Did the S23 line get the random reboots sorted? I last read it was a systems app crashing that could just be deleted off the phone. What about the storage being consumed by OS earmarking/inflation?

Mine stopped rebooting after I uninstalled currents (which I think came pre-installed), but someone in this thread said it shouldn't have done anything so

Currents is not pre-installed on anything. If you had currents installed, you did it by using it at one point and restoring apps.

I won't disagree with any of your points about Good Lock. The name is weird and the modules are bizarrely organized and named. I don't mind that it's in a different app, because they don't want to overload the average user with a bunch of poo poo they don't need or want but drat I wish it was just one app and all the redundant modules were put together

Pixel 7 Pro 19GB OnePlus 11 20.6GB S22 Ultra 38.19GB S23 Ultra 82.61GB Even if the S22 Ultra was somehow showing GiB and the S23Ultra was showing GB, that's still more than double the increase in system size.

apparently samsung scales how much storage they reserve based on the total capacityquote:Hence, a 512GB Samsung Galaxy S23 phone actually reserves 55.2GB for the system. Similarly, a 128GB model reserves 26.09GB for the system. i assume based on that your S23U is the 1TB model?

that's an odd discrepancy between the S23 512 and the S23U 512 then

The odd discrepancy is Samsung. I'm using 3gb more total storage on the S23 Ultra then my Pixel 7 Pro that I've been using for 6 months that has 18gb of pinned music and podcasts and 5gb of photos and video on it (along with all other accumulated app cache). Edit: Ok, I can account for the EXTRA inflated size compared to the 512gb S23 model because I hadn't granted storage rights to the files app yet so it lumped installed apps in with system. After I granted that, it's JUST taking 56.45 gb. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Mar 2, 2023 |

I've seen it get stuck (probably after some background app update) but removing it and putting it back usually fixes it. Otherwise it updates hourly for me

Saw my work colleague's S23 in the flesh and, sweet baby Jesus, it is one delicious phone. It has that frosted glass back finish that the Pixel 3 had and feels great in the hand. If the Pixelate doesn't drastically improve the battery life compared with my 7, I may have to sadly leave the Pixel Warriors.

If there's no 8 mini I too will join the ranks of the Samsungites. Big phones are a blight on society.

The P7 seems to be going for $400 on Swappa so after you're done with the service you can basically get your money back. The Pixel is such a good phone though.

Or to be extra sure all your traffic is going over WiFi? hooah posted:Hmm, then why did my phone drop a call when I lost signal? I have wifi calling turned on on the phone (Pixel 7) and enabled for my carrier (Mint Mobile). I've found the handoff works better when I start a call on WiFi and then go out of range of the AP. My calls usually continue with barely a blip in audio over the cell network. Going the other way from a cell call handing off to WiFi doesn't seem to work as well, if at all, in my experiences with both T-Mobile and Verizon.

Yeah the TV takes 20 seconds to start rather than whatever it was before, but all the weird software glitches went away. (QS+ suspends apps rather than a fresh boot, and I guess there are memory leaks in them.)

They are showing you as having a total of 512 GB of storage available instead of showing 476 GB like you would see on a desktop PC. If you subtract away that fake stuff you get around 17-20GB OS size. Still a few GB larger larger than a Pixel, but not obscenely so. Or have Android phone file systems been changed to use GB values? Or does Samsung just throw a whole entire 512 GiB of flash into their phones?
