What are /r/S21Ultra's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

There are apps on the play store that can tell you if you broke water resistance. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.waterresistancetester

Also, the Samsung members app can do a hardware check of the Microphones to make sure they are working.

I've been using the INIU 100W 2-Pack Fast Charging PD 5A since I got the phone and it works great. I tried many different brands and types of cables and so far this one charges the fastest. It says 0 - 80% in 35 minutes which I find true. 80% - 100% is slightly slower so I'd say from 0% - 100% it takes about an hour and 10 minutes. It's pretty versatile since it's PD and is 6.6 ft and up to 100 Watts so it'll be good for laptops too.

This is the link to what I'm using.

I grabbed this one for my Ultra and it's a great case. No issues with it touching the camera glass at all.

I've been using this. tedious install but it comes out perfect and you can register the protector for an extra protector from the company. so 3 total for 40$

It's not in the play store. It's an unofficial app but it's well trusted and reviews on XDA forums.

I've been using it for years without any issues.

Does take a bit longer to set up and log in, but once you do, you're set.

Most people seemed to have forgotten it but yeah. Using the camera is taxing on a way.

Even more so with the 108 MP mode activated, which isn't really needed for 90% of the subjects you'll shoot. Just use the normal 4:3. It'll be fine.

And the fingerprint sensor isn't perfect. It's true.

It works amazingly well for some people with compatible skin (like me :D) while not at all for others. Yes it is unfortunate but the bezelless craze and market mechanisms meant that Samsung had to go this way.

For the back gesture, you can use Good Lock / One Handed Operation to move the gesture area down. As it's supposed to be, Google! >_>

Also, the iPhone 12 isn't some miracle device that doesn't heat up. My dad has one and it also feels warm when used for a bit.

This is what I've been using for my s21 ultra. Highly recommend this as it feels more like an actual writing utensil than a note s pen.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HKCYHLP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_4PEG4HQJGSG589M0CQMS

I use a collapsible Amazon Basics tripod and a cheapo phone mount

The mount is a bit fiddly and I'm sure there's better ones out there but does the job. It clicks into the mount with a quick release mechanism.

Amazon link if anyone is interested.

My suggestion is to use One Handed Operation app from Samsung instead. It enables custom gestures. I personally have it set to turn off screen by swiping left and hold from the right edge.

This AmFilm works fantastic if you follow directions. No problems with fingerprint scanner.

I'm guessing you're not US since the US ultra's didn't seem to come with the screen protector

Hex Installer is like a theme compiler that works with the Galaxy Theme store to give you a bit more customization. I like the uniform round icon look and the AOSP plugin for Hex was able to do that for me on the default launcher.

Fair enough. I've also used this Caseology case and it's equally slim (only 0.16"). Maybe you've already came across this one but figured I'd share.

I don't have my S21 yet, but I have this adapter, and it works with my current Note 8. The only negative about it is that your device powers the adapter, and the screen stays on, so it will significantly drain your battery. I can watch a movie from my Note 8 with it, but it helps to start with a decent amount of charge, as well as turning the phone's screen brightness all the way down. There's another model adapter, also by Anker, that I saved to order later, that has a charging input, but of course I can't say whether it works yet. Anker 6-in-1 hub

I have this one. It's a clear case from TORRAS and it's pretty thin. If you don't like clear cases for the fingerprints, you can get Latercase's carbon fiber case. It's an amazing case. Hella thin.

Latercase https://latercase.com/products/galaxy-s21-ultra-thin-case

Just here to say, based on your curiosity, I'd highly recommend picking up on of these. It really makes it so much easier and more clear to see what's going on. Not that it would answer this specific question, but just takes a lot of the guess work out of the process.

Not if you get the correct one you can install it from the playstore I've been using it for ages and have noticed no changes this is the real one

Combine it with a 25w typeC samsung charger and you are ok. Extremely versatile cable and really well made

I downloaded it as a ttf file and then installed it using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htetznaing.zfont2 download the font first and then find it in the local section of the app. Follow the step by step in the app and away you go👍

This is what I use. There's a section called "health" that will give you the information you need.

