topic Re: Problem when scrolling in Galaxy S25 https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S25/Scrolling-accelerates-on-its-own/m-p/3300393#M29415 Yes — what you’re describing on your Galaxy S25 is something that has recently been affecting several users, especially after major software updates like One UI 7. The issue sounds like the “scroll acceleration” or “scroll momentum” effect is behaving unpredictably, and it can make the phone feel like it’s scrolling too fast or “auto-scrolling” on its own unless you touch and hold to stop it. Here’s what’s likely causing it, and how to fix or reduce it: --- What’s Causing the Issue 1. Enhanced Scrolling Physics in One UI 6/7 Samsung adjusted the way scrolling inertia works — it feels more like iOS with smoother momentum, but for some users, it causes unwanted "speed bursts" during scrolling. 2. Accidental Gesture Sensitivity On high-refresh displays (like 120Hz), accidental flicks or light swipes may be interpreted as strong flicks — especially if touch sensitivity is boosted. 3. Good Lock Modules (if installed) If you use modules like One Hand Operation+, RegiStar, or NavStar, some gesture enhancements might interfere with scroll behavior. 4. Third-Party Apps or Launchers Some apps (Reddit, browsers, social media) use custom scrolling engines that can conflict with system behavior after updates. --- How to Fix or Reduce It 1. Disable Enhanced Touch Sensitivity Go to Settings > Display Turn Touch sensitivity OFF if it’s enabled This helps reduce accidental over-swipes 2. Adjust Motions and Gestures Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures Disable “Swipe to call or send messages” and “Lift to wake” These sometimes conflict with scroll inertia on certain screens 3. Use Good Lock > RegiStar (Optional Tweak) Open Good Lock > RegiStar Tap Back-tap actions or Side key behavior Disable any conflicting custom gestures Note: There’s no scroll sensitivity toggle directly, but cleaning up gesture triggers helps 4. Try “Remove Animations” Temporarily Go to Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements Turn on Remove animations This disables momentum effects entirely — a good test to confirm if the issue is animation-related 5. Reboot in Safe Mode To rule out third-party apps: Press and hold Power > Tap and hold Power off > Safe Mode In Safe Mode, try scrolling in apps like Chrome or Settings If the problem disappears, a third-party app is likely the cause --- If Nothing Else Works Check for software updates: Go to Settings > Software update Report via Samsung Members app: Go to Get Help > Error reports > UI/Touch Input This lets Samsung track the issue and issue a fix in a future patch if it’s a widespread UI bug. --- Let me know which app(s) or screen this happens in most — some have specific fixes. You're definitely not alone, and the above steps should get it back under control. Tue, 15 Jul 2025 18:20:56 GMT SolveForce 2025-07-15T18:20:56Z
