It's any way to change the Samsung keyboard from chines version (layout of numbers and special characters) to European one?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ivixmax:
i use gboard.easy and fast
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TomasSX1:
Yes I know. But Im used to the Samsung keayboard and it's feutures.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ivixmax:
oh my god i

dont use nothing of samsung jajajjaja
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] taher2:
I'm addicted to check software update, and still doing that even after getting the update !! 😭
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] davie9x:
yes root is available pls check the video tutorial from Explaining Android on YT.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ivixmax:
imposible dont work,only for exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
u r not alone :D
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] viktorgorgievski:
have you tried ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sharpshooterrr:
Not yet, I want to experience battery life with Android 12 first.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
So far with 1 day use of Android 12 after i did a factory reset and installed everything from scratch, I feel that I have better SoT even though the phone is working hard in the background to settle everything. Let's see in about 2 weeks if this trend continues.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
Anyone tried to enable the 85% limit of charging?

I can't see a point to limit that as these 15% is great to have all the time even if there is a bad impact of the battery lifetime. I have already charged it to 100% since I bought the phone 8 months ago so I guess even if I enable the new feature, it will not make any difference because I will get the new S22 Ultra when it gets released.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] meroupow:
So far. So very good. 24 hours and everything is working fine and even smoother with all these new little transitions. Expert raw results seems interesting but will require time and effort to master, I guess only few people will bother using it, but thank you Samsung for the effort.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lasha117:
i have done that but i dobt feel any changes. what this future do i dont get it
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lasha117:
i have turned it on, i was charging my phone like that and battery is in good condition after months
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 80s Baby:
yes I've watched that and tried that too. it doesn't really work. like the other poster mentioned I think it's gonna going to be fixed with an update for magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] efrainmartinez:
Were you able to solve it?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Fischmann1:
My quick panel with Android 12 appears exactly as Android 11. No bold icons. Any comment?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
My battery condition without that option also is good, i don't know if this makes any difference!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Battery seems the same as one ui 3,but it's still learning usage patterns so it'll improve I did a factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Aboelnasr:
Unfortunately no, I tried all the old ways, with the same result. Maybe factory reset is a way to go
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] efrainmartinez:
What I mean is if you were able to do the cache clearing as it is very easy, if you need help feel free to tell me.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 80s Baby:
for anyone that wants root,

flash the rom as you normally do via odin

go to this link

Magisk Build · topjohnwu/Magisk@558710b

The Magic Mask for Android. Contribute to topjohnwu/Magisk development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

download the artifact

install the magisk thats in the artifact

patch the AP file using this magisk

flash the patched magisk through odin along with the BL,CP and CSC not the HOME CSC because you need a clean wipe here.

your phone should boot up normally now, once it does open magisk and it should reboot your phone after the necessary features.

once your phone has rebooted open magisk again and hit cancel when the pop up shows up. set up the app after that and your good to go. ive debloated my phone successfully using this method.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sharpshooterrr:
Tried it today, standby drain was 4% in about 5 hours. Turned it back to default.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tessut:
Tried MySQL after a fresh Firmware wipe it only Drains 2% Standby over 8 Hours it works perfect for me
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
What is mysql
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tessut:
I dint meant that lol its this Option in Developer Options
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lasha117:
sooo, what about AOD, it burnes battery or it works well?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zikoen:
Hi, I've installed Android 12 in my S21 Ultra (G9980, Taiwan, BRI). I found a bud with the scroll in some apps. For example scrolling in twitter or in my bank app. If i used 60 hz , bug isn't. It's only in 120hz. Has it happened to someone else? Is there any solution
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Hurrah! Something new to complain about! The Jan update is out and we didn't get it yet!!

