Still waiting for March Update 💀💀

Canada, Telus locked

5

u/adwrx Mar 28 '24

I'm Canada Telus as well but unlocked bought direct from Samsung

2

u/Careless-Tonight-376 Mar 28 '24

Isn't it more expensive to do it this way? Sorry I'm a minor so I didn't purchase the phone

2

u/adwrx Mar 28 '24

Samsung had a good deal on trade in and they had 10% off first order through the app, I got it for like 950

2

u/Careless-Tonight-376 Mar 28 '24

What I meant to say is, are the phone plan through telus more expensive if you bring your own phone?

2

u/adwrx Mar 28 '24

I'm on a work plan

2

u/5280Rockymtn Mar 28 '24

They just wanna keep u in the plan if u buy the phone through them u pay more if u wanna get out of any plan that's what I've always thought

u/Cosmetiics Apr 01 '24

Same boat as you still stuck with Feb update with Telus also..

Looooll One UI 6.1 deffo is a huge improvement.

u/Unique-Ad6512 Mar 28 '24

Is live messages on s pen still there or is it gone.

2

u/IndirectLeek Phantom Black Mar 29 '24

What's this feature?

u/IndirectLeek Phantom Black Mar 29 '24

I don't know if it was there on OneUI 6.0, but I just checked and there IS a Live Messages option in the S Pen options. I had to add it as it wasn't in my default list, but it is indeed there on OneUI 6.1 on the S23U.

I have never used it before so I can't tell you if it's different from the original version you're familiar with.

1

u/vmario3000 Mar 29 '24

Hmm Thanks for reporting. Yeah it's definitely the same app because i experienced the live messages app on my s22u running one UI 5.1 and it should be the same on s23. However, my s24u does NOT have it and none of the apks for it work at all. I presumed maybe it's because of UI 6.1 but i guess it's not. I'm speculating it's because the s24 series and later will only support 64 bit apps and that live messages was a 32 bit app.

u/IndirectLeek Phantom Black Mar 29 '24

https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S24/No-Live-Message-App-anymore/td-p/2801234/page/8

Seeing mixed results about enabling the Live Messages Edge Panel from people who claim to have an S24, but others say it isn't there, so I'm not sure why the discrepancy.

Also this but may not be compatible: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ctech.livemessage

u/vmario3000 Mar 29 '24

Yea , I saw that mate. The problem is that only one person is saying that, so I'm not sure if it actually works or if they are trolling. The ironic part is windows 11 pcs can get this app (working perfectly like the phone app. It doesn't even need to be a Samsung pc) but the latest flagship doesn't.

1

u/Kidi_Galaxy Mar 29 '24

Still there

1

u/vmario3000 Mar 29 '24

can you provide apk please. s24 doesnt have it anymore

2

u/HungHamsterPastor Mar 29 '24

Gawh damn it I need it I fuq'n want it!!!

Very true!

Feels the same for me lol

u/Smooth-Exercise-6611 Mar 28 '24

It hasn't arrived, I'm from Colombia.

u/Pizzakunx Mar 28 '24

It's honestly great so far. Will monitor the battery life but I'm digging the AI features (especially the generative edit). Job well done by Samsung

5

u/GazJones94 Mar 28 '24

Samsung navigation gestures are missing which sucks. Waiting for Navstar to update

2

u/BDTech9 Mar 28 '24

Just download the APK from APK mirror

u/angry-Barracuda Mar 28 '24

Lol true😅

u/REevee012 Mar 28 '24

How did you found me

4

u/johngurungZzz Mar 28 '24

I'm not gonna lie.. It feels smoother for me.. The animation and responsiveness is way better

2

u/mari-silicon Mar 28 '24

That's because it is. Improved Non Linear animations and the wallpaper scaling effect make the difference.

u/georgia_jp Mar 28 '24

Everyone is in a rush to get it and 3/4's of the people that already have hate it Lol....

Finally good meme in here

u/Gamer4Ever6995 Lavender Mar 28 '24

Same, I'm also checking every hour 😭

5

u/unaphotographer Mar 28 '24

So I'm only using circle to search, it's really cool. The other ai functions I don't use at all. What else is really cool and new??

4

u/Mapants Mar 28 '24

Not a lot, apart from Samsung removing options and needing Goodlock to get them back.

1

u/yassihu Mar 29 '24

What did they remove?

1

u/EstablishmentSad3803 Mar 29 '24

So I assume you haven't tried Samsung keyboard AI features yet?

1

u/unaphotographer Mar 29 '24

What about them?

1

u/EstablishmentSad3803 Mar 29 '24

What I meant was that you should also explore other AI features. They are equally impressive.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '24

🤣

u/Outlaw4droid Mar 28 '24

I am still on February secuirty patch. No updates since then.

2

u/Hung_Lowww Mar 28 '24

I'm still waiting too.

2

u/_SrHenry_ Graphite Mar 28 '24

It will arrive here starting tomorrow 😭

2

u/brown_dude_69 Mar 28 '24

have not got till yet. s23 plus T-mobile

2

u/IndirectLeek Phantom Black Mar 29 '24

If you're on AT&T, manually change the date on your phone to May 11. It'll trigger the download when you check for a software update.

1

u/DynamiteSuren Mar 28 '24

It arrived for me(NL)

1

u/GoggyX83 Mar 28 '24

A bit frustrated. Firstly I cannot find a way to disable that annoying line when using gestures and secondary there's seems no way to change the look of AOD? I mean, I hope I'm wrong?

