Some people are sensitive to flickering from OLED screens, because of PWM. You can google it, it's a pretty well established problem.

It can happen after prolonged use (example - hours of non stop gaming) of digital screens (smartphones, tablets, PCs etc.). If it's unusual eyestrain with nausea or giddiness then get your orthoptic evaluation done.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
Can't believe I did this, sold my Nots 20 Ultra and got an S21 U today.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Welcome back to the S21U. Hope you don't have the pink tint issues on the new one.

Just out of curiosity, what made you change your mind and buy the S21U again?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
Truth be told I got bored of the note 20 ultra. Plus it wasn't as comfortable to hold on the hand as the s21u.

The pink issue isn't an issue. Originally it was color shift, but it's a bit better now. Thanks for asking.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
To have less weight and thickness than the cases, applied gadgetshieldz skin and feels like a good one. Wish it had some more grip.

The SIDE-skin(that covers the frame) wasn't properly aligned with speaker grill, charging port, volume rocker etc. Gadgetshieldz provided no support(asked for re-shipment+handling charges costing same as buying newly from the site) when requested for a replacement. So had to buy again.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Latest update rolling out in India now. Just got the notification.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Almost a GB of data and there's nothing new in the changelog. Samsung being Samsung🙂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Yeah. Sneaky fellows didn't even mention the new performance profiles under Battery settings. 😂😂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It is similar to 3.1.1 of fold device but with same code 3.1

Hi! Do you have samsung's native call recorder with indian firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Yes I do.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Has anyone noticed any changes in the way video calls are handled from default dialer app? Earlier it allowed you to choose default video calling app as either native video call app or duo. I had set it as duo and it was a one click job after that. But after the last update, that setting has been removed. Now you have to choose default video call app for every contact individually. Even if you do that, if you try video calling from recents tab, it always uses native video call app, never duo, even if you've set it as default for a contact. I don't understand why they would break a perfectly working feature?

Can anyone else confirm this please? India specific.

Guys... Anyone planning on getting Watch 4? I've pre-booked it and the store is giving me an offer of 9k for my 1 yr old active 2! I'll also be getting 3k cashback and 6K Samsung voucher which can be used to redeem 1 of 3 options... Wireless charger pad duo and 1 band (for additional 549, which I'm getting) or 2 bands (for 500 additional) or galaxy buds pro (for 6000 additional). What's your opinion about the watch? I saw the thing and loved it instantly but whether I'm happy or not, I'm not sure. The only reason why I'm getting this is in the hope of huge app eco system and gboard for replying, maps built in the watch, more storage and therefore YouTube music! I hope I didn't make a mistake of having to chip in additional 15k for something I'll regret as watch active 2 was one of the biggest tech regrets I have!😓
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
I wouldnt ever trust a samsung device anymore.

Will switch back to apple in near future.

The optimization isnt there on samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
What's your regret with the Watch Active 2?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
A. Buying at full price

B. Apps not being there

C. Keyboard being t9

D. No Google apps

E. No assistant (atleast Google assistant will come as update in future for watch 4)

F. Storage not being there that I can't do anything with it. If I use more storage the watch slows down to a halt!

Among others!😅

Hi,

Is anyone having issues during receiving/making calls after the recent 1GB update?

In my case the audio suddenly stops midway during calls.

Just want to check if it's a common issue or something wrong with my handset.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Didn't face anything like that post that build as well as after the latest update. Approx 30 mins of calls I get regularly.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amitbhatt89:
No issues observed so far

Yes i have the same issue, i thought it was a problem with my carrier, but when i am reading your comment, i think the problem is from the phone software !!!

Is anyone having an issue with the Android Auto continously disconnecting. Been having the issue for the last couple of months and seems to getting worse.

I read somewhere a fix was supposed to come out but has been fully silent since then.

The car unit connects to the Samsung tablet fine with the cable. The phone keeps disconnecting. Anyone has a solution please do share.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sam142000:
As per my observation, turning WiFi calling off has sort of removed the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kumar abhishek:
It seems like only samsung india is yet to begin registrations for beta update. Why so late?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
From previous experiences with samsung betas, wait till the second beta or even the third (in this case we'll get it first) to have beta open in India! I am on one ui 4 beta right now (sideloaded it) and you'll regret when you see what's there as of now! Just wait closer to the build after 12 officially releases and from then most probably there will be a small ui change (I hope)

Any immediate changes apparent to you?

Got it , thanks for the highlight.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
No bud. I generally get to see such apparent changes AFTER some1 tells first. I'm that ignorant. 😇
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Samsung health did this nice looking step count, no I wasn't counting. 😀
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Despite of not using any case, the Ultra still feels big and uncomfortable to me.

