Not sure if it is like that because I'm in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I've had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.
U lazy. U more walk. U no get ads anymore. Samsung just discipline u.
I haven't seen that on my S10e; my carrier texts me about twice a year wanting me to upgrade because of course.
Hello fellow s10e enjoyer.
Perfectly cromulent phone; I don't want a new one, I want them to keep supporting this one.
Custom ROMs FTW... no, seriously, most samsung phones have support for at least some custom ROMs and GSIs so it might be worth it to take a look at the options available for your device
I have a OnePlus 9 pro and I love lineageos but the camera... The camera is just way better on stock :(
Quite sure this is going to be Korea thing
I just use adguard's DNS in my VPN on my phone.
Ugh I hate those ads. I had a OnePlus for a few years and forgot about all the bloat you get with a Samsung phone. Recently decided to go for a Samsung phone as the other options didn't seem much better. But now I keep getting ads from Google and Samsung in my notifications. I THINK I managed to disable some of it but it still keeps popping up once in a while.
Universal Android Debloater baby
Thanks for the tip! Checking it out right now. Does it also work if my mobile carrier isn't on the list?
Not justifying this in any way but the S9 hasn't received security updates in ages. It's the phone equivalent to still running Windows XP, it's a major security risk. You should upgrade to some newer phone. Personally I like the Pixels since you can run GrapheneOS which definitely doesn't have any ads and the newest models get updates for 7 years.
Hm ages seems to mean two years https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-march-2022-update-3134582/ but fair point.
I've been using the Galaxy A52s for a couple of years now. Never seen ads outside the Samsung apps. SEA region.
SEA? As in Seattle?
Even "the sea" would've been a better guess, haha.
South East Asia
I'm guessing south east Asia
Not everything is in the us my friend
Samsung peaked at the S7
The S8 is pretty nice, but only the Exynos variant. I hated the glass back, though. Shattered mine two times, one time the phone just fell 30 centimeters out of bed. Gorilla Glass only in the front was a deliberate decision by these bastards.
I thought the Exynos variant was the worst one.
It's the good one. As far as I know, Exynos phones are much faster than the Snapdragon variants. Custom ROMs like LineageOS are only available for Exynos phones, so those are the only ones still getting updates.
That's not what I've heard for Exynos. I heard exynos was too hot, too underpowered, and the snapdragon variant was better. Now I'm not here to debate, but is very interesting how we've heard two different sides to the story.
I used an Exynos S8 up to December of last year and it's still blazingly fast. And the consensus on xdaforums seems to be that the Qualcomm variant from the US is terrible. :) Weird, but maybe I'm wrong and I just got used to a slow device. I mean, I had a Sony Xperia XA2 before and that thing was so slow, everything else felt like The Flash. :D
I believe all phones are fast enough for our usage (at least in the beginning), but I'm not here to disagree. There have been some instances where the Snapdragon variants have been awful (the 810/808 come to mind), but I've heard more stuff about the exynos than I have the snapdragon. Just searching about "exynos worse than snapdragon," autocomplete in my web search had an option to change it to "why is exynos so bad." Although it is about the experience more than the reports online, and I'm not disagreeing with you as you've personally used the exynos chip(s).
And that's why you only buy phones where you can install a custom ROM, and then kick any poisonous bloatware and google shit off before starting to use it.
And that’s why you only buy phones where you can install a custom ROM
Info update request. What is the current/best/uptodate websites to go to in 2024 to see that list of devices?
Also to such a thing also exist for tablets?
Thanks in advance.
Edit2: I learned about GSI roms and DSU Sideloading is a thing https://github.com/VegaBobo/DSU-Sideloader
Yeah unfortunately that Custom ROM scene is dying out, I see that plenty of older phones are still supported (e.g. Galaxy Note 3, Samsung S5, kind of all Xiaomis) but newer phones are just a handful of models which its bootloader can be unlocked, and then some of these have support for Magisk and TWRP but sadly no custom ROMs.
Edit: still the ability to root these and unbloat them is better than nothing.
it's extremely ironic that pixels are some of the best phones for installing lineage on
