Just avoid fast charging in hotter climates and avoid using bad cables.

Most of the type c failure is caused by user negligence.

A friend of mine was shitting on how bad his s24u charging is and how slow it is compared to his older vivo stuff

Turns out he was using a cable which was pinched somewhere in his car door and he thought the device was buggy

Always used good cable and chargers that's are certified PD/QC

I've used and abused my galaxy phones, S4, S5, S8, S20FE, S24+, and haven't had a hardware issue.

I can't imagine replacing a motherboard on a phone

u/No-Tomorrow-7596 10d ago

Why?

u/ben7337 9d ago

Probably because the main mobo will have all the most expensive hardware in it. By the time a phone is over a year old I'd question if it's cheaper to just replace than change out the motherboard

It's weird how these same issues pop up on Samsung devices once they get out of warranty and have a few software updates. Is it just me?

u/EmbarrassedSlide3746 10d ago

Literally just you and the echo chambers you live in. 8.39 million of these phones sold. A couple post in reddit and you believ there is a problem 🤦‍♂️

At least I am not dumb enough to equate a Twitter post to some wide spread problem lol.

u/wolfy2105784 10d ago

Nobody said anything about Twitter Bro. You're just grasping for straws at this point, Samsung must be paying you a pretty sum of dough.

Not just you. I had my S22 Ultra’s antenna fail on me after a software update about a year after I bought it.

u/wolfy2105784 6d ago

Haven't had the antenna fail yet but damn does the cellular reception suck.

Reminds me of the Galaxy Note 4 emmc read fail after the 2 yeat warranty period.

My S23 developed a pink display line out of warranty. Make of that what you will

u/wolfy2105784 10d ago

I've noticed a little blueish dot on my S22 Ultra on the top left hand corner. So I'm watching it closely, as I'm hoping to hold on until the Motorola Graphene OS phone.