I got to check the iP13 Pro for 2 days and the small size simply feels way more comfortable without compromising on batterylife at all which is very rare or nil in the contemporary world of Android. Though I do not have other issues with the limitations of iOS, not having a native call recording app and other apps' cumbersome 3 way conference using 3rd party servers is the reason I simply cannot make it a daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Veestaai:
I am also thinking of switching to iPhone. The minor stutters and lags in the ui are the main reason to make the switch. iPhones are better optimized overall. The sideloading of apps has been preventing me to make the switch.

S21U definitely feels heavy when one handles a normal sized phone.

Don't the paid call recorder apps work in iPhones?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I agree with you about the easy size of the iPhone 13/Pro. The iP13ProMax is a brick but the other two sizes are damn near perfect.

The problem is that they come with iOS. I've tried to love it, but I can't stand it... No access to file system. Horrible notification management. Only plays nice with other apple products. No ownership of device: Apple still owns the phone even after you pay for it, it's basically renting a phone from them. It's beautiful hardware with locked down software, that works very very well (as long as you do as you're told to use it by Apple) 🍎. Also, there's is no 'jugaad' for everything as in Android. If apple doesn't allow it, you can't do it on your device. This can be both a strength and a weakness, depending on the user. For me, it's a big weakness.

Wish we could have the iPhone hardware and the ease of use of Android's software. But alas, that's not the world we live in.

I had an iPhone for 2 years - it worked perfectly, but bored me to death. Like a dumb trophy wife - beautiful to hold, but no good for an intelligent conversation. That boring experience make me switch over to Android once again.

So for now, I guess I have to stick with this phone. Maybe in 2 years, I'll look at things differently again.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Rattlesnake3:16:
I recently tried out the iPhone 13 Pro Max at a store for a few minutes and honestly, I found it to be lighter to handle than my S21 Ultra. Despite the YouTubers claiming it to be bulkier than the 12 Pro Max, it didn't feel cumbersome at all to me. However, I do prefer the S21 Ultra's rounded corners slightly more.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Animation issue has reportedly been resolved with OneUI 4.x. Hope micro stutters are gone as well, if any.

Totally agree that it's heavy and one hand usage is a pain as well.

Even if you use those paid apps, due to Apple's so called privacy the apps cannot have direct access to the calling app/mic and hence the process of getting it done in unusually weird to say the least. Add to it the subscription fees and instantly it makes the Android phone a dear one.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Has the oneui beta programme launched for s21 ultra in india?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Agree with you & can completely understand.

I wasn't able to stand it at all too bcoz of the reasons you mentioned above but those are the times gone by, for me, though not entirely for sure..

Having been less and less interested in customization over the years, being around with a few Apple devices(+the accessories) lately and hence not fearing about the ecosystem it forcefully needs for a "fuller experience", I am OK with this boring device when I end up using an iPhone. Don't get to record calls as desired and so the important sim never goes in.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Veestaai:
I am with you on this. Used to try out different roms and other root stuff to get the best out of the device. Over the years, I look back and boy was that a waste of time.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
True , even i look for a great stock experience.

I get irritated how android works.

For connecting my watch active 2 to my s21 ultra it has to keep multiple apps open like the plugins , accessory service etc etc and they all come up in notifications panel which irritates me.

Iphone over the years is so much reliable, you just buy it and forget it .

Third party apps and third party camera apps are so much better optimized.

Also The battery on iphone 13 series is crazy with the 13 pro max going up to 12 hours of sot with medium usage .

And dont forget the cpu / gpu upgrade ..

Oh my my , the gpu is crazy with a15 chip
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Yes.

With the "ZUJ1" build.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sam142000:
Samsung will not honour warranty claims if your phone has the beta software.

It's one of the clauses.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Is this the beta 2 version?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Updated to the latest beta .

If anybody wants to clear any doubt before updating can let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amitbhatt89:
Any data loss

UPI apps are working

Any app errors

Other bugs noticed
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
No data loss as of now...

Upi i have to check when i make the next payment ..

No app errors as of now .

Edit : i have checked upi is working fine for me

I feelSome minor hiccups here and there with the ui and animations. Nothing major .
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
The iPhone 13 pro max over ten hours screen on time easily with over 30% batter left. . That os and hardware are well unison.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Indeed.

No standby drain and so it's a two day phone on moderate use. The size, weight and form factor altogether of this big boy isn't for me though.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Veestaai:
13 pro would be perfect for people like us who feel s21u is too heavy, but also need the pro features. Battery life would be similar to that of the ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Look at the battery stats with the android 12 beta 2 .

