This, when you long press, it brings up the Google search bar. Wasn't there before the update.

I honestly don't recall seeing that after updating my S23 Ultra. If it was there, and I've somehow removed it I don't recall intentionally doing so.
 
Are there any bugs reported with recent update? Having few random glitches on various apps, I can't remove saved posts on Instagram, Google Maps wouldn't switch from map to satellite view, other weird glitches on HUKD app

Anyone able to recommend a screen protector? The official one seems to have been discontinued.

I ended up getting an IMBZBK tempered glass 3 pack for 8.99 off Ebay.
Quite an involved process to apply it but worked well and feels great compared to the official Samsung plastic one.
It has darkened the screen slightly but not an issue for me

I take it back, it's started delaminating already and just noticed I managed to glue my s-pen in :o

i've the same IMBZBK screen protectors (bought the 4-pack for £5.99 from amazon in nov 23), has been fine the last 7 months not even had to swap them lol
the only complaint i have is that the fingerprint sensor is a bit a lot more finicky

Mine updated to One UI 6.1 today. My main gripe was the bottom 3 buttons as well. I went into Display > Navigation bar and switched it to gestures to get rid of the buttons, but I can't 'flick' the bottom of the screen any more, left=task manager, middle=home, right=back. Flicking it now just takes me to home regardless to finger placement. I want to get the 3 left/middle/right gestures back.



What's the app for this please?

download samsung good lock from the samsung app store
then within the good lock app download navstar
it'll ask you for access to pictures etc but i did not grant access and still works
enable navstar
enable extra gestures settings
then go back to navigation bar in the android settings and hey presto

A heads up that the @tamzzy fix also worked for my tablet. I have the Tab S8 Ultra and yesterday it did the same update that our S23 phones did a while back and the above instructions are still good to go :-) So it's worth trying if you have a tablet and it's Samsung.
 
Anyone else had notification issues since the applying the July update?

I still get notifications and they appear, but the app icons don't show any notifications themselves like they used to(?)

Still does for me if you mean the orange dot with a number on the top right of an app icon.
 
Anyone seen these being sold new online from somewhere they'd trust?

Looking at a 256gb and can see a few around the 'zon for a bit over 500 and seem to be sold by them, Voda want £768 for one and showing out of stock.

Spoke to upgrade team and hung up very frustrated, language barrier with the numpty the other end and then he couldn't seem to grasp someone wanting to buy a handset sim-free and outright from them. He hung up on me when I asked to be transferred to cancellations - do you still get a better deal threatening to leave a network than getting options on an upgrade?

Which one are you interested in? S23, plus, or ultra?
 
Standard S23 with 256gb. Been offered one for £700 by Voda cancellation dept, seen someone on Reddit got one for £649 from them, bit annoying as been a Voda customer for 25+ years!

Found them on laptops direct BNIB for £549 so will probably go there, at least a vendor/shop I trust as have used them before for other things.
