Is m31 better after updates or worse ?

I have m31 for a week now, software updates are there but didn't download them yet
If anyone have done so, is the update stable and making the phone better or just wasting ram and battery

I am running on the latest update as of 2 Aug, 2020. If you are running on the same firmware which comes pre installed then you should update because most bugs have been fixed which were occuring and phone overheating problem while charging has been reduced a lot for me. It is definitely better after all updates.

August update

I have updated it and is as same as one ui 2.1 just an update of sos facility in messages . I didn't found any update in camera just night mode quality increased.
I just found it as a wastage of 984 mb so i am waiting for update of one ui 3.0.
Pros :-
Night mode is better than before
Sos messages facility
Split keyboard in landscape mode
Cons :-
Waste of 984 mb data since my daily data is completely exhausted
Sometimes play store crashes
Just the ar mode too lags and finally crashes
If you just want to say to everybody that i have a new one ui 2.5 update haha then you can download it and waste your data....
Sorry if someone feels bad with my words, i just wanted to tell that nowdays system update is just a joke either they start making the phone hang or is just useless. Sorry for my frustrated language.
I will definitely tell if i find something useful in this update.
Waiting for custom os since they are faster. When i updated my phone it took a long time but custom os install faster than stock os i.e the os prepared by mobile companies. Thanks for xda.

Samsung m31

I updated in hopes CA is activated, but alas not yet. No 4G+ for us yet

Lucky. For us (Europe) it's still in Feb 2020 and OneUI 2.0.

Question Did anyone get no update at all

A bit worried that all regions get an update or even more than one, and I am sitting here waiting...
S21 ultra exynos, Mena region
Am I alone?

I'm with you as well. UK, Three network and no update since AUAC just after I received the phone.

Nothing for me here in Australia yet

Same here on my US Unlocked version. I ended up just downloading the firmware manually and updated in odin without wiping.

Same, still on AUAC version, Jan security patch. There were two updates since I got the phone in the first few days of Feb.
I'm in New Zealand.
Samsung seems to do a very slow staged approach which I guess is so they catch issues before they affect too many people. But it is a bit frustrating when you really want to see the camera improvements...

I didn't even get the updates you mentioned.

Guys, be aware of the fact that it takes Samsung a few weeks (up to month) to push out each update to every supported CSC. I literally just got my update (that released on 2/11/21) about five minutes ago, lol - and that's in North America.
So don't expect to get each update with this device as soon as it launches in one specific region. You just have to wait a little longer with Samsung devices (or, you can do it manually if your update is already publicly available online).
But with all of that said, this update is only around 350mb and is listed to only contain the February 1st security update and another camera performance increase update. So no worries, people! (and someone can make a pinned post with some of this general information if they want to. This is our community development forum, and so I want people to know what's going on out there).

Not so much that, but carrier versions need carrier approval.

T-mobile US I had to search for the update but just installed it.

How? Same carrier and I've got nothing

Sadly there is NO CLEAR thread that explains in SIMPLE terms, for what exact model, what firmware version need to be installed in order to avoid data wipe.
Example XXUC = you can install only XCI, XCP, and XCR version safely without wipe.
Version IUYC = you can install only xxx, xxxx, and xxx version safely without wipe.
Every thread that i have read, looks confusing, does not state what can cause brick, what to keep an eye on, nothing!

Question SM-G998B AUE1 MAY UPDATE

You can post what you feel about the update here .
For me
1) qr code in camera app is way faster
2) camera doesnt heat up the phone now
3) gaming also runs cooler
4) animations are better
5) expect an sot of 1h more than you got with april update.
Looking for more changes ..
Tell me in comment .
I think samsung is doing a great job ,
I was about to trade off my s21 ultra with mi 11 ultra , but this update has stopped me doing so.

I can't wait until my phone recieve the update.
This is so promising that samsung still fixing and adding new features every month.

I would say a 10% better everything even though it might be a placebo. All running smooth. Used the camera a lot today for pics and videos. Youtube, browsing and etc, and now 3:33 SOT and battery at 46%. I guess that may be a tad better than before. Camera seems better too somehow.

I think they are moving towards apple kind of ecosystem and software.
And if they can do that , i am not leaving samsung for as long as they maintain that .
They still need to work on animations , accidental touches, and 60-120 hz management in some apps

First full day with May's update. I did a clean install via Odin since it was the second update in a row of over 1GB.
Everything is running smoothly. Battery I think is maybe 5-10% better but have to give it a few days. Can't comment on the camera yet. Usage is on WiFi, 120Hz, FHD+.

Is it officially out for india?? I haven't got it yet!

It's officially out for India, however the OTA rollout seems to be taking some time.

something wrong with european Updates (less DBT). No Spain, Uk, etc.

Try Frija, its very fast to download it.

wise advice. I only use one time to install PHE before change CSC, then always wait for OTA

OKay, will wait it out then. Last month I received the update on April 9th; so this time I presume it will be similarly timed.

I'm able to achieve 10hours Sot (48 hours cycle) on this release, prior to that the sot was in the 8/9 hours. I mostly use browser, youtube, youtube music and ocasional gaming (Wild Rift)

On Vodafone model in UK so I expect it will be a couple of weeks before I get this but it sounds like it makes what is already one of the best phones money can buy even better.
Great to see Samsung get the Exynos up to near Snapdragon levels of quality at last.

Unlocked exynos UK here, no sign of the update yet. I've read it improves the shutter response, which would be great!

If you can see the new cpu performance setting on device care (with the option: maximum, instead of just: balanced and high), so you officially got the features of OneUI 3.1.1 (like international users).

They're screwing you up, this update is all about installing spyware and ****, that's why they didn't even think about changing the description.

^ wow! that's the most morose take i've ever seen for a fw update

Doesn't seem to have the cpu performance setting, it still just shows adapative and enhanced processing options only....

from what i have read it removes ads from samsung apps

Guess Samsung will add it again with the newer update, always based on 3.1 but with some features taken from 3.1.1.

Heh that was a drunken joke about people being paranoid about updates.
I actually never update Windows after the initial install because it ****s with my finely tuned settings, always ends up costing me latency, but it's mostly the opposite on Android.

I'm curious about those 3 power options affecting the overall performance of the CPU, could someone run Geekbench5 on all 3? I'd give it some time space in between to cool the phone down for each test. Thanks in advance.

if you have made any tuning,share it with us so that we can all improve our beast!

Here's mine. I have most battery intensive options on though, like 120 fps and such.

Bananablob debloated?

Yes, on latest MIUI Mix. I'm debloated in the sense that the rom is pre debloated itself.
Also, I'd be surprised if a few bloatwares would reduce a performance score that much.
What adjustments do you suggest ?

This phone really rocks in China, it is a shame global version doesn't get the same treatment. Well I really want to flash the official China ROM, unfortunately I won't be able to until next week when I finally have access to my pc
