The One UI 9.0 beta program for the Galaxy S26 series has only just kicked off, and Samsung is already pushing a follow-up fix. A hotfix update is now rolling out to beta participants in the US, addressing a connectivity issue that’s been affecting some users.
For those unfamiliar with the term, a hotfix is a small, targeted patch released shortly after a major update to resolve a critical problem. In this case, Samsung’s changelog is straightforward: the update fixes “the issue where mobile data cannot be connected in some carriers.” That’s the kind of bug that can make a phone practically unusable, so it makes sense Samsung moved quickly on it.
The update carries firmware version S94xU1UEU2ZZEG and weighs in at 523.48MB, as per the update screenshot shared by Tarun Vats. Based on the US-first rollout and the carrier-specific nature of the fix, it’s likely this one stays regional rather than going global. If you’re on the Galaxy S26 series and enrolled in the beta, you can grab it manually by heading to Settings > Software update > Download and install.
This hotfix lands just days after Samsung launched the One UI 9.0 beta program alongside its official announcement of the new Android 17-based software for Galaxy phones and tablets. Early beta builds often ship with issues that only surface in real-world conditions across different networks and carrier configurations, so a quick patch like this isn’t unexpected. What matters is that Samsung responded fast.
If you’re interested in what One UI 9.0 actually brings to the table but aren’t ready to jump into the beta yourself, Samsung has put out a detailed tour of the software covering all the changes and new features worth knowing about.
