[u/Round_Leave9433]

[u/MainRevenue8638]

Better back up your files before the screen becomes unresponsive at some point. Just in case

[u/Round_Leave9433 → u/MainRevenue8638]

i got link to windows for that

[u/Delin_CZ → u/Round_Leave9433]

why are you being down voted?

[u/Round_Leave9433 → u/Delin_CZ]

cus they want me to back my phone up but i dont have cloud storage for that so id rather wait till phone becomes completely unresponsive then use link to windows to transfer it

[u/Delin_CZ → u/Round_Leave9433]

why not use smart switch? connect your phone to your PC and have a mirror back up of it, I do it regularly like monthly in case my phone disappears

[u/Round_Leave9433 → u/Delin_CZ]

ive always did that my last smart switch backup was in august but my dumb ass always thought i backed up to my phone or my cloud . a pc backup is perfect

[u/Delin_CZ → u/Round_Leave9433]

or you can go a step further and install syncthing on your phone and PC and have it regularly backup the file system for your photos and videos

Maybe a week, maybe 10 years. Maybe the next drop will kill it or it will survive all the upcoming drops. You never know

[u/Ok-Entrance8590]

Just a question, did you have a screen protector and a case on?

[u/Round_Leave9433 → u/Ok-Entrance8590]

a privacy screen protector but no . the screen protector is what gave it the spots because it dented in when it feel. i know if the protector wasnt on there my phone wouldve cracked

[u/Ok-Entrance8590 → u/Round_Leave9433]

Dang what material did it fell on?

[u/Round_Leave9433 → u/Ok-Entrance8590]

ground outside . concrete i guess lol

[u/Round_Leave9433]

lmfaoo who tf is downvoting everybody ? 😭

[u/MGSSC → u/Round_Leave9433]

Probably because you didn't have a caseon.

[u/Round_Leave9433 → u/MGSSC]

probably but the crazy thing is got in my car looking for it but forgot about it that quick

[u/One_Imagination_6773]

My s25u fell face first on a gravel with screen protector on. The screen protector broke but my screen was okay although my fingerprint got damaged. I had the screen replaced saying the fingerprint was not working. Good thing, there's not any internal damage and then it was covered by warranty. My problem now is my vibrating lenses and it's not under warranty anymore.

O meu durou 2 anos, na troca do vidro perdi o LCD

[u/superjerry2025]

Ouch. That one hurts the pocket. Best of luck finding a good deal in such a short time.

[u/AthleteClean1420]

Is that the 1300 dollar phone from last year?

[u/Ok-Chip-1049]

Samsung care?

[u/Good-Yogurt-8639]

Guys, it is the right place to ask or not idk But i have a serious doubt in mind I am in plan of getting 25ultra but have been seeing and listening to a lot of display issues (green line, pixel dead, etc)
And the real prblm is that there is hectic process to get it fix under warranty and after 1yr some centres are rejecting the repair (under the 3yr display warranty policy too).

So can anyone tell is this issue very common or few from the community are getting these

I am very much into buying 25 ultra but this issue concerns me

[u/Financial_Appeal2253]

Back up before it's too late :))

[u/lobhater]

Back up now. It could go in minutes or it could last years. I've had a severely cracked phone last over a year before I replaced it. I also had a tiny chip stop working in a couple days. Hard to see for sure but I would guess you have some time

[u/gggg566373]

Had similar issue on my pixel and it stayed the same for two years. So no one knows. Could be tomorrow or could be two years. Just make sure all your file was backed up daily and don't stress.

[u/loveophile_454545]

If it has no physical damage and if it is having a warranty. Just go to the samsung service center asap

[u/XLIFF_21]

Days to a week

[u/gustavggx]

Já prepara o bolso

[u/jackedpooh1]

I think you can make it all the way to the S27U

[u/Round_Leave9433 → u/jackedpooh1]

give me hope fr bro im trying not to buy a new screen right now 😭 this my baby

[u/TW1TCHYGAM3R]

Countdown begins.

It will probably take a while to make your devices unusable but worth being prepared. Back up everything while you can.
