Historically the US is WAY behind Europe and sometimes even Canada when it comes to tech upgrades and rollouts...

Example being gigabyte plus Wan access and the cellular 5g rollout

In Europe, greater than gigabyte internet speeds have been common for MANY years and is relatively cheap compared to the US, especially in regards to fiber internet.

Why?

The United States was stupid when originally laying out it "broadband internet" plan...it relied on existing dsl and copper infrastructure already in place from older and outdated tech to save on costs and time.

Europe, for the most part, went fiber on their layout. Copper and fiber.

Copper and dsl obviously don't have the bandwidth and throughput performance of fiber.

Thus internet speeds in Europe greatly outpaced the US. You all were just introduced to gigabyte plus internet when we were all just getting 100mbps donwload/10mbps upload coax Copper internet speeds

You still see this in internet providers who "mention fiber" in their gigabyte offering but the upload speeds don't match the download.

That's because those companies are still using Copper for their endpoints. Their servers may be fed by fiber, but eventually Copper is introduced and ran to each premise. And Copper can't do full bandwidth in both directions, at the same time, like fiber can. Hence why you see 1000mbps download speeds with 20mbps upload, where true fiber you get 1000mbps download/1000mbps upload

This is also why the 5g rollout happened in Europe much sooner than the US. And why their speeds are so much faster.

5g still needs fast internet from landlines installations to provide wirelessly...the 5g can only go as fast as its land connection goes.

Europe had silly fast land line already in place from fiber and had like 1/8th the latency of Copper

The US was still primarily Copper based. Fiber is being expanded but slowly cuz its expensive now. That's also why when verizon rolled out is mmwave initially, it was in such few places. It needed to be placed directly on a large fiber installation.

The US is now playing around with utilizing wireless for large backhaul instead of tradtional land line installations for base stations' but the latency is still way too high and unpredictable and distance is an issue. And because the tech to produce such repeaters is so frigging new and expensive, it makes it extremely costly.

It's why most wireless providers in the US and stopped totally about 2 years ago with mmwave type 5g expansions and focused solely on c band. The mmwave tech costs and arm and a leg and requires too much installation equipment is such a small radius

Boise started using repeater mmwave stations for backhaul about two years ago. It sorta worked. I got mmwave speeds around 800mbps. When next to the actual land fed mmwave tower downtown though I got around 3000-4000mbps though. So dramatic throughput loss over less than a mile

Verizon promptly tore all those repeaters down several months later tho. It was deemed too expensive for such little improvement in terms of broad network

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Talderon:
[TL;DR] Is it worth upgrading from the S22U to an S23U? No, unless the upgrade it practically free.

Well, I was one of the very lucky T-Mobile users that managed to get their phone early (I got mine yesterday (02/10/2023)).

I have the S23U while my wife has had her S22U since launch.

Here are things I am finding as we do side-by-side comparisons. Please note that these are just our observations and nothing really scientific or determined as concrete.

Speed:

The S23U is visibly faster than the S22U in some specific instances, otherwise, they are pretty much the same.

Here are the areas the S23U beats out the S22U:

1. File Copies

2. Large Game Load Times

3. Boot-up

4. Transitions (closing/swapping apps)

5. App installations

Most other instances, things are not really noticeable to the eye (not using benchmark numbers since it's hard to translate them to real-world when you are USING the phone).

Cases:

There is a lot of talk out there how S22U cases fit the S23U and, for the most part, this is true, however, some cases that have tighter tolerances that others will not work. I have found that in some cases, the volume buttons are not exactly the same. My Unicorn Beetle case will fit my wife's S22U without issue, but the CaseBorne case has a tendency to mash the Volume Up button on the S22U. Cases with tighter tolerances with the Camera's will also have issues with the phone.

Fingerprint Scanner:

This is one spot that the S23U beats the S22U hands down. I removed my wife's WhiteStone Dome (it needed replacement, went with amFilm if anyone is interested) and we tested this and the S23U unlocks instantly whereas the S22U pauses for a split second. I did use my fingers for this test and tested with a few different fingers and even scanned one of my fingers 2 times (had 2 entries for the same finger) and the S23U beat it hands down.

