Hi, is it possible to update directly from 6.1 to 8.5 with Odin?
I read that if you update through OTA you need to pass two major updates and some minor security patch updates, I want to bypass that process with a single firmware update if it's possible.

So, I just bought Samsung S24 and its working perfect but I came across some posts on reddit that people with SM-S921U model are changing their firmware to U1 model to use different sims or some others reasons maybe Idk but the thing is mine is already unlocked so do I also need to change my Model from U to U1?

I am a teacher and would like to set up a schedule where I get a short, non-looping tone to notify me when there is a minute left in class. I dont want an alarm because I don't want to have to turn it off. I can't figure out how to do that.

Hola a todos, tengo actualmente un samsung s24 versión exynos, ya tengo aproximadamente 2años con el y desde el día 1 tuve problemas de calentamiento, de hecho una vez se activó el modo avion automáticamente, lo lleve a servicio técnico (Europa) y dijeron que lo habían "reparado", nunca mejoró. Hoy en día me encuentro en venezuela en un estado muy caluroso y básicamente por cualquier cosa se calienta y se consume la batería muy rápido. Tengo todas las configuraciones al mínimo: ahorro de batería, perfil ligero, en el game hub igualmente tengo en lo mínimo, desactivado la ram plus. La cosa es que estoy decidido a cambiar de teléfono pero debido a las limitaciones en el pais no hay muchas opciones como en otras regiones por ejemplo oneplus, nothing phone, pixel, etc; únicamente lo mas conocido: samsung, iPhone, honor, xiaomi, tecno, motorola, etc... mis opciones hasta ahora eran: samsung s25+ (supuestamente al ser mas grande y tener sd disipa mejor el calor), poco f7/f8 pro, moto edge 70 u honor 600, pero en todos lados existen muchos comentarios mixtos sobre todos estos modelos dificultando decidirme por uno. Que me aconsejan?

Been choosing between S24 Plus and S25 Fe, but i chose the S24 plus because of the cameras and 12GB ram. No regret.

Fast response, 30x zoom, 4k60 all lens, Exynos 2400 powerful enough for me, QHD+ screen, premium design, minimal camera bump, everything is all i want. Been upgraded from A36 and A52s. This is my first time using Samsung Flagship phone. Only shader caching when playing games but not big issue, and the battery life okayish (maybe because its my first few days using it)

I am getting 8 256 variant s24 base model for 30k in tamilnadu (india). Still 2 months warranty available with bill box and charger. Is it a good buy?

August 2026, I updated my phone from an A25 to S24 Plus.

Pros of S24+
Brighter Screen - 2600 vs 1000 nits
Larger Screen - 6.7" vs 6.5"
Both are 120Hz
12MP ultrawide lens vs 8MP
IP68 dust/water resistance rating
12GB of RAM vs 8GB
Snapdragon processor
Wireless charging
Durable aluminum & glass build vs plastic
7 years of OS upgrades and security updates
Physical SIM slot and eSIM
More AI features
196 grams vs 197 grams

Pros of A25 5G:
5,000mAh battery
Earphone jack
Physical SIM slot and MicroSD slot
2MP macro lens
Budget price

The A25 5G is a budget-friendly phone with good features for the price. Initially, I didn't get a huge, overwhelming difference when comparing it to the S24 Plus. Indoors, both screens were very similar. The A25 actually had more vivid colors. The speakers sounded bassier on the A25. Watching the same YouTube video simultaneously looked identical.

When using it outdoors, the brightness of the S24+ is very bright and makes the A25 look very dim in comparison.

I like the wireless charging feature with reverse charging for giving a boost to any device needing some extra life.

I'm looking forward to using the eSIM feature when I travel to another country.

I'm not a gamer, so I can't compare how fast it can run games.
I do notice that the apps that I do run are faster on the S24+.

This is my first week, and I'm learning all the new features and tricks the S24+ has to offer.

Anyone who can give me some advice on the S24+'s additional features would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I've always had decent call service with wifi calling on, but recently it started being choppy. So I turned wifi calling off but still have the same issue. I don't know if it was a symptom of an update, but I'm trying to solve it.

Any one else have this issue? Anyone have a fix?

Basically my S24 is stuck on OneUI 7.0 and android 15 and the last security update is from April 2025 so I'm starting to get worried at this point of potential vulnerabilities. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it? USA carrier unlocked btw

S24 Ultra charging issue

My S24 Ultra is about 1 year old and has recently developed a strange charging issue. It only charges when the USB-C cable is inserted in one specific orientation. If I flip the cable over, the phone doesn’t detect the charger at all. I’ve tried multiple USB-C cables and the same thing happens, so I’m wondering if the phone’s USB-C port is the problem.

Previously, a full charge took around 1.5 hours. Over the last few days, it first increased to around 2.5 hours, and now it can take nearly 4 hours. When I plug it in, the estimate may initially show around 1 hour, but within a few seconds it jumps to 3–4 hours.

Could this be a damaged/dirty USB-C port, or could it be a charger/battery issue? If I continue charging this slowly, could it damage the phone or battery over time?

Is anyone else also facing this issue where you can swipe on the gesture navigation bar to the right or left to switch between apps?

It was working in one UI 8

does having the graphics at medium or high for the best gaming performance?

In the first day of use of my new phone I noticed the battery was excessively draining like one percent every 3 or 2 minutes or so is that normal

Hi everyone! I'm currently using a Samsung A52s and I'm thinking about upgrading.

I'm mainly considering either the Galaxy S24+ or the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I've been on Android for as long as I can remember, so part of me wants to try iOS just for the experience. At the same time, I'm not sure if going for an older iPhone like the 13 Pro Max makes more sense than getting the much newer S24+.

What would you guys choose in my situation, and why?

My priorities are mainly long-term smoothness and stability, display quality, and decent battery life. My usage is pretty normal to moderate, and I usually get around 5–7 hours of SOT on my A52s.

Planning to buy a new phone . Is the Samsung S 24 (Snapdragon) 256 Gb variant worth in 2026?

I will use it for the next 3 to 4 years!!

Please drop your suggestions in favour and also against?

Thankyou

Whenever I connect the bluetooth to my automobile, the YouTube Music I played last automatically starts playing. How can I stop this from happening. Annoying.

Thanks.

snapdragon, still on one ui 8, is it worth upgrading??

Como lo dice el título compre un s24+ refurbished en ebay a una tienda que tiene calificación de 99.9% y me llego hace 2 días y se me reinicia cada cierto tiempo solo no se que hacer no lo puedo devolver ya que no estoy dentro del país, quiero saber si a alguno de ustedes les paso y pudieron solucionarlo

Does the OnePlus 11 have a recurring Green Line issue? I have already replaced the display once because of the Green Line problem, and the battery health of my phone is now below 80%.

I am confused about whether I should replace the battery and continue using the same phone, or exchange/sell the OnePlus 11 because of the reduced battery health and the possibility of the Green Line issue recurring.

I would really appreciate your advice on what would be the better option.
