[BUG REPORT] One UI 8.0 - Notification Panel unresponsive after update and broken map

[KarlSU]

I’m reporting two critical issues on my Galaxy XCover6 Pro (SM-G736U1) immediately after the One UI 8.0 / Android 16 update (Build: G736U1UESAGYL1).

1. Notification Panel Gesture Bug: The swipe-down gesture to open the notification shade is almost completely unresponsive once the phone is unlocked. It takes 3 to 5 attempts to work.

• Crucial Detail: The gesture works perfectly on the Lock Screen. The issue only starts after unlocking the device, which points to a software process or overlay conflict in the UI.

• Safe Mode: It also works fine in Safe Mode.

2. Native Gallery Map Issue: When I open a photo’s details to see the location, the map is just a blank/white screen. It fails to render any map data, even though my internet connection and GPS are working fine in other apps like Google Maps.

I’ve already cleared the system cache and checked permissions. This is clearly an optimization bug in the new build that affects first-party apps (Gallery) and core system gestures.

I’ve uploaded a video showing the unresponsive panel here:https://youtu.be/0y6IvlLOYv0

"Good morning everyone,

Today, I received a notification for a new system update (a software patch from Samsung or Android, I'm not sure exactly which side the fix came from). Since I was already expecting this to happen, I hit download and install immediately, feeling hopeful.

Once it finished, I restarted the phone and started testing everything. I’ve been using the device for a good while now, and the glitch is gone. I haven't experienced the notification shade lag or the Gallery map issue even once.

This confirms my suspicions from the start: the problem was never my apps or my personal data, but a bug within the initial One UI 8.0 / Android 16 release.

When you say shade it that the one that pops up at the bottom of your screen, like whenever you click singing and it won't open so it notifies you at the bottom?
