MaxineN: Okay so this WiFi issue is very much becoming a problem for me.

Thought it was Private DNS. Turned it off. Nope still happening.
Randomised MAC? Nah
Maybe it's an 802.11AX issue? Same issue reoccurs on a HG659 vs my Asus RT-AX3000.

It's great that my plan is unlimited but I should not have to do this.
The problem literally occurs at random.

Hope an update drops to fix this.


I have an aging S20FE the I use to keep up to date with the world of Android (primary device iPhone 13Pro)

I have been using the S20FE this week and have noticed the WiFi turning off randomly. This has never been an issue in the past. The handset updated to OneUI 5.1 last week, coincidence? Maybe but I feel the update maybe the cause.

No issues here with my S23U or S20FE on the latest firmware.

WiFi issue definitely started after the latest S23U update with 1 Feb security patch and only occurs when connecting to WiFi 6/AX router/mesh. Changing the WiFi mode to AC and the issue goes away or for some of us changing from randomised MAC to phone MAC.

I haven't even installed the 1 Feb security update patch and have the issue, so it's not that

Ok, so now that the S23 series launch dust have settled, what cases/accessories are you getting for your precious?

Man, I have been wildly impressed with the battery life on my S23 Ultra.

 

I honestly can't recall the last time I had between 35 and 55% of my battery after I went to bed!

I am consistently getting over 1.5 days of standby with at least 5+ hours of SOT, in one instance, the battery menu even showed the battery could last 3 days on a full charge!

I get a full day but i have everything turned on including the always on display (which is the biggest drain in the battery management).  Also have garmin watch syncing etc.  My normal days is traveling in car (wireless AA), 1 - 2 hours at the gym playing music and recording sets and sitting at my desk while working.

 

overall very very happy as with the fold 4 i would have to top it up 2 or 3 times a day.

The most impressive thing is that you spend an hour or two at the Gym every day. I need a lie down just thinking about.