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kamrul.auntu:
First connect with a PC. Then press Volume Up + Power button. It will work for sure. I just did it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Only works with a PC? As I don't have one
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] :
A new testing build found for Chinese model friends (January patches probably). 👍
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
I'm using the tgy csc and don't have a PC lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] :
Don't worry... You (and nobody other here) can't install a private test build ahaha.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Let us know how it is
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] :
I can't, I don't have access to these builds, only to their name as a way to track Samsung's work.

When Samsung release it you'll install it via OTA as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Yes true, hopefully be soon, as it took 2 months from October to December for an update on this model
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jimmyh4:
so finally i got the android 12 on my g9980, still cant access any of the so called implementations, no call recording, no esim. I was looking for to some reliable and built in features...... any advice welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
It is my understanding that the G9980 doesn't have native call recording. If it has, your cell provider or the country should support call recording. This goes the same with Esim. Open to being corrected but that's my understanding of this variant
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Did anyone lose their 5G toggle on the pulldown menu? I used to have a button like wifi, data etc on off etc. I notice it's gone after the Ui4 update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kamrul.auntu:
After update I've experienced battery drain, so I did a factory reset via recovery mode after two days and install everything manually from play store. Now I am again getting good battery life as before (may be better than before). With 50% of battery I have got 5 hours of SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
I did the same. After 3 days its good battery
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bryanfuryin22:
Yes it's gone which is sad infact its been removed from toggle itself

It was helpful when downloading or needed for boost in speed
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bryanfuryin22:
Is anyone facing with whatsapp video sharing

When I am sharing my camera videos onw whatsapp it is tinted or off color.

I saw some article on green line or tint but this is like very dark color kind of effect. Off contrast sort of.

Anyone facing issues ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afro972:
No, do you have screen shot ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 80s Baby:
it still burns battery mate.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TomasSX1:
After a week into the update and factory reset is my battery usage at new hights. It improved aroud 4h+ in the estimated time. Today am I around 21,5h esitmated with a SOT around 5h. Not bad at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] adidasmittens:
I've had the phone for a few days now, and wanted to give my thoughts on how it compares to my current Pixel 4XL. For context, I owned a Galaxy S10 prior to my Pixel.

Things S21 Ultra does well:

Battery life: the battery life on this phone is genuinely amazing. I usually only charge my phone to 80%, and even then I'm couldn't kill it in a day. 5000mah with the newer, more efficient OLED screen really works.

General hardware quality: other than a couple things, Samsung has significantly better hardware than my old Pixel. The screen is an upgrade in basically every aspect (120hz is definitely smoother than 90hz, and it doesn't suffer from any color shift at low brightness like my Pixel). The speakers are better, the overall tolerances are tighter. I still prefer Google's software experience, but man Samsung can really make a nice phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
It's been too quiet here... Not enough complaints... So:

Where's the January security update?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zikoen:
When updating to android 12 I did a factory reset to make sure everything was fine. In general, everything is going well for me, but in some applications such as the bank, twitter or others, the scroll is not fluid but lags. Someone else happens? Any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
Hi, I believe Samsung implemented some sort of jelly like animation when you've reached the bottom or the top of pages. Is that what you're referring to?