I think ill end my day with 8 hours sot.

This is the best battery i have seen till date on my s21 ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Hey guys .

Anyone here who has used oneplus 9 pro ?

How is the experience as compared to s21 ultra exynos.

I am getting bored with s21 ultra and willng to make a switch.

The only options i am seeing are oneplus 9 pro or iphone 13 pro
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
If you've already shortlisted those two phones, then the choice is pretty simple: It will depend on whether you want Android or iOS.

These phones are not just a bunch of hardware, rather vehicles for their respective operating systems and ecosystems.

It's difficult to compare them head on, as just 'phones'

If you can live with the shortcomings of iOS, then go for the iPhone. OnePlus 9P would only be a better choice for two reasons:

1. Way cheaper than the iPhone 13Pro

2. You can't stand iOS and want/need Android
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Umm yes i have shortlisted these devices.

I cant stand ios as its way more optimized and i am not doing any kind of themes or customization even with the s21 ultra.

Price is not an issue , i want a device which i can rely on every single time.

I am not sure about how the oneplus 9 pro fares against the s21 ultra.

Major problem with my s21 ultra - Minor here and there hiccups in ui , not so good animations , heating while gaming , throttling followed by lags and stutters.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
You'll have similar experience on the OP9 Pro. You've basically listed out issues with the SD888, and general state of Android flagships currently. From what I know, you'll see the exact same issues on the OP9Pro if not worse (esp battery life, thermals, throttling, camera etc). But this is based on what my OnePlus toting friends have told me. I don't own a OP9Pro so take that with a pinch of salt.

If money is not an issue, just get one of each and see what floats your boat.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Heheh . I am ready to invest in 1 device ..

Iphone xs max was the only device that i could hold for 2 years without any single issue except battery and charging.

But the current gen iPhone 13 pros are beast of a battery and charging has improoved as well.

Btw i am getting a value of 60k for my 6 month old s21 ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Then just sell it and get the iPhone 13 Pro. Pretty simple choice if you can live with iOS.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
I was never 100% satisfied with s21 ultra.

After installing the android 12 beta i started hating it .

Have currently rolled back to android 11

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] drtushar:
Very well put buddy. I too keep shifting ios and android.

Presently using iphone 13 pro as my main devise and S21U as an extra. I miss trucaller, sms organizer and call recording a lot.

But the refineness of ios is too good. Plus already have an iwatch, ipad and mac..

So the seamless integration is too good.

The way my iwatch unlocks the phone even on having the mask full on is just buttery smooth.

My 2 cents 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] drtushar:
Friends I am on one UI 4.0 beta version 1.

Have not received version 2 or the latest 3.

Will I get the next beta update OTA or have to flash it manually?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It depends on how you installed first beta, If you haven't not registered officially beta programme and sideloaded first beta manually then you have to do same for all subsequent betas.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] drtushar:
I have done by enrolling through Samsung members app and got an OTA. But I'm still on version 1 of the beta. Has version 2 been released in 🇮🇳
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Which version showing in about phone? If you were updated from ZUIC base to UJ1 then you have received direct second beta and third yet not released. You will receive through OTA when available.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes, you are already on latest beta (You will receive 2 beta if your firmware on sept base when registered and receive one beta when you were on Oct firmware when registered. It shows you were on Oct firmware while registering), you will receive next beta when available.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] drtushar:
Thank you 😊

Did anyone install Indian beta 2? How is the stability? Have heard horrific things from Korean users. They released a hotfix for the Korean users to fix important issues after the beta.

Hey Guys, Long time! Hope everyone is fine and safe

I have a question, should i go for S21 Ultra or should wait for S22? Currently using Oneplus 8 pro.

Amazon has SD 888 version of S21 ultra too for 99k.

Are you all using SD version or Exynos?

How is the battery life on Exynos?

How about charging speed since S21 is stuck at 25w

monday 25th
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:

How you guys are going to manage the charging adapter? On Samsung Shop it's out of stock now, same case for Amazon, Flipkart, Croma and Tatacliq !

I had plan to order it but now it's too late !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Everybody at home uses Samsung 25w charger, will be managing it with them.

I will get my own very soon, but I dont see a necessity to get one right away.

No microsd card problem kinda solved with 512GB variant,

No MST for Samsung Pay in India is a hole that cannot be plugged. Why Samsung? :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I foolishly bought 2 extra 45w chargers last year for the Ultra which I never got 😂😂😂

Finally they'll be put to use. If Samsung pickup only the phone like apple does and let's me keep the box contents then icing on the cake 😋
