Samsung has been rolling out Android Pie for the Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9/S9+ across the globe for a few weeks now. Those with carrier-locked units in North America have had to wait, though. That's because carriers put firmware updates through an additional testing process which ends up delaying the rollout. The wait might […]
It has only been a couple of weeks since Samsung opened up the One UI (Android Pie) beta program for the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy S8/S8+. It was an unprecedented move as the company has previously limited beta programs to the Galaxy S series of that particular year. Samsung stepped up the beta […]
Last week, we documented a number of changes included in the Android 8.0 Oreo beta for the Galaxy S8—and now we have another one to add to our list: the Lock screen clock changes color to match the wallpaper you're using. The feature is far from perfect, though. It tends to use the same shade […]
You have to use the Theme Park Good Lock module.
After a few months of waiting, Samsung's 2021 and 2022 flagship phones have finally started getting the highly anticipated One UI 6.1 update with Galaxy AI features. Yesterday, Samsung began the One UI 6.1 rollout for the Galaxy Z3 and Z4 lineups, the Galaxy S21 series, and the Galaxy S22 trio of 2022 flagships. At […]
If you use Samsung's navigation gestures on your Galaxy smartphone, you will not be happy when you update it to One UI 6.1. With One UI 6.1, you can only use Android's stock navigation gestures, which means you will have to force yourself to adjust to a completely new way of operating your device. That's […]
Samsung has made numerous changes to its mobile strategy over the past few years, and I happen to agree with many of the company's more recent decisions. With few exceptions, I like where Samsung's flagship phones and One UI have been heading. However, the latest One UI 6.1 update reminded me that Samsung isn't perfect. […]
Many Galaxy phones have received the One UI 6 (Android 14) update in the last few days. With more users now getting the chance to use the new software, some issues that still plague One UI 6 even after the long beta phase it went through are coming to light. One such issue involves a […]
Samsung released the official Android 14 and One UI 6 update for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra in late October. Samsung has only just begun, though, as quite a few more eligible Galaxy devices are in line for the update, which will make the coming weeks and months exciting for Samsung […]
One UI 6.0 is nowhere to be found yet, but Samsung jumped the gun earlier this week and accidentally spilled the beans on the beta program through one of its news portals. And although that premature announcement didn't reveal much about the update, it did confirm one massive UI change. Namely, One UI 6.0 completely […]
Every year, Samsung's new foldable smartphones debut with a new version of One UI. Next month, the company will debut two new foldable phones: Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. And with those new phones, Samsung could debut One UI 5.1.1 with some new features. However, it will be based on Android […]
Samsung could soon release the stable Android 13 update to the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Although the company's One UI 5.0 release timeline states that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will get the update in December, the company has released the fifth One UI 5.0 update, which means that the stable update could be released […]
After weeks of testing the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 firmware update through a handful of beta releases in select markets, Samsung finally discussed at large the new version of One UI during SDC22 moments ago. The One UI 5.0 update is almost ready to leave the beta stages, and the firmware's debut is closing in […]
Samsung's Home Up module for the Good Lock platform is getting a fairly small but important update to version 2.0.01.29. The latest version is not very exciting for Home Up users looking for a payoff right now, but it guarantees compatibility with Samsung's upcoming One UI firmware update. Home Up version 13.0.00.43 adds support for […]
As usual, Samsung isn't speaking out about the new features we can expect.
