Feedback on S23 series One UI 6.1 megathread

[Emi_byifi73hn3n89ocf]

Every since updating to this verson, The most significant features i use are circle to search and the lockscreen widgets. Some bugs: slow charging speed, crappy lockscreen widget animations. And slightly more battery drain. Fix this samsung.

The most used option since I had my Note 8 to current S23 Ultra. And now they just remove it ! Bring it back as it is important. We do not need another third party app for something that was already in the Samsung software.

This was an idiotic decision and not thought out. Either move the mic back or allow us to select its location on the left or right.

ok, so there's still not solution on making the icons their correct colors like before the update?

Such a bad design.  Move it back

I got the new update forced on me last night, and this sucks. The fact that there are now bo swipe navigation like there were before is ridiculous, can't easily swipe to multitask or navigate back. 'Back' is now a ridiculous side swipe like on the iphone (there's a reason we bought androids) and it makes navigating swipe based apps appalling AND when you want it to work it doesn't half the time. In addition, the microphone icon was moved to the bottom of the keyboard, raising the entire board up significantly making for an ugly layout and destroying years of muscle memory with the only fix being to disable voice.

To get the swipe navigation back
Download Navstar from goodlock and enable show extra gestures then exit goodlock
Open phone settings
Display
Navigation bar
Select gestures
More options
And select the 3 gestures

Been having numerous issues with one ui 6.1 on my Fold 5. Freezing on the google news screen. The is an option to disable the useless circle to search feature but I can't bring back the google assistant shortcut I used frequently for reminders. I've also hung up on numerous people since the screen off function fails whe I have the phone up to my ear. I've been debating a switch after a decade with Samsung and these novelty software and AI features are bloated and useless. This will be my last Samsung phone if the issues continue... My battery drain has also been horrible since updating.

Why remove the 3 navigation buttons below, just keep it as an option. I swear, I've had this option on since it came out on my S9, then on my S23, it looks good and feels go to use. Now we have an iphone button in the middle, and every time I try to swipe with max sensitivity, btw, I can't because the phone case is in the way and it's an uncomfortable plus it's a slow gesture compared to the previous one. 

It was not even a bad decision, some people may like this new one, but it was an unnecessary one to remove the previous option, please bring back.
