If you mean by angling your thumb, then add a second fingerprint, but angle it left for first 50% and angle it right for other 50%. Maybe the screen protector is also interfering if you applied one?

If you mean thumb orientation, can't help you there, except to add another with that orientation where you expect it to be placed. My S21U can recognize my fingerprint no matter if it's upside-down, to the right, up... My S10+ with LineageOS 20 had to have an approximate orientation for it to be recognized. A massive improvement, as well as being able to be used completely dry, and much faster.

    been a long time Samsung user;

    1. Note 1
    2. Note 4 (nice switchable battery)
    3. S9+ (Screen problem - yellow tint / blackened screen) regret buying
    4. Note 10+ (beast)
    5. Fold 4 (inner screen problem just a year of usage) regret buying
    6. S24U (Super beast) bought on 26 Jan 2024

      M.A, 09 Apr 2024Is there problem in super fast charging 2.0 as just 65 % in... moreCheck your charger for outputs. It needs specifically PD 3.0 45W support.

      Maybe it supports 15W but not 25 or 45W. My family member has a Xiaomi 120W charger but it only supports 15W, 66W and 120W, not 25W thus my S21U charges only 15W.

        M.A, 09 Apr 2024It is supose to the charger give the battery max watt 45 ... moreOn my S21U it charges slower with screen on and using apps.

        For example Firefox is a battery hog and would drain 15% per hour plus heat up the phone (I had a lot of addons I admit) plus it would reload tabs sometimes while Brave responds much faster, doesn't heat up the phone and doesn't reload tabs and it wastes 10-11% per hour.

        You can download expanded Battery Guru from paget96's page (more options including Doze than Play Store version).

        https://www.paget96projects.com/battery-guru-download.html

        It needs some adb permissions to grant, which you can do without a PC using Shizuku and aShell. Shizuku is on Play Store while aShell is free on F-Droid.

        Battery Guru will show you exact amperage and wattage in the moment through a notification. It will also show you percentage of battery usage per hour.

        As the battery charges, it heats up. At 38°C it slows down to protect the battery. Using the phone while it's charging also contributes to battery heat.

        Turn off the screen, and if using the phone, avoid apps that heat up the phone and it will charge faster. It cannot charge constantly at 45w as the battery heats up, and if it forced 45w despite battery heat it would damage it or significantly shorten it's lifespan. Be glad this is implemented.

The S24 Ultra, whether unintentionally or not, has a more natural color tone. I would assume this might be a side-effect of the anti-reflective glass. Also, curved displays are impractical and have that horrible bleed down the sides and glare.

Charging speed depends on battery temperature, ambient temperature. On your case there are high possibility of background processes eating a lot of juice and making your device heat more than normal that's why it's charging slower. You can check power hungry apps in battery settings + put all apps that don't need notifications in deep sleep.

              I recently got the S24U to replace my S22U. Pretty disappointed with the screen so far. It's noticeably grainy and looks washed out. I've installed all the latest updates, even with this if I compare next to the S22U the S24 definitely looks worse. My preferred settings are max resolution, vivid mode and eye comfort shield on. The S22U seems to strike the perfect balance between vivid colours but also filtering out blue light when it's darker. The 24U ends up having this weird mismatch of a clearly high quality resolution and colour depth but with this washed out look you'd expect from a lower quality LCD.

              Also not liking the flat screen, it looks cheap and feels less comfortable to hold. I accept this is personal preference though and lots of people prefer that extra little bit of screen space or like it for writing with the S Pen. But personally it's a downgrade for me. The curved edges of the S22U just looked lovely and seamless, like the screen is floating in the air. And felt more comfortable for swipe gestures like the left swipe I have set up as the back action in Good Lock's One Hand Operation+.

              Unfortunately I waited a couple weeks to even start using the phone as the case I wanted wasn't available straight away. So I'm out of my return window. All I can do if I want to go back to using my S22U is to just sell the S24. The network provider I got it from said they are happy to get a tech to examine it to see if the screen is faulty, but after a few Google searches it seems clear that it's a characteristic of the new display, worse on some units but absolutely no way to know if a replacement unit will be better or not.

