One UI 7.0: What's happening to the Galaxy A34? Samsung stops the upgrade

June 20, 2025

Samsung has temporarily suspended the availability of the One UI 7.0 update for the Galaxy A34 due to serious issues identified in the latest software version (DYE7).

This decision affects users in Europe, South Korea and other markets.

Samsung has not officially released the reasons for the suspension, but reports from users and technical websites point to the following problems:

Problems with the screen: Some users have reported that the device screen flashes or closes arbitrarily after the update.
Volume drop Volume drop: The volume for calls, notifications and multimedia has been significantly reduced.
Slow network response: There was a delay in downloading and opening applications, which affects the user experience.
Problems with the camera: The camera application is experiencing delays or failure to start.
Increase in battery consumption: Battery life was dramatically reduced, with up to 10% discharge in 20 minutes.

A serious issue concerns Secure Folder, where hidden photos may appear in Stories notifications, violating the user's privacy.

What to do if you already have the update

Check if the update is available: Go to Settings > Software Update to see if there is a new version.
Turn off automatic stories: Open the Gallery app in Secure Folder, go to Settings and turn off the "Auto create stories" option.
Reset to factory settings: If you are experiencing serious problems, consider resetting the device to factory settings.
Report the problem: Contact Samsung support via the Samsung Members app or the support website.

Samsung usually resumes updates after a few days or weeks after fixing the problems. However, it hasn't been officially announced when One UI 7 will start rolling out again for the Galaxy A34.
