Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra One UI 5.1 Bug – Camera Shutter Lag
What the problem boils down to is the processing of these photos. Samsung’s camera software seems to struggle tremendously. The biggest problem throughout comes from motion blur, which is very common in shots of people and animals. Movement during the time the camera captures the shot leads to faces, hands, and more being blurred – it’s known as shutter lag. This doesn’t always ruin the shot – sometimes it can actually look nice – but in most cases, it’s just not a desirable look. – 9To5Google.
S22 & S8 Tab Microphone Issues after OneUI 5.1 Update
I don’t think I’ve seen this anywhere after searching around a bunch, but I am having issues with both mics in my Galaxy S22 after the OneUI 5.1 update. Nothing is being picked up by either mic, even when it’s saying that I’m currently using it in the status bar. This is also an issue with my S8 Ultra Tablet as of a couple days. This is making it makes it impossible to answer calls from either device as I can never be heard at all when speaking no matter it it’s an SIM call or through apps like MS Teams.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra One UI 5.1 Android Auto Bug
I have the same issue. It keeps telling me that I have to enable Google Maps permissions and that I should “check my notifications” or something like they’re sending me something that I should be clicking on to enable the permissions – except they don’t send me anything. There is no notification. Nothing to click on. When I go into Android Auto or in Google Maps, there is no option to give it additional permissions, or whatever it is that it’s looking for. At the moment, Android Auto is a brick on this phone and it does not function. – Google Support Page
