Samsung sued over Galaxy S23 Ultra

A US-based company called Ioengine is suing Samsung in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that the Korean company is using five of its connectivity-related patents without authorization or compensation. These patents were allegedly used by Samsung in the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Buds2 Pro, and Samsung’s Portable SSD T7. These devices are being used as examples, by the way – they do not represent the full scope of the complaint.

There’s also a specific patent, for which Ioengine is seeking a permanent injunction against the portable SSD drives and Galaxy phones. If granted, such an injunction would compel Samsung to stop the conduct found to infringe the patent in the US. Ioengine is also asking for royalties as an alternative if the court does not grant the injunction.

Z Fold 8 Ultra seems to have it worse than others. YouTube keep freezing on your Galaxy phone? It’s not just you.

Navigating away from YouTube and back while a video is playing can cause the video to freeze. Most reports come from Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra users.

Even the most expensive devices are subject to bugs. Case in point: several users of the $2,100 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra have reported that the YouTube app isn’t working correctly on their phones.

A post on the Korean-language Samsung community forum has been racking up comments from users of the Z Fold 8 Ultra and other Galaxy phones for weeks now, with many echoing the initial post’s point that YouTube streams have been freezing up. Based on what we can gather from the machine-translated post and comments, on some Galaxy devices, navigating away from the YouTube app while watching a video then returning to YouTube can result in the video freezing while audio continues to play.

If granted, such an injunction may lead to a sales ban, but it also could be a loss of features, it’s unclear right now.