Are you able to post a video example of what you're talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zikoen:
Hello, I have tried to make the video but when recording the screen I have the feeling that the refresh rate drops to 60hz. And I have already tried it before, if I set the mobile to 60hz it has no problems. Therefore, it is not visible in the screen recording.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] inpression:
You know you can check the on-screen refresh rate with a switch toggle in the developer options?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zikoen:
Yes, I did. It shows all the time 120hz even if there is lag
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kamrul.auntu:
Anyone facing lagging in Facebook scrolling?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zikoen:
Me and i dont know how to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] MrDusan:
I managed to fix it by clearing app cache/data, reainstall the app and set it up again. Now it's buttery smooth. Sadly, in the past few months I had to do that a couple of times to get the same result.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kamrul.auntu:
After update I did factory reset and install everything and therefore facing the same issue. but I noticed if I clear the RAM everyday and it gets smooth everyday. but this wasn't the case in one UI 3.1
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
Thread has been exceptionally quiet. Everybody seems to be enjoying the December Patch other than some lag issues 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Lol, it doesn't really lag for me. Only when using Facebook notifications don't load sometimes. Hopefully January patch brings faster speed overall
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Where's our January update?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] deeplyyoung:
We are at the bottom of the list buddy... So once all other S21U users get the Jan 2022 security, and most probably looking for Feb 2022 security updates, then we might gonna get Jan 2022.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Apparently it's laggy anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
In a way, this is a blessing knowing that the version we will get will be more refined version than those pushed out early. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] deeplyyoung:
LOL... Agreed but why always at the bottom of list...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
... although I'm really waiting for the s22 ultra, and a return to the land of the Note
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
Guys, you have to complain on everything? First why the Android 12 is not pushed, now why January update not pushed (which is also the case for Exynos), tomorrow you find something else to rush for, just sit tight and put an ice bite into your stomach, the next updates will bring NOTHING new to our handsets, enjoy your phone for now
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] deeplyyoung:
We spent a huge amount and for sure we need equally support as well.... And another thing is that only Samsung is one n only who do all these kind of things..

ENJOYING A12 FOR SURE BUT DON'T LIKE PARTIALITY
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lasha117:
4.0 update was not good for my ultra, it makes phone screen lagging at some times, in a 5-6 times a day, i dont know why, facebook had scrolling lag too, now when screen unlocks and it gets in homescreen, animation is lagging...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zikoen:
In my s21 ultra there are also those bugs. I hope the next update will fix the issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
And who said that you will not get the same updates but a little later? if you cannot wait, go buy the Exynos variant, they receive at least 1 update each month, sometimes two or three..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] deeplyyoung:
I don't think you have any rights to say buy exynos or anything else...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] inpression:
Have to say I'm happy with the update, great battery life and no issues, but I expected more from the theming, as it stands it just changes drop down menu icon colors and a sparse few colorings in places you're hardly ever gonna use.

Doesn't help that it chooses the palette randomly, and always seems to pick the worst colors for it, too...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I agree. Update had been great.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
I have received the January update now (HK) model..

Last week I received the same update for my S21 Exynos.. So just 1 week in between..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afro972:
Me too i have this update downloading right now
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Same here,will install after work
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bryanfuryin22:
Same here in UAE with HK S21 Ultra. Good to see update are coming in. Better to have stable update than rushed ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Now we are fully up to date. We have everything everyone else has. But where's the February and March updates? And android 13??? Really Samsung, letting us 9980 owners down.

I am complaining because I have NOTHING to complain about.

Maybe this option is country related ??
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mastafreak87:
Well, I'm in Malaysia and my service provider said it has been provisioned for wifi calling but the option is just not there o_O
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] inpression:
You can force it, launch EpdgTestApp with an activity launcher and configure wifi calling as preferred, worked for me.

is it just mine or the 5G button in the quick toggles disappeared?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] clipdawg05:
quick question, might be stupid. Is it possible to flash the china version on a US s21 so that i could get the N1 band i need for 5g in europe?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
Hey there, I believe China G9980 has N1 Band.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] clipdawg05:
It does, I saw that. I just dont know if it is possible to flash the china rom on the US model. Will it brick my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
To that specific question, I don't know the answer. They are two different models so I would be reluctant to do so.

Also checking the US unlocked Snapdragon variants, I see that they all support N1 band.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] clipdawg05:
Everywhere i looked it says it supports n2 and after that.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Model Number SM-G998* Differences - TechWalls

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra comes in a wide variety of model numbers. All of them begin with SM-G998 but the following characters will decide which version you get.

