Samsung, TELUS, and AWS jointly offer improved connectivity for customers traveling abroad
To develop the architecture of roaming, and enable greater reliability, faster speeds, and improved connectivity for customers traveling abroad, three of the top brands including Samsung, TELUS, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have recently proclaimed their collaboration.
With this evolution and the alliance of Samsung and AWS, TELUS became the first telecommunications provider in North America to evolve the architecture of roaming and it can house its network within AWS Regions, using virtualized roaming gateways to offer enhanced connectivity.
It means that traffic no longer needs to go through Canada, but will be routed directly to the closest AWS Region that houses TELUS’ network, significantly enhancing the speed and responsiveness of mobile services.
To be mentioned, this process is also known as network cloudification and uses Cloud-native Core technology from Samsung on public cloud for mobile data, and ng-voice for voice calls, optimizing performance and ultimate quality.

So far, the roaming traffic including voice, data, and SMS was routed through the provider’s home country, resulting in slower speeds for customers, but now it will become faster, more efficient, and more reliable, resulting in an improved connectivity experience. Simultaneously, the virtual roaming gateway trials will begin in Q1 2024.

Samsung has acknowledged the clock overlap issue on One UI devices and confirmed to resolve it with an upcoming software update. The clock issue occurs primarily when Lockstar is used with an automatic restart routine.
Users have noted that sometimes upon turning on their phone, the lock screen clock appears to overlap and a manual restart is required to fix it temporarily.
In response to this concern, a Samsung community moderator apologized for any inconvenience caused and assured users that the company is actively working on a solution. He also confirmed that the issue arises specifically when using LockStar and Autostart Routine simultaneously.
The good news is that Samsung is planning to release a software update shortly to address this issue. The update aims to fix the clock overlap issue to enhance the user experience and ensure seamless functionality of the lock screen.
Samsung advises Galaxy users to keep their software up to date to take advantage of this upcoming improvement. Stay tuned with us for further details regarding the software and app update rollout
