Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

Android 16 has been released today. Updated my S24 with no issues. I'm not seeing much difference to Android 15 be honest!

Same. Just got the update earlier - time will tell I guess.

Updated my S24U and there seems to be something going wrong with NFC, I can no longer scan my blood glucose monitors

Definitely feels snapier to me. Not much else difference from what I can see.

Not tried NFC since the update.

 

[slipd]

NFC is fine here, just tried it. Overseas as well

October security patch is available.

November patch is now available.

 

[mrgubby]

The November patch seems to have fixed my NFC / CGM issues

How's everyone's batteries holding up? I've have my Ultra since launch and the battery is definitely not what it once was - which is fair enough I guess, considering age/my usage etc.

I think a genuine Samsung/EE replacement is currently £90. I might have to consider that in the New Year.

Mine feels the same. Had it capped to 80% from the start and 80 still feels like 80

I think I started the battery protection thing quite early on, but definitely not from the start. I still get 12-16 hours from charge out of it I reckon but it feels like that's lessoned over time. - which is fair enough.

I've never had to reset this device either, which, when I've reset previous phones has definitely improved battery life - even in the short term.

Are all you 24FE owners still happy with your phone?

I can get a new one for £400 and that seems a real bargain at that money.

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

Happy with mine yep. Still going strong.

Had it installed for quite a few days now

January patch update is now available

Has anyone replaced their battery yet? Had my Ultra almost since launch and I've definitely noticed a decline in recent months. Only to be expected after nearly two years I guess.

I think EE/Samsung do genuine battery swap for £90.

mine still ok

checked the battery health app, and it shows my health is 102%
i charge to 80% , no more

I've been on the 80% thing for a about a year now

It's been 6 months but there's finally a new Google Play system update available!

On another note, can anyone recommend me a cheap and cheerful case for my S24+? The one I got from Samsung at launch is beginning to disintegrate.
