Yes, the AVC6 update.
Thats the most recent, improves performance quite a bit especially for games.
BUT I'm hoping one of the added overall satbility updates will also include the compass and GPS.
I drove to work this morning, the GPS worked and Android Auto worked well as the GPS from the phone was passed through.
I'll test it throughout the week and report back.

Strange my AVC6 update was just over 900MB couple days ago. Ah well!

I'm not sure there will be any real improvements to games. AVC6 just adds the ability to turn GOS off, but in anything remotely demanding it only leads to worse numbers.

AS far as i am aware the gos app reduces framerates etc of certain apps and games etc. to prevent overheating etc. But in reality, turning this off just allows the phone itself to do the same thing. and reports that are going arround say it's kinda pointless anyhow as the sustained performance will be worse due to heat ect ?

Frustratingly delivery day is today and it's still down as "Heading to your country". Nothing from DPD either to say it's despatched so suspect I'm going into the delayed group

That isn't how GOS really works. While it is a performance management system, it isn't a simple throttling mechanic. It combines a TDP target with a per application profiled scheduler. That last part is particularly important as it improves efficiency. For example, when you run a game which has been profiled, GOS knows how much of a CPU/GPU load it will be and it adjusts kernel scheduler settings in the background to try and maximise performance within the power target.
This is why when people where spoofing Geekbench as Genshin Impact to show how 'bad' GOS was it was just plain silly. GOS knows Genshin Impact is a very heavy GPU load, so it tries to hold the CPU clusters back to save as much power as possible for the GPU. That *is* better for the game, but once you start spoofing application IDs you break the logic.
Golden reviewer did a new GOS test which shows the exact behaviour you'd expect. With GOS off for the first 2 minutes performance is higher (and power consumption is doubled), but once the device thermally throttles the interesting data starts. For the remaining 8 minutes both GOS off and GOS on get the exact same frame rate, but GOS on delivers that performance at a lower average power draw. That's what an application specific scheduler gets you - maximised efficiency. You want that

Had this on since last night and must say my battery appears to be getting hammered more, I don't play mobile games.
Hopefully it settles down over the next few days, was fairly happy with performance etc before so this will annoy me if they've screwed battery for performance for everyone
My delivery date is today but I'm still on 'customization complete' which has been that way for just under a week now.Frustratingly delivery day is today and it's still down as "Heading to your country". Nothing from DPD either to say it's despatched so suspect I'm going into the delayed group

I've still heard nothing, have a non functioning DPD link on my Samsung order page, and that's it
Is yours the red phone?I've still heard nothing, have a non functioning DPD link on my Samsung order page, and that's it
So you at least have a link so it shouldn't be long.

Graphite 256.
When I ordered mine on the 13th Feb, it said 4 week wait for the Graphite, and 7 weeks for the Red!

Yeah they must have had a mass amount of orders for the Red, but it said 4 weeks for all colours when I ordered on 9th Feb.

Had an email saying Samsung have now received my S20 trade in. Just waiting for confirmation it all checks out but so far so good.
Soldato
Samsung promised an email update by COP today with an updated ETA due to delay but shock horror....no e-mail....
Although it's one of those things - stuff like this starts to take the shine off things somewhat.

Galaxy buds dispatched, what delivery company do they use?
Mine were delivered by Yodel.
tempted to trade in my s20 plus. I have a few cracks on screen, can’t feel them and can’t see them if there is content on phone. EE will give me £300 so £56 a month unlimited calls, txts, 100gb data, can upgrade after 15 days but have to pay upgrade fee when trade phone in and get Netflix, bt sports and few other things I can chose from so seems a good deal and the earbuds that they say are worth £200 not sure if they are really worth that much
i have s20 plus on upgrade scheme so next month I can give phone back and upgrade or pay £160 and keep the phone but if I returned it I would have to fix the screen I imagine while EE will take it. Just worried how quick the value of the s20 plus will decline and if cracks on screen get worse
