[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
I want accurate color calibration not an endless puzzle. With no Android color calibration app/hardware like the Spyder colorimeter only Samsung can provide that. On top of all that is the fact that variable refresh rate displays are extremely hard to color calibrate.

I've tested the cam/display color throughput on the N10+ using a color calibration chart. Near perfect in natural mode, vivid mode not at all.

Let's hope Samsung does the same for the S24U.

It should have been right at the get go though.

Personally I would reject it for that alone... what was Samsung thinking?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] x7nofate:
Is any info in this update reference fix Fast charging issue ?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
none
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] x7nofate:
This is ridiculous
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
is it? no one mentioned this to them as a bug - this is the first time i heard at least

most people dont use fast chargers and it seems the issue is with the chargers from non-samsung - so idk if its a new battery protection in place that doesnt allow the phone to work with chargers that are faster than what the phone can take
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] x7nofate:
Did you open my previous link >>>

https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/comments/1ajbnlp
?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
yes I did - is a reddit link not a samsung community link - samsung doesnt take feedback from reddit - go to their website and complain - seems to me like an isolated issue affecting certain types of ultra fast chargers - so doubt it will be fixed in this release, if ever
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nex_t:
Did the Samsung improved the brightness as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
No update yet on your Galaxy S24? You’re not alone

Samsung has spent the last half a decade doing everything it can to release new software updates as quickly as ...

www.sammobile.com

so tired of all this waiting - what is going on there?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Inefficient software team and leadership, can't think of any other reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
too busy launching new phones every week ....
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I believe officially the update should roll out from 22.02.2024 ? although I know a few people have posted they have been updated already in a few places. I'm not sure where exactly though.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Why 22.02.2024?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dvhttn:
Not sure why you ask that question as the answer is obvious. That is, that date fits with Samsung's release schedule for the first S24 update .....
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I've not got a clue officially but you can see the time samsung has said in this video right at this time ->

Check the bottom of the email on his screen ;) or watch the full video.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
They might roll out in the US and Canada, but I doubt they'll release it here in the UK on the 22nd of February. Europe always gets updates late.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Has anyone received the update yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
Checked mine this morning.

S928B/DS, UK, no update yet
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
is really beyond terrible

meanwhile they just announced one ui 6.1 coming to s23/22 late march

so obv they're putting all their forces into updating older device than their flagship - is almost like they dumped s24 on people and decided its not worth their efforts or something is terribly wrong with it they just cant figure it out

not only that but the phone is still on July 2023 Play system - i mean c'mon - even my mum's redmi10 is on Jan 24

I know these are all small things in the greater life scheme but is supposed to be a flagship and it gets the treatment of a 3rd line phone atm

Sammy is basically just giving s24 users the fingers!!! should have stayed on s23 right?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
I personally don't find it such an issue. The fact they've acknowledged the issue and preparing an update, says that its not a hardware problem and is going to be fixed. Bear in mind, the vastness of devices that Samsung support, there will be separate teams working on updates for each device family, so don't think they are prioritising updates for the S23/22, they will have had these planned in for months.

Many manufacturers do the same. Take the Oneplus 9 Pro for instance. Many complaints about camera on release of the device, but resolved with software within a month or two.

Patience is a virtue. It will be sorted. Its not like the vividness is stopping you from using the device?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] goodwin_c:
Making an update is not just "fix a few lines of code and pushing OTA". Pushing even just a few small fixes needs a lot of time - as this should be properly tested so that it will not introduce two new defects instead of one fixed. Also a lot of bureaucracy. It doesn't mean they are ignoring their flagship - it only means they are busy and things are moving behind the scenes.

P.S. Some companies (i will not point my fingers on apples) - are not fixing annoying defects that are breaking people workflows - for MONTHS, almost for years
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dayuser:
Well, S24 series already are OneUI 6.1

If google play system update is not up to date, it's not Samsung's fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
actually it is Samsung fault - its a bug thats other phones had it - but was fixed with feb update -

i mean it seems people dont care about the update - so starting to make more sense why samsung doesnt care - if people are happy to use a half finished product by all mean do!!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes, it's software. I tried porting fix from korean device to my S928B and working fine now. Posted video here
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dayuser:
Google play system update comes from Google so it's Google's fault. There are / was several other manufacturer phones that was not also received play system update.

