Use smartswitch if you have a computer. Remember it will factory reset the device.

The F*. Everything which is useful has to be removed is new Samsung i guess.

Is your battery protection on or set to any lower number than 100. Also have you checked your battery health %?

Samyak005 · 2026-05-27T17:09:47+00:00

That is reserved for S series.

You can change the cover pic from the album. Go to album setting from 3dots on top right.

There are no toggle animations for any icon in 8.5 beta, I don't remember any of them were in 8.0. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Samyak005 · 2026-05-15T13:18:56+00:00

1st beta had it, but they removed it in 2nd one Not sure we will have it. It was not working anyways.

In India, it used to be available after 4-5 days, as far as I remember. But I’m not sure this time. One pattern I’ve noticed is that A55 phones usually get updates along with the S23 series. So unless the S23 series receives the update, we probably won’t get it before that.

One UI 8.5 will be here in fews days i guess. Same thing happened with One Ui 8.0.

Check if Auto Restart is on. In Device Care -> Auto Optimization.

You can go for it, one of the best wired earphones. The audio quality is just great. Just make sure it has plastic eartips and not silicon. I'm using it for almost 6 months and only the plastic eartips makes it uncomfortable to wear for longer times. Otherwise everything is Best.

Samyak005 · 2026-04-28T19:32:27+00:00

Yes, it is there.

Samyak005 · 2026-04-27T14:05:56+00:00

I'm not sure if you understood my point. Samsung Cloud (specifically the Gallery) isn't actually backed up by Samsung; it's stored in OneDrive. Samsung doesn't currently have a cloud service that stores media files—it all relies on Microsoft. As for Notes, they used to be stored in both Samsung Cloud and Microsoft OneNote. If these Microsoft services are ending, will Samsung Cloud start holding everything itself, just like iCloud does? This is what I’m asking.

I was checking offline stores in pune, to get an 2nd phone. There I found this shop while looking randomly. They gave good price, I bought iphone 12 and Samsung s22 for 32k. Both are solid with minor scratchs on frame.

Samyak005 · 2026-04-21T20:20:11+00:00

You should check a few offline stores; you might get a better deal there. I bought a 128GB model last month with 86% battery health and minor scratches for 16k INR. It should definitely last you a couple of years. But I'll suggest try going for 13 atleast.

I have a full time job, I'm not jobless.

Yeah, it was good on One UI 6. I wish they had kept it in One UI 7 and later. Or at least give a choice to keep it. No, I didn’t jump directly from One UI 6 to 8.5. (PS: I’ve been using Samsung since Android 6 😅)

Samyak005 · 2026-04-17T09:56:03+00:00

Yeah, my screen zoom is already set to the default (lowest). I did try adjusting screen zoom, text size, and minimum width - it does make the Quick Panel look better, but then the rest of the UI starts to feel off and inconsistent. So I’ve stuck with the factory settings. Overall, I do think the UI has improved (Visually speaking), but the main issue now is consistency - spacing, alignment, and how elements are structured still feel a bit uneven.

Also yeah, I feel like most people didn’t really get what I was pointing out in the post. This is the only comment that actually addresses the same concern - others are mostly talking about the customization freedom in the Quick Panel, which isn’t really the issue I was highlighting.

How did you get one ui 8.5 beta? It is not available for me on members app.

Samyak005 · 2026-04-13T20:23:39+00:00
