Tab S9 Ultra - Recent Apps, Home, and Back Buttons Not Working with UI 6

coachwade — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 01:24:11 GMT

After updating to the new UI 6 / Android 14 the Recent app button, home button and back button don't work at certain time. The first time I noticed it was when I was in the "Media Output" screen. None of those buttons worked. Recent apps doesn't work from the Home Screen either.

Huge pain! This really needs an update fast. They don't work on the following screens:

- Home Screen

- App Drawer

- Media Output screen

Gesture option doesn't work either?

Good question. I haven't tried it.

I switched it to gestures and they work with the gestures. I'm using the 3 separate recent, home, and back gestures. Just for the heck of it, I switched back and they stopped again. I'll use gestures for now until a fix comes out. Thanks for the temp fix.

How did you get the UI6 update? I have the beta on my ZFold but haven't seen it for the Tablets.

When I got the update for my phone S22 Ultra, out of curiosity, I checked for my tablet, and it was available. "Software Update" under Settings.

Is this in the US? Or Europe that you got the update

I received it last night on my S9 tablet also! Thank goodness, I would not have known what I was missing except I was using the beta on my z-fold.

Same thing happening here, that means they don't test the updates before releasing them. Do they even check this forums or is it just for us to communicate with each other?

Try booting to Safe Mode.

Just tried it in Safe Mode and it still does the same thing. Recent, Home, and Back don't work in certain screens. Thanks for the idea.

There will be many updates to fix all the glitches

Same problem here. Recent apps works fine when in an app, but does not work on the homescreen. Using buttons, not gestures.

I have the same problem.

**POSSIBLE FIX**

I saw this on the European Samsung Forums and it worked for me. Been 24 hours and still working.

OP from Europe, "I just changed the location of the navigation bar to the left [side], closed it, and changed it back to the right side, and it is working fine now... Settings > Display > Navigation Bar"

Ty. That seems to have done the trick for me. Working fine now