Your battery will degrade over time leading it to have less capacity. My OnePlus 6T had a 3.700 mAh when it was new. Now 3.5 years later it's down to 2.942 mAh which is about a 20% loss of design capacity.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.zorillasoft.musicfolderplayer this one has a great equalizer and some effects like speed and pitch but I think not echo.

What I like about this player is that it keeps the music files in their folders and play following this structure, more or less like a music player in a car.

There is probably no fix unless Samsung restored API access (Snapdragon model never had the option). Download Camera API 2 Probe from the Playstore and see if front camera supports RAW Capture. If it doesn't, then it'll be like the Snapdragon models.

Buy a USB ammeter to measure the actual amps. That's what really counts. If you want to know the Watts delivered to your phone, just multiply the amps times the volts.

Best I've ever used. Still on the first cover after a year.

amFilm (2 Pack) Ultra Glass... https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08RYXF8F6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I am using this one and I dropped my phone like 3-4 times a week cause of my butter fingers. The smoothness is almost the same since I applied it. No issues with fingerprint sensor (have to redo the fingerprint register after installing). The other off brand screen protectors without UV glue are pretty bad in general.

You can use Iconzy to create an app shortcut with a custom label/name.

This is the app that I used to use custom icon packs prior to the GoodLock update that added support for icon packs.

Odd, as mine shows that it is up to date and is version 4.0.70

You can use pkpass in Android using an app like WalletPasses

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.walletpasses.android

I have used it for some time, but don't use it often.

Pass2Pay allows you to integrate pkpass into Google Pay. One Samsung all but eliminated the rewards for using their Pay, I switched to Google Pay.

It looks pretty bad on these renders, but i bougt it in person, it is amazing.

Just wipe on letting it sit for around 30min and reapply. I did 3 coats. Price for a small vile that supposedly covers up to 3 devices depending on how many coats you add. It was $15. Amazon link

I've been using this one for a few months and find it very reliable and worth the money

Screen protector saved my screen MANY times. Just upgraded to an S21U from an S7 I had since it was brand new on the market. Tech Armor was the brand I used for it and the S4 I had before it. I didn't like the look of what they had for the S21U so I went with this:

It has been AMAZING. I can see where people get it wrong, you have to watch the video and follow it very precisely but when you get it right it disappears. Clear as the original screen and oleophibic too.

No insurance and I use a leather wallet case, an upgrade from my S7 case with 3 card slots.

This guy in Black with the screen protector above it has me feeling confident about carrying a phone worth more than my car around in my pocket. The case and screen protector work well together and I can't even tell there's a screen protector, the space between the two where your finger would find the gap is less than 1/16".

I don't have to use increased touch sensitivity and I recently started using the fingerprint with no problems.

The smooth side of the magnetic flap on the case has been so much better than the 3 card slot laying on the screen all the time.

It's a bit bulkier than the last, but then again this phone is like twice the size anyway so adjusting hasn't been difficult.

Highly recommend both of these.

Screen protector comes with camera glass, and while you can't tell it's on there somehow it broke second day and I just haven't replaced it.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092388SSW/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I had originally just purchased the grey/white option because I like to party. I probably don't need to tell you but it's a 4 stripe adidas version of OtterBox. A few weeks back I sat my phone on top of my car like a McRetard. Not only did the incredible grip keep it attached at 55mph for over a mile but when it inevitably flew off it suffered minimal damage even after sitting in the wet grass for 6+ hours while I drove around frantic looking. No water damage, scratches or dings just some mild wear marks on the lip protecting the 87 cameras this monster has. I ended up buying the orange/grey model after that but decided to keep the original one because it looks tough. I'm sure most cases are dope but I thought this $13 Vin Diesel of a case deserved a shout-out. Also, fuck this new update.

Spigen makes a nice case that shows off the back and the carbon fiber camera housing. Ordered 7 cases and went with that one for the look and feel and buttons, still using it a year later!

I use the Mi 50W Hypersonic 20000 mAh powerbank.

It has one USB Type C port which delivers outputs up to 50W. You can use this port to charge your S21 Ultra. It charges it in the same time as the official Samsung 25W Super Fast charger.

It also has two USB A ports which deliver outputs up to 22.5W. If you use one of these ports to charge your S21 Ultra, it charges with the same speed as a Samsung 15W Fast Charger.

