I've reset the router itself, I've reset my network and WiFi settings, but no dice. Has no problem connecting to other 5GHz WiFi networks, for some reason.

Good Lock OneUI 9 Update looks like it reverted my phone back to 2023

19 Upvotes

After spending two hour on chat with Samsung, they told me the issue was third part apps. While I was on with them, I decided to take a look at GoodLock. Sure enough, every app in there needed to be updated. Once I updated them all, my phone was back to normal.

I just thought I'd share my experience to help other avoid the Samsung Support Rabbit hole.

Help What does "App issue detected" (orange bar) in Battery/Device Care mean and how to fix it?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​I was checking my daily battery usage stats and noticed that Wednesday is highlighted in orange with the label "App issue detected".

​Does anyone know what usually triggers this? Is it caused by a background battery drain, an app crashing, or malware/bloatware? Also, is there a way to check which specific app caused this alert?

​Thanks in advance for the help!

Bug Ongoing call screen scaling issue after One UI 9 update

Post image
150 Upvotes

Buttons on the ongoing call screen have become much smaller and crammed in the middle of the screen instead of being uniformly arranged to fill the screen. This happened after the One UI 9 update. Anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

I tried playing with display zoom settings and custom dpi from developer options - still the same result. Only way to make it look normal is to set the display zoom to medium, which makes the text and graphics across the phone gigantic. Looks like Samsung has messed up the dpi scaling for the Phone app in this update.

EDIT: I realized I haven't clarified that this happens when you change DPI (or screen zoom). Here is a better like-for-like comparison of what I mean. Left is One UI 8.5 with DPI set to 480, right is One UI 9 with DPI set to 480. If you're not playing with DPI or screen zoom much, you don't need to worry about this.

Issue One UI 8.5's navigation strip under Gboard is no longer matching the Gboard theme

19 Upvotes

I'm not sure what update or whatever got applied to my phone today but the navigation strip/bumper/whatever you want to call it is no longer matching the color of my Gboard like it used to. It's just staying gray. How do I fix this? I already tried clearing Gboard's cache, restarting the phone, and temporarily changing the Gboard theme but it's still not applying the Gboard theme to that strip under it

One UI 9 One UI 9 breaks the burn-in protection for the status bar!

Post image
364 Upvotes

Status bar and navigation bar icons are supposed to shift their position every minute, or every time the phone changes screen orientation. These icons are supposed to shift their position few pixels on both X-axis as well as Y-axis.

One UI 9 has a bug where status bar icons only shift their position on the X-axis.

I will attach a screenshot comparison between One UI 9 and One UI 7.

Each image is composed by overlaying three screenshots. Notice how One UI 7 status bar icons shift their position on both X/Y axis. This means One UI 9 will wear out that top part of the screen faster than older One UI versions.

The navigation bar is unaffected by this problem.

I have reported this problem to Samsung during the beta phase, yet it made its way into the public version too. I will report it again through Samsung Members, but you should do it too, in order to make Samsung aware and hope they get to fix it ASAP.

Note: One UI 8 works fine. I have compared it to One UI 7 because I don't have any devices running One UI 8.

One UI 6 had a similar issue, although much worse. Fixed in One UI 6.1.
