One UI 6.1 update will fix Galaxy Z Fold 4’s keyboard customization issue

Published

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 August 2024 update Europe

Owners of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 have encountered an issue with applying custom keyboard themes. The selected themes are not fully applied, showing incomplete customization. This issue was brought to attention through a Reddit post, where a user expressed difficulty in applying the blue theme to their keyboard.

A Reddit user reported that despite selecting their preferred theme, the blue theme, only some parts of the keyboard reflect the change and leave the rest in default or bright color.

In response, a community moderator stated that the Theme Park keyboard theme does not apply properly when the color palette feature is active. This has been identified as a software issue within the current UI.

Samsung has acknowledged the Keyboard customization issue and confirmed that the One UI 6.1 update will resolve this issue, scheduled to be released early next month.

Until the release of the One UI 6.1 update, the moderator recommends disabling the color palette to allow the themes to apply correctly. This temporary solution will enable users to enjoy their chosen keyboard themes without error.

Samsung Health Monitor app ends support for Android 11 and older phones this December

Published

Samsung Health Monitor Android 11 support

Samsung has announced that the Health Monitor app will no longer work on Galaxy smartphones running Android 11 or earlier. This change will take effect from 23 December 2024, when the next version of the app (1.4.1) is released.

After this date, users with smartphones running Android 11 or older will no longer be able to use some important features, especially when paired with a Galaxy Watch. These features include blood pressure, electrocardiograph (ECG) readings through the app, and more.

The fresh update of the Health Monitor app arrives with version 1.3.6.001, which includes a notification letting users know about this change. While the current version of the Samsung Health Monitor will continue to work on phones running Android 11 or older, users won’t get any new features or updates.

However, to access the full functionality of the Samsung Health Monitor app, including new features, will need to upgrade their phones to Android 12 or newer.

Samsung Health Monitor Android 11 support

Samsung’s limited support for Android 12 and above shows the company is focusing on keeping the app compatible with newer hardware and software for optimal performance and security. Users with older phones are encouraged to update to a newer version of Android to continue using the full range of health features in the app.

If you’re using an older Galaxy phone and want to keep using the Samsung Health Monitor with all its features, you should consider upgrading your device. Samsung also recommends updating your Galaxy Watch to the latest software version for the best experience.

For users who can’t update their devices, the app will still work with limited features, but no further support or new features will be available.

Samsung One UI 7 Beta

Samsung hasn’t yet started the One UI 7.0 beta program, but there will soon be one. The One UI beta program is generally available for eligible Samsung Galaxy devices in the US.

Typically, the latest flagship models like the Galaxy S series (Galaxy S24 and S23) and sometimes newer foldable (Fold6 and Fold5) devices are included in the initial rollout of the One UI beta program. Older flagships and some mid-range models might also join the beta program later.

The beta program often starts in select regions with countries like the US, South Korea, India, and Germany being among the first to receive access. However, no exact schedule is provided for when each country will join.

Specifically, the One UI beta program in the US has been available through select carriers. T-Mobile often participates in Samsung’s One UI beta programs. It is among the first carriers to support beta versions in the US.

Additionally, unlocked Samsung Galaxy devices in the US can join the beta program. Other carriers like Verizon and AT&T don’t offer the beta program for the carrier-locked Galaxy devices. However, unlocked models on these networks can still participate in the beta program.

For the US, you can sign up through the Samsung Members app, which is necessary for participation. To get the beta, you need to follow this:

1. Download the Samsung Members app from the Galaxy Store or Google Play Store.
2. Log in with a Samsung Account.
3. Look for the banner or notice about the One UI Beta Program and register.

While exact release dates can vary, based on the information available, the One UI 7 beta is anticipated to start around November for eligible devices, with a full release expected in January alongside new device launches, the Galaxy S25 series.

Samsung slows down Galaxy S20 FE software update frequency

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE monthly updates

After the Galaxy S20 series, Samsung has dropped monthly update support for the Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy S20 FE 5G smartphones. This means that these devices will no longer receive monthly security updates.

Samsung just recently revealed its updated software plan for November 2024. It shows that the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy S20 FE 5G smartphones have been shifted from the monthly to the quarterly update plan.

Now, these Galaxy S20 FE phones will receive software updates every three months. Back in April 2024, Samsung mistakenly moved the Galaxy S20 FE phones to a quarterly update plan, along with the Galaxy Note 20 series. However, the company quickly reverted them to the monthly update plan. Now, the quarterly update plan is back in place for the Galaxy S20 FE phones.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE monthly updates

Notably, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is the first smartphone in the Galaxy S Fan Edition series, offering premium features at an affordable price.

Launched in 2020, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy S20 FE 5G phones initially came with Android 10. They are currently running Android 13-based One UI 5.1. These devices are not eligible for Android 14 or later OS updates. Now, they have also dropped support for monthly updates.

Even though the Galaxy S20 FE phones will no longer receive monthly updates, they are still functional and continue to work well. Users will still get support for important updates for apps, but the main drawback is that the phones won’t get the latest security patches every month, which could affect their overall security.

If you are looking to upgrade your Galaxy S20 FE smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE could be a good choice. This smartphone comes with the latest software and features, making it a great option for those looking for an upgrade.
