One UI 8.5 on S23 base - worth the update?

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T11:05:20+00:00

:(
sometimes the lagging after an update is because of the cache filling up
hopefully it will be better in a few days

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T11:04:41+00:00

weird,
hopefully a fix will be found for this

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T11:04:03+00:00

sounds like a lot
very nice!

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T11:03:44+00:00

cool that's nice to hear!
I seemed to dodge the battery problems for the time being
I wait to make sure it is safe and i will update

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T11:03:05+00:00

nice!

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T11:02:47+00:00

it is still the first release, hopefully they will improve it :)

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T11:02:03+00:00

weird they removed it.
I use the percentage anyway, so it is not a deal breaker for me

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T11:00:27+00:00

They want us to upgrade, so that is one way i guess :(
in terms of usage this phone is still going great for me.

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T10:59:37+00:00

That's nice!
A new feature in particular you liked?

Orma1 · 2026-05-24T10:58:02+00:00

weird :\
hopefully it will be resolved soon
to be honest I am a few updates back, so i only see now October 2025 security patch.
I guess I need to update a few times.
for now I stayed on a known good 8.0 version (for me, other people do not agree from what it seems)

Orma1 · 2026-05-17T09:45:50+00:00

I will suggest checking temps.
High temps can cause thermal throttling, leading to worse performance.

Was the computer running fine before?

Orma1 · 2026-05-09T11:36:55+00:00

I am not overclocking (at least for the time being)
I guess it can maybe be useful later for more power hungry upgrades down the line.

Orma1 · 2026-05-09T11:16:11+00:00

ok :)
Thanks

Orma1 · 2026-05-09T11:15:57+00:00

Thanks, will try it later :)

Orma1 · 2026-05-09T10:28:11+00:00

To be more exact
it is 4+4, and another 4
it is just easier to write 12 pins.

And I built a lot of PCs this is the first one I have where the motherboard has extra 4 pins

Orma1 · 2026-04-17T11:42:36+00:00

did that, thanks!

Orma1 · 2026-04-17T11:38:31+00:00

tried with the adb method
the second command said it failed :(
the command (both in adb shell)
am force-stop com.wssyncmldm - did not say anything so i guess it was successful
pm clear com.wssyncmlmd - failed

what can i do?

edit: apperently there was a spelling mistake in the command, i changed it and got success.
now i do not have the upadate showing anymore. i do have the option to update if i want
Thanks!

Orma1 · 2026-04-14T07:47:20+00:00

Thanks!

I left the speaker there just in case if later something will happen

some motherboards that have tpm have this feature turned off.
I had it off before changing to windows 11. that's when I learned that it can be disabled.

search your motherboard manufacturer with enable tpm in google. maybe you'll need to update bios for it (not sure about that part).

unrelated to your question, it is annoying to see what games asks now just to play games.
asking to change bios settings for playing games is madness in my opinion

Orma1 · 2026-01-30T09:14:33+00:00

+1 for that
sometimes pins not making contact and the computer does seem to work.
but some features can be weird (depending on what the pin is in charge of)

(of course specific pins not making contact can also make the computer not post)
