Is there anyone else who thinks Samsung should allow us to schedule 'Watch Only' mode for overnight use?

I’d love to minimize battery drain to near 0% while I sleep. The ideal setup would be for the watch to automatically switch to a basic clock display—shutting down the full OS—at 11:00 PM, then reboot into smart mode by 7:00 AM.

I understand the technical limitation: because 'Watch Only' mode disables the main OS and background processes, there’s no active timer to initiate a reboot, which is why we have to wake it up manually or by placing it on a charger. However, integrating a low-level hardware RTC timer to trigger a scheduled boot would be a huge boost for battery longevity.

Currently, I combine Sleep Mode and Power Saving, which consumes about 5% to 10% battery overnight for tracking, but a truly scheduled transition to a 'dumb watch' state would be much better.

Would you find a feature like this useful, or do you prefer to keep health and sleep tracking active throughout the night?

I keep losing my Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. I would like to purchase 3 earbuds which have near or better quality than Buds 2 Pro but for under £25 per. Which ones should I buy?

It's pretty much Orcs Mus Die 3 but my nephew wants to play this.

Please my nephew wants to play it.

Don't let the shorts know; they will have to sit back and enjoy the show about to commence later this month.

This is highly bullish news because it indicates that the company has been selected as a preliminary addition to the Russell 3000 Index during the annual FTSE Russell Index reconstitution.

Being included in a major index like the Russell 3000 is a significant milestone for a stock for several key reasons:

1. Mandatory Institutional Buying (Inflows) The Russell 3000 Index is widely tracked by investment managers, mutual funds, and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) that passively replicate the index (such as the iShares Russell 3000 ETF). When a stock is officially added, these multi-billion-dollar passive index funds are contractually obligated to buy millions of shares of the stock to accurately match the index’s new holdings. This massive, guaranteed wave of institutional buying naturally creates strong upward pressure on the stock price.

2. Increased Market Liquidity and Volume Joining the index dramatically increases trading volume and liquidity. Higher trading volume attracts larger institutional players (like hedge funds and pension funds) who previously avoided the stock due to thin trading or high volatility. Greater liquidity also narrows the bid-ask spreads, making transactions cheaper and more stable for all investors.

3. Validation and Institutional Prestige Being selected for the Russell 3000 means the company meets rigorous criteria regarding market capitalization, structural standards, and trading compliance in the US equity market. It acts as a stamp of institutional legitimacy, lifting it out of obscurity and elevating its profile among mainstream Wall Street analysts and financial media.

​Hey everyone,

​I want to open a discussion on the real world thermal reality of modern MagSafe style power banks, specifically for those of us daily driving foldables.

​I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and I run the Samsung Qi2 Magnet Wireless Battery Pack.

The power bank is relatively light and keeps the combined weight of the Fold manageable, but it relies on a standard plastic casing and software throttling.

I am worried the plastic is just acting as a thermal blanket, slow cooking my phone's battery while the software chokes the charging speed down to a crawl to compensate for the heat. I heard it has smart software management to reduce the charging speed so this doesn't happen as much.

​I am looking at the newer thermal engineering trends and want to hear your long term experiences with these new technologies.

​The Material Science Approach (Baseus PicoGo AM52): Uses a graphene layer and an alloy shell to pull heat away from the phone.

Does this actually protect the battery over time, or does the power bank just become a blistering hot, heavy metal radiator in your hand?

​The Active Eradication Approach (Sharge ICEMAG series): Uses a literal 10,000 RPM turbine fan. Is physical airflow the absolute best way to preserve battery health, or do the mechanical vibration, fan whine, and sheer physical bulk make it a miserable daily carry when attached to an already heavy foldable?
