Thanks for your replies. I did some testing and here is what I have found. I ran a series of 10 tests in each situation and tossed out the high and low and averaged the rest.

First, changed the DNS server and that made quite a difference in the "Location" time but of course did nothing for the down speed.

Second, with DSLreports Mobile speed test using 1 MB block, I found that PIE was twice as fast as the NetFront browser that I was using. The same was true loading large pages such as CNN.com. Darn, I really liked NetFront. I will have to try some other browsers.

Third, I found that using software and header compression made no difference.

Speeds last night around 1am were avg around 145k, today at 12pm the are avg around 700k with PIE and 325k with NetFront, go figure.

What is the WINS address and would it help to change it?

Can I change to a better access point? [mine is wap.singular]
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Ehsanur Rahman:
Hi,

I bought a redmi note 9 pro from a friend and he did experimented on it so I saw a unlock logo while booting. Unfortunately I thought locking the bootloader by flash all lock will help this account password thing to never show up. I guess I'm locked up. Is there any way to bypass this lock even I have the bootloader locked? Please help.

Note:

1. locked bootloader

2. Mi account password is unknown

3. Bypassing not working on locked bootloader.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] seidnejmy:
I am Having the same problem. have you fixed it yet?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] ebi02:
You need to download FRP Bypass Xiaomi and flash it via fastboot.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] FuUFigther:
Hey,

I would be interested to know if you were able to solve the problem? so I have the same problem! :/
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
You can post what you feel about the update here .

For me

1) qr code in camera app is way faster

2) camera doesnt heat up the phone now

3) gaming also runs cooler

4) animations are better

5) expect an sot of 1h more than you got with april update.

Looking for more changes ..

Tell me in comment .

I think samsung is doing a great job ,

I was about to trade off my s21 ultra with mi 11 ultra , but this update has stopped me doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Khalid Madkour:
I can't wait until my phone recieve the update.

This is so promising that samsung still fixing and adding new features every month.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
I would say a 10% better everything even though it might be a placebo. All running smooth. Used the camera a lot today for pics and videos. Youtube, browsing and etc, and now 3:33 SOT and battery at 46%. I guess that may be a tad better than before. Camera seems better too somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
I think they are moving towards apple kind of ecosystem and software.

And if they can do that , i am not leaving samsung for as long as they maintain that .

They still need to work on animations , accidental touches, and 60-120 hz management in some apps
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I think you were about to shoot yourself in the foot, and saved yourself! :P

AUDA or no AUDA, that would have been a bad sauda. :D

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cheekrox:

View attachment 5297197

View attachment 5297203First full day with May's update. I did a clean install via Odin since it was the second update in a row of over 1GB.

Everything is running smoothly. Battery I think is maybe 5-10% better but have to give it a few days. Can't comment on the camera yet. Usage is on WiFi, 120Hz, FHD+.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Bidyadhar:
Is it officially out for india?? I haven't got it yet!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] master_class:
It is official

It's officially out for India, however the OTA rollout seems to be taking some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gehnna74:
something wrong with european Updates (less DBT). No Spain, Uk, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gehnna74:
Try Frija, its very fast to download it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gehnna74:
wise advice. I only use one time to install PHE before change CSC, then always wait for OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cheekrox:
OKay, will wait it out then. Last month I received the update on April 9th; so this time I presume it will be similarly timed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bmonteiro:
I'm able to achieve 10hours Sot (48 hours cycle) on this release, prior to that the sot was in the 8/9 hours. I mostly use browser, youtube, youtube music and ocasional gaming (Wild Rift)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
On Vodafone model in UK so I expect it will be a couple of weeks before I get this but it sounds like it makes what is already one of the best phones money can buy even better.

Great to see Samsung get the Exynos up to near Snapdragon levels of quality at last.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jamesbilluk:
Unlocked exynos UK here, no sign of the update yet. I've read it improves the shutter response, which would be great!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
It really does improve the shutter lag!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jamesbilluk:
Nice! Very much looking forward to getting the update now.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Photo processing seems better too.

Look at this photo I took today. It's sharp, detailed and HDR is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
For me, AUE1 seems better overall.

Specifically, the stand-by drain has reduced significantly.

I spent this weekend mostly watching TV and playing games, so wasn't using the phone heavily.

Was surprised that i got two and a half days of use on a single charge with 5+ hours of screen time.

The SOT is nothing to write home about (for a single day's use, it ranges from 6-7 hrs nowadays - up from the 5-5.5 hours in the first month), but I've never had such low standby drain on this phone before. That's where I'm pleased to see a significant improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
AUE1 is better than AUDA in every aspect.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
I guess I wrote my comment a bit too soon. I stand corrected. It seems there was a stupid rogue app screwing with the battery. Blasted it out from my phone and all's well!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Which app was it?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
There was a music app which was running in the background for no reason...Good riddance
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
I only use Samsung Music and Spotify. All I need.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Exynos AUE1.

