As the main title says it launched here in Czech Republic.

I'm scared a little bit from what I've read so far.

Cansei de verdade

18 Upvotes

Atualizei meu s23 hoje pra One UI 9 e fiquei decepcionado. Primeiro que estava extremamente bugado, tive que esperar minutos até o celular voltar ao normal.

Consigo notar inconsistências nas animações, nos detalhes e falta de capricho.

Poxa vida, essa cor horrorosa no modo escuro nos aplicativos do Google. Esse conflito do material you com One UI.

Parece uma grande bagunça mal otimizada.

Tudo precisa configurar, tudo precisa personalizar.

Não tem simplicidade. É atolando de coisas sem melhorar as existentes.

É a última atualização, não vai ser uma boa herança. Eu perdi completamente a esperança de uma renovação, uma otimização. A cada ano que passa eu percebo que a Samsung realmente não escuta os seus usuários e não se importa com design e consistência.

Desisto.

A bateria do meu S23 tá estufada com 2 anos de uso.

• Upvotes

Tenho um S23 da Samsung e sempre fui de cuidar da bateria, só tem marcas de uso nas laterais e um quebradinho (tipo um fio de cabelo) na lente, que foi bem antes desse acontecimento.

NUNCA gostei de usei carregador de outras marcas (tirando a Ugreen e a Anker)

Eu sempre usei carregador da caixa original, porém começou a fazer um zumbido alto na fonte, achei que era normal, então continuei usando.

(obs: SEMPRE cuidei do carregador.)

Daí, meu celular começou a desligar em 5%, 13, e até 17 DO NADA.

(obs: isso aconteceu em 2 CELULARES que usava o mesmo carregador.)

Daí só troquei o carregador e cabo pra um da Ugreen e pra mim, tava tudo bem, depois percebi minha tampa um pouco aberta, daí descobri que era a bateria.

Fui pesquisar a fundo e várias pessoas relataram que em 2 anos isso aconteceu, o estranho é que quase todos falaram que foi em 2.

E no Samsung Members também relatam muito carregador original fazendo zumbido.

Agora não sei mais oque fazer.

Estou tentando se resolver com a dona Sam.

Got the dreaded GREEN LIine issue 😓

23 Upvotes

After using the phone very carefully and ensuring the software update(s) are done right infront of an AC, I happened to get the green line today.
The phone shut down as the battery was ‘0’. I put the phone for charging and the moment I turned it ON there it was ! 😒
With the fear of heating and not so useful feature updates I didn’t even update the phone beyond 8.0 in last one year; yet this happened today. No physical damage either.

I am just 3 months away from the phone turning 3 years. Just wanted to know if the free ONE TIME SCREEN REPLACEMENT program is still valid and how much time do they take to fix it? I was thinking to get the battery replaced as well while they open the device (current health is 83%).

P. S.: I have the invoice of the phone and purchased in India itself.

S23 ultra: green flickering screen

3 Upvotes

Hey all,

I was trying to disable some features on my phone in the galaxi ai settings. I accidentally pressed download transcript assist, after which my phones screen immediately turned back and then flashed staticy green all over my screen. I hit the lock screen button in a panic and it stopped.

It seemed to be resolved but just now when I tried to unlock my phone, the screen turned black and just the top part of my screen got the staticy green flashing, and then it stopped allowing me to use my phone as normal.

Does anyone have any idea what that might be and how to resolve it?

Make S23 Great Again

0 Upvotes

If you have a claude subscription, try to enable developer menu in your phone, then turn on usb debug and wireless debug in it. And ask claude to connect to your phone and remove unnecessary services, trackers and optimize everything, you'll be surprised how faster you phone will be.

For example if you have an amazon app, it also has an invisible app, that runs in the background to send you spam notifications.

P.S. works with android smart TVs too

It may just be me, but my phone seems dimmer after the update. Brightness is all the way up but it just seems noticeably dimmer now. Anyone else having this issue?

Stand by improved (ONEUI 8.5)

12 Upvotes

I was getting a horrible 2.5%/h drain on standby and managed to get it down to 0.8%/h using BBS reloaded to find the culprits.

  • Realized the wearable app was constantly waking up the phone trying to connect to my watch that I barely use only for swimming -> Turned of BT and that wake lock vanished. I know this is not the best solution but I found no other way to prevent it.
  • Instagram was consuming data on the background even when it was put to sleep. I installed IG lite and that stopped.
  • Also I noticed that google messages (sms app) was almost constantly waking up the phone so I removed the app and switched to Samsung messages.

Hope this can help someone else having similar problems.

Green Line

6 Upvotes

​

I got a green line in my s23 , it started with a single green line a month ago and have 3 lines. Its devastating and reached a samsung service center, they said, they have to perform 2 hours of lab test to decide if free change or paid change. Also, they highlighted, if any small rust or water footprint then no chance of free replacement. The paid cost is around INR15K.

Also, the battery health is not good, every day, I have to charge multiple times.

I have decided to move out of samsung and purchase a oneplus or ios phone.

Any experience of green line issue and solution?

Age of phone :2.6years

S23 base users, what would you upgrade to if you wanted to stick with a compact phone?

60 Upvotes

My S23 is about 2.5 years old and still works great, but I'd like to hear some recommendations in case I decide to upgrade.

I really like compact phones, and iOS is completely out of the question for me. I want to stick with Android.

I believe the newer Samsung models come with Exynos chips, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm also ruling out the S24–S26 because, to me, they're basically more of the same compared to the S23.

What about the base S27? Do you think it'll still be compact? I guess we'll have to wait and see if it's actually worth upgrading to.

What would you guys recommend?

battery issues

6 Upvotes

I think the S23 was the best compact phone of its year; even today, I consider it an excellent device. However, I’ve recently started experiencing some issues with the battery.

Ever since I’ve owned this phone, once it hits 5% battery, it lasts for less than a minute—and I’m not exaggerating. I’ve mostly ignored this, as I just rush to find a charger.

Lately, though, other problems have cropped up. When the battery drops to 12% or lower, the phone slows down, and as it gets even lower—around 5%—it becomes practically UNUSABLE. It gets incredibly sluggish: the camera won’t open, or the interface just freezes, and the performance becomes worse than that of an entry-level device. Today, when it reached 5%, the screen started flickering while I was typing, eventually going completely black—though the phone itself remained active. Also, the other day, while I was taking photos (with about 30% battery left), the device started lagging and eventually shut down, showing 0% charge.

Is this normal?

It takes around 1.5 hours to fully charge from 20 percent. I bought my S23 in nov 2024.

Is there a way I can get the regular media player instead of the now bar one?

Is that possible in the oneui 8.5 for galaxy s23? I don't really like the music to be on the now bar. I want it to be front and centre as a notification as it was before. Any way I can do that!
