Samsung Delays Its Big Android 15 Update Due to Bug

Samsung urgently stopped Android 15 (One UI 7) update: Major bugs make phones unable to unlock

After months of waiting, multiple delays and six rounds of testing, Samsung finally released the highly anticipated Android 15 (One UI 7) update early last week. Unfortunately, however, Samsung had to urgently stop the global update due to a serious bug.

On April 7, Samsung began to push One UI 7 updates for Galaxy S24 series, Z Fold 6 and other models in South Korea, and expanded to other regions such as the United States on April 10. But over the weekend, the company found multiple issues, including a major bug, and the update was reportedly removed from servers around the world.

Thief @UniverseIce and @tarunvats33 were the first to disclose this news on the X platform, and the postponement will affect countless models in multiple regions.

What exactly happened? While it is not clear the exact reason for the update to be paused, the report notes that the Galaxy S24 One UI 7 update breaks the capabilities of third-party keyboards such as SwiftKey. After the update is completed, the user cannot enter the password to unlock the phone.

On the Samsung Community Forum, users waiting for updates noticed that all update files have been deleted from Samsung servers, further confirming the delayed message. It seems that Samsung has officially stopped pushing updates to the Galaxy S24 series, Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6.

Until the issue is resolved, we do not expect models in other regions to receive Android 15 updates. Users who have the official version of One UI 7 installed may receive modified updates as soon as possible to fix these potential issues. However, if they can't unlock the phone, I'm not sure how they will accept and install the update. After that, Samsung should restart the larger-scale push of Galaxy Android 15 updates.

Other Samsung phone updates will be further delayed

Unfortunately, this means that other models of One UI 7 updates may also face similar delays. Before Samsung solves the problem with the Galaxy S24 series, don't expect models such as the Galaxy S23, S23, Galaxy S23 Ultra or Fold/Flip 5 to receive updates soon. Basically, the entire update schedule may be delayed by one to two weeks, or even longer.

Therefore, the Galaxy S23 series phones may not see the Android 15 (One UI 7) update until later next week or early May. The update time for older or low-end phones such as the Galaxy A series will be delayed for a longer time. Again, it is too early to draw conclusions, and we will update them in time once we have more news.

Given that the Samsung Galaxy Android 15 update has been delayed from December to April and has undergone a long testing process, it is really surprising that such a serious bug was seen at the last moment. But this does happen, so please rest assured that the problem will be resolved soon.

It is worth noting that Samsung has not officially admitted the extension, but based on all the news we have heard, the situation is not optimistic. That said, Samsung may quickly work on these issues, sending another One UI 7 update to the Galaxy S24 series, and then continuing to offer the highly anticipated updates to other models. You will eventually receive an update, please be patient.
