Since updating to One UI 7 based on Android 15, I’ve been facing several issues that many other users have also reported:

Widgets appear smaller and don’t fill their space properly.

Some widgets randomly disappear from the home screen.

The Modes and Routines panel icons are too small and visually inconsistent.

The Routines widget is no longer separate on the home screen, which reduces convenience.

The Now Bar stays permanently on the lock screen with no option to hide it, which many users find intrusive.

Other UI elements like app icons and toggles remain large, causing disproportion.

The volume media slider is smaller and harder to use than before.


I have tried resizing widgets, changing grid settings, using Good Lock, and switching launchers, but none fully solve these problems.

Since these issues are confirmed by multiple users, I ask if there’s any known way to fix them now, or should I wait for a future One UI update?

I kindly request Samsung to:

Provide unified scaling controls for widgets, panels, and icons

Restore the separate Routines widget

Add an option to toggle the Now Bar visibility on the lock screen

Fix widget stability to prevent disappearing widgets

Improve volume media slider usability


Thanks for reading. I hope Samsung and the community can help address these problems soon

I agree ...need a fix. I can no longer access the quick settings screen and the now bar needs to be hidden. Why change how you turn the phone off. Instead of just a long press on the power button now you have to do a combination long press and volume down. Samsung you need to go back to the previous UI because UI7 it's not a positive change
