Many S21 FE users want to know whether they should install the update now, or wait. So whoever installed it already, please share your One UI 6.1 update experience. Whether it went well, something went wrong, performance became worse, or any other unexpected occurrences.

Note: This question does not pertain to AI features (or the lack thereof).

I have an SM-G990E

S21 FE Exynos

The Update was around 2GBs.

Installed without any issues, the phone got warm after installing the update and stayed like that for around 20mins.

Animations are extremely smooth, they added the AOD to lockscreen transition and it feels more polished overall
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] xda-eh:
Thank you.

This is a chronic defect of the 2x dinamic amoled panel. It's not the Update that causes this problem, it just shows it earlier. In this case, depending on the laws of your country, you may be able to seek legal help. but the company is obliged to change the panel here in Brazil, as it is considered by law to be a hidden defect.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
I had no idea about this. It's starting to make sense. If I remember correctly, a few years ago, this model had issues with phantom touches and screen jumping when scrolling. They fixed after a year or so, but the panel was flawed to begin with.

Had this exact issue yesterday on S21+ after upgrading to 6.1, power buttons didn't work to restart the phone too, had to connect an external mouse to the phone, then continue and restart device before screen started working again
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] pipee134:
Though, I now have an issue with the blacks on my AMOLED, it's acting like an LCD. Was fine on oneui 5.1

Once I power on the device, i can see the black pixels turned off on first screen that shows the "Samsung Galaxy with the android logo at the bottom", but a couple second after going into the loading screen, the blacks become more like a dimmed display like you'd see on an LCD.

(And yes I was in a completely dark room, that' how i saw when it changed)

I just got this device couple days ago, and was thinking I might have been sold a refurbished screen with fake screen, but I tested it at the shop I bought it, and everything was fine AMOLED included. So i kept thinking my memory's at fault, but I've repeated this test over 10 times and the result is always same.

Proper AMOLED on device start up, LCD on OS loaded, I've seen similar post on the issue, with people saying putting it in 120hz solves the issue, but doesn't for me tho.

This is annoying issues, i'm having with oneui 6.

On the plus side, love the new design, and at least it's a software issue so it can be fixed easily,
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] xda-eh:
Which new design?

[Android TV Development] MarcelTunholi:
Changing the splash screen (opening screen) on an Amlogic S905D TV box like the DreamMax B9S2X involves replacing the default image that appears before the boot animation. This process can be a bit complex and may require some technical knowledge. Here's a general guide on how to change the splash screen:

1.Root Your Device: Before you can change the splash screen, you'll need to root your TV box. Rooting gives you administrative privileges and allows you to modify system files. There are various methods to root an Android TV box, but they can be risky and may void your warranty. Make sure to research thoroughly and follow a reliable guide.

2. Find the Splash Screen File: The splash screen file is usually located in the `/system/media` directory. The file name might be something like `bootanimation.zip` or `logo.bmp`. You'll need to identify the correct file for your device.

3. Create or Replace the Splash Screen: Once you've rooted your device and identified the splash screen file, you can create a new image with the desired logo or replace the existing one. The image should match the resolution and format requirements of your device.

4. Transfer the File Copy the new splash screen image to your TV box. You can use a USB drive or transfer the file over ADB (Android Debug Bridge).

5. Modify File Permissions: After transferring the file, you'll need to change its permissions so that it can be read by the system. You can do this using a file manager app with root access or via ADB with the command `adb shell chmod`.

6. Reboot the Device: After replacing the file, reboot your TV box to see if the new splash screen appears.

**Important Notes**:

- The exact steps may vary depending on your specific device and firmware version. Always back up your device before making changes.

- Modifying system files can be risky and may lead to a bricked device if not done correctly. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.

- Some devices may have additional security measures in place that prevent the modification of the splash screen.

If you're not comfortable with these steps or if you encounter any issues, it might be best to seek assistance from a professional or someone with more experience in rooting and customizing Android TV boxes.

Many times you can choose a good TV box to use our TV, such as the new H96 MAX RK3576 TV box this year.Through AI intelligent algorithms, it can intelligently upscale 720P standard definition and 1080P high definition content to ultra-clear 4K resolution. Equipped with 8K decoding capability, it can smoothly playback 8K videos at 60 frames per second. It runs on the latest version of Android 14.0 operating system, supporting over 800,000 applications, and features advanced voice recognition for more intelligent interactions. Powered by the high-performance RK3576 chip, it boasts 8 CPU cores and 8 GPU cores, with a clock speed of up to 2.5GHz. Additionally, the TV box features powerful 6T computing power, capable of reaching 60 trillion calculations per second when handling complex computing tasks, a 250% improvement over the older version.

