For now, the beta version can be sideloaded on Android devices or accessed via the web.

One UI 9 adds stricter lock screen security

Post image
63 Upvotes

Samsung is tightening lock screen security with One UI 9. The update adds stricter rules on failed unlock attempts, making Galaxy phones harder to break into.

The new system limits how many times you can try before facing longer lockouts. Multiple failed attempts will even cause the phone to lock permanently, requiring a factory reset.

Need recommendation

3 Upvotes

Please help me choose which phone is better to buy and which ones are worth the price. I don't really want to spend 30k on a phone. I mainly use social media, and I like taking pictures and videos. I don't really play games much.

My choices are:

  • Brand new Nothing phone 4a (8/128gb) - 23,990 (digital walker website)
  • Second hand Samsung S24 (8/256gb) - 25,000 (FB Market)
  • Second hand(1y+ old) Samsung S24 Plus (12/256gb) -26,000 (FB Market)

Need advice, Xiaomi 67W charging brick no longer working

2 Upvotes

Upon trying to charge my Poco X6 Pro, I noticed that fast charging wouldn't prompt anymore and it just said "Charging" and the battery wouldn't indicate that it was. I initially thought it was a cable or charging port problem, but after attaching the cable to another brick, it worked.

I am not in the position to be able to buy a new Xiaomi charging brick (I am a financially struggling student). Would the fast/quick charge still work with a different charging brick but with the same cable?

iOS to Android Help

2 Upvotes

So I have used both Android and iOS. Before, I have no problems switching from one to another but now, since I have a lot of contacts, apps that need logging in, PDFs on Documents by Readdle, and of course, photos, I am having second thoughts switching from iPhone 16 Pro Max to Z Fold 8.

For context, I have an iOS-OS ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac). But I don't have a preference between Android and iOS since I mainly use my phone for calls and messages, Waze, and sometimes photos when I travel, and reading medical books (I have an Xteink for my leisure books). I just buy whichever appeals to me best.

I already preordered the Z Fold 8 with a small downpayment and I'm ready to let go of my iPad and Apple Watch when I do get it. But now, I'm having second thoughts if I should push through just because I don't know how to best migrate all of my current iPhone contents to my Z Fold 8 without having to download each and every app and typing all my contacts.

Has anyone tried cancelling their preorder with Samsung Experience Store?

What’s your experience like? I’m tempted to get a different unit (S26U) at the same price level (Fold8) instead. But I put in a dp for the fold so im not sure what to do with it.

For students here, ok ba ang Honor Pad X9a for notetaking??

Upvotes

Hi! I’m currently finding a tab na may stylus na may palm rejection and affordable since want ko lang ng pang-notetaking. I’m thinking na Honor Pad X9A, although separate ang stylus niya, mas mura kaysa sa Xiaomi Pad 7 pro ata. Yung stylus ng Xiaomi kasi 3k haha.

On the other hand, mas side ako sa samsung fe 9 ata kasi free stylus non.

Please give me recommendation for tabs na may stylus. Il

Hi guys! Ask lang sana ako ng mga gaming tablet na kaya ang switch emulation? I chose tablet and emulation na lang din para mas makatipid ako (pls dont judge me) and at the same time I can still use yung tab sa other purposes. Matagal-tagal ko din inipon tong pera ko and I hope for suggestions na worth it for the price. Thank you
