Hi all! 😃

If you have any suggestions for features or apps, then please share them with us here.

No worries 👍

Mainly a recommendation for the Samsung Expert Raw app for consideration. Thanks.

The app could do with some for example 50MP RAW manually locked bracketing options.

1. For exposure for those who want to manually do HDR in 3rd party photography apps afterwards. Since this is already automatically done when taking a photo in the app giving a merged output. Instead of the HDR merged output being provided, just provide the original under and over-exposed images used in the HDR capture to the user to tweak themselves. This should be quite easy to add surely? Better still, allow selection of the darkest and lightest points desired first.
2. For focus bracketing, which helps with getting all of a landscape image in focus when there is close foreground for example. Allow manually setting the first image focus start point and the last image focus end point, then automatically take a chosen number of shots focusing between these as fast as possible. This is also very important for macro photography, where the depth of the field can be just a few millimetres in each image at times to reveal more of the image in post. These can get auto-merged in applications like Lightroom, unless this is something that you would want to be added to the Galaxy AI, for example, as a helpful feature!

PLEASE BRING THE SEARCHBAR BACK TO THE TOP!!! what a awful idea to bring it down close to the keyboard... Being a designer myself, I must say that are somethings that we should not try to reinvent like the wheel, the way gestures used to work and the SEARCHBAR position, for example.

One UI search bar at the bottom takes longer than at the top. It is not logical. The search bar in the Web browser is at the top. Also the oval battery percent icon is too small for older eyes. Hard to see it.

[Smarczak260]

Make the search bar position editable or back at the top. It's driving me crazy.

Remove option for fixed buttons like "SmartView", "Smart Things" etc from Notification/ quick panel Bar. 
ONE UI 7 future update should solve this hopefully !

Any way to move the search bar back to the top in one UI 7? I get the reason for moving it, but I've found it's actually more of an inconvenience for me as I have large hands and bending my thumb down that far when I'm using the phone at times is a pain.

Hi, I have a small list of personal gripes with One Ui 7. If there is a way to implement any of these suggestions I'm sure that many others would also benefit for having these options.

1. Need the ability to disable split-screen and pop-up view

2. Need to be able to force stop an app from the Recents Screen. Do this by pressing the app image then force stop (other devices have this)

3. Need to be able to customise what is displayed on quick settings (remove smart things, ect.)

4. Need to be able to make the volume bar slimmer

5. Need to be able to have solid notifications and not transparent

6. Need to be able to have rectangular notifications

7. Need to be able to disable notification stacking

8. Media player returned to notifications

9. Have the option for a large clock, like on Google pixel lockscreen

10. Option to have quick settings names always displayed

11. Option to change quick settings button drawer to horizontal swipe not pull down (like on every other android device)

12. Data connection speed in Status bar

13. Goodlock option to return the 'list' Recents Screen

14. Seperate battery percentage

15. Remove web search from the app search bar

16. Ability to disable groups in the app drawer. This would make any movement of an app detect as pulling to homescreen and just make it much smoother

17. Proper adaptive charging in which only reaches 100% just before the alarm goes off, not involving sleep patterns.

18. Ability to disable the 'modes' activation animation

19. Option to remove the 'Side button settings' button from the power menu

I am currently using an S24.

Instead of creating more advanced samsung device why not create something that has less radiation and less effects on the human eyes? so people that just want to read, can just use their phones without worrying about their eyes instead of buying a book. and the description and line would be "Phone for a healthy eyes, just like having a book" blah blah, or a monitor that has less radiation or just create an attachable screen similar to screen protector that lessen the radiation of the device which can be applied to both android and computer device

@Bugged_: To reduce the potential strain on your eyes that prolonged exposure to your phone might cause, you can head to Settings > Display > Eye comfort shield > On. This feature limits blue light and uses warmer colours, and should help to keep your eyes comfortable while reading. 

From the Display settings you can also enable Dark mode, reduce your overall screen brightness and change the Screen mode to 'Natural'.

I would also recommend checking Settings > Accessibility > Vision enhancements to further customise your display to your preference.
