I have the S25 Ultra.
I didn't need to upgrade but I did anyway.

GB6:
How do you upload geekbench results (and 3Dmark ones) to your accounts? Neither geekbench nor 3Dmark mobile are giving me the options to log in.
I think I might be the only person on the web who admits to liking Samsung's software. Even if they add a lot of useless features most of them can be disabled, removed or ignored.
Im with you on that, but I think for me it's mostly familiarity. I am leaning heavily on the search function to find settings though.
Also I have to say I like the rounded corners.
I think the design bit that I'm most not keen on is the camera rings. I'm worried that when I have a skin in the phone rather than a case I'll end up catching it in my pocket and pulling one off!

For GB, I am logged in on their website. Then when I view a benchmark result online it automatically adds it to my account.

You're welcome! I had read this tip way back when I got my S22 Ultra and I'm so pleased with how it saved the battery. And the bonus of having the routine is fast charging is automatically on by default during the day just in case I need it. But I can't remember ever needing it except a couple times when traveling overseas or if I forgot to put it on the charger at night.
I was really amazed by how easy it was to set this up in the S25U...

I suspect that it's something to do with my Firefox privacy settings then!

On a similar note this phones 3Dmark scores are ridiculous!

So a quick one UI 7 question.

On my old phone there was an option to change the navigation bar buttons to gestures where you just swiped up where the buttons used to be for those effects.
On the S25 it's the on screen buttons or a weird 'swipe up in the middle and fumble about' thing. Any way of getting the old gestures?

Settings > Display > Navigation bar and selecting "Swipe gestures"

I wanted the old version where its basically the same as the buttons but they are hidden and you swipe up where they were.

Good lock to the rescue! You open navstar>enable extra gesture settings then got back to the Settings > Display > Navigation bar and you can get the old style ones!

So Gemini (which is the default assistant) can't set alarms!
Fortunately you can switch to the old Google assistant that still can. Finding the option for it was a bit like that bit in hitchhikers guide where he's told where the planning permissions for the new bypass are!

Anyone tried any magsafe accessories on these?
I've got a magsafe case from spigen and was thinking about an Anker magsafe battery pack.

I'm about to pickup a cheap case, probably a bad idea off of AliExpress. 🤣 Seems like most cheap cases on Amazon start at around $9; I remember it used to be ~ $5 before the pandemic.

The last phone case I bought was an OtterBox over two years ago, and it's held up incredibly well. (actually too well because the OEM S21+ cases I bought have never been opened.)

I was going to say that spigen cases are nice quality and fairly cheap then I saw that they are a lot more expensive in the US than the UK!

Interesting, Spigen is based about 25 miles from me (they're south of Los Angeles).

I do use a Spigen Liquid Air case and swear by them.

16 bucks is cheap.


If you need the magfit this one is nice for 20:

Took your advice and snagged one to support a local company. Might be the most I've ever spent on a phone case lol.
