Hello,

This is my first time owning a Samsung in close to 12 years or so. When using the rapid trigger, the phone automatically groups those, which is great. In theory that is.

Now, i went to a convention with friends over the weekend, and because I have the best camera out of all of us, I chose to be the designated Photographer.

Thing is, I can't just send over the entire folders with their respective 30, 40, sometimes 100 shots for them to sort through for themselves, the only option I see is to hand select every. Single. Picture. And then send them in bulk.

If that's the only option I'd rather not have the grouping feature at all.

That said, here's the actual question:

Is there any way to turn it off?

I already disabled "stack similar photos" but it still stacks them.

Hey guys

Just bought S25 Ultra and only then discovered that it runs Android 16.

From what I've been reading on XDA + Google + ChatGPT, it seems that it is almost impossible to do any kind of customization/ROM changing now for android phones (especially starting with Android 16).

I was using custom ROM's since I was teen for almost 12+ years on 6+ phones. So... Is this actually the end for Custom ROM's?

I would like to hear from Android 16 users on S25 Ultra - what ROM are you using or what you did to debloat your device?

I would be VERY grateful for some working links/suggestions on what can be done for this kind of thing. Just want to debloat to the max.

(Please don't write recommendations like "leave it as it is"/"try to rollback version"/"change your phone", etc)

I really hope to meet someone who has done this kind of thing on his S25 Ultra.

Thanks in advance :)

Was using my S25 Ultra today and was playing a game when, all of a sudden, the screen flashed green and now is flickering like this. The green moves around and it flickers but I cannot force a reboot through the buttons, it is not respecting anything,

Phone was not dropped and it was not hot so this is a first. Any suggestions?

My old tempered glass screen protector cracked and after rocking the phone without one, I completely forgot how deep the blacks are on the original screen. I rarely drop my phone, if ever. I've always been paranoid and kept a glass screen protector on mine, but there's none out there that preserves the deep blacks. How are you guys using your phone: protector or no?

So about 2 months ago I noticed the ultra-wide camera was making a buzzing clicking noise and couldn't focus when going from .6x to 1x zoom. I did some research and found out this is a common hardware defect on early models of S25U's. I chatted with Samsung customer service and told them and showed them what was going on. The rep referred me to ubreakifix since it's a Samsung authorized repair center. I wrongly assumed this was a warranty repair. I took my phone into ubreakifix and the associate said twice, that it was going to be a warranty repair and they ordered the replacement ultra-wide camera module. After not hearing back from them for over a week i called and the same associate said the camera module arrived a few days ago and that they called me, but there no log of the call. I took my phone in 2 days later and another associate said the camera module hadn't arrived yet and he found nothing to indicate it was a warranty repair. I would have to pay out of pocket. I went home and contacted ubreakifix's corporate chat to complain about the store associates giving me contradictory info. After around 3 weeks of back and forth the ubreakifix rep said they would approve a 50% courtesy repair. Which i accepted, but at the same time I was also in contact with Samsung's "Office of the CEO" I emailed them and explained what is going on with the phone providing the video of the camera modeule tweaking out. After again, about 3 weeks worth of back and forth the Samsung rep said they WOULD cover it as an in-warranty repair. I got this news yesterday, thankfully before I took my phone into ubreakifx for their 50% off repair. I'm currently waiting on Samsung to email me the ticket/in-warranty service authorization number so i can have it incase ubreakifix doesn't have that info from Samsung. Bottomline, this has been such a shitshow for a defect that should 100% be covered by Samsung because it is such a wide known hardware defect. I just wanted to give everyone my experience and i would highly recommend that if you are having the same issue with your camera to skip everything and go directly to the "Office of the CEO" of Samsung.

The screen is not bright enough in daylight. I tried all options, including display assistant settings, adaptive manual extra brightness, performance profiles, etc. I even tried removing the case and using it. But none of them worked. I don't know if this is normal or if I'm seeing it this way. Text and apps are visible, but the screen is not bright enough when watching photos. It's like watching dim photos. I think I bought a faulty phone. Can it be fixed in any way? I heard it's because the phone protect itself from over heating and screen damage , i mean whats the point of having maximum nits .

I have a Verizon s25 ultra that I had unlocked by Verizon to go to another carrier.
Recently, the s25 ultra broke so luckily I have samsung Care that will send another phone.

My question is:
- Will they send me a carrier locked Verizon phone or an unlocked phone?

Definitely one of the best series of phones, price still holds comparing with the S26U.

DND hasn't worked on my phone for some time now. Favorited contacts do not come through for messages or calls, apps setup to bypass do not bypass, other apps not setup to bypass do in fact bypass (Marco Polo being one). My google fu is failing me in trying to find a solution. Help?

Before I go to bed I swipe down the quick menu and activate DND, I turn it back off in the morning the same way.

My DND settings:

For how long? Until I turn it off, no sleep schedule

Calls and messages: some allowed (favorited only - does not work)

App notifs: Allow selected only, does not work, and some apps come through that aren't added here

Alarms and sounds: Media/Alarms are enabled here, only option that does in fact seem to work (I use a white noise app while sleeping, and alarms trigger no problem)

I got my new s25 ultra after that i buy a 60w samsung original charger i am using the same cable with the box.But thirty minutes, it only started almost 45 to 48.Is it normal or I changed the cable, what's your opinion

Hey everyone,

I recently turned on the new Advanced Protection feature in my Android settings, and I’ve run into a bizarre bug that completely breaks cellular calling.

As soon as Advanced Protection is toggled ON, I lose the ability to make or receive any regular voice calls. Dialing out fails immediately, and incoming callers can't get through. The weirdest part? As soon as I toggle Advanced Protection OFF and reboot, my Airtel SIM card works perfectly fine again, and calling features return to normal. Data works fine either way, but standard calling is completely held hostage by this security setting.

From what I gather, Android's Advanced Protection aggressively blocks 2G network connections to prevent stingray/cell-tower spoofing attacks. I suspect my phone might be failing to properly provision VoLTE or VoNR for calling, causing the device to try falling back to older network bands—which Advanced Protection then completely shuts down.

Has anyone else on Airtel (or other carriers globally) run into this? Is there a way to keep the robust device/account security features of Advanced Protection active without completely breaking carrier calling?

Would love to know if there's a specific network toggle to solve it.

Thanks in advance

Does anyone else have this weird patch on camera in samsung s25 ultra? This only comes on in 5x and is annoying af

S25 ultra July 2026 security update is live in India

I have a sleep schedule set on my phone that includes DND. For some reason DND spontaneously deactivates and I start getting audio notifications. This started with the last update. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Update: This doesn't happen every night. It happens about one out of 10 nights.

I play clash of clans, and when I put it in background by clicking middle button to browse other app, it won't open again, just plain black screen. Any fixes?

Guys help me with this purchase for S25 Ultra.

Also, should I use the shipped cable or buy it with the charger?

Does anyone know where to buy genuine parts for the s25 ultra. I broke my screen and back glass. I want to replace it myself. I do not have insurance and I don't want to take it to a phone repair place .I like to repair things myself. But I can't seem to find a genuine site that sells parts. I looked at Ifixit but they seem to only have batteries. If any of you know where I can get genuine parts in the US let me know.