Glad Samsung managed to bring the exynos on par...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] GeeAyeZee:
Try using something like root explorer app to change the permissions of the folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jamesbilluk:
That looks great, really sharp image. Are you on Exynos? I've seen some videos where the screen animations look smoother too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Yeah it's really sharp. Yes S21 Ultra Exynos. The device is really smooth
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jamesbilluk:
Brilliant :) Fingers crossed it comes through soon!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Just go custom bud, totally worth it... KETANS ROM is pretty fly.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Better flashing the firmware with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Won't you lose warranty by doing that?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] OPOmaniac:
Can you confirm y'all that animations are much better now ? I am waiting just for this. They're so slow compared to my previous OnePlus phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Some people report of better animations.

For me they are similar to the previous update .

Oneplus being the stock android and focusing just on performance will always have better animations .
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Well overall yeah but who cares. If your phone works fine by now, it is unlikely that some defect would turn up later. And realistically the pros of CUSTOM are more than cons.

Just personal opinion though. I only wait about a week after getting a new phone before I root and go custom. Stock just does click with me. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Just update bud, AUDA is definitely better than April's. Surely faster and better battery life and the camera is also improved. Nothing to be considering so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tim84us:
still nothing in the UK

is very odd that they just didnt release anything in UK yet - normally is thru the first markets, and even so its been out for a week now in some markets

I wonder what is the hold up - they forgot to press launch button? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] madvinegar:
Excellent edge detection in portrait.

Animations much much smoother.

Battery life is better.

Good job Samsung with this update.

Flashed it via odin, then cleaned cache partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Battery life definitely seems to be better with the May update.

Around 1 hour more SOT as compared to March firmware. 8.5 hours+ if using heavily and draining the battery within a day. 7 hours+ if using for 2 days.

Standby drain has decreased significantly. Barely losing battery overnight.

Phone has never lagged so am not noticing any further smoothness. No jitteriness anywhere in the system yet so have left webview alone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
For me AUDA is terrible.

I have lags everywhere, phone is overheating for nothing and my battery drain is really high.

I don't want to reset the phone because my banking apps are on it and reconfigure them would be a pain in the ass.

I suggest you to wait.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] franagan75:
Im very happy With May update
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Same for me. Will wait for June Update. If the problems are still there then I'll do a factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
Lags are NOT related with May update. I'm on April update and I have lags too since 3/4 days ago. The problem is the android webkit view that is broken.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] franagan75:
I have done Phone resset and all Works fine,With april update Phone overheath a lot shooting photos and now are less Hot,and camera App Works faster
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
I hear you, but lags appeared right after the update.

I mean I noticed them immediatly after the update.

So maybe this is a mixed problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tim84us:
there might be issues with that update - could explain why they hold off releasing it widely in Europe ....still no sign of it in UK - surely thats gotta mean something
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Rocio19:
Have you wiped cache partition?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
Yep of course.

I just tried an Odin install on with the Home CSC, let's see if that improves.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] DaOldMan:
It was a bit funny to read your recommendation. Because using Odin and OTA is just the same. It's true that Odin contains the whole rom and just overwrites the partitions and Ota is differrential and updates the same partitions just by patching the files but the result is 100% the same. So your recommendation is wrong mate, sorry. Also Odin is much faster because overwriting all files is much faster then patching them one by one. Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
I think an ODIN clean install wipes all the partitions while a normal ODIN install would be exactly like the OTA. It seems the issue with over heating/ battery drain has to do with some rogue app(s). The best solution for this is to factory reset or clean ODIN install.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tim84us:

There is definitely an issue with this update, I've made a factory reset and lags are still there.

I had issues with the phone getting hot and bad battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beso:
in 14 days there will probably be June update
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beso:
Be happy to have may update, I am still on April update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
Consider yourself lucky, if you still don't have it, there is a reason.

And yes I have a lot of issues with this update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I've not found any major issues. Maybe try clean flashing it again with odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
Already did.

There is a seperate thread for 998U
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Are you using 60 or 120hz? I think Februar Update had the best battery life but the phone got really hot while using the camera. May Update fixed the heating while using the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cheekrox:
No update here in Belgium
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mattlcfc:
Uk still waiting. Had it early lastly month. Maybe they pulled it
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gehnna74:
I dont understand why only dbt is realesed. No one report mayor problems. I cant find any news telling May update it stoped. It weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] raggamuffin:
Hey y'all,

XSA ROM here (S21U Exynos) and just Odin flashed DBT AUDA (24 hours ago).

