Overall fine, very stable. One problem is that this morning at 6am my phone lit up and the Now Brief started loudly talking about my day. I can find no setting to turn this feature off or even at least set is wake up time. Very unpleasant esp. If you don't sleep alone.

I have yet to be able to get into any beta program. Id love to give a productive answer but I guess samsung refuses to let me be in any beta

You need to post this in the Beta boards, not here.

I was in the same boat for awhile I was only able to get into 3 beta program test. Make sure you sign up for the beta program and keep checking to see when beta downloads may be available.

I currently have a ticket with Samsung cause I've been signed up for beta program and check the beta section once a week at least. What is the point in offering it to me if I never get to use it

I'm done with Samsung I'm going to switch to Apple and I'm buying Apple fold when it comes out you obviously don't care enough about your customers and or the people who tried to support you over the last 30 years so I'm done with you

Im not apart of the Samsung company, but what exactly is your problem with Samsung that is making you want to switch.

The beta isn't available for me 😂

That's not Samsung's fault. It's likely your carrier, other than T-Mobile, many carriers refuse to have their customers participate in beta tests.

Never said it was Samsungs fault 😅

Sorry, but I was intending to reply to ttarallo. He's under the impression that only Samsung decides who gets offered their smartphone beta tests.
