Try using Samsung launcher for a day or two. Uninstall those third party launchers. If can't, try resetting your phone to factory.

I came from s20p and I'm so far very happy with the battery. Easily 1.5 days with lotsa youtube and I don't game.

I read Samsung does well on Youtube. I have tried on N20, 7% battery gives 1 hour SOT playing youtube.

not laggy, but once u exit the app, there's like a slight jump animation before we can press another app etc
yea, i faced this kinda issue too with Nova



mine's around this, FHD+ and adaptive refresh

you mean like pause? yeap if that's what you meant, seems like there's a 2nd layer of invisible screen need to tap or swipe twice to go to the "real screen"

Edited :
Anyway update on my s21 Ultra SOT seems a bit better, but i expect more. Am i asking too much for the price i pay?

5000mAh battery peeps



This battery use is yesterday, did a lot of restarts for the phone lol, testing out of disabling Facebook service(not did it brings any effect towards the battery life)

This one


and result like this

Nova Launcher


Swipe down menu :


The system menu of One UI 3, pixel like icon lol(can't get away from Pixel language design) :

Just got my S21 Ultra yesterday. Wanted to get the 512GB version but don't have stock with ETA unknown. So went for the 256GB. Got the std free gifts plus free 1 yr extended warranty + 1 yr screen protection and free silicon case with S Pen

free silicon case with S Pen wow

how much? very good gift

Standard price of 5299. Was hoping to be eligible for the 1 month instalment waiver but sadly was fully redeemed when I went

Does anyone know how to show the realtime internet usage on the notification bar? Just got my s21+, my other phone can show without using other apps..

I wonder why AOD battery consumption still high on S21 with Exynos2100, compared to Huawei phones. I noticed it's at least around 5-7% overnight.

Exynos drain on idle still the normal haha deng

Snapdragon still are much better hahahaha

Sad but true, how much is your AOD consumption on SD overnight (8H)?

9-10 hours mostly youtube and netflix

How long did you have the phone? Bluetooth & Location on?

I thought my N20 with Exynos 990 overnight 5% is already bad (no Bluetooth). Exynos2100 also?

Yes I have this and its very annoying..I switched back to One UI until new version of NL is released

During the set up when you turn on the phone for the first time, it helps that you dont download all the stock Samsung apps. i only choose 1 or 2 like calendar. much less bloatware running in the background.
Glad that One ui introduced this option to install stock apps but i think many will just select and install all.

Try changing the Nova setting in Look&feel > app animation or animation speed

I tried that and also ever so often I go into advanced settings and restart NL.. seems to help for awhile. There is that half second hiccup when exiting back to home screen and trying to start another app. Actually One UI isn't too bad, I just miss ability to assign a function to swipe up on an icon and a few of the customization features of NL.

Yeah that pause.. kinda ruins everything for me.. pay so much money and get a phone that has a hiccup everytime i exit to homescreen.. so back to One UI for now

1 month old S21. Overheat during whatsapp video call (about 10-15mins on vc) causing other function to disable/close temporarily. How to use multi window lah like dis haha..

Personally i cant do One UI, i cant bear the icons
For the time being,
ill try to dig in what seemed to be a problem with Nova Launcher and try to solve it
