Thank you! Most of these Tech TH-camrs are ignoring things like these. These new AI features are useless if they keep removing key features. The Smart Select feature removal is diabolical.
Same here, specially GIF making feature using S pen is the biggest blunder they done intentionally, will not buy any samsung phone in future@@NYVET48TFW
@@CUNEYT_ERY Yeah they did which is crazy to me then they added the ability to change it with LockStar using Good lock but when they updated to 6.1.1 again its gone so who knows why?
Terrific critique. Removing features of an "Ultra", devalues the "premium" user experience. Maybe just rename the phone to Galaxy "Modest". Why alienate users by nuking valued features? Maybe they want to rev up Apple's sales!
@Mar.T.365 they do this frequently. "Selective color" was removed and missing for years and then suddenly returned to "photo editing " it is a favorite of mine like gif maker
They are always removing something. I'm pissed with smart select GIF removal, I was pissed with live message removal and do you remember back when they removed dual cam? Thank God that's back. Why do they always remove something???? Really pissing me off. I think they enjoy doing it, not sure. Lol.
They remove Gif maker and before that they remove live messages now they give you extra steps to pin the smart select . What happen with samsung they remove the things we love
That's why I stopped updating my phone ...or one major update for the current model if reviews are really important...because company tries its best to sell one phone the software it comes with are the most strongest ones ...thanks for update bro
Not only that, the S pen can't connect to the Google translation dictionary. In my opinion, this was the worst thing because many languages are still not translated by the Samsung dictionary, many users got nervous.
Update should be taking away well lived features, its like their trying to piss off their customers. No reason to get rid of the SD card, 3.5 jack or superfast chargers bundled with their top of the line phones.
The GIF removal is a perfect example of how Samsung is making 2 steps forward and three steps back, then they send out a 1GB update in which the majority of the new stuff is useless.
I have a Flip 6. The "new" smart select does not include the circle/oval choice. I used that a lot when editing photos (mostly of my dog!). I really miss it.
I have been a Samsung owner since the Galaxy S2 and have long since learned to update my phones carefully with Samsung. I have my samsung s23 ultra with UI 5.1 July 2024 and I will never update for anything in the world to Android 14. Battery and camera are of extraordinary quality, it never heats up and is always super responsive and never a lag, the small aesthetic changes do not they are absolutely worth it, I can get the stupid things with AI simply by downloading third party apps while with the battery and general performance I can't. Be smart. Thanks to the channel for being attentive to these details that others have not noticed.
On tablets you now need to take ~4 more steps just to copy and paste a screenshot into a notetaking app when previously you could just use your pen and drag the screenshot in.
What bugs me the most is that Samsumg took away the option to make gifs. I constantly used that feature. First Samsung snatched away S Pen support from the S 21 Ultra that I had, now this BS with my brand new Z Fold 6?! ...I'm pretty close to dumping Samsung. 🤬
Is there anyway to keep or regain these removed features and still keep my S24 Ultra up to date...like a separate app, etc...kind of like the customization apps from Samsung (Theme Park, Keys Cafe, NotiStar, etc)?
Its just a small feature we can't say its a major disappointment. Smart select is now integrated with ai and other features like ovel and animation are under development may be.
I have only had the S24 Ultra for a short time , but I feel that before the update it was possible to add individual videos or background images to contacts when calling. Now it is no longer possible ? I didn't find this feature.
That's actually gonna annoy me when I update my 23 Ultra.. I liked it to be on a separate panel cause I don't actually use panel for apps, now I gotta have apps panel with smart select in it (with less options to offer than before) kinda deal breaker tho
Wow you are really good with Samsung phones! It just really hurts to hear gif pronounced like in gift. Even though the dictionary accepts both, the creator pleads that people pronounce it like the peanut butter JIFF. Gif rhymes with Jiff believe it or not, ask the 1987 creator. :) But you are seriously good with these S series, whew!
No one is talking about being able to copy text from pdf files in notes app which is disabled since circle to search so now each time google sees my screen when I want to even copy a small bit of text from pdf stupid
reminds me of when they removed dedicated finger print. Idk why they do this I use smart select all the time. Also, you can resize on the fly with the old smart select before you take the screen shot.