Network Speeds:

I did not do much testing on 5G as there are WAY too many factors that can play hell with bandwidth, even with the phones next to one another. Keeping that in mind, WiFi is really different between the 2 devices.

We have gigabit fiber here.

WiFi 6:

I can routinely get 350 to 450 mbps on my S23U and slightly slower on the S22U (avg 260 to 375) (sub 7ms ping)

WiFi 6e: Both phones, when on WiFi 6e (My new gear arrived today, so I took this as an opportunity to test both), scream. Both phones on 6e manage to average over 800mbps repeatedly, so if you are wondering if it's worth it, then YES, or wait for WiFi 7.

Honestly, even my old Z Fold 3 screamed on 6e, so make sure your device supports it.

Sorry iPhone/iPad folks, they don't support 6e (yet).

In the end, my wife asked if it I honestly thought it was worth the upgrade from an S22U to an S23U. It wasn't hard for me to answer, unless you are getting one SCREAMING deal on the upgrade, no, not at all. And by screaming deal, I mean getting the upgrade for next to nothing.

Feel free to ask questions and I'll work on getting back to everyone.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] skriefal:
There does seem to be a wide variance in speeds with Wifi 6 routers and access points. I just tested my S22U and got 732Mbps down, 852Mbps up on 5GHz Wifi6 to an ASUS AX11000 mesh access point. Upstream does usually test out a bit faster than downstream but I don't know if that's my phone, or the router/AP, or my Google Fiber service.

I'm sticking with this until Wifi 7 is readily available at a good price. :)

I do have an S23U on the way. And it would be great if my "one-of-a-kind" wood + resin S22U case from Carved.com fits the S23U. But if not - I have two others ready to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Talderon:
It's hit and miss on wifi6 like you said. Wifi6e had been SO NICE!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] evilblade:
The case won't fit. I was on the same boat (with different case), ordered new one. Bottom lens is 1mm or so lower.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] skriefal:
You're correct. The S22U case from Carved doesn't fit acceptably on the S23U due to the lower positioning of the bottom lens.

I'm currently using an EJGNA case. Seems good enough for now - but I may order another case from Carved for the S23U.

[Device Repair] juanm_la22:
Hi guys!

A few month ago, I was charging my phone with my standup desktop built in USB and sudenly stopped charging. After a further reasearch, I figured out that the problem was with the charging board, so I ordered a replacement and change it. After that, the phone started to charge again, but I never got network signal again (No service). I tried a couple of thing in that moment and I discover that the sim is being detected, but for some reason the ICCID is not the same compared with the Phones ICCID, because the former is unknown. In the urgency of having a phone, I bought what I could afford in that moment, a Samsung A12, which I hate from the first day hahaha (it is slow as my grandma driven an old Citroen!).

Yesterday I decided to investigate further, and I stumped into a forum post in Motorola official forum and the proposed solution was to erase modemst1 and modemst2 partitions with fastboot. So I did it, all the commands ran well, but the phone still dont get any network provider signal.

What do you think it may be the issue? I am really keen on bringing this phone to live again, because it is everything working just fine except this.

Kind regards,

Juan

I'd like to remap the phone send button on my Diamond. And I don't want to use AEButton Plus or any other app. I'd like to be able to edit the registry or something. Is it possible?
[General Questions and Answers] juiceppc:
bump........
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
no its not possible, because thats why they are called "Hard Keys" ;)
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
naw, ather, your Camera and IE/GPS buttons are called Hard keys as well but can be mapped.

