Wanted something the same size and have no need for latest model, picked up an S10e, looks like a US model SM-G970U1

Seems to work great for everything other than indoor reception. Service in and around my house isn't great, never tested before having issues with the S10e, but the S7 shows -109dBm for both LTE an GSM, S10e -132 dBm LTE and no GSM. I cheaped out and went belong... no VoLTE, no wifi...

Been waiting for a while for this, I played ingress for a while but i'm a massive pokemon fan so this is as close to having pokemon as i can get. Although i'm not too ecstatic that you cant battle other people, this is at least a start.

At work i have picked up a bulbasaur and a caterpie right in the shop. I think its going to be very interesting to see how it goes.

Anyone else going to have a go?]]> 4560 Xiaomi’s new wireless phone charging technology Tue, 02 Feb 2021 00:04:16 +0000 https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/xiaomis-new-wireless-phone-charging-technology.1297247/ https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/xiaomis-new-wireless-phone-charging-technology.1297247/ invalid@example.com (MR CHILLED) MR CHILLED

Despite having an internode nbn50 plan, my download speeds are often very poor.

Unfortunately, even when fast.com shows i should have enough bandwidth, my optus sport just unbearably buffers --- and i grew up with low quality videos so can handle it better than most! Just a few seconds of buffering, a few seconds of playing optus sport. Even when i put video quality to low (which is something like 360KBps)... and fast.com shows 6Mbps download speed.

This phone is a work pool phone and our IT department basically said it is bricked but I can't give up just yet.

One of our support guys has set a pin code and none of them want to own up to doing it and now it is locked.

I have tried the hold power + Volume Up, I can get to the reset menu but it still asks for the passcode.

Is there any way to un-brick this phone?]]> 9 Contacts and txts from samsung s7 to Iphone 11 Fri, 23 Oct 2020 07:10:36 +0000 https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/contacts-and-txts-from-samsung-s7-to-iphone-11.1283650/ https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/contacts-and-txts-from-samsung-s7-to-iphone-11.1283650/ invalid@example.com (sjaeger172004) sjaeger172004