Anyone else notice the "dynamic spacing between photos" (in Gallery Labs) has disappeared with the new update?! All my photos have thick white borders again... 🙁
Samsung seems to be crapping the bed with these transitional updates. Omitting longstanding quality functions from updated apps and changing the overarching design language of the OneUI software....i.e., ergonomic and functional reachability in spite of screen size. Must be some fresh new designers on the team that have no clue as to why things were the way they were. Just poor, poor quality control from a design update perspective
They removed screen write, why why why! Screen write is great for taking long screenshots of web pages and etc. It's now on the air command floating panel when using only the s pen. They fix things that never were broken!
Also the small exclamation circle underneath photos has gone. You could press this and options would appear to remaster or blur background. That is no longer under photos in the gallery 😢
If you swipe up on the screen while viewing a photo, you should see several options appear, including remaster and others based on the type of photo that you have open 🙂
Tha new smart select is way much better compared to the old version, but removing the gif creater is unacceptable. I not really used that feature, but i see why is it a loss. Anyway for the main purpose the new smartselect fits better.
Free crop lasso crop is gone. I'm super mad as hell. If Samsung does not bring it back I'm selling all my Samsung products S24U, Buds 3 pro and Watch Ultra. Damn you Samsung. I do tonnes of editing with the lasso crop
Good morning from Greece. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with OneUI 6.1. I have noticed that the Smart Select feature from OneUI 6.1.1 is available on my device. I am curious to know how this has occurred.
Hopefully one UI 7 either fixes this or there's like a good revamp because I think you can all agree oneui 5.1 was probably the best version not saying 6.1 is bad but there's some features that it did remove that took some used to getting to so hopefully 7 either bring some features back or gives like a nice revamp
Battery drain is the biggest problem/issue on this update 😢 My phone doesn't last a full day anymore. Hope they'll fix this not the other small "problems"
I feel like this new smart select never gets the areas i need to clip. The old smart select was just right. hopefully they improve it or just give us the option to use the old one. If it ain't broke, don't fix it
I use my tablet for lectures. The new AI has made it so hard for me to clip a certain lecture note / pic from my lecture notes and drag it to my samsung notes. That no longer works. I'm very upset
Please check the notification sound because in my S24 Ultra only the notification sound not clear and not dynamic like before and it sound like a mono sound because it coming out of one speaker instead of both but all other sounds like media or phone ringing are good and the sound coming out of the 2 speakers of the phone. Also I see the battery drain faster. Please check that and let us know. Thanks in advance
Yes..true. sticker making with image from gallery seems to be missing. Do let me know how to create sticker now in 6.1.1 updated..thanks saki bhai. Balram indonesia
I dare say Samsung copped a lot of flak for gif maker. Both from companies that specialise in making gif making apps and TH-cam. The circle cut out festure was a weird one to begin with. Used for what exactly?
The new AI select takes extra time to process and it is very difficult to take screenshot with it. Smart select was automatically able to detect the screenshot user wants to take but this new stupid AI can't select subject on the screen even if we draw it with S-Pen.
Thank you! Most of these Tech TH-camrs are ignoring things like these. These new AI features are useless if they keep removing key features. The Smart Select feature removal is diabolical.
It's unacceptable and Samsung has lost me as a customer, this is the LAST Samsung device for me, never again!
Same here, specially GIF making feature using S pen is the biggest blunder they done intentionally, will not buy any samsung phone in future@@NYVET48TFW
The GIF removal removal definitely pissed me off. Why would you do that? It makes no sense
Suppose to come back sometime this month with and update
@@Tony15Hill I hope so man. They need to hurry the hell up. I used it quite a bit and it was so convenient.
@Johnny0nDaSpot yea, I used it almost every day and didn't update my phone purposely cause it was removed and my phone updated by itself
We want 'Smart Select' Back.
The gif animator is a deal-breaker
Im sooo mad about the GIF Creator being removed!
true
Its still there
@@styleskeepemmad1429 not if you updated.
@ProudDMims i have the update. U still can. All you have to do is go to a video and hit the 3 buttons. Or screen record what u want first then do it.
6.1.1 also removed a very popular feature not talked about and that is the ability to adjust the AOD brightness!!
yeah they removed this option long time ago :(
@@CUNEYT_ERY Yeah they did which is crazy to me then they added the ability to change it with LockStar using Good lock but when they updated to 6.1.1 again its gone so who knows why?
