S26 Issue Loading Apps

Hi there. Did you setup the new phone with smart switch? If so, there might have been a corrupt file or unsupported app in the old phone.

At this stage, I would personally factory reset the phone and try again (I know that's a pain but this is what I would do). Other than that, maybe someone else has other suggestions.

Does this typically apply at one place (like home)?. If so this may be poor reception. To check this load an app called Aus Phone Towers and learn its quirks (hidden left menu). Note that when Wi-fi calling is enabled (Google, for instance, Telstra wi-fi calling and enable it if not enabled - this only relates to phone calls and messages). Coloured dot on map when ticked opens up the details for your closest tower on whatever settings you have selected, e.g. 4G or 5G, etc. showing range to tower, frequencies. There is one setting in your phone to indicate preference for cell tower or wi-fi network for downloading. One might be a lot slower than the other.

5G covers a smaller radius than 4G and if iffy may be switching from one to the other causing delays, or the connection may be poor enough that it is repeatedly re-submitting data resulting in an apparent good connection but slowed by repetition. Ideally set to 4G in Network settings to get a slower but more reliable connection.

Quite a lot of problems with S26 Ultra, to find more solutions look in Google for "Advanced Search" and play with phrases like Phone, problems S26U or just Samsung. In advanced settings limit domain to samsung.com.au to limit to Australian hits on that site, or select country Australia which adds in more hits but still limited to Australia. Note very new purchases takes some days to settle down due to background updating of apps after phone was manufactured.

Same with my s25u apps take to long to load, or it freezes have way thru