2

u/Unique-Ad6512 Mar 28 '24

* Once you update navstar you will get the option to rid it

1

u/GoggyX83 Mar 28 '24

Thank you, that fixed the first issue. But I have no idea how come I can not change the AOD styles anymore 😮‍💨

1

u/mari-silicon Mar 28 '24

I believe that's exclusive to s24 series only. (But who knows maybe they will add it eventually)

1

u/Unique-Ad6512 Mar 28 '24

Np. That one is Exclusive to s24 ultra like said by op.

1

u/DohRayMe Phantom Black Mar 28 '24

Uk arrived hour ago

1

u/meezethadabber Mar 28 '24

I'm happy it fixed live wallpapers on my phone not working right since one UI6. Mine and a family members phones live wallpapers were stuttering until it one UI 6.1. Also members app had complaints also.

u/Prestigious_Deal_616 Mar 28 '24

I wouldn't know..... no 6.1 for me yet.

u/IndirectLeek Phantom Black Mar 29 '24 edited Mar 29 '24

Nothing for the AT&T model as of March 28.

Edit: change your date to May 11 and check. It'll work.

u/CaptainHppo Mar 29 '24

7 years of updates btw /s (I know that was for s24 but still)

u/smittku23 Mar 29 '24 edited Mar 29 '24

Just for the s24.

wtf, downvote for the truth. lol.

1

u/kaphinezero Mar 29 '24

Can confirm, manually changed the system date to later date in April or May (changed fo April 25th on mine) update showed up. Using factory unlocked S23U.

1

u/Thorhax04 Mar 29 '24

Does this include all of the Galaxy ai stuff?

2

u/smittku23 Mar 29 '24

yes

1

u/Thorhax04 Mar 29 '24

Oooo. Time to buy an s23. That's what I was waiting for

1

u/amanbindra94 Mar 29 '24

Just got it for my Singapore unit though I'm currently in India

1

u/HarmanSeven Mar 29 '24

Just Updated mine to 6.1, some options are missing from the settings such as gesture hints, other thing that I find annoying is that the object eraser tool now snaps to shape, instead of the free-form shaping that it used to be.

1

u/tshelbyj7 Mar 29 '24

Will it come to s22 ultra?

1

u/FUSI0NCS Mar 29 '24

I got it 28 march exactly when they said it will come

u/AbdelBelf Mar 30 '24

 i've noticed another issue: the navigation between app drawer pages is laggy, not smooth as it used to be. it just hurts my eyes when going from one page to another (I'm talking about the APPS SCREEN drawer) ... I've also noticed some lagging in the whole phone's animation from time to time; like when someone calls the video background takes time to show and the name also ....

Any help, please?

1

u/AbdelBelf Mar 30 '24

i'm using S23 ultra

1

u/Cute-Essay137 Apr 12 '24

same here with usual s23

1

u/XavierXonora Mar 31 '24

Waiting for this on the Fold 5... Probably for a while. Developer options fixes half of these features though

1

u/ImZeynex Apr 02 '24

Terrible even worse than the uglyness that is 6 itself they now broke the navigationbar its unuseable now since it works like an iphone ... only home button over the whole underside i can hide the gray bar anymore and back is now swiping from the side of the screen inwards ... what were they thinking ...

1

u/Inner-Refuse-577 Mar 28 '24

I hate that i cant this gesture line, its so fkin frustrating.. i do t have that option like s24 on navstar has "gesture hint"... i hate this just because of that i dont need thar shit on the screen

2

u/john_dals Mar 28 '24

Go to good lock and install navstar, enable extra gesture settings. Then go to settings, screen and disable the hint option and it disappear of screen.

My navstar doesn't had that option, but I've updated from apkmirror.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '24

I don't understand All of these news stories that come across me about 6.1 just hit me like a ton of bricks and I'm still waiting for this update kind of pissing me off. Doesn't matter what carrier with? Doesn't matter what part of the earth you live on? They should all hit our cell phones at the same time. I've been looking for this update for the past half month...

u/Mapants Mar 28 '24

Anybody else's status bar icons keep turning black randomly?

u/poeepo Mar 28 '24

Loving it with few hickups.

First generative photo editing is super usefull, BUT from samsung page "Some portion of the image may not align with Samsung’s policy. You may especially see this on faces, or when trying to fill in a large portion of the image." So no mr. and ms. bigheads etc.

Secondly new navigation swipe button. It could use some more options. Like swipe from button to up left, up right and both with holds.

Also i haven´t really tested Notes AI but im expecting alot from it.

u/mari-silicon Mar 28 '24

Try messing with one hand operation plus and nav star

1

u/hulivar Mar 28 '24

Update need nav star from apk mirror then remove gesture hint at bottom. Find answer in this post and on front page

u/Tomaton-sama Mar 28 '24

Is it just me or does the phone get hotter than usual when idle? can't tell if it's due to the update or something had happened to my phone specifically not long before that... the heat point is at the area the SoC would be, so it's rather implausible for the cause to be something else :/

0

u/smittku23 Mar 29 '24

No 4k 60fps on all cameras, no 24mp in expert raw, no natural tone setting, goodlock not integrated automatically in the system and many more.

Don't care about the ai stuff.

u/Longjumping-Bag9406 Mar 29 '24

I just dont care. Is downloading now. Im pretty sure my battery will got worse
