(Image credit - Samsung) Samsung’s One UI 7 update rollout hit a sudden pause shortly after it began last week, and now the company has responded, though the details remain pretty vague. After months of waiting, Galaxy users were finally getting the update, only for it to be pulled back without much explanation. The update was initially released for devices like the Galaxy S24, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6, but it was quietly removed from Samsung’s servers just a few days later. Confirming the pause to Android Authority in a statement, Samsung said it would share a new release timeline “shortly.” The company said, “The One UI 7 rollout schedule is being updated to ensure the best possible experience. The new timing and availability will be shared shortly.” While the company hasn’t explained what went wrong, some possible issues are now coming to light. Tipster Ice Universe claimed that Samsung found a bug where some Galaxy S24 users couldn’t unlock their phones at all. In a post on X, the tipster said, “Samsung urgently reviewed the firmware withdrawal in other countries. Have you ever encountered a bug where your Galaxy phone occasionally cannot be unlocked?” The reason for the delay in the Galaxy S24 push is that users of the official version of One UI7 of the Korean S24 series found that "they could not be unlocked normally in some cases."

While it’s unclear if this is the same issue Samsung is addressing, it definitely sounds like something that could halt a major software update. Other users have also reported problems like battery drain and even a security concern with the Secure Folder feature. Android Authority previously reported that Samsung acknowledged the delay on its Korean community forums, calling it a maintenance issue. According to the company, those problems have now been fixed, and the update should start rolling out again soon. Even if we don’t get the full story, fans have rightly pointed out that One UI 7’s launch is already shaping up to be one of Samsung’s most chaotic software rollouts to date. FAQs Q1.
