Is anyone else dealing with MAJOR battery drain after the beta install? My watch used to make it about 2 days on a charge, now it barely makes it 24 hours. I did confirm that "always on display" is off, wifi is off, location is on, but always has been. Screen brightness is at 2. But yet still by theView Post

When using right wrist left buttons orientation while charging the display is upside down. Beta 3 didn't fix it. Come on Samsung, do you have a problem with lefties?View Post

I'm on the beta and have noticed that when I take a call on my watch via Bluetooth and then end the call, minutes afterwards my watch display is still stuck on the phone screen (making it seem like I'm on a call). But the timer is frozen and I'm not actually on a call. I have to press one of the sidView Post

Just wondering if anyone else with a watch 8 on beta 2 having the same issue. I'm using the new radical dashboard watch face that UI 9 offers.View Post

Is anyone aware of a space where Samsung explains that signing up for, and downloading this beta immediately makes your wearable device fail strong integrity? Does it warn us that Google Wallet no longer works? That it's basically forcing the device to appear as compromised? This is insane to me. InView Post

After downloading the beta on my Watch 8, one thing I've had to immediately right off is sleep readings. In 8/8.5 sleep stats had always been pretty consistent, but after getting into Beta 9, for all the nice improvements and features, sleep readings have either devolved to erratic V/ECG shaped osciView Post

I'm using One UI Beta at both ends, my Z Fold 6 and my Watch 8 and all of a sudden, even with my permissions enabled for the Samsung Weather App, the data is just not transmitted from phone to watch.View Post

Galaxy Watch Ultra2 — Step counter randomly dies after a watch restart/reboot, only fixed by full factory reset (S25 Ultra, OneUI 8.5/OneUI 9.0 Beta) Love the watch otherwise, but this is becoming a dealbreaker. **Issue:** Whenever a watch reboot or a restart occurs, step counter just stops working View Post

Blood pressure trend is not recording since installing One UI 9 beta on Galaxy Watch7. It reports, :Unknown. Couldn't determine your blood pressure trend." Also, HRV dropped by about 50% after installing the beta. I have submitted feedback and it is under review.View Post

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed that their heart rate variable has changed since switching to the 9 beta. Mine always used to read around 140 or 150 and now it's reading half that. Not sure if something has changed with my health or if it's the new update. 🤔View Post

Im in. I made it previous post in the regular members app about my device not being eligible when in fact it is eligible so I did a few workarounds that I won't mention here and I am happily now on 9.0 beta 1. Just fyi, i have no issues. Working great. 💪🏼View Post

Is anyone else having an issue using the NFC to tap to pay? I've used it quite a bit before the UI 9 beta but it hasn't worked since. Any ideas of how to restore it? I thought about removing and replacing my card but would rather avoid that rigamarole.View Post