@@steve_rogers_usmc1990 i didnt know this option were in good lock , i tought they completely removed
that was removed in the s24 s23 still had till it was updated also
yeah and it is available on lockstar now
These company will be downgrading and they still called it upgrade 😡😡😡
Yes in one ui 5.1 I could set the clock on the edge of display on AOD but on one UI 6.1 this option has disappeared😢
Companies no more love customers they just milking us...
But all the new stuff doesn't weigh heavier then some not so every day features
@baddest_dave no they probably took it out because it's popular and they want you play with ai stuff
@@rotrose92796.1.1 bring it back

I hope Samsung is watching you and put that back. Because I'm mad too. Been S Series users since 2020.
Same the whole point of an update is to add features not take them away:(
the lasso smart select was also removed aside from the oval select... I am so pissed off about losing something that is so useful for me...
What's Samsung up to here??? They had to know that removing a couple of these features would piss some people off!
@Mar.T.365 they do this frequently. "Selective color" was removed and missing for years and then suddenly returned to "photo editing " it is a favorite of mine like gif maker
@napoleon-sk5oc please complain on their community board and on X.
I am not surprised after removal of IR Blaster from S7 edge

The clock style for the AOD has also been removed. You cannot change it from the Settings. You have to go to GOOD LOCK TO CHANGE IT.
They remove Gif maker and before that they remove live messages now they give you extra steps to pin the smart select . What happen with samsung they remove the things we love
One of my daily favorite features. The update is cumbersome and I'm mad about it too.
Im so mad 😠 about that too. No gif creation anymore 😕
Thank you for this informative update. I was one of those who was mad about this lost feature, but only one third of it was saved. Disappointing!
That's why I stopped updating my phone ...or one major update for the current model if reviews are really important...because company tries its best to sell one phone the software it comes with are the most strongest ones ...thanks for update bro
Buddy ,smart select was my favourite in edge panel really disappointed
Still angry at the loss of AOD options
Yes I do miss that ANIMATION😢 🤔
Not only that, the S pen can't connect to the Google translation dictionary. In my opinion, this was the worst thing because many languages are still not translated by the Samsung dictionary, many users got nervous.
Yesssss I'm very angry with that 😤 😒 😑 🤬😡😣😖
Most of these languages in the Samsung dictionary are for international customers only, so it doesn't matter.
Whaaaatttttt? Samsung is crazy
same here! only Samsung translate is available😢😢
Gift maker it's gone and I'm mad about that!
Fr man this sucks
So it is gone ... it disappeared when I looked at my Flip 6 ... grrrr
Thanks for continuing to be informative. I guess it will return but when?
Crap I didn't know this.
@@guntherfurlong me neither, i never knew we had that and now im pissed i dont have it now.
Brilliant. Thanks. I used this app many times. I've spent hours looking for it
Same here. They removed those feature so we resort to using their new "AI" features.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully they'll bring it back soon.

S pen still works for me did they remove certain functions?
@@neiliewheeliebin The display still responded to the S Pen but the feature functionality disappeared.
This is downgrade ,not upgrade
Why
Since u remove something which is usefull it means downgrade, bit thankfully they brough it back,cus people been asking for it.
I got an S24 after using S9 since 2018. This downgrad shenanigans among other things is why this might be my last Samsung phone.
LOL
Is there anyway to keep or regain these removed features and still keep my S24 Ultra up to date...like a separate app, etc...kind of like the customization apps from Samsung (Theme Park, Keys Cafe, NotiStar, etc)?
It was still there in the Good Lock app. Now, it has even been removed there. Sucks!!
It may still be available on the S Pen smart select?
So, smart select is essentially the same as circle to search.
I apparently didn't get the sound and quality effects features update
They gotta add it back?? Isnt samsung all about customization and choices
They will add it again in next upgrade.
Its just a small feature we can't say its a major disappointment. Smart select is now integrated with ai and other features like ovel and animation are under development may be.
I have only had the S24 Ultra for a short time , but I feel that before the update it was possible to add individual videos or background images to contacts when calling. Now it is no longer possible ? I didn't find this feature.