But still Play system update is not that critical if it's not up to date. I have android 10 device and play system update is may 2023 :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
Sounds like you have a lot of butthurt over something that is not really an issue. Perhaps you are begrudged over spending a fortune on a new device, in order to justify such anger by picking holes at very minor instances. Samsung does care. They are fixing the issues.

If you think they aren't, contact their support and direct your concerns to them.

If it bothers you that much, send it back and get a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
so what - i should feel bad and guilty because i said im unhappy that S24 still hasnt received any updates so far? i should not say anything here because you are happy so everyone else who isnt happy is their problem?

i dont understand people on forums? why must you always attack others that have a different view on something

why must you always laugh of them, make them feel stupid or bad over something so trivial

okay you dont have a problem that your s24 hasnt received any updates and are happy with the phone - good for you - but dont need to mock others

as for the google play system update - not being samsung' bug - before being so sure you know the truth just do some research - https://9to5google.com/2024/01/12/samsung-galaxy-google-play-update-error/ is a well documented issue

and lastly - saying it doesnt make a difference what GPS version you are on: wrong again - they contain critical security fixes and also new service features ...so is not nothing
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
That statement in green, says itself really. You're making a big deal over something thats not an issue. You yourself say its trivial, so why get so worked up about it?

Also, that link doesn't directly say its Samsungs fault, it just says "the exact cause for the issue is unclear"
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
because there is no need to be so mean...is not about making a big deal or not - is about being respectful of people's opinions - i believe that if you have nothing good or constructive to say best to not comment -

You're making a big deal over something thats not an issue

THAT right there is my point and the root of all - because something isnt an issue for you, you assume is not an issue for anyone and if anyone has an issue they're being dramatic - i think a lot of people have an issue - i started this very own tread a month ago (with my other XDA login) complaining about the vividness issue - which honestly tons of people have it - this software update is supposedly meant to fix this but is still not here so yes is important to get the update so i can enjoy the phone

You're on this thread commenting - so clearly the issues is either affecting you or interest you

I merely stated that is been over a month, still no update, am getting tired (as am sure many others are) and it sems samsung is taking the piss

if you don't care about this issue or update - why did you come on this thread today to comment on my post - because you felt the need to make some snarky comment, because you were interested to see if someone said: oh the update is here the issue is fixed or what?

I dont want to make this topic all about something else - but i started this thread - so i dont need you coming here, making me look like some hysterical person;
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
From someone who has been in the IT business my whole life.

Yep, it sucks to wait for something one considers important. I would not be happy if it were something I cared about.

As frustrating as it can be for some of us, I would rather wait and have a solid update than have a half-done thing that requires multiple updates to fix stuff that was not properly tested.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
I never said i had the issue or that it bothered me, all i said was this: https://xdaforums.com/t/display-washout-not-as-vivid.4652661/post-89357267

I use my phone in dark mode, so its not a dealbreaker for me.

Perhaps the butthurt comment was uncalled for, so apologies for that. But i stand by the rest of my observations. Its not an issue stopping use of the phone, Samsung is aware of it and fixing the problem with an update.

How long the update takes to reach us is anyone's guess. It depends on region/carrier, BUT, it is coming. On my old S22+, updates were monthly. So given the S24 Ultra has been out for nearly a month, i'd expect one to release in the next 7 days if they stick to the same schedule.

I do think any concerns still need feeding directly back to Samsung though. Either through their forum or customer service. I doubt they visit XDA to see whats going on in the world of their users.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
lets park it here

and hope samsung will release this update sooner than later

🙏🙏🙏
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
There's still no update in the US or Canada either. Samsung really dropped the ball on this promise "Update release on 22th of Feb". 😒 #WhereIsTheUpdate
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Samsung never said that. Stop spreading false info. If you are reffering to what one guy get something in e-mail, then once again, random guy from support knows nothing about when udpate will drop.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dayuser:
It was said several sammobile news that update could come out by February 22-23.

That's is what we know so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
COULD - I think this world doesnt my "samsung confirmed udpate to be released on xx" people belive in random speculations and now we have 2pages of spam when will we get update because they cannot read.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
You and your useless comments again. Read the forum carefully mate. You will find Samsung offical announcement for that. Not me, one other forum member shared it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dayuser:
Well, all speculations is based news what is released over past week.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Your false info is useless, there is no official statement made by Samsung. Or maybe I am wrong nad you can share it?

