So, Samsung began rolling out One UI 7, primarily based on Android 15. It’s purported to deliver smoother animations, a brand new look, and a few Galaxy AI options like reside name transcripts and writing instruments. Fairly cool on paper.
However sadly, the rollout hasn’t gone completely. It launched on gadgets just like the Galaxy S24, S23, S22, Fold6, Flip6, and some tablets too. And proper after it dropped in early April, issues began exhibiting up, particularly for S24 customers in South Korea. A few of them actually couldn’t unlock their telephones after updating. Not nice.
Samsung needed to pull the replace from their servers round April 11–12, then fastened it and launched a brand new construct (BYD9) by April 17. That model solved the lock difficulty for most individuals. However bugs are nonetheless being reported.
Right here’s what persons are complaining about
Some customers have made complaints on platforms like Reddit, Samsung boards, and posts on X — and a few patterns are popping up:
Replace gained’t set up or obtain correctly
Numerous Galaxy S24 Extremely customers say they see errors like:
“Couldn’t set up replace. Strive once more later.”
In some circumstances, the replace downloads totally however simply refuses to put in. Others say it pauses randomly. Looks as if Samsung’s servers acquired hammered when everybody tried downloading directly. Just a few folks fastened it by pausing the obtain, restarting their cellphone, and making an attempt once more after a few hours.
Lock display screen points
The unique rollout induced some customers to get locked out of their telephones fully. That’s principally fastened with the newer replace, however a couple of of us nonetheless say their fingerprint or face unlock doesn’t work typically. One bizarre bug? Safe Folder exhibiting hidden pics within the Gallery. Not everybody sees it, however it’s regarding.
Residence display screen structure will get tousled (particularly on tablets)
When you use a horizontal structure or huge widgets in your Galaxy Tab S9 or S10, you may discover the structure is damaged after updating. Samsung even warned about this.