If i'm not mistaking it was discussed before and no-one managed to map it.
[General Questions and Answers] juiceppc:
Gotcha. So then I'll assume all AEButton Plus does is wait in the background then intercept the button call before Windows receives it then issues it's own command.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Nettwerk:
Hello members. Is been pass for when Google Pixel 7/7 Pro was released. New phones come out new hype, impressions. This is like every year but interesting to see how people reacts and what think. I'm maybe to old for this but for last few years I keep devices for longer time. Before Google 7 Pro, I used Note 20 Ultra. I was happy with it. But I prefer clean Android and Google features, this is why I switched to Pixel (I'll not switch and I'm not interested for longer time now). So I have questions for you. Who switched to Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra from Pixel 7/7 Pro or oposite from S23 Ultra to Pixel 7 Pro think. Or switched from diferent device, brand phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
My Pixel 7 Pro has some sort of motherboard or power issue that keeps frying screens. I am on my second Pixel 7 Pro screen replacement and the third is starting to show similar pulsing of brightness and flickering symptoms. I have an S23 Ultra on order for pick up on Friday at my local Best Buy and I can't wait.

I also can't wait to have a modem that's actually worth a damn and more than 24 hours of battery life when I don't use my phone heavily.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lil_kujo:
I changed my pixel 7 pro for the ultra and I got it yesterday. The pixel 7 pro is a good phone for regular use with a great camera, it's snappy and very fluid and some decent performance while gaming. Battery wasn't that solid. I used it for the past three months since it came out. Since receiving my ultra S23 i can say just WOW. This device is a beast. Camera zoom is incredible even tho the colors are saturated that can be fixed after with may photo app, even Googles own photo app with just auto fix can do the trick. Battery wise it's a tank and the feel of the device is heavy compared to the pixel 7 pro but feel and solid. Software wise is like pixel os or stock android on steroids i really like the widget stacking and other minor things. From the time I got till today I can say that so far it's a Greta super snappy very good camera dm battery beast device. Definitely an upgrade from the pixel 7 pro. Once you change most things to Google like keyboard and all the other things you won't really miss the other device. I would rate it a 9.5/10 and the pixel 7 pro 8/10
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lil_kujo:
Just a quick screen shot of the battery life with just one cycle. That's with one hour of video call, toms of video and web browser, VPN and not battery optimization just plain stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] otonieru:
I own Pixel 7 Pro. Now waiting for my S23 Ultra to arrived on 24th February.

Am not switching tho. I gonna retire my Aquos R6.

Plan to use my S23 Ultra in stock configuration, locked bootloader, no root. I just gonna debloat using Brevent, blocking ads using private DNS, and managing permissions & net acess using AppOps & Netguard. I still hate Samsung for all features that got nerfed/disabled once you unlock your bootloader. But then, nowadays, it's hard to find brand who release decent phone with 1TB configuration (Apple OS sucks, Xperia price isn't worth it's features & specs. There's Nubia, but it lean heavily towards gamer's need while i prefer a better camera)

So, Pixel 7 Pro for all the mods. And S23 Ultra for Banking (zero headache without root) & Multimedia center.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PrinceLc:
A bit off topic but I switched from the P6P Google to the S23 U. I say wow about performance Camera and overall the S Pen and so on. Yes the switch was a good choice for me
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] uicnren:
Interesting. Just dropped my P7P off at ubreakifix for same issue. they told me they have been seeing lots of this. also happened to order an S23U right after. I will still keep the P7P for my daily though, assuming it stays functioning.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deleted member 3193942:
Not really switching as I'm doing like others here have mentioned. I have a green S23 Ultra due to arrive sometime early this week (whenever UPS updates the "label created" status. Should be a fun phone.

Nothing wrong with my Pixel 7 Pro. Probably the one of these least problematic phones I've owned and ranks up there with the Pixel 2xl and the Nexus 5 as my fav Google phones.

Anyhow, I'm using the P7P to have fun with Android 14 DP and betas. Will swap back and forth between it and the S23 Ultra until I swap the P7P for the Pixel Fold or P8P.

Though the Ultra will be the primary, nothing was wrong with the Pixel 7 Pro. I just like have the latest and greatest.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
It's gotta be a motherboard or power delivery issue that's shorting the display and slowly killing it because I baby my phones and yet I'm not too sure my screen is going to last until Friday and I just got it like 2 weeks ago. They replaced my first one with a second one and it started acting up two days later. Replaced that one and it's lasted a few weeks but uhh... how many replacements am I going to have to get? Google doesn't have a lemon policy where they say they'll replace the device after so many fails at repairing it but uBreakiFix is going to object for sure because the second screen they replaced was with their own warranty for the repair, not Google footing the bill, as they assumed they just gave me a bad screen and it took me two days to notice.