If you are talking about creating clones of the Apps then most of the Custom ROMs does support that feature (Matrixx ROM for instance). If you are talking about 2nd Space like feature like in MIUI, then I'm afraid none of the ROM supports that.

then I'd highly suggest using Island (get apk releases here). It creates a "work profile" on your android and allow you to install apps on said profile. Alternative app would be Shelter which works the same way.

I bought a used LTE S3 (113E) to use with my OnePlus 11.

Model SM-R765V

Tizen 4.1

R765VVRU1DVG1

Watch says that all software is up to date.

Pairs fine, but there is no Samsung Pay.

My understanding is that the SPay was supposed to be one of the stock apps. It doesn't appear when I hold the button, when I turn on NFC it says there is no payment app installed, and the app isn't available in the store. When I try to use the Samsung Pay plug in it times out waiting for a response from the watch.

Is there a way to get SPay on this watch or should I return it?
[Samsung Gear S3] the_scotsman:
I would try doing a full reset, Settings > scroll down to connect to new phone.
[Samsung Gear S3] wfred:
I've tried to get SPay for two days.

Reset the watch and gone through the setup process at least 5 times,all of the other stock apps get updated when the watch pairs with the Wear app, but SPay never gets installed.
[Samsung Gear S3] the_scotsman:
It could be a region issue. Is it a US watch? Not bought overseas? Or an overseas model?

Maybe try a guide like these:

I think bluetooth audio is a bit buggy. I can play music on my headphones and bt speaker but there are little stutterings and scratches, too. No urgent issue for me, but I think it should work in a beta build 😎

But maybe I'm doing something wrong. Please, if someone else installs this rom, test playing music with a bluetooth device.

It is very nice of you, @retiredtab, to put your time and knowledge into this. Thank you for sharing.

A couple of friendly comments/questions:

The known limitations list is super helpful. A nitpick re (4). It doesn't match my experience coming from a full reset/reformat. In particular, `first via settings, system gestures, system navigation` doesn't seem to exist. At the same time, LOS21 interface/behavior for taskbar appreas to be the same as 2-3 releases ago (with same silly UI bugs) when it came out. There is really just one sequence of removing the taskbar and/or soft nav buttons, well covered in related threads. It worked well. Hope i didn't miss something.

LOS21 has the seemingly useful bat life extender "charging control". It's amiss in settings, so curious if this is (i) (don't use/need that feature) or (ii) (already tried fixing it and couldn't succeed and won't spend anymore time on it)?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] retiredtab:
Something has changed then since I last wrote the instructions. I've been running 21.0 since mid January 2024.

QPR2 aka the March 5, 2024 security updates nearly killed my 21 build. I had to wait 6 to 7 weeks before I could rebuild again.

I'll modify the instructions to say

Goto settings, click on search at top left hand corner, type in gesture, choose gesture navigation.

Screen shots provided.

I've heard of it, but never investigated. I'll do some research to see how hard it is to implement and if "legacy" devices work with this feature.

No guarantees.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] yxo 6o6uka:
This thing with buttons is really minor, since it's a one time thing, yet many trip on removal of the task & nav bars. So here is the scoop. Nothing changed since task bar was introduced [in los18?], but there are at least 2 bugs (arguably 3) and they explain "Something has changed then since I last wrote the instructions".

1. See pic 1. Assuming everyone starts with a full reset, after the first boot -> Settings -> Gestures looks like in pic 1 attached - there is no navigation option. This is because of UI bug #1 below

2. See pic 2. From the first boot, the nav and task bar are on (visible at the bottom of the pic), but Settings -> Buttons says Nav bar (slider) is off. The state of the slider button does not match the actual nav bar state. Bug #1. It's uniquely first boot thing. You will never return to that state mismatch thereafter and likely forget that small snag. The task bar is not visible becuse in los implementation it's hidden if nav bar is off. Arguably, it's a bug #2 - there should be no correlation/dependency, as for example it's done in Smasung native UI, yet los UI designers may disagree.

3. See pic 3. Now you flick the nav bar, in expectation the task bar button will show up (it really supposed to, by design). But it doesn't, it's a UI bug #3. What you have to do is force this page to re-render. One way to do it is to click on any another page/category in the left pane, e.g. "Password & ...", then back System -> Buttons.

4. See pic 4. And voila - you can see both task bar and nav bar control. At that point turn off taks bar first, then nav bar (in that order).
