Ota for UK is here, nothing about vivid slider in changelog lol, however will see after update.

Slider is here despite no mention in changelog. Hope everyone will be happy now
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Jaxom84:
And bigger than expected. I thought it was planned to be a 544MB update. 😮
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
This is the weight of the slider :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
Update landed. UK, O2 carrier.

Oddly, doesn't mention anything about camera or vividness at the top of the improvements like everyone elses posted.

It has however, made a difference now its applied.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] xxjrsmith3xx:
Just got my update on ATT sweet !
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nosferatu123:
people say on youtube few days ago, that the update will be around 5 gb and i see now only around 600 mb wtf lolll
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Finally in the UK
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
Updated first thing this morning ;) all seems well. I haven't had chance yet to test out the things in the update but I do have vivid options :) ultimately it's not really going to change my life or my usage because I like the screen on natural although I will be using vivid for a while to see what it's like and see if it grows on me :D

You can see the sender in the video. You can also contact that person (with a bit of research) to verify they sent out the email and confirm they do actually represent samsung but why would you do that when it's far easier to dismiss peoples claims and rant about it on the internet.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
Why does everybody need to post the same exact screenshots of the exact same update tho

Also
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
Don't believe everything you see on the internet.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
Screenshot or it didn't happen
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Lodix:
Does the display still only show 85% of the DCI-P3 ? Compared to 100% of the S23U.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Got the update (AXB7) on the Unlocked US S24 Ultra and S24+ on Verizon. The vividness slider all the way up is the equivalent of the S23 Ultra. For those hoping for S21 Ultra saturation levels, this is not it, but to me it looks way better. HDR color is really intense. If you prefer a cooler or warmer tint, the white balance slider really helps.

They also fixed the banding issue on gradients. The screen is flawless now.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] javierdsv:
My god, the screen looks infinitely better now with the vividness slider at max.

However, it is still not as vivid as my S10e screen. But the S10e seems to oversaturate, losing details, so their approach here seems balanced.

Finally I can stop regretting buying this thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nosferatu123:
why not all got the same update number ????

my update is XBA (i saw people got b5 b7 my is internetional) is it same update for all?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
The last number of the software is specific to the region or carrier. It will largely vary based on if it's a U, W, B, or N model.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nosferatu123:
mine is s928b but i saw people with the B letter got diffrent update number lolll ok im sure all the same
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cpufrost:
The update probably needs a thread of its own!

They really did some fine tuning of the camera, particularly autofocus on the 5X sensor. Annoying hunting/judder gone!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nex_t:
I received the update ( Germany ) and I do like the viviness slider, it looks way better.

Guys, is there a way to increase / decrease the AoD brightness?

Maybe some app?

Thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Got the update but now I can't see in x-rays or ultra violet, and it won't see round corners.

Get it together please Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
I've never seen a 5GB OTA update.. that's almost half the size of the entire firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Theres banding / weird ness still with the background of the default samsung weather app. So not sure if its the phone or the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] kangi26:
I just got the U1 on AT&T
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
Or the app?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dwboston:
Are you sure the "weirdness" isn't just a cloud animation/effect? I noticed the same thing this morning, but it appears to be a weather-related background animation or effect.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
The weather app has a poor quality diagonal streak effect on the background. It's the same on the S23 Ultra. Using a gradient color for the call background , it's immediately noticeable how much smoother it is than before.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bryanhayn:
This is part of the app. You can verify this by swiping up to partially bring up the app switcher, then when you move your finger around you'll see the banding move around with the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
I'm not talking about the affect at the top, its towards the bottom of the screen. Its blocky. Its a bad background image. My S23U does not look like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I must be one of the lucky ones because I have no banding, now or before.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dwboston:
I'm not talking about the top of the app either, it's when you scroll down the page. It's a background image, not evidence of a bad screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Lodix:
I also noticed that when I used my S24 for the first time. The S23 didn't have that problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Shahrokh.KING:
Can anyone with installed update check if the grain issue in low brightness is fixed or got better?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Lodix:
It is still there, maybe a little bit better, but the problem is not fixed and might never be fixed through software.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] meyerweb:
S24 colors look far more realistic.

But have you looked at the display settings to see if there are options to adjust saturation?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nex_t:
Adjusting the saturation?

