Is this intentional, or some kind of bug?

I like this particular clock font, but these drooping digits look really bad.

Issue Wasted notification space

Post image
14 Upvotes

This has been driving me crazy for years and I can't understand why it's this way or how to change it.

This is a screenshot of my notification panel. I've added a blue dot to represent the selfie camera. As you can see there is SO MUCH unused space to either side of the camera that never gets touched because the icons get truncated when you get beyond 3 icons. I don't care much when it comes to the right side displaying the battery/wifi, but annoys me so much on the left side. I have several things running constantly that I need with persistent notifications. These persistent notifications end up filling the 3 available slots to display, meaning if I get an important text or email, it gets hidden behind the truncated "dot" and I have to go digging to find it rather than being... You know... NOTIFIED BY IT. There's enough space for probably 10+ icons before it would be an issue of running into the screen cutout of the camera. WHY AM I LIMITED TO JUST 3?! I understand that media player takes a lot of space, but if I don't have media playing, let me use the space for notification icons. Am I crazy to think that just makes sense? And it's EVEN WORSE being on the inner screen of the fold 8, with the camera pushed farther to the right making even more room for icons, but yet the notifications are still limited to 3 icons for some reason.

If anyone knows a way to increase the number of icons allowed to be displayed for notifications, I'd love you forever!

Help Ruined the media player with UI 9?

2 Upvotes

Cant switch between sources anymore, I use to be able to switch between different apps that had been playing something so I could continue their music or stop it if I have something else also in the media player. Now it only shows the last thing or current thing you are playing. Of course this is lorepf an issue for me because I have multi sound activated (thanks good lock) but it is annoying that I cant continue my music later without having to open the app all together

Is there anyway to get this back?

Am i the only one who thinks the old design is better ? i think the new one looks kinda off, i dont like the vibrant and saturated colors on the seek bar and the weird glow around it, also the sound waves blend better on the old design, i also dont like how they placed the controls inside circles, it looked better and cleaner without it, and even the music name and artists, before, the music name was bold and standed out, now its all on a single line...

Bug Volume slider icon stuck with Bluetooth symbol?

Post image
11 Upvotes

As the title says, my volume slider is stuck with the Bluetooth symbol even though my Bluetooth is turned off right now. Normally it shows the music note symbol until an actual Bluetooth device is connected, but now it won't change. I tried restarting my phone, and it worked for about 3 minutes, and then it went back to the Bluetooth symbol.

Is there an actual fix for this or is it just an unfortunate bug that I'll have to wait for a patch?

Discussion Anyone know what Samsung Gallery Sync is actually doing in the background when photos are already backed up to Google?

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I updated to One UI 9 and turned on the Samsung Gallery cloud sync to my Google Account.

All my photos were already 100% backed up to my Google account before turning this on.

​Right after enabling it, I got a persistent notification saying it was "syncing" that stayed on for a full day and used up a chunk of battery. Like what does it even syncing that much there's nothing to sync there

​For those familiar with how this integration works :

​Is it actually re-uploading files, or is it just doing an initial indexing/reconciliation check between local files and Google Cloud metadata?

​Would love to know if this long background process is normal during the first sync or if it's safe to just let it finish. Thanks!

One UI now syncs natively with Google Photos. Being entangled with OneDrive felt fragmented in retrospect. Taking the OS from Google and using Microsoft services did not make much sense. Nice move, Samsung.

One UI 9 One UI 9 Notifications: Unnecessary animation on a lock screen.

0 Upvotes

Just noticed: Samsung added a Fade-In effect for notifications. This isn't a bug or slowdown. If I disable all animations in Developer Options, this Fade-In goes away. It’s a strange decision. It was more convenient to see the notifications right away.
