    I would appreciate it if someone could explain how to prevent my Samsung phone from automatically ending TikTok livestreams (when screen sharing) while playing demanding games such as Wuthering Waves. I've been experiencing this issue on my S23 Ultra, and it's quite frustrating.

      It depends what other options do you have. If you only considering samsung then yes it's good deal.

          If you have another region CSC you won't receive any OTA even if you have 918B international model. For example I have factory EUX, I can install THL with no problems. But then I won't receive OTA unless I go to Thailand(THL). And vice versa. If you have factory THL then If you flash EUX you won't receive EUX updates in Thailand unless you go to europe where EUX updates are being pushed. Btw I mentioned THL because this CSC usually receives updates faster compared to EUX so people with little patience likes to flash newer THL software until EUX one comes out.

            Anonymous, 10 Jun 2025No I'm not. Different region CSC will certainly BLOCK ... moreIf you buy a Carrier phone that was imported i to Nigeria and sold as UK, Belgium, then there is high chances you will never get any update because they are carrier locked and most times they are permanently disabled from communicating with the the carrier while jailbreaking which is a prerequisite for receiving updates because your phone have to communicate with the carriers server, take for example american U and U1 samsung phones.

            That being said, i own a samsung S23 Ultra B variant, a pixel Japanese variant and a vivo Chinese Variant, all of them were imported into the country by me(brand new), but i have been receiving updates on a regular as possible basis inside this 9ja, and i did pick Nigeria from setup.

            Now my major point,... If you are buying a tokumbo phone make sure they are not carrier phone because the update have to be released to your phone by the carrier and not by the phone manufacturer and since your phone was JailBroken and carrier contact disabled, you will never get the update.

            Please note, you will always get your update regardless of where you are in the world as long as you have a factory unlocked phone and the OEM is seeding to your serial number because they tend to do it in batches so as not to overwhelm their servers. worst case is that you will have to go to settings and check manually before it pops.

            I AWAIT YOUR COUNTER.

              Anonymous, 04 Jun 2025You are so very wrong sir. No I'm not. Different region CSC will certainly BLOCK ALL OTA UPDATES and that's the fact. I will not expand more on this. If you want more info about this go to xda forums, there are lots of people who will explain it with more details why I'm not wrong.

                    What I mean: for example I'm from europe and I have EUX(european version), If I travel to Thailand, US or whatever I wont receive EUX updates. So If you did bought your phone with other region CSC you won't receive it ever. But you can change it so Nigerian one and then updates will work again

                      Never going to buy any model "U" Galaxy again. The Sim card manager is neutered in them. Limited dual SIM capabilities and, until recently, no call recording.

                            Gborons, 29 May 2025I'm considering upgrading from an A73 to a new device ... moreThe upgrade is AMAZING!!!! I'm seeing colors in my selfies that I didn't know were even possible!! The selfie camera in this phone is better than the iPhone 16 Pro Max. I know this because one of my colleagues has one.

                            The whole Camera set-up is eye-watering. The main camera takes nothing short of incredible photos, and the zoom is marvelous!! What this camera delivers at 30x is better than any photo I've ever taken using my A72's main camera!! Also, the image-oversharpening issue is real. You WILL NEED to download Camera Assistant from the Galaxy store and set Picture Softening at Medium (or high, depending on your preference). If you like overly sharp images, then this should not be an issue for you. I like my images a bit more DSLR-like.

                            This is my first time using a flagship, so since last week, I'm spending most of my days just opening the screen and looking at it, the screen is THAT good!!!

                            As for charging, I charge my phone overnight, and keep it at 85% cap. I use my phone from 7:00 a.m. to around 11:30 p.m. I am generally seeing 15-13% charge remaining at the end of the day. So I suppose that's good. My average screen-on time is 5 hours. I'm still using the 25W Samsung charger that came with my A72. Last night, the phone said it needed 48 minutes to charge from 13% to 85% and 1 hour and 9 minutes to charge from 13% to 100%. I'm not gonna buy the 45W charger. I can live with a 15-minute slower charging speed.

                            One thing I hate, One UI 7. I was using one ui 6.1. One UI 7 took away a lot of customization options.

                              I have the phone for more than 2 years now. It's updated to ONE UI 7.0 and I have to say, it's one of the best phones I've ever had.
                              The update to UI 7.0 is working normally without any issues . The battery performance is improved after the update. Well done samsung 👍

How does the battery life compare to your previous A72, and what are your thoughts on the overall feel and usage? Do you consider the upgrade worthwhile?

Samsung sends the international version of 256 GB ROM to Nigeria. I unknowingly bought the USA model since I wanted 512 GB ROM and so don't get updates. I've refused to unlock it. I've been on One UI 5 1 since I bought it in 2023.

I would also say that sometimes just wiping cache in the recovery is enough. No need for a full reset unless you are having issues of course.