Don't think that's possible
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Majkl_CZ:
there is already similar thread about it: https://xdaforums.com/t/not-as-vivid.4652661/
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] xdocent:
I switched s23u to s24u and at the very moment it kind of feels like a downgrade. It's ridiculous to see how dull the colors are on the new one...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
In my opinion wait for first update, this is software problem. Exactly same situation was with S23U after unveilid. I remember this cause with my S23U and then back sharp, vivid screen colors .
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MrDusan:
They are reducing the saturation of their screens to fit the standard.

On my s23u, i have eye comfort shield turned to adaptive to solve this "issue". This saturates the screen and makes skin tones look much, much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
yea theres loads of people moaning about it here

Galaxy S24 Serie - Displayprobleme: Bist du betroffen? (Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Forum)

@wavetime Naja, ich hatte diese extrem blassen farben eben anfangs auch und bei mir hat sichs durch "Voodoo" um mal einen User von hier zu zitieren behoben. Und nein, ich hab mich nicht dran gewöhnt, ich hab gestern sowie nach meinen Voodoo das s24u nebers s22u gelegt und einen deutlichen...

www.android-hilfe.de
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
ok so i have spent a whole day reading on a german forum about this - (you can trust Germans) and someone there made a comment that i think (i suspected it too tbf but was not as smart as him to explain it) explains the ''issue''

the S24 supports the new HDR/SDR dimming feature introduced in A14 - if you want to test it go into Samsung Gallery > options >enable SuperHDR

what it does is show photos taken in HDR in HDR (brighter) but without brightening all the screen - but just the photo

this has also been implemented in google photos and Instagram (only works for phots or vids taken in HDR)

this guys is saying that with this change Sammy has moved entire OS to a DCI-P3 gamut from rec709...and the phone is in HDR mode all the time - which in theory is a good thing as it can display more colours however - back in s23/22 etc the non HDR elements were shown in rec709 (and only HDR content switched to DCI-P3) - that means that most UI/apps/content in SDR was able to offer an oversaturated gamut, which is no longer the case now

thats what i managed to understand and you can test this by seeing content in HDR in S24 and see the colours do look better (Instagram overall looks better, all colours are more alive as the app has been made compatible with the new DCI-P3 gamut)

so i guess the solution is - everything stays as - and Sammy and app developers have to improve their apps to support the HDR/SDR dimming features, or Samsung will push back to the s23 setting of doing a separate gamut for HDR vs rest of content - honestly im getting a bit used to the less punchy colours but seeing how some apps look better than others - i hope devs will update their apps
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] kai84m:
In my opinion, it's more like AMOLED-Cinema mode on my S23U
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] eyeatoma:
Not sure about this. On the S24 Ultra reddit sub, someone posted that they spoke to samsung support on chat, and they are aware of the washed out colors and will be pushing out a fix with the software update.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] SgtChrischi:
@eyeatoma Do you have a link to that post?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] EShah:
I posted about this on another thread earlier on.

On another site I'm on, people have been comparing their S24 ultra screen with the 21, 22 & 23 ultras and saying the same thing. Again a lot of speculation, that it's down to software or the anti screen glare.

The someone mentioned they saw a post on reddit that said its an issue that people who used smart switch will experience.

I was happy to wait for a software update to fix this but earlier on today I read an update to say reset all settings under general management (this doesn't wipe the phone)

This has resolved the issue for me. Worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] eyeatoma:
I actually saw it on another post on there, but then I saw this.

Seems like it's a smart switch bug, and this guy apparently has a fix.

The thread also mentions the UK support telling another person that they will fix it soon.

https://www.reddit.com/r/S24Ultra/comments/1aceh9q
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] SgtChrischi:
@eyeatoma It can't be a "Smart Switch" bug, as many people (including me) don't use it at all and still have the issue. It's a pure software bug that only a software update can fix. But thanks for the link.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
I tend to agree with you ... It is a bug
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] lil_kujo:
Completely oversaturated, wow! I don't understand the thing with oversaturation of colors it's hurts the eyes 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] gpap2004:
There is an issue, neither you set vivid colours either you set normal, it is the same result. Hope the will fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Yeah I never use the vivid setting. Puts more wear on the oleds too.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Samsung finally addressed the issue.

