Lagging issue appeared on Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra after Android 12 One UI 4.0 update
Later last month, Samsung started rolling out the official Android 12-based One UI 4.0 stable update for Galaxy Note 20 series devices in several regions. However, it looks like the major Android OS upgrade has some bugs or issues that occur performance and/or animation lags.
In contrast, a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra user recently reported on the community forum that he’s facing lagging issues on the smartphone just after upgrading to the One UI version 4.0. Additionally, the user said that the performance lag happens while scrolling and shifting between apps.

Due to this issue, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphone users are quite disappointed as they are waiting for the Android 12 and One UI 4.0 update for a long time. And the arrival of this type of performance issue obviously lessens the user experience.
However, some users shared a possible way to get rid of this issue, that is as follows:
The users state that, after a major update, the OS re-indexes system files in the background, then you may experience some lag and thermal issues. Users say to calm down and see if the lag is still occurring after a few days. If so, you can do a factory reset.
On the other hand, another user commented that he has waited for over 12 hours for indexing to complete and tried a factory reset, but it didn’t work either. At this point, users have come to the conclusion that they should wait for Samsung to fix the bug with future updates.

Galaxy S23 Dolby Atmos audio quality drops after One UI 6.1.1, fix coming soon
After installing the One UI 6.1.1 update, several Samsung Galaxy S23 users have noticed a drop in audio quality, especially with Dolby Atmos. Users reported that the audio now sounds “tinny and washed out,” which used to be a clear and rich sound before the update.
At first, Samsung denied there was a problem. However, as more and more people reported the same issue, Samsung finally acknowledged that something was causing the issue.
Samsung has explained that the issue was caused by a change in the Dolby Atmos software. The update moved from Dolby Atmos version 3.10 to 3.12. This update was intended to enhance the 360 Audio feature. Unfortunately, it also affected the overall sound quality, which some users found disappointing.
Further, the Korean tech giant has mentioned that the new audio tuning may sound less clear or less punchy compared to what users were used to with the previous version of Dolby Atmos.
Samsung confirmed that it has communicated the issue to Dolby and is actively working on a fix. The two companies are working together to release an updated version of the Dolby Atmos library to fix the issue.
Users were expecting that the issue would be solved in the November 2024 security update, but so far, that hasn’t happened. Samsung has not yet given a specific date for when the fix will arrive, but they are aware of the issue and are working on a solution.
In the meantime, Galaxy S23 users who are experiencing the audio issue are advised to stay tuned for future updates that may address this issue.
