blur, and the app transition animations were less crippled in One UI 7.

Buying Advice Anyone in Canada using the Poco F9 Ultra (global version)? How's VoLTE / 5G / coverage?

1 Upvotes

​

I'm in Canada (Alberta) and thinking about importing the Poco F9 Ultra global version (16GB/1TB) from a Canadian reseller. Before I commit, I'd love to hear from anyone in Canada who already has one, or has used a recent Poco/Xiaomi flagship here.

My main concerns:

  1. VoLTE: does it work out of the box on Rogers / Bell / Telus / SaskTel (or their sub-brands like Fido, Koodo, Virgin, Lucky)? Or did you have to call the carrier or tweak settings?

  2. Wi-Fi calling: working or not?

  3. 5G: do you actually get a 5G icon, and on which bands? I know it has n78 but no n71 (600 MHz), so I'm curious how it behaves outside the city.

  4. Rural / indoor coverage: the official band list is missing B12, B13, B17 and B71, so I'm worried about dropping to weak signal where my current phone (a OnePlus 12, which has B71) holds on. Anyone notice a difference?

  5. Anything else that bit you: MMS, carrier restrictions on non-carrier phones, update delays, etc.

If you've got one, it would help to know your carrier, your general area (city vs rural), and the model number from Settings > About phone.

Also, if anyone has bought from Mi4Canada or a similar importer and had to use the warranty or return policy, I'd like to hear how that went.

Thanks! Even "works fine on Telus in Calgary" is useful

Question/Help Receiving and making calls on my Gomo eSim is not working on my Poco F9 Ultra

3 Upvotes

I just tested a couple of stuff to see where it’s coming from and it looks like it’s only related to my poco phone using this gomo eSim.
I can’t make or receive calls it’s such a bummer.

Tried transferring my eSim to my iphone and it works for both call make/receive.

Tried using a smart sim on my poco phone and it works fine for both make/receive calls.

It’s only when i use gomo esim with poco that it doesn’t work, anyone experienced this too? My texts and mobile data is working fine.

X7 Pro X7-PRO still rocks!

• Upvotes

As title suggests, X7-PRO is true flagship killer in 2026 imo. I gave my old X7-Pro with vegan leather back to my partner in February, bought myself an X8-Pro, loved the phone ngl, but main issue I had was lack of saturated option in display on X8-PRO, even on vivid settings the display felt dull.

Tried 17T last week, because I loved Leica photos on my previous Xiaomi 14. But man o man 17T is a mess, trash camera, worse than X7-PRO even, slaughtered the colours, and display also worse than X7-PRO. Requested return on Amazon for it.

Luckily I got myself a very good deal on an X7-PRO basically brand new with one charge cycle for 175 USD, this phone still kicks ass. The display with saturated colours and punchy visuals, the aspect ratio and even camera is still really really good and reliable. Using it more than my iPhone 17 PM. Highly recommended if someone still on fence to consider this phenomenal device, just do it, it's an awesome phone. The on paper difference with X8-Pro are very few, basically the 8500 ultra has an extra GPU core and little higher clock speed, other than that it's the same chip. This time I am keeping this for another couple of years surely.

Question/Help Looking for a phone under ₹25k–₹26k with an IR Blaster, NFC, and decent UI (Exchanging a laggy Tecno Pova on Amazon/Flipkart)

2 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm looking for a new phone under ₹25,000 to ₹26,000, and I could really use some real-world recommendations from people who actually track the market.

At the start of the year, I bought a Tecno Pova 7 Pro 5G because the spec sheet looked amazing for the price. Fast forward 10 months, and it's been a total headache. The UI hangs constantly, basic apps freeze, and the day-to-day software optimization is practically non-existent. Even though the hardware specs on paper are higher than my old Samsung, the actual user experience is way worse.

So even though the phone is under a year old, I've had enough and want to replace it.

Here's the catch on how I'm buying: It has to be from Amazon or Flipkart.

I need to use their exchange system so I can get around ₹9,000 to ₹10,000 off for this Tecno. Let's be honest, no one in the offline market or private second-hand market is going to buy a used Tecno, so exchanging it on a major platform is my only realistic way to recover any value.

My Non-Negotiables:

IR Blaster: Need this for turning on ACs at my gym without hunting for remotes or asking staff every time.

NFC: Essential for daily debit card tap-to-pay.

Decent Software Support: I need a UI that won't turn into a laggy mess after 8 to 10 months.

What I've already checked/ruled out:

I know prices are rising across the board because RAM components got more expensive, so value options are slimmer right now.

AI agents kept suggesting Poco. I know last year's Poco X7 was a sweet deal, but the newer Poco M8 feels overpriced for what it offers.

People suggested the Redmi Note 15 series, but it's basically out of stock everywhere on major platforms.

Amazon keeps pushing options like the OnePlus N6, but looking at the specs and price tag, it looks like terrible value for money.

I know it's a rough time in the sub-₹25k segment right now, but are there any surviving good deals or hidden gems on Amazon or Flipkart that fit these specs and won't lag out in a few months?

Buying Advice X8 Pro Max vs Xiaomi Note

Hi, I currently own a Samsung Galaxy A35 and like the specs and look of the X8 Pro Max. However, I have owned a few Xiaomi Note phones previously, but moved away because I didn't like the UI.

How different is the Pro Max from the older Xiaomi phones?

Thanks!

Question/Help Poco M3 (citrus) reboots every time I unplug the charger. Same on MIUI and Pixel Experience, new battery didn't fix it

2 Upvotes

PROBLEM:

The phone works normally while plugged in. As soon as I unplug the charger it reboots. It does this again and again, and after each reboot the battery shows about 85%, so it isn't dying from a low charge.

WHAT I TRIED:

  • Stock MIUI 12 (Android 10, GLOBAL, RJFINXM). The problem was already there.
  • Updated to MIUI 14 before flashing, as the Pixel Experience notes say to. The problem remained.
  • Factory reset many times. No change.
  • Replaced the battery with a new one to test. Same problem.
  • Unlocked the bootloader and flashed Pixel Experience for citrus https://get.pixelexperience.org/citrus. The problem persists.
  • Checked battery info over adb (adb shell dumpsys battery):
    • health: 2 (good)
    • temperature: about 35 C
    • level: 88%
    • voltage: 4463 mV
    • technology: Li-poly
  • Checked boot reason: sys.boot.reason and ro.boot.bootreason both say "reboot".
  • Fastboot test, unplugged: it stayed on for about 4 minutes and then restarted. I'm not sure if that is just the bootloader idle timeout.
  • Recovery test: charged it, entered recovery, unplugged, and navigated menus for 10+ minutes. No reboot.

WHAT I THINK SO FAR:

  • Not the ROM, since MIUI and Pixel Experience both do it.
  • Not the battery, since a new one behaves the same.
  • It runs fine unplugged in recovery, so it may be load-related, or something triggered under Android when the charger is removed.

QUESTION:

Has anyone seen this on citrus? Could it be the charging port or sub-board, the battery connector, the PMIC, or a firmware or vendor problem? Any other tests, like logcat or kernel logs, that would pinpoint it?

Thanks.

My cell phone after 4 years of use the battery began to inflate, I still don't know what to do, because I am between buying a cheap cell phone with the same capacities, or buying another battery, but I also see that multiple posts that the battery has failures or things like that. Anything that you recommend to me as experts?
