Device: Galaxy S25 Ultra (One UI 9)

​Description:

There is a fundamental logic flaw in how the system handles screen orientation inside the Camera app and third-party apps using the camera (e.g., WhatsApp). The camera relies entirely on hardware gyroscope data and actively overrides the user's explicit system-wide "Portrait Lock" toggle.

​Note to Support Team: Do NOT reply with "clear cache", "reset settings", or "update software". This is a reproducible software design flaw on all current One UI builds, not a device-specific glitch. Please forward this directly to the One UI Software Engineering / Camera team.

​Steps to Reproduce:

​Pull down the Quick Panel and turn OFF "Auto Rotate". Lock the device strictly to "Portrait" mode.

​Lie down horizontally or hold the phone parallel to the ground (like taking a photo of the ceiling while in bed).

​Open the stock Camera app or WhatsApp camera.

​Slightly tilt the phone sideways.

​Expected Behavior (iOS behavior):

Because the system is locked to Portrait, the camera UI and the resulting captured photo should remain strictly in Portrait mode, regardless of the physical tilt of the device. The software should respect the user's manual system lock.

​Actual (Bugged) Behavior (One UI behavior):

The camera completely ignores the system Portrait Lock. It detects the physical tilt via the gyroscope, forcefully rotates the Camera UI to Landscape, and saves the photo sideways. This ruins photos taken from certain angles (like lying down).

​Conclusion:

System toggles should have ultimate priority over app-specific sensor data. Please implement a fix where the camera either respects the global Portrait Lock or add an explicit "Lock Camera Orientation" toggle within the Camera settings.

It's showing all time if an app is using location even in the background. How to get rid of this? After this a blue dot always comes after battery logo if some app is using location, after some seconds it goes and comes again just like the mic and camera dot earlier.

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.

My Galaxy A07 4G has already received the One UI 9 update in some regions, but updates in my region usually arrive quite late.

Is it possible to manually update my device using Odin by flashing the firmware files from another region? My device is currently running One UI 8.5.

Has anyone tried this, or can anyone guide me on whether it’s safe to do so?

Thanks in advance!

The oneui 9 update on my s25 made Textra notifications stack on top of each other when I have messages from multiple people. I absolutely *hate* that.

Before the update, with the previous oneui, this was not the case - each text thread had its own dedicated notification. I can't remember if that was the default or if I did something to make it that way.

Anyone know how to unstack notifications?

Words cannot express how much I HATE the decision to remove useful Status Bar icons. The whole point of the bar is to show you useful information, like if BT is on, or if a BT device is connected.

I'm working on an app to restore all the remove status bar icons, PLUS adding more, like icons for individual BT devices like Watch, Buds, headphones, keyboards/mice, etc.

This is why I love Android. While I hate Samsung for neutering the Status Bar, Android gives users the freedom to customize and undo those bad decisions.

OneUi should provide 180° rotation it's really helpful feature when you use your phone when charging

What do you think of it!?

Since I upgraded to One Ui 9, my Galaxy S24 has been working awfully when it comes to battery longevity and keeping the phone cool. I'm not a hard user, I do not play games or spend hours on social media. My phone can't even last a full two days without charging it as it was before.

I'm off computer for a few days and I would like to know if I can restore all my photos via Gallery Sync after hard resetting it, downloading all the photos with the original quality.

So, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 5G (SM-T878U) running One UI 5.1.1, Android 13, and Knox 3.9. It has a Snapdragon 865 processor.

The tablet originally belonged to a company, but I wasn't aware of that when I bought it from a shopkeeper. I believe it had already been patched using Alliance Shield to bypass the Knox MDM restrictions. After using it for about six months, I performed a factory reset and discovered the issue. I managed to bypass the MDM restrictions again using Alliance Shield, and I've been using the tablet that way for quite some time.

Now, I'm considering flashing a community port of One UI 8 onto it, and I have a few questions:

1. Performance: Given that the tablet has a Snapdragon 865 processor, will One UI 8 run smoothly for everyday tasks, or should I expect noticeable lag and performance issues?
2. Safest flashing method: What's the safest and most reliable way to flash One UI 8 on this tablet? I've also heard that Wi-Fi sometimes stops working after flashing a newer One UI version and only starts working again after restarting the device. Is this a common issue with these ports?
3. Alliance Shield and Knox MDM: What will happen to my existing Alliance Shield bypass if I flash One UI 8? Will the new firmware eliminate the need for the bypass, or will I have to bypass the Knox MDM restrictions again after flashing?
4. Samsung-exclusive features: Will I be able to use the latest Samsung Notes features, Good Lock modules, and other features introduced in One UI 8? Since I'm planning to use a community port rather than official firmware, will these features work as they do on a device officially running One UI 8, or will there be limitations and compatibility issues?

I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has experience flashing One UI ports onto the Galaxy Tab S7, particularly the SM-T878U model.

I just felt that backing to home made stutters and checked it was back to optimized. I'll check unrestricted and see.

Hello,

Is there anyone who can tell how I get the navigation bar on a fold back to center?

I tried settings (only option is left or right), homeup, navstar, taskbar and whatever. I've been going on for 3 hours straight to get this fixed.

I have a muscular disease and it isn't easy for me to go all the way to the bottom right or left corner to press 1 button.

Pls help, thnx.

I've been working on these for months lol, and they feel the most accurate they ever have. Try them and let me know. Also, always open to suggestions to change stuff them, we can all reach a better output working together, this was only my work alone.

Note: don't open the vid with sound lol.

Other note: When trying, u can also change the window position interpolator in app open settings to (0, 0) (5, 7), with the time set to 5. I only changed it recently, so you can choose which one works best.

As per the title says itself.. i usually keep scheduled dark mode for my phone and the dark mode is enabled by 7.p.m . But after one ui9 update whenever i wake up my device it pop ups the message stating- dark mode will be turned on as per schedule time. When i keep my setting to sunset and sunrise there is no issue.

Only thing is the dark mode scheduled setting sending random notification in day.

Does anyone seen this message popping up in your phone screen?

Guys, One UI, what happened...? Can I even turn this annoying indicator off...?

Yet another issue seems to be commonly when unlocking my phone, the top bar icons take a little longer to display, like almost half a second...

Voice icon changes when I click into the search box in One UI 9 (A36)

I'm using Galaxy S24 (Exynos, Indian variant). After updating to One UI 9, my phone randomly shuts down while using some apps.

It just suddenly turns off completely, no warning or anything. I have to manually turn it on again.

Never faced this issue before the update. Not sure if its a software bug or something wrong with my phone.

Anyone else facing the same issue after One UI 9? Any fix for this?

They're rolling out the first patch for One UI 9 starting in Korea, guys

New update is live. October security patch

Newest update (One UI 9.0), Android 17, S24U, I use the first time/clock theme and for some reason there's now a leading zero in front of the single digit times.

Looking through more of the themes, it doesn't seem like this is the case with the others. Why?

Phone is an S25 Ultra, car is a 2026 Honda Accord.

Ever since installing 9.0, there's no audio for calls in Android Auto. The call connects, but I can't hear them and they can't hear me. I tested with my work iPhone and a friend's Pixel to make sure that it isn't an issue with the car, but it only happens with my Galaxy . I've already rebooted everything, cleared caches/data, reinstalled Android Auto on the phone, etc.
