The October Update seems to have ferked up the firewall app called NetGuard.
Whenever I switch to WiFi, the app rapidly switches on/off for around 30 seconds to a minute, until it settles down.
So there's intermediate traffic until it works again.
Hopefully, the November update will fix it.

Been using this gcam camera mod with config on my gs23+ and it's ridiculous how much better the photo quality is over stock camera....
I used it a few years agon on the S21 but it did not have major improvements. slower and a lot more work thank the base Samsung.
How much better has it gotten ? does it work a lot better more seamless now ?
what's the difference between LMC version and AGC 9.1
I did the same with my s21 too and found the same but this version is noticeably better for colours and dynamic range etc. so seems like this has come a long way since. The config profile seems to be the main thing that helps/makes a difference. Worth giving a go, literally only takes 2 minutes to install the apk then load the config profile. There is a comment in that Reddit thread for other s23 devices and the config profiles.
Will still use the stock Samsung app for video recording though.
Which is a good config to go for ? they have a few.
I have only tried the recommended one, this one:
apk - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-BigKaka/f/dl73/3/
javasabr config - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/random/2024/JavaSaBr_S23_AGC92v13_v52.html
I think I might switch from the medium profile to the natural profile though as notice some sharpening artifacts with medium (still less than stock samsung camera app though)
Good summarisation on the camera profiles onces you have loaded the config:

Probably going to give it a miss this year, doesn't seem like anything is worthwhile upgrade, more like a sidegrade, that and we will be getting one ui 7 in Feb. That and since using the above gcam modded camera app, very happy with the camera now.
Looks like same main camera sensor, same charging speeds so really just usual little faster, little brighter affair.
Visually slight change in shape but not worth it for me, have a feeling next one will probably have more meaningful upgrades so be one to get.

I've got one in the household, it depends on trade-in values for me to get a better screen, faster CPU, more RAM, two years more updates and that's about it

I've got an S23U and can't see why I'd upgrade tbh. I'm not a gamer and the camera upgrades aren't likely to be staggering. The only thing I don't like about the S23U is the crappy video quality in low light and battery life is just OK.
Having said that Samsung will probably roll out some crazy upgrade deal when it's sales are disappointing that might convince me.

no upgrade for me, my upgrade cycle is roughly every 4 years or so anyway
i previously went from a s10 lite to the s23, and bar the lower battery life (4500mah s10 lite vs 3600mah s23) i'm very happy with the s23
whilst im not doing anything major, the "feel" and snappiness was tangible with the upgrade
there's nothing improved that i need/require, and i don't buy into all this ai bs malarkey

Same here, I used to upgrade every gen until the S23 came along, which I am still very happy with. As others have said, unless Sammy come out with a ridiculous trade-in deal that is too good to resist I will probably be sticking for another year.
Haha yes, that was why I got my s23 in the first place. Else would've carried on with my S10 lite.
I also sold my S10 lite for £180 (iirc) so was basically quids inAnybody in search of a 128GB S23 (contract) this is fire!
£543
Less £100 cashback
+ earbuds (sell for £80)
+ 12m Disney+ (sell for £40)
£323 (£360 ish after mid-contract price rises) for a S23 + 100GB 24mth contract
Less £12/mth for the contract and the phone is basically £35 lol
Yes I've given in to temptation and bought it even though I don't need it lol
Well they did it, after they announced the £200 trade-in deal I caved and upgraded 
The pre-order offers and codes meant all meant I got the S25 256gb for £379, so after selling on the free buds and my old s23 128gb it should end up costing me ~£100.
