Samsung One UI 5.1 bugs, issues and problems reported by Galaxy users

Samsung’s Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update brought some severe bugs and issues, which seem unfixed in the One UI 5.1 too. Starting February 13, Samsung is treating flagship Galaxy devices with the new One UI 5.1 software, which has several features and improvements.

The new One UI 5.1 update is available for various Galaxy devices including the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Fold 4, and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Issues like battery drain and system lag may be fixed as soon as the new software optimizes with your device, however, we are listing what emerged so far.

After installing the One UI 5.1, some Galaxy S22 smartphone users reported having abnormal battery drain problems. Since we are already covering the battery drain issue of the S22 series, it seems unresolved on the One UI 5.1 firmware too. Here’s what users said (1, 2, 3):

“If only rollback could be done I would do it without a second thought. One UI 5.1 destroyed the autonomy of the MIO S22 ultra which until Sunday was 7 hours of display with moderate use and 42 hours of stand-by with light use.”

Another issue is related to the lack of features, which users have seen in the Galaxy S23 smartphone reviews. The One UI 5.1 doesn’t bring the iOS-inspired image-lifting feature to the Galaxy S22 series, which makes users disappointed. Here’s what users said (1, 2):

“Hi all, is it possible that the photo contour function on the s 23 ultra with one ui 5.1 is there while on the s 22 ultra fresh from the update it is not there? Do you think they will implement it or is it all a ploy to make us spend more money to switch to the next model?”

Apart from this, some users are also facing a problem, causing them not to enable the WLAN (WiFi) calling toggle, and the Bluetooth gets enabled itself. Moreover, the user reported having a network signal reception problem, which has not been fixed with the One UI 5.1 update either. Statement below:

“Hello, updated the phone with 5.01 the wifi call has disappeared and the problem of signal reception still remains..”

One UI 5.0 update brought a new Wallpaper and style section, from where you can customize the wallpaper settings of your smartphone. After updating to the One UI 5.1, users are no longer getting the Color Palette adjustment popup after turning the wallpaper, which makes it a bit difficult to pick the preferred color palette.

Google Wallet is a widely used application, which is a great alternative to Samsung Pay service. Some European consumers of the Galaxy devices reported that the Google Wallet is no longer serviceable after installation of the new One UI 5.1 update. Here’s what a user said:

“Today I downloaded the One UI 5.1 update and did a factory data reset, but it no longer allows me to set up my cards for contactless payments on Google wallet (up until now they have always worked perfectly).”

As of now, Samsung has neither replied to any of the users’ feedback/reports nor pulled the One UI 5.1 rollout. As said at the beginning, most of the bugs and issues are natural as One UI 5.1 is a major firmware update. Meanwhile, problems like toggle, UI changes, and battery drain should be acknowledged.