Haven't noticed anything negative. At least nothing significant enough for me to notice...

Cleaed cache following the update and re-ran App Booster, for whatever it's worth.

I'm not anal about battery life but I haven't noticed any significant drains after the update.

So for me, it's been kinda; meh... :-D
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sharpshooterrr:
I have a SD888 version since launch. There is a constant heating issue, and most noticeable the first time you use the phone when you wake up. Looks like it was fixed in the April update, but now it's definitely back in the May update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
I told you something was wrong with this update.

I just got another update, I'm gonna clean flash with Odin.

And works without any problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rufus15:
90% will no longer work, after the new updates (March one, if I remember correctly).

If it still does for you, go for it.

If not, the alternative to change the CSC is to use Samkey.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Batfink33:
There must have been bugs in the FW rolled out last week to DBT and it's now getting an update fixing it. That's why it's delayed everywhere else.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] e.kabashi95:
SamKEY and buy 1 credit.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
I guess in India as well the update ( auda) was released as an ota .

I did a clean install via odin .

I guess they pulled it from other countries.

I hope the new update fix the scrolling lags some users are experiencing
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
One thing is that the update made the battery a whole much better guys.

Also i turned off volte which made it super good, i used to get 4 maximum per full charge.

I love it.

Mod Edit (Translation);

Let's see if any of them get to the phe ya, jiji.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
I tried the performances without restoring anything, and lags are still there evrywhere in the system, especially when browsing a heavy web site.

But it's less frequent.

I am still miles away from the smoothness I had with the March/April update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gehnna74:
Why don't you try with a clean install??
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
I did.

I've made a side by side comparison with my wife's S21+, and it's notieably faster and smoother.

I tried the site AndroidPolice, I have lags and stutters on my S21U, it's buttery smooth on the S21+.

She's on the April update.

You can see it everywhere that's crazy. Something went really wrong this month.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bissa:
I am on S21 Ultra G9880 Snapdragon and some how some times the browsing scrolling is buttery smooth without a single lag and sometimes I would get stutters and lags while browsing (on the same sites). I never knew the reason. It happened for me on all firmware. But I think the May update is little better than April update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
I think the Browser lag is due to an updated Browser Version. Noticed that too. Try an older Samsung Internet Browser Version.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
I never had any issue before.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
No update since April 19th, and my wife's is on the same version.

EDIT : tried beta, exactly the same.

It's smoother on Chrome.

And the heat is back. The phone gets warm while browsing a website.

PS : I have nothing installed and didn't restore for my test.

Well thank you I'm not crazy ;-)

2 factory reset and last one was a clean install with Odin.

That's the exact same thing with any browser, I noticed it immediately after tnstalling the May Update. IMHO they messed up something with the refresh rate because there is lag and stutter in almost every app. now.

Does anyone know if the phone goes lower than 48hz refresh rate with this may update?like Samsung said it will go to 10hz depending on app,screen off etc
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
Search on ananadtech (don't have the link handy) for an article on variable refresh rate. It's a written at the time note 20 ultra came out, but applies to s21 ultra as well. It's a LOT more complicated than just setting a low limit.

was hoping it will be today in UK but it doesnt seems like it - that means it will be nearly half of may they release it - if they ever - making a huge down trend considering past months
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tim84us:
well all public releases should be stable - no offence - they have internal testing so they can catch any issues before releasing them to public

i guess the question is - what was the issue - since they've been so cryptic about it - and even now - you can see how scared they are to release it anywhere else
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
Dude there is clearly a performance issue.

So don't be such in a hurry.

I have lags and stutters in every apps and my phone gets hot for nothing, so if I could downgrade to the April update I would do it.

They totally messed up something on at least one version of the phone.

I have the 512/16.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] fdomi:
In fact, apparently it's the opposite: After May update it doesn't heat up so much and there is less lag overall:

Heat comparison between April and May update
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
I’m not telling some don’t benefit from the May Update, but there is clearly something wrong for a lot of people.

I suspect the 512/16 model to be in fault, maybe a bad RAM management.

Before they find out what's wrong, they can't release it to everyone.

The minute after I updated I noticed lags and stutters, phone getting hot and bad battery life. I barely can do more than 4h SOT and 12 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] fdomi:
But, if that's the case, why have they released the update for Germany and some Asian/LatinAmerican countries, including a second update (patch) ? Clearly many people own the 512 Gb/ 16 Gb RAM version too. I mean if they haven't fix the alledged bug then why release a patch then?
