I had the S8, which had more features, longer lasting battery, etc. Included was a charger, headphones, etc. In my opinion, the S24 has to be almost if not the worst phone I ever purchased (about $1,000.00).

Yeah, mines great as well! This is what mine looks like

Mine as well! The basic version is fine with me, but when I get a chance to re-up, I am going with the S24 Ultra. I didn't think I would need as much storage, but I have found since I have been using Android there are so many great apps for free that I can use that I could certainly use the extra space. For the mean time I am conservative on downloading new apps, but I still enjoy trying them out for a bit and dumping them when I get tired of them or just don't use them. I just haft to not fall in love with any extra stuff and use the option to dump or deep sleep non use apps Have a Happy New Year @

I have the S24 and it does what it needs to do. Coming from a budget phone wanted to try a flagship phone and wanted to try Samsung I am not all that impressed for what the phone costed. It is a good phone and I like the smaller size compared to the last phone I had but the battery is terrible. I think I would have been more than satisfied with a midrange phone from Samsung. Hoping to get 5 to 6 years out of it but don't see the battery making it that long.

I can understand that you are having a bad experience with battery life, but you do have options that deal with those issues. I have BATTERY SAVING on, and BATTERY PROTECTION on BASIC. I suggest the MAXIMUM on BATTERY PROTECTION. As long as you use the quick charger on 120VAC this should work, but I am 90% of the time close to a wall plug and pretty much use my phone quite a bit and sometimes I even forget to plug it in soon enough and it shuts down until I plug it in for a bit. I am definitely a fan of the quick charging! I hope you have a Happy New Year! 😊

Have battery protection set the same, to basic. Tried other settings with battery protection and battery saver it made no difference. I don't believe short charging by setting battery protection to maximum, it already doesn't last that long why would cheat myself of 20% battery. I did research on charging at 40% and only charging to 80% and from what I read it these batteries have an x amount of charge cycles and by this type of charging you gain a handful of charges charging that many more times. That makes no sense.

Here is a tip for you if you are running your phone dead, set up a notification in modes and routines to give you a notification when it hits 20%, or whatever level you desire. I also have one set up to tell me to unplug at 100%. My last phone that costed a fourth of this phone had this feature built in, I got an audible vibration and sound telling me to charge at 15%, but this phone I actually had to set a routine that does that. I even contacted support and they even thought this phone was supposed to have that notification but the person I talked couldn't figure it out and then said it may be a feature of the Ultra. 

Another quirky thing is I need a separate voicemail app, I even downloaded Google phone dialer since that is what I used on my last phone, nope, no dice, shouldn't need two apps for phone service. 

Don't get me wrong it is a good phone but it seems like I took a step backwards on a few things that worked great on my old Motorola phone. Samsung needs to step it up on the flagship phones, or their phones in general. From what I have read it seems like they are trying to copy iPhone so why not copy some features from Motorola, like rock to open camera, chop for flashlight were cool features, I miss those two features.
