How long do USB cables and Lightning cables last in your experience?

USB cables in my experience last 1-2 years easily, but lightning cables break or get faulty occasionally, like every 3-6 months maximum.

USB Cables

• 1-3 months
• 3-6 months
• 6-9 months
• 9-12 months
• 12-15 months
• 15-18 months
• 18-24 months
• 24+ months

I already use ball point pen spring on lightning cables and my earphones, and they seemed to have helped somehow.

Now I plan to get 6 feet length cables, with some more durable connectors. Saw a few online.

I think my family plays tug of war with those lightning cables behind my back!

(Voting) Do you keep your phones silent at night or not?

• Calls and notifications both are not on silent.

Currently using rapid series 3 in one cable (baseus) ; micro USB, USB c, Apple. Till now good experience. I don't think u need a spring or wire for this kind of cable as it has reinforced wiring. Bought it from ur "favourite" daraz in ≈700/. I think u can also find good quality product from ANKER or AUKEY.

Battery timings of mate 9 with heavy use and wifi/lte on all the time. It would hav touched 9 hours easy if i had played songs via handsfree not the speakers lol. Overall impressed by the phone, real nice build as i hav a mate 8 at home so the only diffrnce was the back camera rest is same.

[s15]

Yes, I ordered more rapid series 3 in 1 baseus cables, type C, Lightning and micro usb. I have one which is working very good as of now, though it's less used overall . Super convenient, as all in one solution and it's about 3.9-4.0 feet long, slightly longer than standard 3.0-3.3 feet cables.

An example of perfectly applied glass protector on Samsung curved screens.

Between red and green, there is about 2 mm gap on all sides (especially on curved sides), which is further occupied by the phone case.

If there is no such gap on all sides, the case will keep touching the protector edges repeatedly and eventually protector will come off.

This simple thing is so underrated that majority of people have to replace glasses protectors multiple times, wasting a lot of money and time.

There is another simple way to not waste alot of money on protectors that is not to buy a phone which has edge displays 🤣

Using Baesus Glass protector alongwith Baesus thin tissue back cover.... Going great so far on curved Note 8 screen

[Spano]

whats the price of used Note 8 in good condition

secondly, how is the battery of note 8 in terms of service

[s15]

~75-80k. From slightly used to box open 10/10.

Around 6 hours of SOT with 16-24 hours of charge in moderate usage with mixed WIFI/LTE (no gaming or heavy camera usage). So no issues about battery timings.

While getting in used, please ensure that all accessories are also original especially AKG earphones (worth $99).

Nokia 8 is now available.

Thanks,
It started working out of no where ... I guess some settings related to data restriction which I changed and it worked ... back to normal now ..
Planning to buy Redmi Note 4 / Mi A1 which one will be good?

[crossfirex]

Bro the only edga that Mi A1 has over Note 4 is camera
Rest buying a Xiaomi mobile without MIUI is buying Mercedes with Mehran engine ( I Know there Will be many people against this)
I have personality used Nexus 4 and 5x and currently having Nexus 5x as well I addition to Redmi Note 4 and stock Android is too boring compared to Beautiful and useful MIUI
