It was just last week when Samsung started rolling Android 16 out to the Galaxy S22 series<\/a>, but apparently, it hasn\u2019t all been smooth sailing.<\/p>\n After kicking off last week with a One UI 8 upgrade throughout Europe, Twitter user @Koram_Akhilesh<\/a> spotted evidence that the OTA had been pulled from Samsung\u2019s server, reverting the latest official firmware back to the most recent One UI 7 built (via SammyGuru<\/a>). While this move isn\u2019t completely out of the ordinary, it\u2019s the first real bump in the road for what has otherwise been a pretty smooth launch for the company\u2019s Android 16 build.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear exactly why Samsung paused this rollout, though the Galaxy S22-specific subreddit does have a handful of posts calling out problems post-update. Still, there\u2019s not much in the way of obvious patterns \u2014 rapid battery drain<\/a> appears to be the most commonly cited issue<\/a> for those with upgraded devices, but even then, it doesn\u2019t appear to be a consistent experience. It appears the update had started rolling out in other regions outside Europe prior to this week\u2019s pause, including in India, but the US was seemingly not among them.<\/p>\n Samsung has yet to make a statement on what\u2019s happening with One UI 8 on the S22, including whether or not those devices already running the firmware will need to take action to avoid running into bugs or other issues. Android 16 is set to be the final big patch for the company\u2019s 2022 flagship series, which was guaranteed four major OS upgrades and five years of security patches at launch. <\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n More on Samsung:<\/p>\n
