Conditions: Issues occurred immediately after the S23 Software Update S911USQU6DYD9 (to Android 15 and One UI 7.0) which was applied to my phone on 04/29/2025.
Issues:
1. Netgear Orbi Android App no longer able to connect to my Netgear Orbi router as administrator I use this app on a daily basis and it worked without difficulty until this latest S23 Software update. The wifi router itself is working fine and I can logon to the router as administrator via wifi from my laptop. The Netgear Orbi app error message suggested that I turn off cell data while using this app. I did that with no effect.
2. Garden Pro E6 Trail Camera Android App no longer able to connect to the trail camera. The connection is made via WiFi. I use this app on a daily basis and it worked without difficulty until the S23 Software update.
I've had a series of different Samsung Galaxy phones and this is my first problem. Anyone else having similar issues?
What was the behavior of your S23 before and after the Apr 28th update? Were S23 apps using your home wifi access running slower after the S23 update? Was the problem with specific apps or all of them?
Samsung/Android Software update bugs once in a while cause widespread issues for some users.
I guessed that two S23 wifi issues that I noticed immediately after the April 2025 S 23 Software update were the result of a possible bug in that update. Of course it is often the case that issues that are not related by a common cause nonetheless cluster. In my case Web searches showed no other S23 users were having the same or similar issues. I posted my issues on the Samsung community forum just to be sure no other users were having a similar problem and quickly eliminated the S23 Software update as the cause.
After taking a closer look at my two problems I determined that my trail cam had a hardware problem requiring the camera's replacement and my Netgear Orbi Android App needed a settings change. Though the MAC address randomization on the S23 may have been a contributing factor. This issue is solved.
They messed up my 2 outdoor security systems with this update!! Right after the install!!! They are going off at nothing. Making me think someone is at my home. I am here and nobody is at the door. 2 different systems. WHAT did you do? I do not like the drop down. You changed my camera to gray and it's hard to find. I do not want your camera off apps when my phone is already nearing capacity. STOP doing that!! I have an Android Galaxy S24. You are ruining my phone. I cannot afford another one.
After the S23 software update I didn't notice any spurious notifications from my Arlo Security Camera Android app. Also the cameras operated normally and I could monitor them as before on my S23 Arlo app.
Samsung flagship phones have always been garbage. They talk them up but then they don't run very good in the long run. S24 Ultra has been broken since day one and they've never fixed it. The phone can't even properly connect to a Wi-Fi 6 connection. They have masqueraded it for years as a problem with your settings but it's a problem with their people who can't code anything properly. All this company can do is put intrusive stuff on your phone. They change settings on senior's phones thinking that's what's best for them which is the worst thing ever. This company is run by **bleep**.
This issue is not resolved. My entire WiFi capability has been disabled on my Galaxy Fold 3. The setting won't toggle to on. I can't connect to any WiFi network. My GPS is not working correctly. I've tried clearing the cache partition in the root menu by holding the volume up and power button. I've tried forgetting and resetting the wifi and Bluetooth information under the Reset menu. Nothing is making WiFi work. This update ruined my phone.
My s23 ultra is also not longer connecting to wifi. I know it's not my wifi cause everyone else's works fine and someone who lives here works for our internet provider and can tell.
