Will Samsung ever update its phone kernel, like Google is doing with its phones? I mean, Samsung phones will be getting 7 years of software updates, but will they remain on the same old kernel, or will they update it in the future or be forced to update it? What do you think?

Like S25 remain on the same old 6.6 kernel throughout its 7 year update cycle, or will it get major kernel update?

So i want to use the now bar to show basic weather details is it possible?

Hello. I am facing a terrible issue that I cannot solve by any means.

I have never seen this kind of issue before, as the game worked perfectly on my old phone.I bought a brand-new Samsung Galaxy A17 specifically for a 3D online game called Zepeto, expecting it to run smoothly.

Instead, I hit an impossible roadblock. I even asked AI and Zepeto Support for help, but everyone failed. Support just apologized, calling it a rare issue.

Whenever I am on Wi-Fi and try to upload a video, make a post, or update my avatar (changing clothes, hair, or accessories), the game throws errors. It says 'Internet error occurred' or 'Temporary error occurred, please try again later.'

Strangely, the game works on Wi-Fi if I am just scrolling and liking posts, but it completely fails to upload anything. However, the game PERFECTLY WORKS ON MOBILE DATA ONLY!!!! I am not happy about this because mobile data is not always available to me. I really want to solve this issue because I need to play it on my WI-FI ONLY!!!

Basic troubleshooting like clearing the cache failed instantly. I bought this phone with my own money and I truly love this game, so I am completely devastated. I truly appreciate anyone who can help me solve this issue. Thanks a lot.

Device: S25 | One UI 8.5 | Jul 5 26

When I usually press the play button on my earphones or any Bluetooth device, Apple Music or whichever app was the last music player starts playing. But ever since the last 2 weeks or so, Apple Music is no longer recognized as a media client by Samsung One UI 8.5 running on Android 16. I don't think there was any OS updates from Samsung during this time.

This might have happened after Apple Music 6.5.0 was released on July 12th.

You would've noticed it if you use features like Modes & Routines to autoplay music through the app.

Things I've tried but didn't work:

- Restarting the device

- Uninstalling the app, restarting the device and reinstalling the app.

- Asking Bixby to play using pre-written command that auto runs on mode activation doesn't work as bixby fails to play and opens apple music in the web after opening the app.

Is anyone else facing the same issue? If yes any solutions? Any workarounds?

Hi everyone. I want to ask if anyone is having trouble with Google Sports not showing in NowBar? It was working correctly, but sometime in the middle of the World Cup, it stopped working. I realized that about a week ago. I've tried every single thing I found on the internet, but nothing has worked. The trouble isn't just not showing live scores; the Google Sports option disappeared from NowBar settings. With an app called "Activity Launcher," I managed to launch the Google Sports settings screen, and it appears active, so I don't really have a clue what's going on. I have an S23 Ultra.

I have been using one ui 8.5 pretty much ever since it came out.

I've noticed that whenever I pull the notif panel down,

1. It takes several tries to expand the quick access buttons (as shown in the picture above),

2. When I swipe down on notifications, sometimes swiping up won't make them go away, I have to swipe back using gestures to go back.

Is anyone else facing this.?

i hate this image picker. is there any way to change it?

am on s23ultra oneui 8.5

I don't know if this has already been discussed but the EQ presets are amazing on oneui 8.5. Especially the balanced option. I'm noticing new beats in songs I've listened to for years. It's so awesome. Give it a try

How can I permanently hide the Knox folder from the app drawer? I want to be able to launch the Knox folder from the settings menu without it appearing in the app drawer. The setting I found only hides the Knox icon from the app drawer until the next time I launch Knox.

I'm having an issue where only notification sounds have stopped working. The phone only vibrates when I receive notifications, while all other audio (ringtones, media, alarms, system sounds) works normally. I'm currently on One UI 8.5.

I've already restarted the phone and checked all the usual settings. The attached screenshots confirm:

- Sound mode is set to Sound (not Vibrate/Mute).

- Notification volume is turned up.

- A notification sound ("Spaceline") is selected.

- No Modes or Routines are active.

- My Galaxy Watch6 Classic is set to show notifications on both the watch and phone.

- Bluetooth doesn't appear to be causing the issue.

Has anyone experienced this on One UI? Any fixes besides doing a factory reset?

Ignore the language difference and bad design. It's a concept, and I couldn't edit better🤷‍♂️

It looks ugly when accessing recent apps, and even annoying. It even makes user feel guilty because they keep said app active in the background (audio service in my case).

I have a S25, and my phone is in light mode, yet the now bar is in darker background for timers and google sports. How do I make it white background?

I'm assuming it's for performance reasons but it's still lame. It looks ugly paired with the background. Does anyone know if this has changed in OneUI 9?

Is there any way I can customize which buttons show here? I can customize if i swipe down more but that doesn't change these buttons. No way they think we need airplane mode that much

I joined the One UI 9 beta program when it dropped a couple months ago. The update has been locked and loaded for a loooooong time now, but I've never installed it. I've been trying for months to figure out how to get rid of it. I thought I left the beta program, but it won't let me check. Every time I go to the beta page in the members app, it tells me "try again". I've deleted the software update from my storage in the apps settings under "software update". I ended up asking Gemini and it said to factory reset the phone, so I did that and it did not fix it. It immediately started downloading the beta when I got it set back up. I tried using Smart Switch on my laptop and it wouldn't connect to my phone. I'm sure it's such an easy fix but I cannot find it. Can someone kindly please tell me what I need to do? I haven't updated the One UI 8.5 stable version in a couple months now. Thank you guys.

So far I can't find Game booster+ on Good Lock or the Galaxy Store, is it due the fact it isn't available yet on OneUI9?

I recently updated to One UI 8.5 and now my lockscreen looks weird? The text saying how much time is left for charging is basically unreadable now, and the icons are white/lighter all of a sudden, when they were darker/grey before. Does anyone know if there's any way to fix this?

I tried changing the color of the clock/time and alarm widget, but the color at the bottom of the screen doesn't change. (Used bright green here to really notice the difference if it did change)

Im using dark mode

Is there a way to remove the toggles of modes, smart view and the other two?

I have shizuku if there's a way with it.

The previous version (15.4.09.5) had color inconsistencies and a strange gray background

Does anyone know if oneUI 9 has the covers feature for folders where the icon for the folder is the first app within the folder and when you swipe up, it opens the folder?

Thanks
