r/GalaxyS25Ultra

Bought this beast 2 weeks ago....As a former oneplus 9 series user its a huge upgrade in everything...

The 3rd party screen guard is shit though...50% of the time the fingerprint scanner doesn't work...Should I go and peel the guard off and continue to use it without....

Ditched the S26U just cause it's display has that bluish tint and also titanium of s25u is better in my opinion compared to s26 series...

Planning to use this for 5+ yrs....

According to the information, Majid was returning to his village, Dankaur, after visiting Ghaziabad when he noticed the phone becoming unusually hot. He said the device then started producing smoke. Before he could remove it from his pocket, it reportedly exploded suddenly.

The explosion caused severe burns to both of Majid’s hands and the lower part of his body. People nearby rushed to help him and took him to a nearby hospital. He is currently receiving medical treatment for his injuries.

Majid said he had purchased the Samsung phone around a month before the incident. He reportedly bought it from DG Com at The Grand Venice Mall in Greater Noida. According to him, the phone had been working normally before the accident.

How do you now explain this Samsung? Is it also because the owner dropped it on the ground? 🤣

Trying to get S25+ for 69900 INR and came across a exchange deal where my brother's old Redmi phone was given 12k INR and so total price difference between S25+ and S25U is only 11k INR which is around 120 USD, so I said why not. Purchased this phone!!!

Do you guys/girls have found any special use case for S-PEN usage?

Seeing this red dot kind of irritates me. How to disable this?

Since My Other Post Is Extremely Old And Dated I Thought I Would Repost It With Updated Guide And Solutions To Help Everyone Get The Best Performance Out Of Their Galaxy S25 Ultra

Lets Get Started!

the following is a list of every single thing you can safely remove using adb if you are unsure of how to use adb or if this is your first time please visit these two links https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation/releases/tag/v1.2.0 you will want to download the one listed windows.exe also visit https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools and click the windows sdk platform tools you will want to extract via windows or 7zip the platform tools and move the folder thats inside named just platform-tools to someplace you can easily access it such as the documents folder or the desktop inside this platform-tools folder take and put the uad-ng.exe or similarly named exe from earlier next plug your phone in to the computer if you dont have developer mode enabled enable it by going to settings about phone scroll down to build number and tap it several times until it says your x amount away from being a developer enter you phones pin to enable it then go into it and turn on enable usb debugging when usb is connected

once all that is setup (assuming your new or if your not new you simply just dont have it setup yet) you can review this list of safe to remove garbage and go through and click each one and remove it with the tool you just setup

ONLY REMOVE HONEYBOARD AND SIMILAR STUFF SUCH AS CONTACTS AND DIALER IF YOU HAVE A SUBSTITUTE INSTALLED WHILE REVERSIBLE IN THE EVENT YOU DO REMOVE THEM IT WILL RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO USE THE KEYBOARD OR CALL/TEXT OR ADD CONTACTS IF YOU USE THE DEFAULT SAMSUNG DIALER AND KEYBOARD LEAVE THOSE ALONE HOWEVER IF YOU PLAN TO REPLACE WITH GOOGLE STUFF SUCH AS I DID YOU CAN SAFELY REMOVE THEM AND AS FOR MOST GUIDES OF THIS NATURE ALL OF THIS IS SUBJECT TO PERSONAL PREFERENCE SO PLEASE DO DO A LITTLE OF YOUR OWN RESEARCH TO MAKE SURE THERES SOMETHING HERE YOU USE IS NOT PRESENT ON THE LIST WHILE EVERYTHING HERE IS REVERSIBLE IF ACCIDENTALLY DONE ANYWAYS WHY REDO YOUR WORK??

after this simply reboot your phone and your done! dont go any further than this as everything else is 100000000% mandatory and if removed will brick your device somehow such as a bootloop or loss of certain functionality

BONUS: for the best way to protect the lifespan of the batt set protection to maximum and limit charge to 85% NEVER charge to 100% this heavily degrades the batt and will lead to the need to charge more frequently also recommend not letting the batt drop below 20% try to keep it between 85% and 20% at all times

BONUS 2: for anyone who wants a good all around dolby atmos EQ Settings here you go 63 set to 0 125 set to 0 250 set to +7 500 set to +6 1k 2k 4k and 16k set to +2 and 8k set to +3 this will give you in my personal opinion and based on my hearing and ears the best overall sound with the built in speakers

another eq you can try is set dolby atmos on and to custom and set the following 250 +5 500 +4 1k +3 2k +2 4k +1 8K 0 16k +1

BONUS 3: to make the overall phone feel a bit snappier we can go to settings developer options scroll down until you see window animation scale animator duration scale and transition animation scale and set them all to 0.5x this will make animations and everything you do feel alot snappier instead of it kinda just slooooowwwwly lagging

after that? your done! enjoy a much cleaner and bloatware free phone any questions feel free to comment below and i will answer them as soon as i can!

Hi everyone. I just want to post this to ask for insights, especially from fellow Samsung users and those who finance gadgets here.

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra through Home Credit. Even though it's financed, I will be paying hard-earned money for it monthly for its full premium price. I was extremely careful with it—zero scratches, never dropped, never drenched in water.

However, on the 8th day of normal usage, the display suddenly experienced a major hardware crash. It started with horizontal flickering, white lines, and eventually turned into a pink, green, and white checkered pattern across the entire screen.

I immediately brought it to a Samsung Authorized Service Center. The technician acknowledged that it’s clearly a manufacturing/factory defect and not caused by user mishandling. However, they told me that my request for a Unit Replacement was REJECTED because it was already past the strict 7-day replacement window (it manifested on the 8th day, just one day over). They want me to settle for a repair, which means opening up and dismantling a brand-new, ultra-expensive phone to replace internal parts.

It feels incredibly unfair. I will be paying Home Credit monthly for the full price of a BRAND-NEW flagship phone, yet I will end up using a refurbished/repaired device in its very first week.

I have already emailed Samsung Philippines Support to formally appeal for a Commercial/Goodwill Unit Replacement Exception since this is clearly a factory defect that appeared just a week after purchase.

Has anyone here experienced a major display issue like this on a brand-new Samsung device? Were you able to successfully get a Unit Replacement even after the 7-day mark by escalating it to their head office? Any advice on how to deal with this or if I should file a DTI complaint would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

I've seen someone here upgrading from Nothing 1 so I decided to throw in the beginning of my journey with this bad boy. I love Nothing phones but wanted some variety. The last Galaxy phone I had was S6 a looong time ago.

Just wanted to ask about what kind of charger I should use for this phone, I have an Anker 65W, is it still ok to use a non Samsung charger? And should I wait until the phone dies to charge it or charge it when it's below 20%? I got mixed recommendations about it. Either way, I'm so excited for this. My amazon case and screen protectors arrived today too so will mess around with it when I finish work

Bought a new S25 Ultra 512. Love the boxy design. Glad I dint go for the 26 series.
