Galaxy S25 Ultra Owners Face Glitches as Samsung Patches One UI 7 Rollout
Samsung’s much-hyped Galaxy S25 Ultra and its polished One UI 7 software are off to a rocky start. While the phone has impressed with its sleek titanium design, AI features, and next-gen performance, early users are now facing software hiccups that prompted Samsung to pause the One UI 7 rollout globally.
Here’s a breakdown of the top issues affecting users:
1. Always On Display (AOD) Clock Misalignment
Owners of Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6, and potentially the S25 Ultra, reported that ClockFace-customized clocks appear misaligned on the AOD screen. Samsung has confirmed this glitch and is working on a fix via an AOD app update expected to roll out next week.
🔧 Fix incoming via app update. AOD customization will be restored soon.
2. Missing Battery Icon
After updating to One UI 7, some users noticed the battery icon disappearing from the status bar. The cause? An old QuickStar setting from One UI 6.x carried over post-update.
🔧 Fix it manually:
Open Good Lock > QuickStar > Visibility of Indicator > Enable Battery Icon.
3. Secure Folder Privacy Breach
One serious bug affects Samsung’s Secure Folder, where private photos stored inside may appear as notifications outside the folder due to the Auto-create Stories feature in the Gallery app.
🔒 Temporary fix:
Open Gallery inside Secure Folder > Menu > Settings > Turn off Auto-create stories.
4. Ultrawide Camera Shaking Issue
Some S25 Ultra users are reporting that the 50MP ultrawide camera shakes uncontrollably, causing blurry images and videos. The issue persists across apps, including Snapchat. While some claim it started after a recent update, others report hardware defects.
🔧 Samsung service centers are replacing faulty cameras. A software fix is under review.
5. One UI 7 Rollout Paused
Due to the issues above—especially the Secure Folder privacy bug and unlocking problems on S24 series devices—Samsung has paused the global One UI 7 rollout, affecting both current and planned updates.
📅 Samsung has promised to issue a revised timeline shortly.
Looking Ahead
Samsung is actively working on bug fixes while promising to resume the One UI 7 rollout with enhanced stability and security. If you’re using a Galaxy S25 Ultra or any device eligible for One UI 7, ensure Good Lock modules are updated and keep an eye on official software patches.
