It's not touch, Samsung ruined the Swipe Gesture. And ow come they didn't try the update before releasing it!? Samsung has gesture from right to left. Did they forget how many actions use that gesture!!?? Idiots

    Hi. Since the 6.1 update my S23 ultra is discharging like crazy, especiaslly when using Youtube: Yesterday i had to charge it 3 times so I can get trough the day (maps, podcast and music): It is a great issue and nooane seems to adress it- pretty embarassing for a Top Tier company. This was my first Samsung and it will be my last.

      DarlingYext, 06 Apr 2024There are no issues like this on the Moto G84 (A14) or vivo... moreif the issue goes mostly to samsung devices, i think they intentionally make their one ui barely usable. the solution is to disable google feeds. samsung may enable them by default and users aren't aware enough of it.

            The fact that almost any chinese brand gives questionable schedule of software updates, makes me appreciate Samsung/Apple more.

              Honestly I never had any issues. Been using 6.1 since it came to my S23+ and I do have Google Feed enabled. No issues whatsoever.

                My pixel 8 pro works flawlessly. And my z flip 5 has all the new 6.1 features and I haven't seen anything problematic. Lucky me. Had an s24u two days and begged my wife to trade me back for my p8p. A true no nonsense flagship

They work so closely, yet managed to mess this up, and then just resort to blaming the other.

                            if it's google's fault, then android 14 is just hot garbage and unstable at best.

                                  That's why i never experienced these issues I've been reading about. I've been using my galaxy S23 Ultra a lot after getting ONE UI 6.1 update and hearing these speculations and i couldn't find anything wrong. Now that it appears that it's Google feeds that causes this, it just clicked that i long disabled it on my phone.

                                    Worst company, same issue happened in m31 mobiles, don't purchase Samsung mobiles.

                                      Anonymous, 05 Apr 2024Do you really know what software is? Yeah, and so what? Samsung should make it sure that the update that they are going to roll out is perfect, before they roll it out, instead of blaming another company after the update ends up creating issues.