From a Samsung employee:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
when is it coming lol - i cant bear this anaemic display
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
He says be patient 😂😂🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] meyerweb:
Now that I have my S24U, I've noticed a couple of things. With a direct comparison, the S24 colors a little bit less saturated. But looking at the S24U by itself I think it's fine. I doesn't look dull or muted to me.

Make sure that Settings/Display/Screen mode is set to Vivid. And turn off Eye Comfort Shield for the best colors. And try Adaptive color tone on and off to see which you like better. The answer may depend on what type of lighting you're in.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] power_book:
*#0*# in phone app to access general test menu. Red, Green, Blue color on the screen is all fine. Dull color is software problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
I was able to improve the color saturation by adjusting the vivid temperature a couple notches warmer, then going to the advanced sliders and moving the green toggle to half. Still hoping for a better fix but for now, it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sclaccount:
This worked for me, which I found on a Reddit forum. My screen looks much better. The change from Natural to Vivid is much more pronounced and the Extra Dim slider makes a big difference in screen brightness which it didn't before.

Basically, go to General Management, Reset, Reset Accessibility Settings.

Colours are now much more like those on my old S22 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sclaccount:
This fix worked for me, which I found in the Reddit forum post to which you referred.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
This must be a joke! I can’t believe Samsung’s response! They claim that the grainy display issue is normal, but it only affects the AWM9 Build phones. What about the other S24 Ultra phones with different builds?

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] SgtChrischi:
@Nemesis_UK_ It's not "Samsungs response", just a Samsung mod. And there are way more responses of Samsung staff saying they are working on an update to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
And that mod must have worked as a samsung customer care executive whole his life looking at his response.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
What is the difference? Samsung mod or Samsung? I don't know, that's why I am asking.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
they are taking sweet time to get this S/U out - i get they're trying to fix as many issues as poss in one go but i think the screen issue is now the biggest issue in terms of people flagging it so they could issue a fix for this at least - if it was an easy one?!

this best not be true lol

there are in fact several people who have posted similar replies they got from Samsung - it appears Samsung is saying is normal so get used it to it as its not an issue

Phone is not even "officially released" yet. The official launch day is afaik tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Brava27:
This is a big reason I'm staying with the S23U. I hope for all the 24u users, it's actually a software bug but I find it hard to believe.

Hopefully an update is coming soon. There are a lot of annoying bugs/issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] ocaldini:
Have you guys tried "extra brightness" hidden when you off "adaptive brightness"? it helps a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MartinMKR:
I hope they keep the current "vivid" mode as a third option or even better - add endless amounts of profiles downloadable from the store, so stpd people like me can use one specificaly calibrated to my liking :D
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] malikin:
screen colors are terrible
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cpufrost:
LOL there is nothing wrong with the phone! Mine looks fantastic. Finally accurate color that doesn't look like a freaking cartoon!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Even so it’s more accurate. But it’s not as bright as the S23 ultra.

It’s as bright as the S23 ultra with extra brightness disabled and turned down a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cpufrost:
Peak brightness (HDR) is where it's at! I took some video of light cannons (Martin stage lights) that panned across the camera and watched the video later and the display got so bright it was painful to watch! My 15 Pro Max and S23 Ultra don't do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
I agree its incredible! But 99% of what I look at is not HDR, and its just dimmer than what I'm used too. Even my Regular S23 is brigher, and my iPhone 15 Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cpufrost:
Avg brightness it may be, dunno. Most of the time my slider spends way on the left.

My 2023 Macbook Pro is supposed to be 100 nits brighter than its predecessor yet I've never noticed it because peak HDR is still at 1600.

The AR coating is different for sure. I was shining one of my olights at the screen to see how good sunlight reading would be and was surprised at how dim the reflection was on the ceiling. The S23 Ultra was almost like a mirror in comparison!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Not all phones are affected. Build number AWM9 phones are affected from this bug. You can consider yourself lucky in this case.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Can you point me comparison, side by side of "unafected vs afected" S24U? If not, I call BS to what you just said.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Search online Mate, you will find tons of resources. Thx.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Well if you want me to find them, then I call it BS. I have asked for that as whoever says that his phone is "ok" and not affected didn't do any comparison. I have seen plenty of them vs 23U, but nothing regarding 24U vs 24U, so as of today there is no evidence that software version mske any difference.

