OneUI 8 effectively bricked my Fold

I can't use my phone with Samsung's newest update. I get a (super slow) welcome screen with animations that takes ages. Then unresponsive buttons to skip their Samsung account screen. Who designs these things at Samsung?? Then accept their """"Advanced AI"""" I don't care about. Then I'm sent back to the welcome screen where I can stare at their terrible crossfade for a few seconds.

Does Samsung hire QA people? Do they have any competent designers?

The whole flow is annoying enough without getting sent back to start every time.

I was trying to use the Samsung keyboard and it started saying letters that I touched out loud. It wasn't talkback (turned off and disabled). When I switch to gboard it goes away.

It happened once before but went away I think when I restarted but now it's full time and persistent across restarts. I guess I'm going to have to use gboard which I don't prefer.

Does anyone else know about this that has an answer other than it's TalkBack. Because it's not.

What is the driving app for SAMSUNG?

I have owned a S24 for a while now, and quite recently (i.e a couple of days) this notification popped up.

  • Driving app is running Tap to exit driving app.

And no matter how many times I tap on it to exit the supposed "Driving App", the notification always reappears a couple of seconds to minutes later.

My Device is:

S24

One UI Version: 7.0

Android Version: 15

45w Charging - what you might need to get SFC2.0 on s25u

So I've been seeing and reading a tonne of conflicting stuff about 45w Charging and sfc2.0 especially for the s25u. Some say 5a cable is no longer required even.

I went out and bought a bunch of 3rd party brand chargers, all of which are supposed to support sfc2.0, namely:

  • Anker 735 65w Ganprime
  • Anker 313 Ace2 45w
  • Ugreen Nexode 65W
  • Ugreen 100W USB C Charger, Nexode 4 Ports Charging Station

And my personal conclusion is:

  • 65w (or under) chargers need 5a cable to get sfc2.0
  • 100w chargers can use any cable, including the one that came in box to get sfc2.0

Just FYI if anyone is looking for charger/cable combo to get sfc2.0. 5a cables, I believe any cable marketing itself as 100w or above should be 5a capable. E.g. I got this generic cable off Amazon: LISEN USB C to USB C Cable 1M 1 Pack 240W and it's fine.

Noting that even with sfc2.0, the highest watts I saw on screen with AccuBattery, however accurate that is, was 35w when my battery was 4% and kept cool so I still haven't seen that magical 45w yet, but it charged very fast. 4% to 85% took 40 mins, which is very very fast in my books. Changed the way I use the phone, virtually no battery anxiety anymore.

I noticed sfc1.0 also maxes out at 30w and not 25w as well, which makes the difference even more negligible. I would end this by saying don't feel the need to go out of your way to spend money to get sfc2.0.
