Galaxy A55 September 2024 update India

Despite preparing for its next One UI iteration release, Samsung has continued to release regular patches. As of 6 July 2024, Samsung has started rolling out the latest security update, with the Galaxy A55 being the first device to receive it.

Samsung Galaxy A55 smartphone is getting the July 2024 security update in India and the company will soon make it available in more countries. Users can verify the update with version A556EXXS4AXF6 and have to download a software package of around 225.97MB to install the update.

July 2024 Security Maintenance Release (SMR) combines patches from Google and Samsung. Google brings fixes for 4 critical and 21 high-level vulnerabilities in Android, although 2 are not applicable to Samsung devices.

Samsung has resolved 33 Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE) to further improve device security. These SVE items are mainly related to One UI Home, System Property, System UI, Filter Provider, Secure Folder, Configuration Message, IMS service, Knox, MTP app, and more.

This update brings system security improvement, stability optimization, bug fixes, and enhanced functions to provide an amazing experience. Customers can download it and review the latest changes through the Software Update and tap on Download and Install option in the Settings app.

It is an initial rollout so the company will add more Galaxy devices to the July 2024 update list in the coming weeks or days.

Will Samsung run One UI 7 Beta Program in all countries?

Samsung One UI 7 Beta

Samsung is making pretty different decisions this year, but the question remains the same: will the company run the One UI 7 Beta Program in all countries?

One UI Beta Program was available in seven countries until the last year. This year’s Beta Program didn’t go live in the usual August timeframe, but Samsung confirmed it’s coming later this year.

The One UI 7 Beta will be available for developers by the end of this year. However, the final version will be launched alongside the new Galaxy S series early next year.

Samsung teased a few changes and new features to be included in One UI 7. The software promises to offer a reliable experience, stable functional performance, and useful features.

One UI Beta should be a global affair is a long-standing demand. The Korean tech giant significantly delayed this year’s software distribution plan for all Galaxy devices.

As Beta coming in late 2024 and Stable in early 2025, we assume a short-term Beta Program. Meanwhile, the company hasn’t revealed the market availability of the upcoming Beta.

Running One UI 7 Beta in all countries would be like inviting everyone to a party. It would also help Samsung developers find any little problems before the final version comes out next year.

With the One UI Beta Program in all countries, Samsung could get feedback from a vast audience. Global Beta Program is a difficult task, but think of the payoff: a better product, happier customers.

Shouldn’t Samsung launch One UI 7 Beta in all countries?

Samsung Galaxy S10

Samsung’s recent SmartThings update broke many Galaxy S10 and Note10 devices. Following the reports, the company pulled the update and apologized to consumers. A new release is also reportedly released through Galaxy Store.

Isn’t it too late?

The glitchy SmartThings update led many Galaxy users to lose their data for no reason. As soon as users installed the SmartThings update, their phone was stuck in the boot loop. There’s no solution but to factory reset the device through Recovery.

Samsung acknowledges the recent SmartThings update affected some Galaxy phones running Android 12. We have recently reported problems appearing on Galaxy phones such as the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 series.

New Samsung update could crush your Galaxy, pained many

Samsung revealed that it had stopped updating the SmartThings as soon as it became aware of the issue and working on a solution “as a matter of urgency.” If you have experienced any inconvenience, please contact your nearest service center.

 

Some Galaxy smartphones running Android 12-based One UI operating system, such as the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10 series, have experienced a repeated boot error when updating to the latest version of the SmartThings app.

If you have an idea of factory reset through Recovery, you don’t need to visit the service center. Be aware that you would need to log in with the same Google Account that you were using before factory resetting the device.

Manual data wipe puts Google’s FRP lock for security purposes. In case you don’t have access to credentials, a service center visit is necessary. Samsung may have notified their repair partners to assist you nicely with seamless repairs.