I think you are missing the point, he said that there was official info, which is clearny not true. This is what I pointed.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Your business is here trolling the people. If you go on pages and read, you will find them. 🤓
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Chill guys. Fix already released in Korea, so likely around the corner for rest of regions .

Have a wonderful day ahead to everyone !
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dayuser:
Well, i was first person who said that update is coming on February 22 because news was telling that.

Samsung's official statement is that update is coming in February.

Samsung Announces Galaxy S24 Series Update, Offering Galaxy Users More Choices

With Galaxy AI, Samsung aims to empower you with the ability to conduct barrier-free communication, unleash creativity and enhance productivity. Early users of Galaxy S24 series are experiencing just that – but different users have varying needs. Based on your feedback, through an upcoming...

news.samsung.com

and other news on Sammobile said that update is coming February 22

" Samsung revealed to 9to5Google that the rollout will start on February 22. "

First Galaxy S24 update could hit the air on February 22

The first Galaxy S24 software update has been eagerly anticipated ever since the new flagship series went on sale. But ...

www.sammobile.com
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
And it started, it is available in the korea. Also one portal got that info, which is a bit weird

9to5Google said they got e-mail - looks like trust me bro kind of source lol
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dayuser:
Korea update was released last week.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Once again - there was no official promisenfrom samsung that update will drop today, period. Doesnt matter what one shady portal is claiming.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dayuser:
Yes, i know that.. All Samsung is promised is update is rolling out in February..
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
There is a difference between spreading false info intentionally or repeating information from sites that may pr may not be true.

The only one that matters is what Samsung says or doesn't.

They may have been released in Korea earlier because it is a smaller market, and you can gauge whether things are working properly.

A very common practice to release in "waves."
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Can anyone clarify? If I buy a device from Samsung directly unlocked, do I have to wait for my carrier’s firmware update? I’m confused.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] kangi26:
Yes, you'll have to wait for your carrier to update it's U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Does this mean if Samsung already released a firmware update for the UK, and we'll have to wait extra for our carrier to work on it?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
That isn't correct. All my phones were carrier unlocked and bought directly from the OEM, the last 3 years from Samsung, specifically.

I have service via T-Mo US. I have no idea what firmware they have, and I never did.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] kangi26:
Both the U and U1 firmware are pushed OTA by each carrier that is dependent on the SIM card you have installed in your device, not by Samsung. You'll see that the OTA's roll out at different times, ATT/USC/CCT/TMB etc will all have their own cadence. SOMETIMES the U1 will hit before the U and sometimes not. Typically the U1 firmware will have the same build across all the carriers, but the U firmware can go all over the board with the build numbers.

You can see in your Software information the field "Service provider software version" it'll list your firmware version and the carrier that sent the OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Thank you for the clarification. That makes sense. So, Samsung is not the only one responsible for the firmware updates, but also the carriers. I guess that explains why some people get the updates faster than others. Maybe my carrier is delaying the firmware update for some reason. Do you know if there is any way to check the status of the update from the carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] kangi26:
Samsung releases the base build and the carriers will "do their thing" with the build (Usually not a lot with the U1 versions).

There's no way that I'm aware of to check the status. We just have to be patient for them to drop. I use to have a contact that had insider info, but that's gone now.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
It's clear that we can't solely blame Samsung for the delays in firmware updates, as the carriers play a significant role in this process. It's important for users to be aware of this and to potentially engage with their carriers to understand the update cadence.

This also highlights the importance of considering the carrier's role in the overall user experience with the device. Thank you for sharing this valuable information.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I believe the email in this video is from samsung? I could be wrong but it clearly states the 22nd of february at 50 seconds into the video right at the bottom. If that email is from samsung does that make it official ;)

Just so we are clear, I'm not here to argue. I'm only posting because some people have their knickers in a twist.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] kangi26:
Sorry this is totally off topic OP:

Absolutely, just because Samsung says they are releasing a firmware on Date XXXXX, doesn't not mean that the carriers are going to push OTA that same day. If I remember right I want to say it can be a week or 2 before the US carriers see the OTA pushed. I don't have any experience on the markets outside the US so I can't speak to that.

