@RitP007 Here you go, sorry for being late: transfer.it/t/1q8AIz53FDYD

@GalaxyTechie Yes

One UI 8.5 in S26 Series has launched a cross-brand motion photo conversion feature. Here's the feature highlights and description: 1. 🔁 Seamless automatic switching No manual operation is required; once the feature is enabled, the system will automatically recognize and receive live photos from other Android phone brands. The file is automatically converted to a live photo format natively supported by Samsung. 2. 🎬 Native experience, smooth playback The converted photos can be previewed in the album to retain the dynamic effects, and then they can be edited and shared just like the original animated photos, providing a seamless experience. 3. 🤝 Breaking down brand barriers Solve the format compatibility issues when sharing animated photos across brands, making interaction between users from different brands easier. It's smoother, so you won't miss a single dynamic moment. Have you ever experienced this regret: receiving a live photo from a friend, but only seeing a still image on your phone? Those captured fleeting moments, like a strand of hair swaying in the breeze, seem to have lost their soul. To break down brand barriers and ensure every vivid memory is perfectly presented, we've launched a brand-new "Convert motion photos" feature. Now, live photos from other Android devices can be played in live format on your Samsung phone. How to enable the feature? 1. Open your phone's "Settings." 2. Scroll down to find and click "Advanced features." 3. Click to enter "Convert motion photos" and turn the switch on. 💡 Friendly Reminder: After enabling this feature, when you receive compatible live photos via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, file transfer, or Quick Share, the system will automatically process them. The conversion process is fast and will not affect the normal use of your phone. The "Convert Motion Photos" feature is supported from One UI 8.5, first launched on the S26, and will be supported in subsequent updates for other models. Bring all those precious moments to life on your Samsung phone!

@j_franky_7 Yes if it had Bixby support before.

@GalaxyTechie Will it work in my galaxy a25?

[APK] One UI 8.5 Bixby now works on devices running One UI 6 onwards. You can install either the Bixby Global or Bixby Live, both works without root. Make sure to enable 'Show Bixby on Apps screen' before updating. Also, update the Voice Wake-Up app for the setup if needed.

@Head66Metal Yes x.com/GalaxyTechie/s…

@GalaxyTechie Do you have phone, calls and contact?

[APK] One UI 8.5 Game Booster (with extra features) now works on One UI 7 and later. Users already running One UI 8.5 should also install this version, it enables the exclusive features like Voice Roulette, Anti-Interference, Notification Styles, 4D Vibration, Pop-up View, Voice Changer, Super Microphone, Game Care, Controller, Virtual Gamepad, Game Sound, AI Mute, AI Lab and more. It also adds pre-download game updates and sync startup animation with game loading screen in the settings. This post covers the guide of virtual gamepad with images. The first time you use the virtual gamepad feature, "Full-screen mode in split-screen view" will be automatically enabled. If you wish to disable "Full-screen mode" later, you can go to "Settings > Advanced features > Multi-window" to turn it off. If your game does not have a default configuration, the basic configuration will be displayed. The game screen is the mapped area, and the virtual button is the button area. Click the gear-shaped "Settings" button in the button area shown in the image to configure it according to your needs.

@kazikate1 Good one.

@GalaxyTechie change.org/RestoreOEMLock

@kazikate1 Great idea but there's already a petition running which started after One UI 8 release, they won't be backing down no matter what unfortunately. change.org/p/make-samsung…

@GalaxyTechie I will never update my device again after this. I wish I had known and not updated... Would you support me if I started a petition about this? I think if we all work together, maybe we can make them back down.

@kazikate1 Sadly nope, there should be no possibility in future unless a loophole is found. They are getting more strict in future.

@GalaxyTechie Hello. I'd like to ask you a question. My device is an S23 Ultra with One UI 8.5 installed. Unfortunately, the binary version has been upgraded, and I think it's now impossible to unlock the bootloader by changing the binary. Is there any other way to unlock the bootloader? ++

@Arko15424345 Here are most of them, it will be pretty hard to find all of them: x.com/GalaxyTechie/s…

@GalaxyTechie Can u please provide all apks of 8.5 at one place please so that we can download all at once ...thanks again for the help

Be ready for One UI 8.5 exclusive features... 👀

@Zahin15363750 @VerdeSelvans 8.5/10 Great wallpaper, add more cool widgets in empty spaces or replace some of the existing ones.

@VerdeSelvans Yo @GalaxyTechie rate

Samsung users, can you share your home screen setup? I need some inspiration 🙂

@xMaluko Yes, will post an update soon.

@GalaxyTechie Are they still doing anything with this?

Here's a FIRST LOOK at Samsung's 'Auto DeX', supporting 8500+ car models of 120+ brands. The great news is, even if your car doesn't support it or you don't have a car, you can use it with some tricks. Another great news is, you can use DeX even if your phone doesn't support it!

@RitP007 Are you rooted?

@GalaxyTechie Could you share the apk for this?

@TN0yZ6nLEidLaAG Great, have you managed the APK? I couldn't yet.
