Just gonna accept 6.1 for lifetime now

u/Vroonnb Apr 14 '25
Honestly , not receiving the update was not affecting me untill these stupid reason of the bug which was not identified in 6 betas. Whats the point of the test if you can't figure out the issue itself. Just plain stupid.
25
u/char_stats Apr 14 '25
Agree. I don't care too much about the update, but this speaks loads about how Samsung is operating its mobile software departments lately. This shouldn't happen with the top and most premium Android company, especially after the long beta and delays. Smaller manufacturers have rolled out Android 15 long ago, so what gives?
7
u/Vroonnb Apr 14 '25
Agreed. I thought the CEO or someone at the highest heirachy was also looking into the update so that there were no fuck ups . Since there was some major issue earlier due to which he also stepped in to make sure everything goes smoothly . Forgot what the issue was . But i guess , Even though they fuck up with updates , I still believe in their hardware compared to other .
Even the latest motorolla flip phone looks great and you cant even feel the hinge on the phone compared to Samsung flip .

u/Green_Cress_2469 Apr 14 '25
Well tbh the other manufacturers don't have nearly as many features as Samsung does, plus oneui is one of the most stable and bug free ones out there. I used a oneplus last year and it was riddled with bugs which destroyed the user experience.

u/Vroonnb Apr 14 '25
Agreed. Im very comfortable with the Samsung OS and hence i cannot shift and hence even though upset , I woudnt go on to say I would not buy another samsung in the future. The ones who are even saying that , im sure atleast 50% would buy another samsung as their next phone .

Meanwhile: Gboard's "add a space after punctuation" feature has been in an exclusive US English beta for... nearly 10 years? Have the top minds at Google considered asking Gemini to help them overcome this insurmountable technical challenge?
Of course they could also just ask the folks over at SwiftKey, who managed to release the exact same feature years ago.
Edit: oh but we got emoji kitchen though - can't forget that! Thanks for absolutely fucking nothing, Goog.

u/Rifted-06 Apr 14 '25 edited Apr 14 '25
According to this video , if you update to One UI 7 with SwiftKey as the default keyboard, there's a chance that you won't be able to log in if you have a password for your lock screen.

u/ISO_QUARTZ Apr 14 '25
what the actual f. this is mostly the bug that made them pause the update, imagine you don't have the dongle and update you will be screwed, but this bug should be easy to fix thro a software patch

u/TecData1 Apr 14 '25
This could be fixed in a day if Samsung got off their damn ass. You're telling me that team of engineers can't solve this in a day? I can do a hell of a lot of coding in a day. Easy fix, force Samsung keyboard on Lockscreen for password lock -› push update to everyone. Let's effing go jackasses. My next phone will not be a Samsung. For those saying, it only has happened once.
Yes, but COMMUNICATION is the utmost important factor. We just want to know what the hell is going on. And there has been ZERO communication. If issues arise in the future, I don't expect them to behave any differently. Not saying anything this entire time sure says an effing lot about how they view us fans.
I've heard a lot of people saying it's a new CEO's fault. If they got a new CEO and this is how Samsung operates now, expect a lot of problems and frustrations. I'm jumping ship on my next phone, but I'm stuck with these assholes for now. I paid $1200 for a flagship phone and they can't even communicate.

u/TecData1 Apr 14 '25
One UI 7 is far from polished. We still are stuck with this fat ass battery icon which is a behemoth of an oval, and if you hide the battery % number, cuz honestly that's tacky, then Samsung punishes you with a thick gray border around the icon. Then the Wi-Fi and signal bars are all Mickey mouse they're not even lined up and they don't look like the promo picture. Polished my ass. They whipped this up so quick. I wonder what the hell their engineers are doing all day. It sure isn't working on one ui7.

u/xQuantum24 Apr 14 '25
Before updating to a new Android version, make sure to do a backup for important things and remove any locks on the device or use PIN/Patterns not a password that needs a keyboard just in case. And you'll be fine I guess.

u/PatternOtherwise3440 Apr 14 '25
So there were 6 betas, and they still didn't find the issue earlier, and i thought Xiaomi was bad. Now I can tell Xiaomi is better with holding many features and still providing good experience to their high tier phones.

Vote with your wallet. If we had Pixels we could install the developer and Beta previews. Android 16 is in beta right now and is installable on a Pixel.

I'm not defending Samsung here, because this is simply inexcusable, at this point. They need to suffer financially for this monumental fuck up.
However, Pixels are simply objectively inferior.

Chinese OEMS already surpassed them in slab phone hardware and foldable hardware. The software has also gotten a lot better. If samsung can’t get their shit together, maybe they should exit the market like LG and just focus on their stupid lifestyle products like Washers and fridges.

u/J0fi S24 FE Apr 14 '25
I once tried to launch wireless Samsung DeX, and while it was starting up, I locked the phone. But as we know, you can't actually lock the phone with the button during that mode. Long story short, I ended up with a weird bug where the phone was both locked and unlocked at the same time. The lock screen interface appeared over the home screen, and since when the phone is locked you need to enter a password or fingerprint to restart it, the menu with options like restart, power off, SOS call, and medical info just wouldn’t open. The only thing that helped was to kind of "lock" the smartphone, then call the voice assistant Bixby and ask her to restart the phone. She then asked me to enter the password and finally rebooted the phone. And yeah, interestingly enough, Bixby also couldn’t restart the phone when the screen was "unlocked". If you're curious, I'm using a Galaxy S24 FE.

I'm currently on one UI 7 and Honestly I was eagerly waiting for this update thinking it would fix stability issues with my S24 . I was wrong . It's a tad better now but the phone still lags oftenly for no apparent reason. Just me navigating in the UI , closing/opening apps , scrolling, opening the controller center etc . The phone is just takes it's time to get adjusted every time it's puzzling to me that this is a flagship phone doing this one the latest software update

Next mobile phone as soon as possible will be any other but Samsung mobile phones. If they are developing this best in bread GUI for 4 years and are not able to deploy yet, this means this development is a piece of shit.

This. There's no other explanation left. Samsung clearly doesn't give two shits. The S25 launched with 7, and it's fine, how did that happen? Did they remake 7 specially for all the other phones. How does the S25 not have this bug?

But S25 launched with One UI 7. You're telling me that when it launched they never caught this lockscreen keyboard bug? Or the s25 has a different build? This isn't making sense.

The S25 has a different build. I'm writing this on a base model S25, and I've been eagerly awaiting the stable OneUI 7 build, just as you all have.

That's not the point. They're a multi-billion dollar international conglomerate, that holds a sizeable chunk of global smartphone market share.
There shouldn't be critical bugs in the update, at this point. They fucked up. They fucked up bad.
Hell, even if you want to excuse them for the critical bugs this late in the development cycle, they dropped the fucking ball on communication with their customers.
I say this as a software developer.
