Since an April update, the Galaxy XR \u2014 which runs on Google\u2019s XR platform \u2014 has been experiencing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-xr-memory-leak-3659819\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">critical memory leak<\/a>.

Users reported that the headset\u2019s memory usage would steadily increase over a 20- to 30-minute period until it reached a breaking point. Once total capacity was exceeded, the hardware became almost impossible to use, with frame rates \u201cdive bombing.\u201d At the height of the complaints, Google acknowledged the issue and made finding a fix an \u201cabsolute top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Google did not provide a timeline for when a fix would roll out. However, it looks like the team acted as quickly as it could, as a patch is now rolling out. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Galaxy_XR\/comments\/1t5fdaj\/update_patch_version_i610ueu2azd8_is_rolling_out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Grace from Google\u2019s community team<\/a> has announced via Reddit that version I610UEU2AZD8 is now available.<\/p>\n<p>While no changelog was shared, the post says that this patch introduces \u201ca series of system stability and performance optimizations based on the feedback we received regarding the latest software update.\u201d Grace from Google recommends going to <strong>Settings &gt; Software Update<\/strong> to download and install the update.<\/p>\n<p>Based on comments to the announcement, it appears the update has indeed fixed the issue for some. One user mentions that the tracking hitches have been resolved; however, there may be a new issue within the Virtual Desktop. Specifically, moving the cursor on\/off one of the virtual displays causes \u201ccorrupted\/garbled frames.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
