The Samsung Galaxy S24 / Ultra

Same here. I have been seeing a lot of videos about it so far yet I would say more than half the world hasn't recieved it yet. It's like when the first updates went out the embargo was lifted, but I wish they would have waited a week to upload their videos. I hope it's a decent update.

We will get the update this month if you have an s24 series phone. When this month???

Samsung releases slowly in stages in different regions getting the update before others. Then carriers can interfere depending on unlocked or not. Either way doesn't mean one is faster at getting updates over another.

I love my s24u and I want to keep it going for a while longer and I hope Samsung will get back into a faster update pace once OneUI 7 is widely released to most available phones/tablets.

I get anxious about some big updates because some new features some may like and I may find distracting , etc.

At least we can hope this major update will be very stable and well tested........
 
One UI 7 is available in the UK this morning. I’m actually surprised at how many features the S24 Ultra has from the S25 Ultra (software wise obviously). The Now Bar being one of them.
 
Update available in Spain!

There are some minor differences I've detected in the lockscreen customization vs the S25. For example, the clock can't be as big as in the S25 combined with the small widgets underneath. Shame.

Otherwise very good UI refresh. The new notifications design is especially welcomed.

If I'm not mistaken... the only feature that's exclusive to the s25 series is the Now Brief. I didn't think Samsung would have opened up the LOG feature for the S24 series... but it's available for them.

I believe so. I was quite surprised at how many features Samsung was actually giving to the S24 Ultra. It’s validated my decision to not upgrade to the S25 Ultra even more, i don’t feel like I’m missing out on very much now that One Ui 7 has landed.

Does anyone know of a site that shows a schedule for the updates based on Carrier? Everyone is saying One UI 7 is coming to the US today, yet it hasn't arrived yet, and on Carriers it might be further delayed so they can format it or something. I'm on T Mobile, so is there a schedule from T Mobile on when they might release it? Is that how this whole thing works?
 
Just got the update here in the US. S24 Ultra. Unlocked phone on metro in the 🏜 desert. Metro is a T mobile owned subsidiary so I would think all T mobile carriers or run on T mobile should be getting the update now?

OneUI 7. Nice update so far. It was a big one. The keyboard is even a little different. Will take a while to see all the new features.

Seems pretty stable. Notifications are different. Not bad, but I have to get used to dealing with them in a different way.

Just keep checking for software updates and hopefully it will arrive soon.

I think i have an unlocked device but my carrier is still T Mobile. Still no update. Maybe I'm not getting it today after all.

There just might be a lot of traffic. Wait until later tonight. Reboot your phone and check for updates later tonight and I am pretty sure you will get it.
 
Still haven't gotten it yet. All these videos and news sites saying it's officially out in the US and I'm still waiting. At least I knew with Apple it was coming out a Monday in September at around 10 AM. It's not really that big of a deal in the long run, but considering the big delay already, it's annoying. I've also been checking for a good part of the day and nothing is happening.

I do not think the IP15P"s owners would agree they have had to wait for IOS 18.4 update last week that's 7 months later to catch up with the IP16P's and there is still updates outstanding for both the 16's and 15's :rolleyes:
 
Has anyone had stuttering and decreased battery life, on their S24 Ultra since the One UI 7 update?

I updated my S24 Ultra yesterday (UK) while it was on charge. Took it off charge after the update had completed, ever since doing so I've had stuttering/lag and the battery has drained faster.

It sounds like 18 has been a mess but when I had the 15 pro max, everyone seemed to get the update together no matter your phone. Maybe something has changed but like I said 18 has cause quite a few controversies it sounds like.

Try to clear the cache in recovery if you haven't done that already and hopefully after a reboot it settles in

I probably need to give it a day or two in order too settle in. I just hope it's not an issue with One UI 7, waited long enough for the update. Especially compared to IOS 18 which my iPhone 15 Pro Max got on day one. But I also understand that Samsung have a lot more phones and devices out there in order to support One UI 7.

Hopefully settles in a day I can understand the battery draining a little bit on the first day. I was running my fold on the beta no issues and officially came over to stable release so far okay