Edit: yes you're right. I overlooked this one.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Still no update 😔
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
Nope
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
A number of users are downgrading from Android 12 back to Android 11. On my SM-G9980 I've had the Android 12 Update available for over a month. I won't update unless a stable version is available.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
How can we downgrade if we are on January patch
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
With this

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
What does this have to do with downgrading,is it worth going back to one ui 3
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
Fortunately, I haven't had any major issues with the latest update (January). However, one small thing I noticed which has been a common thing was echoing during call on loudspeaker. Don't use speaker phone that much so I wasn't too bothered. Hopefully gets fixed next patch.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Agree it's pretty darn stable
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lasha117:
an update came today, nothing changed exept security patch
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
Hi Everyone! February update came yesterday for TGY/BRI. Unsure about CHC. So far so good. I don't think there's anything significant. Will update the post once I get the chance.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bodomfan:
Just a stability update I think,phone seems smoother and battery is slightly improved

Nothing for CHC yet :(

Has anyone tried to install this
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] YaoSta:
I'm trying but I keep getting errors when I try to install the chinese stock rom (AUI6) it says FRP is enabled, not allowed to download non-FRP abi binary

Edit: I'm guessing this is related to OEM Unlocking and if I do that will I lose all Knox functions? like secure folder and such

Edit2: Managed to flash without OEM Unlock but now got

Reason avb_footer.c41: ERROR: Footer magic is incorrect

avb_vb_metaimage. c:59 ERROR: Magic is incorrect

avb_slot_verify.c:629 ERROR: prism: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header

CUSTOM prism

and my phone doesn't boot beyond download mode

Edit3: Fixed those errors by flashing the non home version of csc file and formatting my phone and finally in beta works good but tons of bloatware and some bad translation here and there also google discover is missing but the software seems to work just fine
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
which beta version is it?

beta 3 is out for U version now
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
How do we get the official invite through Samsung members? Do we need to be in China/HK/Taiwan?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] YaoSta:
It's beta 2
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] YaoSta:
I just found out that I have to have a Chinese samsung account to sync my Samsung Health data because of some cyber security law of China, very annoying. Also couldn't get the material you color theme thing working only the default colors show up.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Alexlan77:
Good afternoon. Can anyone tell me? In which folder are the themes in the phone? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
This is definitely a frustrating model to have, especially when others are already on beta 3
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afro972:
how did you install the beta version ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
I suppose this means that we have to wait for a TGY/BRI version of the beta. It has always been the case that the Chinese version is separated from the HK/Taiwan version because of the **** ton of bloatware in Chinese FW. If someone from those regions manage to get hold of beta, then would be great
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tessut:
So we will have to wait till the end of the month
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] YaoSta:
First you download AUI6 firmware with CHC region csc (I downloaded from SamMobile but anythings ok as long as the csc and the build numbers are the right ones) and flash it with odin and head to https://cherrydrive.cn/s/l4jiJ?&continueFlag=8996eae0c64321f7eee9c45aadff3f8c&path=/

password : beta

and download the beta and flash it using adb sideload

and also you can thank zjhao earlier in the thread for the uploads.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sashapetrik:
Does anyone know if android auto works on beta? because the only problem for me on the Chinese firmware was not working android auto.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afro972:
thank you very i'll test it this week end
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
TGY & BRI is working pretty fine for you in France. I have TGY (Hong Kong) and live in Sweden, have no problem but remember the 5G support will be limited because the bands used in HK are different that 5G bands in France. But 3G & 4G bands almost fully supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] YaoSta:
Have you gotten the beta 3 update? If so could you upload it? Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bilalwarraich:
so i think we will have to wait for official release then. i am gona make sure my samsung is not from these region -_-
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] afro972:
You right
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Prodction:
The beta version on G9910 no problem. On Odin I flash as indicate the BL, AP, CSC, for the CP (Modem) I replace it with that of BRI (Taiwan) of the same security date.

Installation of the beta file with ADB without problems.

I deleted all unnecessary Chinese apps. I cannot say if 5g works because my plan does not include it but 4g no problem in France. I don't encounter any particular problem only a few system applications still in Chinese, like bixby.

Thanks to zjhao for sharing the beta links
