S25/OneUI7 - So many bugs

So many bugs in this phone.

Trying to launch apps from the notification shade often fails - e.g. if BBC Sounds is playing most of the time tapping on the 'media' widget' from the shade will open the app, as expected. But at least 10% of the time nothing happens.

Notification shade itself is poorly designed. I don't want to have to reach all the way up to the top of the phone to get to the control panel, so I switched it to the old style and set it so a swipe down anywhere on the home screen. BUT if I want to see the media widget as mentioned above I have to swipe a second time for the full control panel. Why isn't the media widget on first swipe like it used to be?!

Also, they've messed up 'play on top'. Apps like discovery plus always used to play nicely on top of other apps, but now it simply doesn't. Other apps work as expected, but Discovery isn't even listed in the list of apps where you can select those you want to play on top!

Other gripes -

Sound quality on calls, via the speakers and bluetooth headphones is not as good as my S24, no matter how much I play with the Dolby or equalizer settings.

Why is the app drawer now one big long page, so I have swipe multiple times to get to apps beginning with T, U, V, W etc. What was wrong with swiping sideways?

Scrolling is jittery in browsers and apps like twitter.

 

Frankly I wish I'd stuck with the S24...

Think you can change the app draw by changing the sort order. Can't really see the problem though. You have to swipe multiple times with the old style app draw.

The only options in sort are custom or alphabetical. 

If you sort by 'custom' they do indeed spread out sideways over several pages, but in a TOTALLY RANDOM order and therefore pointless. Why can't they be in alphabetical order sideways like before?

In reply to your s24 comment. The older phones will get these 'features' with one ui 7. So swapping to an s24 wouldn't actually fix anything. Just file bug reports where you can and hope. Good lock should fix a few of the things you said once it's fully working. Also remember there hasn't been any updates for the s25 phones yet. We're all still using the first version of the software. Meaning we're kinda bug testing it for them. Yes they tested it internally but you can only really be sure when real people use your software. So the next update or future updates should fix a lot of issues.

Another reason they do all the 'good prices' on release, there will be times when the phones throw a wobbly, will take a few updates to sorr it all out

It's exactly as it was before and it's not a random order.

It's not random, and it places apps exactly how it always has in previous OneUI.
