I have notice on my Samsung S25 that after a game is updated, weird things start to happen. After a few months of checking this behaviour I found the following bug.
If the game is updated, flower planting drops while having a good gps and 5G signal, there are gaps in planting.
The same thing happens with walking, walking isn’t registered. I live in a big city with a very good internet and GPS coverage.
Also the most enoying problem what I also noticed on my and other types of phones (iPhones) is that after an update the new decor pikmins have the same color, it doesn’t matter what time of date or location, I keep getting the same color. My wife has an iPhone, she will get 8 times the same color, weeks long.
I can fix it on a Samsung by deleting my cache but on an iPhone this isn’t that easy.
It is a bug that has been there for at least 4 or 5 months now, and I know for every months challenge you might not complete the set but if she hits stage 10 and still is getting 8 blue ones then there might be something wrong.
