Missing One UI as an option

user5qkVDx5gBy — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 04:11:28 GMT

Android 14, info indicates One UI 6.0 is installed.

Feels like phone got hacked.

Lost all favorites on home screen and secondary screens. Now there is only one screen with a few options. Hard to find anything.

In default apps for Launcher, there is a launcher called "Launcher" with generic android icon. There is no option for One UI.

How to get things back to what we had.

Please.

Fixed.

The default home app had the following apps:

Launcher
Nova7
Smart Launcher

At some point I noticed that Power Saving was on. When I turned that off, everything came back. It even changed the genericly named "Launcher" back to One UI. I did tested it be turning power saving back on. Sure enough one screen with 8 icons at the bottom.

I'd say that's an extreme approach to limiting battery usage. I'm guessing the battery was low and there was a suggestion to save battery. So no way to understand why all the curated home pages disappeared. Bad user experience design.

I had the same problem as described above - my home screen is missinf . My Power Save got turned on accidentally. When I turned it off the Home Screen is still missing. I have powered off the phone but it is still missing when I restarted it. Please advise. Thanks

I had same problem, I have been on battery saving mode for a couple of months and suddenly today I had the same issue, lost all app icons but four and had option to add four. No home screen gestures worked. Changing battery setting fixed it. THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING!!!