              And Samsung don't seem to be accepting it as a defect, I've seen some owners complain and get a reply from Samsung telling them just not to use dark mode or have low brightness, where this screen issue seems to be worse. That attitude is a bit of a joke considering how expensive the phone is. Personally I like to keep my brightness around 10-20% indoors and I use dark mode so the way I use the phone seems to be in the zone where these screen issues are more noticeable. Great performance at low brightness settings is exactly why I've enjoyed using AMOLED screens over the years and I've never seen poor screen characteristics like this on any of my previous Samsung models with this screen type (S22U, S21U, Note 10+, Note 9, Note 8, S6 Edge).

              Also found the fingerprint scanner to be worse so far, I have to keep my thumb really straight for it to work, whereas the S22U can recognise my thumb at other angles. Will have to look at settings as when setting up fingerprint scanning on the S22U it asked me to do a normal scan and then another whilst moving my thumb to different angles so that would explain why it's better in that regard. Perhaps the S24U has a way of doing that.

              If my network provider's tech finds out there is a screen issue and I get a repair/replacement that doesn't have any grain will have to consider whether to keep it or not as the colours and flat screen will still feel like a downgrade. But if the grain can't be fixed I'm almost certain I'll just sell it and accept the £300 or so loss.

                    So far, my experience with the S24 is great.
                    I upgraded from using the first gen Samsung that started using 120hz display which was the Note 20 Ultra 5G, the phone would heat up with regular use, that issue has been fixed.
                    While this phone still does warm up a bit with intensive tasks such as playing high fps games. This issue has mostly been resolved. Another thing is the curved display is now a thing of the past. While the Micro SD has gone away, I do like to see the storage minimum go up from 128GB to 256GB while, this may still not be enough for some with now 8K recording I recommend using 512Gb + or keeping the majority of your photos backed up on a hard drive or on your pc.

                                I personally am still using my s22 ultra, but for my little sister who had an LG Stylo 6, she wanted an iPhone as a new phone but I got her the s24 ultra instead, and let just say she's keen on staying android now.

                                  BigDisplay, 05 Apr 2024Can't agreed more. I had most Sammy phone in my life ... more"I miss most my former Mate 20X, Mate 20X 5g and MI 11 Ultra with the EU rom, those phone i loved more then my Sammy phones, much better optimized in many ways."

                                  Can't you still use them? I know they don't get major updates anymore - but they still have Google Play services, which would update the apps (...I think, lol).

                                    CoinSide, 01 Apr 2024Why is this "opinion section" a warzone? Chinese ... moreCan't agreed more.
                                    I had most Sammy phone in my life because I liked bigger display, always S, note and Ultra models. Last 4 Sammy phones S21u, S22U, S23U and now S24U but I had 4 different Huawei Mate phones to and 1 xiaomi.

                                    I miss most my former Mate 20X, Mate 20X 5g and MI 11 Ultra with the EU rom, those phone i loved more then my Sammy phones, much better optimized in many ways.

                                    I'm not fan of any brand and rly don't like Samsung, but as I told I like big display, top notch display and most a flat display. Big batteri, high charge power etc.
                                    This year Xiaomi 14 Ultra was my choice until Samsung came up with the flat display on S24 Ultra then I had no doubt... And the i kept my belowed stylus 💪🏻

Anyway, this is a so-called feature that exists for lowering eye strain and PWM in s24U, and maybe there will be a software patch to turn on or turn off this grain.

                                        So, I can see a grainy screen on the S24U when I use it in a dark room at night with zero brightness. I have to use an online screen test to see it. Otherwise, there is no graininess in the S24U.

                                        Okay then, I may never use my phones in a dark room at night, and I never use my phones with zero brightness. Lucky me. I won't regret buying this for the next seven years.