You can also enable low power mode to charge your Buds Pro safely.

It also charges supported Samsung devices like the Tab S7 Plus at 45W.

The powerbank has four LED lights that show you the amount of charge left in the powerbank.

The only challenge remains is if it is available in your country.

Hi I've been looking for the same screen protector as you are now and i went with This one . It's not really the same but it's close enough and the install is really easy. I've had mine a month now and it's still in good shape.

Something like this one

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ytheekshana.deviceinfo

And no restarting the phone is not the same as the method i mentioned above

Last resort, make use of your warranty. They promise this and that but the phone is not running normal.

Ah fellow exynos version owner

U might have a look at the Rhinoshield SolidSuit case for the S21ultra.

I own the fantastic looking carbon edition but they have tons of different collaborations in terms of prints

11 feet drop protection, they throw phones around all day in their videos

I know you won't take the effort to google this, so here is a direct link to a YouTube video presenting the case

https://youtu.be/lZtlPRe1kqE

Screen protector? Rhinoshield case offers about 2mm of raised edges for the screen and camera at the back.

Keep that stock samsung perfectly installed film protector on the phone as long as possible.

Tempered glass protectors are not good for that curved screen and the fingerprint sensor will fail to do his job most of the time ( the holy whitestone dome ones for 50€+ too)

I bought some film ones as reserve for dirt cheap

I use this with the Spigen Rough Armor case. No issues, in fact very impressed with it.

Check this app, it lets you see, if you want, all your connection settings, even the hidden ones, and with at&t, that's a lot. I found my Sim card turned off. Not sure what app or update did it but it works good now.

The only option I've seen for mounting it to the back is something like this: https://www.amazon.com/CloudValley-Galaxy-Holder-Leather-Hybrid/dp/B08ZLVTPC8/

Personally, I have the Supcase UB, mounts to the side. Mounting to back means you can't wireless charge, and you can put the phone flat on the table.

I have had this on my phone since April. It hasn't budged since. Highly recommend.

Got this one as a backup, still using the Samsung one.

No the S21+ G996U/U1 (or any US Galaxy S21 Variants) are not compatible on any 5G bands in the EU. I frequently travel between the US and the UK and wanted the SD version, but this forced me to buy the Exynos variant instead.

The Exynos is compatible with both European and US 5G bands. It doesn't pick up all US 5G bands but enough to get some 5G instead of nothing at all.

Whitestone Dome Glass

Official Website

Amazon Link

I recommend purchasing through Amazon as you get Amazon's 30-Day return policy compared to the 14 day return policy from the official site. It is on the expensive side, but it's one of the best screen protectors that is compatible with the fingerprint sensor. It comes in a two-pack so if you mess up putting the first one on you get another shot. It also has a "lifetime" warranty which means you can get a new replacement screen protector for free by mailing the old broken one back no questions asked. If you want something cheaper and you are more concerned with the screen getting scratched than you are about drop-protection then you should be able to get by with almost any plastic film protector. The installation of the Whitestone Dome Glass protector is honestly somewhat complicated (It uses a tray to dispense liquid between the screen and the protector then you have to cure it with a UV light to turn that liquid into a solid. I highly recommend watching an installation video first before you decide to purchase it so you know exactly what is involved (The instruction pamphlet is not as clear as it should be). Install aside, it's a great protector and I highly recommend it if you want puncture protection and a working fingerprint sensor.

They make glass ones now but I'm talking about the OG film ones. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Protector-Fingerprint-Compatible-Installation/dp/B08RYVXYWX/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=387JG5M3YOC8S&keywords=s21+ultra+am+film&qid=1638136315&sprefix=s21+ultra+am+film%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-5

I also use the LK protectors, easy to get on and last a good few months (I find most protectors need to be replaced around that time anyway. Smudge easily but easy to clean

I also use this case, nice and slim whilst very slightly raised. Whilst it's not the most durable I have dropped several times to date with no problems https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08QHZTJ14/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_dl_11HXYXFS8EQZPJ7B7ZDY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah you can't go wrong with this case. It's excellent.

