According to reports, the display refresh rate drops below 60Hz while scrolling in Galaxy Store on the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. This reduced refresh rate destroys the pro-grade user experience, which is available on other, even third-party applications.

When you scroll the screen in Galaxy Store, you would face stutter (a low refresh rate) on all Galaxy S23 smartphone models. Even, you might head toward system Settings to ensure whether your phone running on Adaptive motion smoothness or not.

It’s worth mentioning that the low refresh rate support for Galaxy Store feels like budget phone usage to the S23 consumers. And probably, it might not be an S23-limited issue, as Samsung’s own app distribution platform doesn’t feel smooth on more Galaxy phones too.

There are also talks that the recent firmware update destroyed Galaxy Store’s scrolling smoothness on the Galaxy S23 series. Anyway, Samsung must look into the matter and re-optimize the Galaxy Store for the latest flagship, custom chipset, and the new One UI 5.1 software.

If you are facing the same issue on your Galaxy S23 phone, try clearing the Galaxy Store cache and user data once, followed by a reboot. It should somehow make the experience better, and as a temporary solution, we suggest you access Galaxy Store only for One UI app updates, as everything is already available on Play Store.

This new screenshot feature appears as an addition to your brand-new Samsung One UI 5.1. Once installed, you can find it in the quick settings.

But first, you need to do some customizations. Navigate to your phone’s home screen and drop down the quick settings. Next, you need to tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.

Select “Edit buttons”. From the available buttons area, tap and hold on to the “Take screenshot” button. Do remember that you need to touch and hold (simultaneously) and drag the button among the quick settings icons.

You can reposition the button at the same time. Once positioned, you will have to touch “Done” in the bottom right corner to finalize the changes. There you have it, your new screenshot button in easy to access place.

Take a quick Screenshot:

For me, the screenshot is a time-saving and easy-to-send information feature. And I think a lot of users would agree with me on this subject.

Therefore, the entry of a quick screenshot button inside the quick setting made things easy. Also, it has reduced some burden on those physical side keys that I need to press to get the job done.

Yes, the palm swipe to capture is there but I have a hard time using that feature.

Now, all I need to do is to open the quick settings panel and touch on the added ‘Take screenshot’ button and it will capture the screen for me.

This is what I’ve looking for and now, as a proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, One UI 5.1 made the screenshot process so easy that I only need to fetch out S Pen when there’s a need to mark something special.

Otherwise, you are ready to take a screenshot, anytime anywhere.

A user on the Reddit platform claims that his Galaxy S21 smartphone is giving very less time on-screen. Even after using common social media applications, the phone gets discharged very fast and is heating with normal usage.

In the meantime, a user says that he fully charged his Galaxy S21 smartphone at night and kept it aside after short use, when he woke up in the morning, the phone’s battery had dropped by 15% to 20% automatically.

That’s not it, there are various threads and reports about the battery drain and overheating issues of the Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphone. Customers are complaining about these for a long time but still, there is no fix.

Samsung needs to seriously work on this problem. Customers buy such flagship smartphones to get pro-grade performance without any issues and if these issues keep cropping up then what would be the purpose of a flagship? Such problems are not only affecting the performance of the phone but also reducing the trust of users in Samsung devices.

February 23:

A Galaxy S21 Plus model user has reported that his phone’s 85% battery is offering just 4 hours of screen time. He is using the phone with a 120Hz refresh rate, maximum 50% brightness extra dim, and location and mobile data off. This is normal usage but his phone is giving less battery life.

February 20:

The heavy battery drain issue continues to appear for Galaxy S21 users. A user briefed that even after replacing the phone, he has to charge the device 2 to 3 times a day as its battery is draining too early. He also claims that none of the apps is running in the background and still his S21 is consuming a lot of battery.

February 11:

Even the new buyers of Galaxy S21 smartphones are facing battery drain and heating issues. A user has told that his S21 barely lasts for half of the day as well as it gets heated all the time while using it.

February 7:

Many other Galaxy S21 series users have conveyed their concerns about the overheating problems they are facing on their smartphones. A user said his phone always gets uncomfortably warm during light use or even just sitting at the home screen with no background apps running.

February 6:

The battery drain issue of Galaxy S21 is getting worst with time. A user recently reported that his phone is getting discharged around 3% every hour even when the screen is off. He lost 25% of his phone’s battery in 8 hours without doing anything to it.

February 3:

Users of Galaxy S21 smartphones continue to meet battery drain problems, even worst issues. A user reported that a full 100% change is only lasting for 5 hours and the system usage does not include video streaming, installing apps, or anything like that.

January 31:

Samsung Galaxy S21 battery drain and overheating issues are still appearing online. Users are really disappointed with the battery performance and asking for a fix.

Meanwhile, a Galaxy S21 user said that turning off the “Nearby device scanning” feature worked for him. Don’t know if this completely fixes the problem, however, this might help in saving battery as a nearby device scanner runs in the background even when you don’t need it.

To turn it off, you need to go to your phone’s Settings and navigate to Connections >> More connection settings. Finally, turn off the Nearby device scanning toggle.