If you check this thread, you and I are far from alone.

https://xdaforums.com/t/well-thats-fun-my-screen-is-defective.4539675/
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] uicnren:
well he did say he was seeing it a lot. I kind of doubted him, but not so sure now. Im not in a large metro area and pixels arent very popular so if its in large numbers its pretty bad. I went rounds with them trying to get the to just replace the phone as they had done for me in the past, though to be honest I have rarely had any problem, but they were having none of it this time. mine was acting up, lasted about a week when I first noticed and contacted google, then yesterday it went kaput, and took it in. They didnt have a screen, but should be done by tuesday. well see how long it lasts I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Probably the displays. Since implementation of variable refresh rate displays the failure rate seems to have escalated across the board.

Maybe badly coded firmware blowing out drivers in your case. Maybe a design or manufacturing flaw or a hot spot in the phone burning out the drivers. Google should owe up to it instead of whistling through their graveyard.

This is one of the reasons I didn't upgrade from the N10+. I also leave the firmware alone as it runs flawlessly as is. Well over 8k hours on this display, still perfect.

Lots of issues with the Samsung variable refresh rate displays on all their latter flagship models. Also a fair amount of display issues on their early fixed rate AMOLEDs. Whether they are user, hardware, firmware or induced by a combination of factors is unknown. As is the mean display lifetimes of various models. Display roulette😖

It should also be noted that OLEDs and AMOLEDs displays are completely incompatible with water. How well the OLEDs are or aren't encapsulated effects their lifespan and failure rate. Keep phones away from water and avoid water exposure regardless of the ip rating. High G loading from impacts or direct impacts can damage them; always use a good case. Battery swelling from a failure is another way they can be damaged. Overheating from direct sunlight exposure.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
I've had no issues with any other OLED panel going all the way back to my S-AMOLED Samsung Captivate (first generation Galaxy S for AT&T). That means... Captivate, S3, S4, Note5, iPhone 12 Pro Max, Pixel 3 XL, OnePlus 9... Probably missing one or two in there. I turn off variable refresh because it annoys me so that theoretically should make my display less prone to failure but here we are. I mean the Pixel came out in October... Those other devices were kept a year give or take (12 Pro Max was two years old before I traded it for the Pixel 7 Pro).

I've never even had OLED burn in because I don't use auto brightness, I manually adjust. I take pretty good care of my phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
OP seems to have a good display track record. iPhones I don't really track at all. I track Samsung's now as a matter of morbid curiosity as their flagships continue disappoint me. The N9 was ok but under powered. Samsung has always been hit or miss. Expandable storage would at least show up after being skipped for one generation. I always blew off models without it for the last 7 years... that will not change. As far as tech support Samsung's is poor. A true pain to deal with.

I have 2 N10+'S, my first AMOLED displays, zero issues. I always use manual brightness control and rarely go beyond 50% and then measured in seconds rather then minutes. Always use dark mode as well with no status bar icons.

Some user's insist on running brightness at or near 100% even indoors. Some don't use cases or use ones with inadequate protection.

What could go wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Nettwerk:
I love Samsung S22/23 Ultra design. By far most beautiful phone design. But I'd say Google Pixel 7/7 Pro is so damn beautiful and original. Something different from other devices. If you put on the desk with iPhone, Samsung it will looks amazing. I'm happy with Google Pixel 7 Pro and it just works. Yes some will say performance isn't good as Samsung, iPhone or other. I don't care about it, but I really enjoy Pixel features. Samsung has best spam call blocking (Hiya), but Screen call is so well done I use most every time if unknown number calling. Did anyone looked how much system takes of storage out of the box. Interesting 65Gb. It is too much. Google use about 16Gb. Not the best but 4 times less. After all I'm too old for switching devices every year or more then once per year. So I'll use Pixel 7 Pro two or three years.
