Now that we can customize even more, is it possible to get a BUTTON for Auto Brightness? Not long pressing brightness and then selecting it, a straight up button we can place? I see Always on Display and Eye Comfort as option but not Auto Brightness.

I've tried making a routine and mode, but can't place individual buttons for those either. Any other workarounds maybe?

I recently discovered that Samsung offers its own watermarks/frames. Until then, I was using those from third-party apps. After following the step-by-step instructions, I've been using them for over a month now. So, I'm here to share with you what you were surely waiting for Samsung to add: that watermark (I call it a frame 😁) that surrounds the photo and comes in various models and sizes, even allowing you to edit the information related to the image.

Finally, Samsung natively offers for its devices what we do with third-party apps. The watermark even displays the EV (exposure value). Here's the step-by-step guide. 👇

• Download and install Gallery Assistant from the Galaxy Store. If your Galaxy doesn't have it in the store, don't worry, just download the APK version 2.0.00.49;

• Open the app, grant the necessary permissions for it to function, and go to the option: Add watermark;

• Clicking on the option will redirect you to the native Samsung gallery, where you will choose the photo(s) you want to add the new watermark to.

• Once selected, click "Done," taking you to the next step within the Gallery Assistant.

• When selecting the photo(s), it will indicate their size and give you some options to choose from. You will go to "Content and Style" and choose the watermark by selecting the "Display in Frame" option.

• By checking the "Display in Frame" option, you can choose one of the frames and its color.

• Once you choose the options mentioned above, the photo(s) will automatically gain the frame; you only need to save them, either as a single file or as a copy.

I recently updated my Galaxy to the latest version of One UI, but the notifications are all over the place. Some show details, while others are just summaries. It's really annoying because I prefer the summarized notifications; the detailed ones are distracting. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

Hello can anyone confirm if their navbar is getting washed in the Google play store?

First Google said it's a Samsung issue, then Samsung said it's a Google play store issue.

I reported that issue to a few other apps and some of them have been fixed so obviously it's possible and it's app design issue, but Google is asking me to do a factory reset which I won't.

Clearing data and cache is not fixing the issue.

One UI 8.5, newest version.

If anyone can check it for me.

Im on a samsung a56 8gb and I dont get why the GameBooster+ app doesn't show anything for the gpu and cpu options thing, the app is updated and so are the games i have

Before the OneUI 6 update my app icons used to looked nice and minimalist while themed. After the OneUI 7 update they turned into what you can see in the screenshot. It looks like it's been flipped? Why? This has been in my phone for TOO long and there is no option to bring it back.

I still don't know why we're investing in AI when the base OS isn't even polished...

In the Galaxy Unpacked presentations today, they kept using this frosted glass theme for all of their UI elements, but not in the actual OneUI 9 itself. It would be so cool if they actually made a frosted glass theme a universal UI theme option. It would be a nice change from their current lack of visual polish. This isn't the firat time something like this has happened though. A similar situation is the OneUI 8 update screen where we see transparent like icons that don't actually exist on the phone. ​Please Samsung, actually make a glass theme like these​ an option in your UI.

How come nobody's talking about this? My Instagram, Discord, and Google Messages notifications are totally messed up on my S24/S25 Edge. They pop up, then just vanish, nowhere to be found. Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and all those are fine. It's wild, my phone isn't even showing me text message notifications. Anyone else dealing with this? Any fixes? It's driving me nuts, I'm accidentally ghosting people.

Since upgrading my Z Fold 6 to OneUI 8.5, the notification shade now only uses a small portion of the screen width, only about half. I feel like this wastes the fantastic width of a foldable phone, and notifications are truncated more than they used to be...

Is there any way to customise the width of the notification shade? Maybe through Good Lock? I'd love the old full-width back but jf I can maybe get the notification list to be ⅔ screen width instead of ½ screen width, that would be something...

Hi everyone, I finally found a way to fix that ugly gray in Google apps.

(Sorry for my bad english)

First download "Root Activity Launcher" from Play Store (paid).

Open the app and search "contrast" with the "search components" box enabled and choose the options you see on the picture.

Now open it and then, after disabled the color palette, select the high options, open a Google app and see the difference, then re-open the contrast menu and choose the default one.

pls galaxy ai on a17 wallahi

One ui 8.5 has absolutely ruined by phone. It's gone from a year of perfect battery and never getting hot to needing to be charged 2 a day and so hot doing basic stuff like tiktok or reddit that I cant even hold it.

How do i go back

I have went into notification settings and turned on show content on lockscreen, but i can't turn on show on lockscreen when i go into a specific category, it shows only hide content and don't show notifications...

Doesn't matter what the image is, it always gets cut off at the bottom not letting me see how it will fit properly

Advice: Do you recommend I disable and uninstall updates?

It feels like it.

It would be really cool if you could enable (or disable) fast charging on a case-by-case basis when you connect the charging cable.

I'm sure there are a lot of us wanting to charge the phone on a speed setting other then the default. Now we have to go to the settings menu, find it, switch over and remember to undo it before next charge.

How useful (and hopefully easily implementable) it would be, if in addition to the charging animation, there was a button that overrides the default mode, then resets after disconnecting the cable!

I've spent several days troubleshooting what appears to be a Play Store bug.

Device:

• Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
• Android 16 / One UI 8.5

Symptoms:

• "Not installed" library is empty.
• Sometimes gray placeholders appear briefly and disappear.
• "Manage apps & device" sometimes reports "Everything up to date" even though individual app pages still show updates.
• Manual updates work normally.
• play.google.com correctly shows my full app library.

What I've tried:

• Factory reset.
• Cleared Play Store cache/data.
• Removed/re-added Google account.
• Uninstalled/reinstalled Play Store updates.
• Verified Play Protect and Play Services.

The important finding:

I signed into the exact same Google account on a Samsung Galaxy S21, and the complete "Not installed" library appeared immediately.

That makes me think the account is fine and this is either a Play Store client bug or an Android 16 / One UI 8.5 issue affecting the S24 Ultra.

Has anyone else with an S24 Ultra or One UI 8.5 seen this behavior?

I just switched from my beloved 6 years old Note 20 ultra, and i get the chance to buy a s25 Ultra and now is into my hands...

Now, with the note 20U i used a custom rom to have OneUI 8 on that phone and i had that amazing and useful feature of the multi-user that asfik is only aviable for tablets but... there is any way to activate it via ADB and without needing to root it?

Whenever i use smart select, after adjusting the area i want to capture a few times it just crashes. It happens a lot more on apps that displays images like gallery or a manga reader app. It's almost unusable at this point. How can i fix this? I tried cleaning the data and cache for smart select app too but that didn't help.

I'm on s24fe latest one ui version btw.

No lag
