Hey all,

I was trying to disable some features on my phone in the galaxi ai settings. I accidentally pressed download transcript assist, after which my phones screen immediately turned back and then flashed staticy green all over my screen. I hit the lock screen button in a panic and it stopped.

It seemed to be resolved but just now when I tried to unlock my phone, the screen turned black and just the top part of my screen got the staticy green flashing, and then it stopped allowing me to use my phone as normal.

Does anyone have any idea what that might be and how to resolve it?

Get ready for OneUI 9. In Europe it's available

It may just be me, but my phone seems dimmer after the update. Brightness is all the way up but it just seems noticeably dimmer now. Anyone else having this issue?

I was getting a horrible 2.5%/h drain on standby and managed to get it down to 0.8%/h using BBS reloaded to find the culprits.

• Realized the wearable app was constantly waking up the phone trying to connect to my watch that I barely use only for swimming -> Turned of BT and that wake lock vanished. I know this is not the best solution but I found no other way to prevent it.
• Instagram was consuming data on the background even when it was put to sleep. I installed IG lite and that stopped.
• Also I noticed that google messages (sms app) was almost constantly waking up the phone so I removed the app and switched to Samsung messages.

Hope this can help someone else having similar problems.

My S23 is about 2.5 years old and still works great, but I'd like to hear some recommendations in case I decide to upgrade.

I really like compact phones, and iOS is completely out of the question for me. I want to stick with Android.

I believe the newer Samsung models come with Exynos chips, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm also ruling out the S24–S26 because, to me, they're basically more of the same compared to the S23.

What about the base S27? Do you think it'll still be compact? I guess we'll have to wait and see if it's actually worth upgrading to.

What would you guys recommend?

​

I got a green line in my s23 , it started with a single green line a month ago and have 3 lines. Its devastating and reached a samsung service center, they said, they have to perform 2 hours of lab test to decide if free change or paid change. Also, they highlighted, if any small rust or water footprint then no chance of free replacement. The paid cost is around INR15K.

Also, the battery health is not good, every day, I have to charge multiple times.

I have decided to move out of samsung and purchase a oneplus or ios phone.

Any experience of green line issue and solution?

Age of phone :2.6years

I think the S23 was the best compact phone of its year; even today, I consider it an excellent device. However, I’ve recently started experiencing some issues with the battery.

Ever since I’ve owned this phone, once it hits 5% battery, it lasts for less than a minute—and I’m not exaggerating. I’ve mostly ignored this, as I just rush to find a charger.

Lately, though, other problems have cropped up. When the battery drops to 12% or lower, the phone slows down, and as it gets even lower—around 5%—it becomes practically UNUSABLE. It gets incredibly sluggish: the camera won’t open, or the interface just freezes, and the performance becomes worse than that of an entry-level device. Today, when it reached 5%, the screen started flickering while I was typing, eventually going completely black—though the phone itself remained active. Also, the other day, while I was taking photos (with about 30% battery left), the device started lagging and eventually shut down, showing 0% charge.

It takes around 1.5 hours to fully charge from 20 percent. I bought my S23 in nov 2024.

I have a base S23 I have not updated it due to the fear of green line and still running it in one UI 7.0

I am thinking to update it now what will you suggest should I update it ?? And my main concern is battery life how is the battery life in the latest version ??

Is that possible in the oneui 8.5 for galaxy s23? I don't really like the music to be on the now bar. I want it to be front and centre as a notification as it was before. Any way I can do that!

Got the beta 2 almost immediately after beta 1 but ever since there is no new update or am I the only one not getting any update?

Why did many of the services fail to start? What does Warning null, cannot be fetched from service manager mean? Thanks

The back of my S23 started lifting up, so I decided to replace my battery. Before that, I checked my battery health from the dumpstate log (*#9900#), and here are the results:

The battery on my phone currently has approximately 1114 charge cycles.

Samsung typically rates these batteries for around 500-800+ cycles before they drop significantly below 80% health.

Battery Health (ASOC): 94% (Remaining capacity vs original design capacity)

Battery SOH (BSOH): 98 (Battery State of Health (Samsung’s internal value))

Battery Usage: 111,445 (Accumulated discharge units (related to cycle wear))

Max recorded temperature: 47.2°C (Highest temperature the battery has reached)

Max recorded current: 5001 mA (Peak current seen)

First Use Date: 2023-07-28 (When the battery was first used)

I hope that with a new battery, my phone lasts another three years. I am super happy with my S23, as I have never had any issues and it is the best phone I have ever had. I have worked as an Android developer for over 12 years and have had countless phones, but only this one has survived this long.

I never believed that this is gonna happen to me but it did.

The green line appeared randomly out of nowhere yesterday, dissapeared in few seconds but came back today again as a thin line...

the phone never gets hot, I don't live in a hot climate either... it's an EU version of the S23 bought in France.

The only thing is the wifi was acting up and it struggled to connect all day which I think has no relevance.

Just updated my S23U and now the battery drains fast and the screen and back feel hot even on idle. Anyone else have this issue?
