I think it might be something with your phone, not any software update. I'm still using my S21 Ultra that I bought new when they first came out. It is running Android 15 and UI 7 and I am on T-Mobile. I haven't noticed any new signal strength problems lately. However, I signed up for their...

The new method is to press and hold both the old Power Off button and the Volume Down button at the same time until the menu pops up, asking you if you want to power off or restart it. As others have said, you can change it in the settings.

Wife and I did a quick mini vacation to LA for a few days earlier this week. We mainly were there for the Price is Right but we visited a few places in the area. S21U no zoom: S21U 30x zoom: S21U 100x zoom: Flying into Salt Lake City:

Amazon has lots of them.

I have the fast charge settings turned off and I usually wait until the battery shows less than 15-20% before putting it on my wireless charging stand overnight. By the next morning it is back up to 100%. It is my belief that fast charging heats up the battery and wears it out more quickly. I...

Yes, indeed. I bought my S21U 4 years ago and I am still using it. I regularly get 2+ days out of a full charge and I couldn't be happier with it. I keep it in a slim protective case and have a screen protector on it. It still looks brand new when I occasionally take it out of the case...

One of the last S21U holdouts. My S21U is still going strong and I regularly get 2 days out of a full charge. No scratches on the screen or case. Until Samsung comes out with a significantly improved model I'll keep using this one. Please update this thread on what you get to replace it with...

For all of you stargazers, the comet will be around the rest of this week. I live in the suburbs of a big city and have trees all around my house, so I didn't think I would be able to see it. Nonetheless, I went out about an hour after sunset and started looking. I couldn't see it with the...

I haven't noticed any decrease in screen brightness with my S21U. I bought it new 3.5 years ago. Did you go into the Settings > Display and check the settings?

I'm still here. I check the forum every few days and since there usually are no new posts in the S21 section I just move on. I still have my 3.5 year old S21U and I still like it as much as the year I bought it, as I mentioned previously in this thread.

I don't use Bixby but when my Alexa keeps talking I say, "Alexa stop" and that quiets her down.

Enable Biometrics in the Security and Privacy settings so that only you can unlock the screen.

I installed the May 1 security patch about an hour ago.

Yes, I bought my S21U new when it first came out in early 2021. I've kept it because I don't like the look of the newer models with the square corners and I don't think the features they have are all that improved over my S21U. The recent One UI 6.1 update makes mine really nice and all the...

I just installed the May update for my S21 Ultra T-Mobile unlocked. I didn't see any previous threads about it on here.
