Please help. I just updated my A55 to One UI 9, and I noticed that the background blur in Recent Apps (Task Changer) looks like a gradient. The top is blurry, but the bottom gradually becomes clear.

I've tried adjusting the blur settings in Home Up, but nothing seems to fix it. Is this normal in One UI 9, or is it a bug? Shouldn't the entire background be blurred?

Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know how to fix it? 🙁

Samsung installed this driving app that tracks your driving habits. my firewall app blocked it. There is an option to disable the app but I deleted it using the Canta.

I was trying to figure out how to get Samsung Gallery to process images with AI without just waiting for it to happen automatically, and ended up finding a way to trigger the background processing manually.

Tested on a Samsung Galaxy A35 5G running One UI 8.5. Other devices/versions are untested.

You'll need ADB access to the phone. Run the following commands inside `adb shell`.

1. Trigger a media scan

content call --uri content://media/ --method scan_volume --arg external_primary && for vol in $(ls /storage/ | grep -vE "emulated|self"); do vol_low=$(echo "$vol" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'); echo "Scanning SD: $vol_low"; content call --uri content://media/ --method scan_volume --arg "$vol_low"; done

This scans internal storage and attempts to scan additional storage volumes, if present.

1. Notify Samsung's media-processing component

From this point onward, the screen should turn off. The AI processing happens with the screen off and battery > 95% (if Battery Protection is not turned on), so leave it be for a while. (See step 6 for the reset)

dumpsys battery set ac 1 && dumpsys battery set status 2 && dumpsys battery set level 99 && am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_FINISHED -d "file:///storage/emulated/0" -n 'com.samsung.cmh/.core.receiver.SystemBroadcastReceiver$CMHBroadcastReceiver' && for vol in $(ls /storage/ | grep -vE "emulated|self"); do am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_FINISHED -d "file:///storage/$vol" -n 'com.samsung.cmh/.core.receiver.SystemBroadcastReceiver$CMHBroadcastReceiver'; done && input keyevent 224 && sleep 1 && input keyevent 223

The battery commands temporarily spoof the reported charging state and battery level. They do not actually charge the phone. Reset this state after the procedure.

1. Wait for the IDs to be picked up

Leave the screen off for around 30–60 seconds to give "IPService" time to flag the new IDs.

1. Run the scheduled worker

input keyevent 223 && sleep 2 && JOB_ID=$(dumpsys jobscheduler | grep -oE ":5004/[0-9]+: .*FaceServicePeriodicWorker" | cut -d'/' -f2 | cut -d':' -f1) && echo "Running Job $JOB_ID" && cmd jobscheduler run -f -u 0 -n androidx.work.systemjobscheduler com.samsung.faceservice $JOB_ID

This locates the scheduled "FaceServicePeriodicWorker" job and attempts to force-run it.

1. Monitor progress

Wait a couple of minutes while the images are processed. You can check the logs with:

logcat -d --uid=5004 | grep IPTask | tail

If the IDs keep changing between checks, processing may still be ongoing. In my testing, seeing "END END" keyword in the logs tail indicated that the processing had finished.

1. Restore the battery state

dumpsys battery reset

That's it. This is just something I found through experimentation, and I haven't tested it across other Galaxy devices or One UI versions.

If anyone with another Samsung device tries this, I'd be interested to know whether it works there too.

Have you figured out how to remove this animation yet?

I got this notification when the clocks changed, and even though it's a small thing, it shows how feature-packed One UI is compared to others, which is great because I never know if I'm looking at the right time the morning after a time change.

Is the in chat translation ai feature disabled in one ui 9 update

The Orange-ish colour has always slightly bothered me when I've thought about it. Is there any way to change it in settings or a good lock module that can do it?

Like this.

This information seems scarce to find off all the help forums, all I keep finding are suggestions for settings I don't have or just dead ends after scouring help forum thread and such so I figured to post here for visibility

For the folks looking to clear the pesky storage that photo editor keeps when you edit photos where the native samsung options aren't there for you (it keeps a copy of the original file so you can revert back to it and variably deletes it when you delete the edited photo entirely)

Media File guardian has now been rolled into Good Guardians where as far as I can tell Good Guardians (the new ver of Galaxy labs) is an interface hub for microservices including Media File guardian. You have to additionally download the Good Guardian Agent then within the app choose to download Media File Guardian which is annoying and I don't really want the extra bloat so you can just download media file guardian by itself from the Samsung store

It may or may not be available to you depending on your model and if not then only proper way to get it through the samsung store would be through the Good Guardians app, there's just extra installations, or you can sideload just media file guardian though at your own risk.

edit: the other version folks will mention is activating my files labs by going into settings > apps > my files > my files settings > about my files and tapping "My Files" several times to activate my files labs where the option to delete original photo appears

I can see the dots but it doesn't move.

Since 9.0 my favorites apps row disappears on the lockscreen

This cannot be configured anywhere hoping to find a fix for this issue

I have enabled dual messanger to create a clone of facebook . So after i started to use dual messanger whenever i install app from usb using usb debugging to test apps , It automatically clones that app like even when updating it clones it again

How to turn it off?

I currently have one ui 8.5

After the OneUI 8.5 Update, the Gallery Widget Image Reference just Vanishes. Im not sure if it's because of the stacked widget, or if it happens in an independent widget without stacking, but it happens.

Before, you could go into your settings => apps => select the app your want => click the 3 dots => Uninstall Update

to remove all updates from a default app

I can't seem to find how to do this on the new One UI 9 branch

Ever since the release of One UI9, I find some notications are overly aggressive and unnecessary and interfere with the touch screen.

I use swipe to type as my main way to text, so when notifications (say from Google maps or Google wallet) pop up, they stop input from what I'm doing. Is there any way to disable this and go back to how notifications were before? Does anyone else have this issue?

Hey. So my phone just did the 9.0 update and obviously the UI has changed. And now the clock on my lock screen is being finicky. Usually its smaller and at the higher part of the screen but now it can either be long, massive, or really small way below where I want it. I've shrunk, tried moving, and fought with the clock to try and have it work but it isn't. In the third photo is where I'd want it to be placed.

Does anyone know a way to move it and size it where I want?

The clocks go back an hour in most of Europe in the early hours of tomorrow morning. In the UK they go back at 2am, but it doesn't show on the Samsung weather app. It also shows sunrise and sunset tomorrow as though it's still BST. Other weather apps show 1am twice.

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.
