I've just learnt to use everything on the phone all the time and just top off the battery periodically during the day when I'm not using it. Helps that I am not on the road, and mostly indoors with access to a charger everywhere

Rightly said, comrade! What's the point of having a device where you disable 90% of the features to save battery?! If you are travelling or going to be on-road for a long time without access to a charger, then it makes sense to turn off these cosmetic features. You could create bixby routines to help you with that...Bixby routines are excellent, you should befriend them.

You can still get the battery replaced tho, I don't think that the cost will be that high for you are getting afterwards

In case anyone interested, I just checked Google Play system update and it got September update (was on July update I think till now even with CVIF

I would not recommend updating google play system to september because I got the update yesterday and today my phone froze and restarted.
I'm not 100% sure that the update is the issue, but that was the latest change on my phone. Before everything was fine for months.
I sent the report on samsung members right after the restart.

Here updated to September version too, many days ago, and no problems at all. I think the culprit is not the Google Play system.

heeeeelp i bricked my phone trying to downgrade from one ui5 beta and now i bricked the phone,i tried everything what i need to do

Not enough information George.

Exactly what did you do? what did you flash and what is the status of the phone right now? What level of 'brick' are you stuck at? Does it bootloop, does it turn on or charge at least? Can your PC detect it? Can you go into download mode or recovery?

C'mon man, you have to provide more info if you expect help from people on the internet who cannot read your mind.

it's likely your battery health could have diminished...but overall, it's as expected

Patched Odin 3.13.1

For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...
