Huh...I don't see **** ...everything is just dark...no transparency no blur...

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Actually I was focusing on the notification shade. That's all black when dropped down...but yes the other stuff are as you have mentioned. And yes the phone is totally different when disabled...however much it is bugged, I really feel this blur is a very nice touch

Notification shade and some contextual menus are the the only system parts without transparencies.

In every case the blur effect (which I also consider beautiful) on One Ui is terribly buggy.

 

[adamlee2012]

Nah...there are other brands that included blur on most parts of their UI, without lags or weird battery drains.

See ColorOS for example.

Hopefully Android 13 is a major improvement, I'd rather see performance and design changes rather than new features which Samsung are notorious for! Have any of you ever used EMUI? It's absolutely perfect really battery efficient, performance is amazing, stutter free UI.

They must fix it before next One Ui. This situation it's simply a shame.

Test build gone from E3 to E5 to E7 in less than a week, something is near.

They better fix all these bugs and poor optimisation. But sadly they probably won't

Atleast if they fix the annoying gesture lags,idk if they will LMAO because it is here for a while and it became worse and worse especially when u try to exit from a game
these lags can happen even with normal apps (it becomes something like 60hz)
if someone look at my phone in the moment it lags the can swear that i have an a51 (my friend has a51,it lags terribly,even for a midrange phone)

Guys in last update scrolling is a disaster. In most apps, scrolling happens at different speeds and this speed increases and decreases.force 120hz doesn't fix this. While on my mi pad5(tested on android 11 and 13 beta) the scrolling is great. We have to report this to Samsung in huge number

I have flashed the latest firmware from Spain. Fresh install.

But I always have to flash the updates using Odin. Why can't I use online checking and wireless updates?

Are you waiting for your country to get the update then checking on tour phone and don't see the update? Or are you checking your phone when someone here says ther is an update rolling out?

No, what's happening is that once I've got a firmware installed, I can't get OTA updates.

Is there a way to get updates without having to manually install them every time?

 

[gaston_garcia]

I'm from Costa Rica, but we have extremely slow updates. So I've been using Spain's firmware. But I have to manually install them.

Is this the only way?

You can change your CSC using Samkey to the Spanish one and once your on the same firmware as Spain you'll get OTA updates from then on. Search XDA and you'll see how to use Samkey, it's pretty easy

 

[R_eliks]

Finally OTA CVDD to XID, I just don't know why it looks like an update from OneUI 4.0 to 4.1 ...

 

[adamlee2012]

I think CVE7 will be June patch, tab s7+ just got the June patch

Man... after all these time and updates the device keeps lagging and the battery drain is horrible, I have to charge it in the middle of the day..I think this is my last Exynos device and samsung, I'll try to give apple a shot since my wife is using 13 pro max and she has 6 SOT at 60% battery which is crazy

Yes if battery life is your main priority,. Don't use Samsung.
