I transferred all my data using SmartSwtich from a locally attached SD data card.

One thing I should have done was check for app updates in 3 places: Play Store, Samsung Store and Play Store in Secure Folder as I ran into a few oddities getting logged back into things. There were 44 app updates on the Play store and a lesser number in the other two.

I had a lot of issues with GPS inaccuracy with my cycling/hiking app (Cyclemeter) with the last Galaxy phone. Hoping that won't be an issue with the 25 Ultra.

Calibrated Google maps

 Open app and move phone in figure-8 pattern

In Settings

Location permission

 Verified Cyclemeter was set to allow only when using the app 

 Toggled use precise location

Battery settings:

Selected Unrestricted under Battery radio button

Toggled on Application data usage: Allow data usage while Data saver is  on

I will be most interested to see how you get on as I had to return 2 24 Ultras as they wouldn't track hiking accurately (particularly elevation gain) when using Samsung Health and I would get elevation gain recorded that was 40-50x actual elevation as the elevation profile constantly thought I was moving up and down

I had success tracking a nearly 40 mile breezy/chilly bicycle ride. Elevation gain appeared to be accurate in the Cyclemeter app. Much better experience than my previous S24+ in that regard. Tracking rides during the first couple months of use were grossly inaccurate at times.

I don't use Samsung Health so can't comment on what may be going on there.

I was experiencing an ai core crash while getting the same result. Did you experience that by a chance?
