Just planning to upgrade to s25

The phone is in great condition looks brand new and I still have the box it came in

The battery health is at 98%, I don't know what other factors determine it's worth honestly so lmk I'm new to this😭

So Mine is 1.5 year old and its coming around like 4 hrs per day its crazy, are there any fix? I saw someone mentioned that to reset the phone.

Im at a point thinking abt switching to a refurb iphone 13 pro max, got to this decision due to poor SOT and i purchased a m5 mac pro recently

Would love to hear your thoughts

I recently got the S23 ultra and my wife got the base S24. All her music, calls, and videos play out loud. If I send her a message or she gets a notification, nothing at all, just a vibration. Is this common? Is there a fix?

So, i had my s21 from release and about 2 days ago I ended up dropping it... twice... once into a toilet ( rip ).

I've managed to get my data off of it, but it's not really usable anymore ( not becuase of age or software slowdown etc, just that battery puffed up swapping a very cheap replacement screen onto the s21 so I could get my data. and the camera island doesn't seal properly hence why the water was such a big deal ) and to be honest, I've been wanting a bit of an upgrade ( not why I dropped it i swear lol )

I traded some stuff in, and put it towards my new S24! So far I'm loving it, the flat edges are a little weird coming from the bevelled edge of the s21. But it's nice. And it's in great condition, it was grade B so I was expecting a bit of damage and the only thing I've found so far ( and after a really good look in store ) was a tiny bit ( less than 1mm² ) of paint / coating missing on the side

I ended up paying just £90 ( $120 ) when trading in my Nintendo switch and some old games so I'm really happy rn

I've just ordered myself a spigen armoured case for it as I had one back in the day on my HTC M9 and that thing is STILL in great condition to this day ( despite being my phone from release all through high-school and then some 👴 ) And upon searching, the spigen cases are still highly rated even for the s24, I only wish we got the mag safe equivalent version on the base s24 instead of it being exclusive to the s24 ultra

But yeah... Happy to be part of the s24 community!

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.

Since my S24+ had a cracked screen—nothing that really got in the way of using it, but I decided to replace it anyway—the main reason was that they charged me 60% of the phone’s value to replace the screen.

I decided to go with the S25+ instead of the S26+ (I don’t like the Ultra models), precisely because the S25+ line has the Snapdragon Elite in all devices and countries, while the S26+ has Exynos again (in Brazil).

And I wanted to make sure if all the hate for Exynos in the S line was real.

I’ve only had the device for a month, and the difference the Snapdragon has made is simply surreal. Basically, looking at the two devices, I’d say the only difference is the color, although reviews say the S25+ is lighter and thinner than the S24+, I can’t tell without putting them side by side and paying close attention.

But the battery life is night and day—the phone drains much more slowly with the screen off, and it heats up much less during use and even while charging, and that makes a huge difference because I live in a very hot part of the country.

So just to confirm from my experience: Yes, it’s a dirty trick by Samsung to use Snapdragon in the US and try to push Exynos in other countries, which seem to be poorer or perhaps less able to demand better options due to a lack of alternatives.

But it’s worth remembering that this might just be a major technological leap for the Snapdragon Elite.

I don't see anything fluid here. Updated yesterday, S24 Plus, Exynos. A tragedy for me. It's all about free, trimming, lag. The S23 on One and 8.0 goes like gold. I don't see any positive here, except for some cosmetics. Shame on Samsung and rather my farewell to it.

​Hi everyone,

​I need some help. I'm experiencing a massive issue with the charging speed on my Galaxy S24 Ultra. This problem started back with the April update: ever since then, my phone has been charging extremely slowly, taking about two hours for a full charge, even though it says "Super Fast Charging" on the screen.

​I had high hopes that the new One UI 8.5 update would finally fix this bug, but unfortunately, it is still happening. Nothing has changed at all.

​I've already checked my cables and reset the app preferences, but nothing works. Are there any other S24 Ultra users who have been dealing with this charging glitch since the April update and noticed that One UI 8.5 didn't fix it either? I'm getting really frustrated.

​Thanks for any insights!

Türkiyede güncelleme alan S24 kullanıcısı var mı ?

What is up with my phone , this is just unreal battery life

2-3 hours only.

I have tried everything reset, cache clear.

Note : I run a work profile of my firm

I keep it off mostly. Doesn't fix anything.

Please help

Is my device faulty?

I use S24 SD indian variant. Did my pending security patch updates and restarted phone. Soon after received one ui 8.5 stable update ( not a beta tester till now). After update, phone didn't proceed to home screen, it's looping in the galaxy AI screen even after clicking next many times.

Method tried to avert the loop:

1. Force restart - no use

2. Safe mode entry- no use

3. Starting without internet (gemini suggestion)- no use

Did not try recovery boot or other unknown methods.

Suggest a fix ASAP! (THIS IS MY PRIMARY PHONE).

Interesting part - i can activate gemini by voice command and open individual apps except SETTINGS app, which is what i want! It's not opening.

So I am very well aware that no body wants to see these battery screen shot including myself but just a quick glance and tell of this is okay for not

For some reason can't share ss but

Total is 20h and 28m now battery is at 8% i charged it to 100%

Screen on time is 5h 40m

Screen off time is 14 h 51m

I will add ss me comment if possible

So I've had the S24 Base(SD) since launch. Ive had basic battery protection on since I got this phone, however, only noticed that it worked maybe 20% of the time. Even after restarts, updates, and clearing cache partition, it never fully resolved the issue. Now after installing 8.5, its consistently working now. Has anyone had this issue, but now fully resolved after this update as well? It was only basic protection giving me issues, not maximum. So odd

Goo and download

I don't know why but samsung store is consuming extra battery.

If anybody knows anything to stop this please help.

Hi everyone! Recently I got a Samsung S24+ and I had enabled Battery Protection and set it to charge until 90%

My question is if it's normal when phone is charged and I unplug it from the charger to be at 89%, shouldn't be it at 90% as I set it?

I searched on the internet and everyone says it's normal but I wanted other opinions and to be sure! Thanks!

Are we getting this update today?

I'm getting sick checking my phone every hour.