Reaching out to carriers typically doesn't bear any fruit. The call reps aren't going to be given that info. We all just have to patiently wait (Or not be patient, thats a personal choice ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
Thank you, I was not aware of that.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
Most carriers have an OS update schedule on their websites. Well in Canada they do. Update is scheduled for release Feb 23
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] omek07:
Yes Roger's has it for Tomorrow 23rd
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Looks like even the Galaxy A32 even got the Febuary patch now... A low end phone... I know the S24U is getting more than just a security patch but still other phones getting priority? lol
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Haven't people complained that Canada gets updates last? If it does come out on the 23rd for Canada looks like the tables have turned this time around
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] omek07:
They can say whatever they want in their site bud. I am hesitating to believe that we will get it tomorrow. Usually they are releasing the updates around 12am eastern time but !!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Will find out in a few hours
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] omek07:
Yes let's see !!! But I will not complain if they do not !!!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TODI1111:
The galaxy A71 5G also received a February update. It seems that the entire galaxy fleet will be updated first. Then, when they get to it, they will deal with fixing the flaws of the flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
If someone treats this random e-mail where you cannot see sender and allegedly samsung is writing about themselves in third person as official announcement then I am not sure if I should laugh or be sorry for that person. This is more than obvious fake, in best this could be a resposne from some random guy from customer support who probably doesn't even know that he is working for samsung.

And yet, we we have people crying about lack of update as it was promised to them by random stranger on youtube :rotfl:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
How does that work with those words:

Websites like sammobile says that it COULD come as early as 22, there was is no official samsung statement with that you won't find it anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
And by today you should know that this is on an issue but rather design, which is going to be changed anyway. Now as you know well that in upcoming days there will be a an uptade to "fix" this for you, why are you so angry that it takes bit more time?

I mean,

- phone is fully usable, this is not something critical that is affecting it in a way that you can not use the phone

- would you rather wait another 5 days or get the update that would crash your phone every 30 min?

We're on XDA, but it seems like people have completely forgotten over the past few years what the software development process, debugging, and making changes entail. Additionally, some here seem to think that Samsung will just add a slider and that's it, shouldn't that take 5 minutes, right? I don't want to be the devil's advocate here and defend Samsung, but the level of ignorance among people here is absurd. Do you think Samsung released an internal build some time ago and now they're not giving it to us just to annoy us? I'll surprise you, but most likely there are bugs in it, or additional things are needed for it to work in Europe/USA. Android isn't a calculator and you can't just change some things easily because you can mess up the system. And for the future, I advise not to buy hardware on release, just wait a week or two for opinions and reviews to avoid such disappointment. Or, if you're so unhappy with the device, just return it. Nothing hurts Samsung more than losing a user.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Update up in US:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
? Carrier? Not for U1 or U T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Weird Spectrum gets it before Verizon lol
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
I think it is Spectrum(?) sorry I am not familiar with US carriers :)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
Available on TELUS as of 12:01 AM CDT.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Spectrum runs on Verizon. So odd they got it first lol. Just now flashed mine with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
MY EYESSS

But still has a yellowish/warm tint though compared to the S23 Ultra almost like eye comfort is enabled when its not
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
US software releases are different than in Europe, over there carriers must approve them, here(in Europe) usually Samsung release a software update per region, of course there are some exceptions where carriers must add their bloatware but it is much less common.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
But Spectrum RUNS on Verizons network. Verizon is the main carrier. Spectrum just resales it
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
When screen is displaying HDR it works under DCI-P3 and it is beautiful same as S23. And so it is in sRGB, but it will be washed out comparing to DCI-P3- however when you use those "filters" which bumps the colors in sRGB this looks weird, not sure why people like that :) Or maybe it is just me as I work on calibrated screens.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Well maybe the guy who approves updates in Verizon is off sick today 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] omek07:
Here it is
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
I'll have to test that. Not really washed out to me, its just whites are not white. My december build S24U is still slightly dim more warmer. My end of Janury build S24U has brighter whites but has a weird red tint in the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
I mean sRGB will be always washed out if you compare it to DCI-P3, but when people try to lift sRGB to have higher vivid it looks weird. It is same on pc/tv, if you have an oled monitor, you are trying to play a game/watch something DCI-P3 activates only in HDR mode, rest of the content is in sRGB SD mode. I mean windows you have to do it manually as this system is retarded 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] xxjrsmith3xx:
How slow is ATT with these updates...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
I mean Verizon or T-Mobile hasn't gotten it yet either.
