S24 Series Issues After One UI 8.5 (Important)

Okay, so before you say "let it settle," it's been 3 days, the phone's settled, all the data gathering is done, battery's stable, everything's set. Now let's talk issues. Let me know if you guys have the same problems listed below or if you found any fixes.

The quick panel lag is so much worse now, it's crazy! Before, with One UI 8, it was manageable if you just turned off the RAM Plus feature, but now it's terrible. The quick panel lags when you swipe left for notifications, I mean, the whole quick panel UI is totally messed up. It feels like i'm using a 2-300$ phone.

The UI isn't consistent across apps; some are polished, others aren't. For example, the clock app has a weird background, and the caller app's grey background isn't AMOLED, so it looks messy. I turned off the "now brief" feature because it's useless, but Samsung keeps forcing me to turn it back on by giving me a "now bar" that asks me to enable it. I really don't want it, so just stop it already! Also the battery pill wtf is that man greyish shyt thing i mean it was better before why u change it.

So, the next big thing is connectivity, my Wi-Fi is good, but what's up with the cellular data? It's really bad, Samsung needs to fix it ASAP. Some apps work fine, others buffer, it's so inconsistent. I'm on LTE, not 5G, I don't need 5G, it drains the battery like crazy.

The battery's good, like with the April patch, and it works fine on Wi-Fi. But with cellular, it feels like it drains more than before. On Wi-Fi, I get around 7-8 hours of screen-on time, and with cellular, it's more than 5 hours with normal use.

The system UI and One UI home optimization is a big problem; I used to get 8-9 hours of SOT, but now it's less, so it needs fix too. I mean dude these 2 are draining more power than the AOD like what why?

Sometimes the animations feel a bit stuttery, not the quick panel, that's a whole different story. I'm talking about the regular back and closing animations, even call animations, they just seem to be missing something, like the search button on the app drawer, there's no animation there at all.

Scrolling feels laggy now, Play Store scroll feels laggy, X scroll feels laggy, Spotify scroll lag, Reddit and Insta are good. X has a fix, turn off auto video playback in settings. All apps in settings feel laggy, like the refresh rate changed from 120 to 60Hz.

I have a fix for the animations though: switch off the phone after the update, then turn it on after a minute. The animations get pretty good, I'd say, but still need some polishing.

Ram management had gotten a bit better after the switch off thing.

No heating issue right now, it just suddenly getting hot after the update without doing anything major, probably because of all the data gathering. Gaming heat management also better now, it doesn't get as hot as it used to, which is an improvement.

All the AI stuff and new features are cool, but Samsung totally ripped us off by not putting the scan feature right in the camera app. It was so handy and needed, why'd you do that, Samsung? I mean, the lag isn't even fixed, so why bother taking out the scan feature from the camera app in the name of hardware boundaries? It was there in the beta versions. There's a workaround for that feature from the notes app but it includes a lot of steps.

The May security patch update is pending. I hope we'll get fixes for the cellular connectivity issue and animation fixes. Maybe the quick panel lag will get fixed somewhat, at least like before. I'm not saying to fix it properly before One UI 9.

Those are all the issues I've faced and some of the fixes. Let me know if there are more issues I haven't noticed yet and if you have any fixes for those.

I just checked the scan feature on my s24, and it's not there.

Samsung held back the simple scan feature on the camera in the S24, so yeah, the S24 is getting outdated now. As far as i know s24 had that feature on beta 8.5 but not the final build.

Okay update arrived 8.5 now wait for 9. BTW 4.4gb update.

I hope Samsung adds some blurry effects to the one ui 9, and gives us more long clock options on the lock screen, like iOS, and depth effects too.

I almost fixed the quick panel lag on one ui.

So, I've got an S24 base model, Snapdragon version, and I tried using RAM Plus for two weeks, then turned it off for two weeks. What I noticed is that the quick panel lag I used to get with RAM Plus was terrible, like, really bad – everyone seems to have that if you use it for a bit or pull it down in landscape or portrait mode. But after turning RAM Plus off, I noticed that if I stick to the same format, say portrait (since most people use that more than landscape), the lag is way less than before. Yeah, after you change the dimensions, it's still there, but not that terrible lag from before; it's much less and manageable now. I feel like this amount of lag is okay. But when you use it in the same format for a long time, like in portrait, there's no lag. I think everyone should try it; it's just my observation, and I feel like it works.