Also I would not trust customer support, it was proven 10K times that they got no clue what they are talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
AWM9 is the ONLY version available on the s24 as of yet

so anyone who tells you something else is just speculating
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Rauttis:
The current vivid mode is much more color accurate than it used to be, so this isn't necessarily an issue, it's all personal preference. With that said the difference between natural and vivid is so small that the setting is kinda pointless now. I think the optimal solution would be a saturation slider so users can decide whether they want accurate or blown out colors on a more granular level.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Natural and vivid should be natural and vivid, not natural and natural. This is the issue that Samsung needs to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Do you have s24 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
I do, but what is the difference? You said something which but insteadof backing it up you said "google it".
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Café King:
I have both the Fold4 and S24 Ultra. Fold4 screen is brighter than S24 Ultra at the same levels and settings. S24 Ultra is such a disappointment.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] power_book:
It's a firmware bug, if you can't adjust Vivid mode by sliding R, G B bars. it needs to be fixed soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
What is the build number?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
How is it related to what you said?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
What is the build number? Don't you know how look or just don't wanna share? When you check you will see it is AWM9.

Now find me another S24U suffer same screen problem and has a different build number. Otherwise I will call it BS. Thanks Mate.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Rauttis:
AWM9 is the firmware the phone launched with, you're not going to find anyone in the wild with something else until Samsung releases an update. At most some reviewers that got the phone early and have not updated could have something else.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
I have been rooting smartphones since SGS2 but no, I do not know how to check build number :]

Where can I see "unaffected" phones? It is not me with this thesis. I know that all S24 got different screen calibration, you said that another build got different colors, hence why I want to see it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Thank you, that's why he is saying BS :)

I am asking once again, which phones are not "affected" what build number and how can i verify it?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
You gonna tell me which build numbers are not affected. You have a phone build number is AWM9 and don't wanna admit it 😅.

Please respond to that and stick to that as not sure why are you involving my phone in this situation lol:

I am asking once again, which phones are not "affected" what build number is "fine" and where can I find any kind of comparisons?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
We might disagree if phone is "good" but if somwone is making up something, well this is a different story. Do you remember the guy who was saying "update tomorrow" back in s21U days? He had a fight with everobody here and then didnrage quit and deleted his account 😅 I have seen him active on X, same story, update tomorrow etc🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] V0latyle:
Well, just remember that you can respond without being inflammatory. "Do you have a source you can share with us?" and if they keep doing it, just report their posts and let us handle it. No need to engage and start a fight by calling someone a liar. Not saying you did, but I think you get my point.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Lodix:
Still not a single software update, what a shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
I've an S24+ and the screen is absolutely horrendous, coming from the S21+, this is a huge downgrade. Almost looks like an IPS. If this turns out to be some sort of a hardware issue, I will just sell it and switch back to the S21. Son, I am disappoint.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] carlitos66:
I can live with the washed out colors, but why did Samsung lower the brightness of the screen vs S23U? And, if you try system sound volume in Settings, it is quieter than S23. The brand new speaker is not that loud either. I have until Wednesday to decide, but as of now I am leaning towards returning.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Galaxy S24 vivid display mode might be working as intended after all

Here's a new and intriguing development regarding the Galaxy S24's vivid color profile. Namely, Samsung reportedly intended for the vivid ...

www.sammobile.com

Would you like to share which build is not "affected"?

I think I wrote something very, very very same few posts above:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Bigmille:
Some new information on this from Samsung Spain:

"a statement to Teknofilo, Samsung Spain indicated that the changes to the Vivid profile are intentional and meant to provide a more natural experience. The company went on to specify that the reported behavior is not a defect, seemingly ruling out the Gorilla Armor display glass as a potential cause."

Samsung says the Galaxy S24 Ultra's washed out display is intended behavior

Users have complained of washed out colors on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but Samsung says it's not a defect

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Dear Jolo, I shared which builds are affected. If you are not happy with this information, please prove the opposite.

But just be honest and no need to take all these peoples time reading this nonsense correspondence. You can DM me if you need further support my friend. End of conversation. Thx.
