Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

It is, even on Pixel the experience isn't perfect if you use a third party launcher with gestures.
But some have had it fixed, like Sony. On Xperia the animation does the correct "shrink into the app icon" thing when swiping home from an app. Just a standard animate downwards thing on my Samsung. Doesn't bother me though, but the delay before I can tap an app does slightly!

Does it on the Pixel. Shrink into app icon.

Yeah that makes sense. I do keep my phone clear of garbage facebook, tik tok & all that stuff.

Anyhow too late now it's flattened & just rebuilding now.

Be interesting if you see any difference in screen

(as people reporting some potential link between smartswitch and dull screens)

 

[BananaDunka]

I don't see how using smartswitch creates a dull screen, it's just an app

I used it btw and there's no dull screen at all, natural mode, true colour tone mode activated too.

I'm with you on that mate, I can't process the logic haha - just what I've read online

 

[BIGWEB]

Let us know how you get on!

May be some config change or it's taken a setting not compatible , odd what bugs can happen in software when there is no relation to the core featureset

It also copies across system pref files, there could be a conflict or a mistake.

I didn't notice a dull screen before?

I have my screen set to Vivid - advanced settings White Balance then I turn the Red & Green down to 0.

I like a nice cool screen

True, could be some logic behind it I guess if looking at it that way

 

[HungryHippos]

Colour profiles might get bugged out when a setting is changed, I mean the screen appears capable of showing content nicely, just sometimes it doesn't.

Smart switch from specific devices may even trigger it.

May not even be related to smart switch at all, could just be a combination of settings that causes it.

Hoping a software patch can address it though, it's usable, but there does seem to be something off with it at times.

Anyone with the S24U yet seen any word of this rumoured camera / launch day update yet?

 

[pinkpound]

Anyone sent the trade in off yet , I cant find a box so going to just wrap my S23U in a metre of bubblewrap and place in a bag

You'll get a Special Delivery discount for that.

I just sent it in the box the s24u came in, not the product one, but the black one with the solar thing on it.

apparentely it was fake news and samsung responded saying "wrong no such thing"

Yep I sent my S23U off the next day. Wasn't going to be sending back the S24U back to Samsung, so off the S23U went.

Gotta admit I really did like that Red & Black combo of the S23U.

Tbh I'm not sure what the issues are, I'm pretty happy when comparing next to the Pixel 8 pro. Will test more this weekend when I'm out and about.

Few days until the monthly updates so no doubt there will be some bug fixes there, I tim they get more people using the phones they may not be able work out what bugs exist.

I've learnt not to trust a lot of YouTubers , especially the ones that rush out reviews to be first and get the hits, some longer term camera reviews are coming on line and they seem decent enough (not perfect though and there is some tuning to be done)

 

[BananaDunka]

Unless the user had a combination of settings before, then this should not happen, plus all the display settings remain the same between OneUI 6 and 6.1, the only new addition being true colour tone.

It will be something else. There is a quickpanel toggle called "extra dim", maybe people accidentally tapped this at some point and didn't realise.

I was mainly referring to some people (it was someone here) saying about noisy night shots / shots that aren't in perfect light being full of noise

That was me. I've been playing around more and it's very inconsistent. Many shots come out very dark too.. post processing because before clicking the shutter the shot looks good