Good job updating the community... I think it's because of TH-cam guidelines so they removed it permanently.
That's actually gonna annoy me when I update my 23 Ultra.. I liked it to be on a separate panel cause I don't actually use panel for apps, now I gotta have apps panel with smart select in it (with less options to offer than before) kinda deal breaker tho
Where is Dolby atmos for gaming settings not found after update
this is very important information thanks!

You can acces smart select using the spen.
I just downloaded the new SW update and the phone keeps reading my incoming text messages aloud. How do i disable it ?
No one is talking about being able to copy text from pdf files in notes app which is disabled since circle to search so now each time google sees my screen when I want to even copy a small bit of text from pdf stupid
They will add it back.
When to S23 Series? 😭
Notification pop up style also not working ,if edge lighting plus is enabled for only lock screen in s24 ultra.
I need the gif back!
reminds me of when they removed dedicated finger print. Idk why they do this I use smart select all the time. Also, you can resize on the fly with the old smart select before you take the screen shot.
Bring da friggin GIF animator back!!!!

No more option to download more edge panels either?
My icons are now the size of planets.
6.1 has made my phone unstable. Crashes every day. Does 6.1.1 address this? I could sacrifice the edge panel for stability.
why Live Messages is not officially compatible with devices running One UI 6.1.
Free crop lasso crop is gone. I'm super mad as hell. If Samsung does not bring it back I'm selling all my Samsung products S24U, Buds 3 pro and Watch Ultra. Damn you Samsung. I do tonnes of editing with the lasso crop
Can you still create the GIF using the S-pen? The option is available clicking the S-pen button and then choose the smart select icon.
Good morning from Greece. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with OneUI 6.1. I have noticed that the Smart Select feature from OneUI 6.1.1 is available on my device. I am curious to know how this has occurred.
I S23 Ultra with 6.1 and it has everything that 6.1.1 has
How did you make the Navigation line below to Green color?
So is the live messages,are gone not cool very nice feature
tmobile updated but it only says 6.1 not 6.1.1
Hopefully one UI 7 either fixes this or there's like a good revamp because I think you can all agree oneui 5.1 was probably the best version not saying 6.1 is bad but there's some features that it did remove that took some used to getting to so hopefully 7 either bring some features back or gives like a nice revamp
Hope they include these features in oneui 7.0 vut they r also discontinueing samsung messages that tm roh has become puppet of google
Does the animation on the border and the ai eat up battery or prosessing power?
Battery drain is the biggest problem/issue on this update 😢 My phone doesn't last a full day anymore. Hope they'll fix this not the other small "problems"
Clear cache partition
Wil work 💯
pls emphasize also the removal of lasso smart select... I hope samsung would give it back to us... it's so useful to me... especially in my work..
At first I didn't like the removal, but after some time I prefer the new. I never used the oval or gif. Quicker and easier use for me
I didn't even know that feature was there,😁😁 it does not affect my use of the phone.
Wouahhh how do you get the "Live messages" panel ??? I didn't have anymore since I get my S24 .....
I feel like this new smart select never gets the areas i need to clip. The old smart select was just right. hopefully they improve it or just give us the option to use the old one. If it ain't broke, don't fix it
WTF? C'mon Sung what are you doing? I loved that feature, I used it all the time.
So, I wanted to ask if you know whether the S23 FE had some improvements to battery life management & optimisation after the One UI 6.1.1 update?
Yeah I noticed this... It's actually like a downgrade 🤦🏽
Is there anyway to report to Samung our Frustrations with "losing a feature"??? Gif making was the Best "Before"!! We want it "BACK!!"
Why is the bar on the left side ? Is that by choice ? If it's not why would they move it over there. Be to hard to one hand swipe that open .
If i use the ai rectangle , it does not give me draw to sketch button , but "add to note" one 😢
May i know your font style?
Can you still capture a GIF and oval screenshot with Good Lock 1 handed operation?
wtf i updated today to 6.1.1 and immediately noticed it. i make gifs using that all the time. is there any alternative even in goodlock?
Too smart !@ please bring back smart select
I use my tablet for lectures. The new AI has made it so hard for me to clip a certain lecture note / pic from my lecture notes and drag it to my samsung notes. That no longer works.