I'm actually using a Ringke case right now and it's also brilliant. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08RZ9XJL1/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_R7CGZNXNCP1JC821X0HC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I got this adapter for using my S21U with my telescope. It works pretty well. I think it would probably work with binoculars too.

I also got this tripod adapter which works great with my tripod. It can do vertical and horizontal.

Ringke Onyx has little feet in the back that allow it to lay flat, is easy to take off and put on, and offers reasonable protection for its slim profile. It's textured and I find it very grippy. Highly recommend. https://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Onyx-Fingerprint-Comfortable-Shockproof/dp/B08RZB34H7

Is this the right one? case

You need Instander my friend: https://thedise.me/instander

Check out advanced options for higher resolution photos/videos, but no ads is what makes it a no brainer over the (very crappy) stock instagram app.

I've been using this one for a while now. I actually like it a lot and no longer have fingerprint issues on my camera lenses.

This might help. Though this is Amazon India Link - Riggear Xundd Back Cover Case for Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (Armor|PC and TPU|Black) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08ZYQTLK3/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_M7178DZWK2JWB2W8HWF1

So I used 2 things

First when i got the phone I had to go work from the office and trust me when I say I'm reckless the rickest Rick xD , anyway

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B08RYXF8F6/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used this one which was great and it covered the whole screen even the edge my issue was I always hit the corners of the offices mostly when my phone is in my pocket so for the 4 packs I got 4, 3 of them got shattered protecting my original phone screen it was great overall with fingerprint scanner no issues at all the pen was amazing on the glass no color changing or anything.

Keep in my mind they first was being sold around 25$ now it's about 60 $ they are still great but I find that they know they were selling something good They shouldn't have increased the price to be greedy like others.

Now since I'm working from home I switched to those jelly type of screens not really happy about it cause the pen doesn't feeling amazing on it it causes some resistance with it , tho it does have some other pros it can little hits don't count the big ones since I don't move much anymore I didn't have any major accidents it should do the work if you are more careful than me and don't use the pen tho if you relay on the pen this one will make you hate it.

Just applied my 2nd once since I just dropped my phone and chipped the first protector. I chose this one due to a better price, getting more protectors and it doesn't have a notch cut out for the camera. In a case it's extremely hard to notice I have a protector

Is the one that I use, very good quality, but you have to be very careful with installing it. Not that the installation is difficult. But you have to take your time.

I've used tech21 for a long time on all my notes and now on S21U. It's a wallet case so the cover definitely will protect the face and it clips on when closed or open.

Does wireless charging and wireless power share share though not good at holding much except a credit card.

The Spigen Tough Armor case checks all the boxes; very good protection, no issues with wireless charging, and has a kickstand. As to attractiveness, it's fairly unobtrusive but I can't say it really enhances the look of the phone.

Somewhat related: One thing I've found with the S21 Ultra is that the power button on the right is much more easy to actuate than the on the phone it replaced (Note 8). The Tough Armor case fixes that by making the button flush with the case edge, and it also requires a slightly firmer press. That's probably the most appreciated feature of this case for me.

That said, I'm replacing the Tough Armor with a Liquid Air S-Pen case because I've been missing the pen ...

I have a couple of S-Pens that I'd scavenged from the 2 Note 7s I had to return during that debacle, and I'd hoped to find a case that they would work with. I have a case that was ostensibly designed for just that, but the pen pocket is way too tight to be practical and it seemed to make the overly sensitive power button even more so.

I replaced that with a Spigen Tough Armor case that took care of the button issue (makes it flush with the case), but alas no way to carry the legacy S-Pen.

So I give up. I just ordered the Liquid Air P and the S21U S-Pen.

Damn you ... 🤣

No, definitely not that one.

Weird, it doesn't look like it's available on the Play Store. It *is* available on the Amazon App Store, though, and that's where I bought it. I got it a LONG time ago when it went on sale for like US$2, but it's listed at $10 now.

I'd absolutely pay $10 for it, though. It does EVERYTHING.

I think this is the best camera protection case for the S21U. Nillkin Galaxy S21 Ultra Case - CamShield Case with Slide Camera Cover, Slim Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 6.8 inch, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QZR6HTD/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_69ZBWXH5TYYBMWA4S6G3?psc=1
