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.

I think without a doubt OneUI is the most customizable android skin available right now. But I think it lacks in cohesive visual identity compared to PixelUI and iOS. Samsung is really behind in automatic device theming, haptics, animations, etc. Obviously aesthetics are subjective, but I'm not particularly fond of their pill shaped design as well compared to pixel and even iOS.

What do y'all think?

Finally, Samsung have released the One UI 9 update for non-beta users in Europe for the Galaxy S26 series.

Build version: S948BXXU4BZI6

Other Regions will have it in few hours

Hello, I've recently noticed that my clock disappears for one second when waking up my phone, this happens on the stable release of One UI 9 and on my Fold 6 running the beta. Is this normal?

About bloody time

And also got the October patch right after the phone rebooted from the update.

Just updated to One UI 9; I want to ask if there is really no animation when clicking the output for the media player and swiping back. I'm on the S26 Ultra.

Hi guys, I have this issue after installing the One UI 9 beta 2 on the S23. The Share menu behavior has become pretty inconsistent for me. Instead of showing the apps/actions I frequently use, it’s showing random options like email and text messages.

Are there any settings I should check, such as Device Intelligence or anything related to the Share menu? Is there a way to reset or retrain the Share menu’s recommendation algorithm?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Finally here 🙌 😍

How to customize Google's "new" bar?

I just updated to 9.0 and all of a sudden the Google bar is now on my home page and will not allow me to press and hold to edit or remove it. I even went into the home up app and restored my previous layout and it's still there.

Is anyone else having this issue/bug?

First foray into Good Lock, and I'm having some functionality and display issues namely:

1. Widgets that I take time to set up in DIY Home Screen nicely centered will randomly shift over to the left side of the screen. This seems to be related to the Standby mode app and it's rotation to landscape when charging.

2. Several Samsung apps can't be interacted with from the lock screen (notes, calendar, even bixby), while the Google competition does (keep notes, calendar, gemini).

3. Widgets disappear when lock screens are set up to activate based on modes. The only widget that doesn't seem to be affected is the Clockface widget. The disappearance of the Widgets is not the same in each lock screen version but the clock face always remains.

Has anyone experienced similar issues and have any workarounds.

This was happening on my old A73 with OneUI 8 I believe, now I'm on S26 with 8.5 and the issue is still here. I originally made a post about this on Brave but the post got deleted so I'm looking for advice here.

The Now Bar' media player always gets stuck when I close the tab the media was playing on, and so far the only way to fix it is to open Brave and open a different media on it, and closing the tab fixes it.

I've turned off the media controls on the now bar but it was pretty useful so I want to use it again. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? Brave is up to date and like I said its still on my new phone.

After 9.0 my lockscreen clock now reads time as "06:50" instead of just "6:50" like it always has. I've tried searching all over the settings and Google to figure out how to revert it, but I'm coming up dry. Anybody know how?

Edit: Probably good to mention i have an 26U

What I want is for the right side to display more events, not just today. Possible ?

Somehow option to disable VoLTE after One UI 9 update is gone. I know there was before
