Samsung Gallery ends direct OneDrive backups this September

Microsoft has confirmed that Samsung Gallery will stop syncing photos directly to OneDrive on September 30, 2026. If you want to keep backing up to OneDrive, you must update your camera-backup settings in the OneDrive app and ensure the correct account is used; otherwise, OneDrive-backed photos won’t appear in Samsung Gallery after the cutoff. Samsung plans to replace OneDrive with its own cloud solution, and after the date you’ll still be able to access your OneDrive-stored photos via the OneDrive website or the app.

Gemini's Five-Hour Cap Sparks Outcry Over Single Prompt

Google’s new compute-based Gemini limits use a credit-style system that reportedly drained a user’s entire five-hour allowance after a single failed video-generation prompt. Google acknowledged the issue and said it’s looking into the complaint, as users push back against tighter caps despite some Antigravity plans getting higher quotas. The change makes predicting usage harder and has spurred calls for more transparency or looser limits.

Galaxy S23 owners cry foul over missing AirDrop-style sharing in One UI 8.5

Galaxy S23 owners are upset that the One UI 8.5 update removes AirDrop-style file sharing despite hardware support; Samsung hasn’t explained the decision, though workarounds like Quick Share QR codes and NearDrop exist, while the update adds other UI improvements and Galaxy AI features; the controversy has sparked discussions of planned obsolescence as the S23 still has about a year of software updates left.

Samsung One UI 8.5: dark mode chaos prompts quick workarounds

Android Authority reports that Samsung’s One UI 8.5 update is triggering dark‑mode glitches in Google apps across Galaxy devices (including S25/S24), showing a mix of black, gray, and light-gray UI. The root cause appears to be a clash between Google’s Material You styling and Samsung’s updated color palette. Workarounds include using a forked Shizuku to revert colors or tweaking the Color Palette/Wallpaper settings, with a potential fix expected in a future update. Samsung has not issued an official statement yet; users can report the issue via the Members app.

Android 17 QPR1 Beta 3 enables partial screenshots by default on large-screen devices, allowing region, window, or full-screen captures via the new screen recording toolbar; on phones, forcing these features produces a broken, oversized UI, and partial screen recording remains unavailable by default—expect further refinements in future updates.

Google has migrated the Fitbit Community to Google Health Community, folding Fitbit into its broader health ecosystem.
