A Month With The Ultra

[Triplebbb]

Hmm, don't know how I missed this.

Interesting points Olbriar... Haven't run into these issues, but haven't really used Bluetooth, well, for anything. In the car periodically, but haven't driven much either, lol.

Still totally in love with this phone.

My only complaint is the Voicemail app. It is the most horrible and unresponsive thing in the world. An entire VM plays (once it finally opens) before it registers I have hit the speaker button. Then takes 5 tries to register the delete button. Total garbage, VM service is Verizon, but this is a samsung app on phone. My pixel had voicemail baked into the phone app and worked perfectly, this does not, lol

I'm having these problems too. Verizon S21 using Verizons VM app. Not just the speaker phone problem but if a VM is playing it will not let me hit delete, it just will not register until after the VM is done playing. Which another thing happening is when a VM is done playing it bumps me back out to the main screen instead of staying on that message. I've noticed in general my screen doesn't register touches at times. Well actually it will show the animation of me touching an app but the app will not open. This can happen sometimes 3-4times in a row.

S21 Ultra was a non-starter for me, mainly because of no micro-SD slot. So I went with a Note20 Ultra instead. And so far, no problems at all. It's living up to all of my expectations.

Though I don't need a lot of storage, I opted for the S21 with the largest internal storage. It was a fear driven decision. I do not foresee ever utilizing that extra storage but I have it just in case.

Interesting. It's literally every single time I have all those same issues. Drives me batty.

I'll have to check the next time I have voice mail but I don't remember having any problems deleting a message before it's over. I know the app does not kick me out once played. I simply delete the message and move on. Same app and same behavior on my past Note and S8. No problems.
I did encounter the screen sensitivity problem when I first got the phone. Once I figured out that a quick touch instead of a whole finger press was the fix I've not had a problem. I was used to fat fingering a shortcut when a tap was sufficient.

I've had the Ultra for three weeks now and extremely happy with it. I'm a professional Wildlife/Nature photographer for the State of WA and finding myself using the Ultra for landscapes more than my heavy Nikon. Here is some shots I got while at Cancun Mexico two weeks ago. It handled very tricky extreme lighting very well.

You cleverly caught a tree frog climbing the clouds in the last two pics. And it's world frog day to boot, look at you go!
