    Galaxy A54 5G with the 5.1 update, same as yours. The new update 6.1 should be installed on the 29th, for the A54, I've read good things about the 6.1 updates though. Are you in the US as well?

    Ahh cool, glad you got one! I've been reading more about the esim on Android Police or Android Authority about the esim and A54, it appears the A54 models are esim compatible, how to tell I'm not sure though. I'll try to find the article and link it it to you.

    Great read! Excellent choice of a project car! My cousin had a 68 Super Bee, 383 Magnum, 727 Torqueflite Trans, Tan with Black stripes, man I loved that car.

    I understand what you're saying! And you know that the phone carrier company has all that warranty information in a saved log somewhere, I use to work for a cell phone company in Scottsdale. I got my phone direct from Samsung, so they have to live with me as well. But yes unlocked is the only way to go anymore.

    You're not the first person I've heard or read this about the A series phone, but I've never experienced any of the issues you're talking about though. So sorry you had them issues!

    Yes I am very much like you on my sleeping habits "all hours" and preferably live performances. I honestly caught this race by pure luck, I was flipping through the channels and caught it! And yes it was on CBS (and for most all the open wheel cars.) I did get to see Michael Andretti as I said, but man I didn't even recognize him at first how he's changed and aged, it was incredible. And yes I'll definitely plan to look more closely on YT for the F1Ae races and CBS.
    For me it's just normally USA TV for my NASCAR related races, sometimes ARCA Races (mostly Flo Racing for ARCA though.)

    IMO, I'm partial to Samsung and got my A54 in January. I love it so far, works smoothly and updates are easy-going. Battery life is great, but be warned...the first week is usage training time...

    IMO, I'm partial to Samsung and got my A54 in January. I love it so far, works smoothly and updates are easy-going. Battery life is great, but be warned...the first week is usage training time then it calms down to great battery life time. The display is great! Interfaces well with my other Samsung phone A14, Tab A8 and TV.

    I got to catch the race this past Sunday, first time seeing F1Ae. Was interesting to say the least. Not hearing to roar of the engine and the whine of the electric power engine/engineering was quite different than I expected. But I did enjoy the race and got to see Michael Andretti in the garage area/pit area with the other team members talking about different strategies for the car after the front wing got damaged. Hopefully I can get more coverage here from the TV networks and F1Ae series?

    Yeah, I saw that, it seems as though Bubba near the end of the race is like a huge electronic magnet, but yes lots of drafting, sling shot passing and one massive cluster of mangled metal known as "The BIG one." But all in all a great race.

    Oh yes, we have a ton of Packer Backers and Bears fans here in AZ, Bears Bar in Tempe, (I've been there 4 times) and used to be a Packer bar somewhere here in Central Phx. one of the Phoenix Suns players owned it back in the days.

    Yes been through Waukon 3-4 times when I lived in GB and Madison. There's an asphalt track up there that we raced at, I can't remember the name though, we raced there twice, 5/8's mile low banked track.

    Yes! And they're talking now about next year already! So far, Chi race got a 9.3 in the local TV ratings and NASCARS 3rd most watched race in the 75 years of NASCAR. Had to check my facts.

    I know what you mean about Viking, Packer fans, my older brother was a Viking fan and my cousin was a Packer backer! Where in IA? Dubuque for me. I've been to Chi many times for Bear and Cub games. I moved here to Phoenix when I was 21, 66 now. Last words my parents heard was "you don't need to shovel sunshine" as I pulled outta driveway on my 1550 miles to Phoenix, have been back 1 time in them 45 yrs.. I do miss it, but not enough to move back.
