One UI 8.0 - Notification shade stuck and Gallery maps not loading

[Kharl]

Hey guys, I just updated my Galaxy XCover6 Pro to One UI 8.0 (Android 16) and I’m having two super annoying issues. Is anyone else seeing this?

1. Notification Menu: The swipe down from the top is basically broken. It doesn't respond to the first 2 or 3 swipes. I have to lock/unlock the screen and press really hard at the top to get it to work. It used to be super smooth before the update.
2. Gallery App: When I try to see a photo's location on the map, it just shows a blank screen. It’s like the app has no internet access even though everything else is working fine.

I’ve already tried clearing the cache and checking permissions but nothing works. Is this a known bug in this build (G736U1UESAGYL1)? Any tips on how to fix this?

The notifications panel has been redesigned you can edit it to go back to the old way instead of split for notifications and quick panel

To do so pull your notifications panel down from right and tap icon then choose edit panel and select together then hit done for it to stay.


Is this for one photo or more?

Your notifications panel

Your notifications panel

I think there is a misunderstanding. I’m not talking about the new layout or the split between notifications and quick settings. I know how to edit the panel.

The problem is that the gesture itself is broken. The screen does not respond when I swipe down. It takes 3 or 4 aggressive attempts, or locking and unlocking the screen, just to get the menu to appear. It’s a touch responsiveness issue caused by the update, not a design preference.

Regarding your question about the photos: it happens with every single photo in the gallery. The map simply refuses to load, showing a blank screen instead. It’s like the Gallery app lost its connection to the map server after the update.

It’s not about how the menu looks, it’s about the fact that it doesn't open

Thanks for clarifying this
On my s25u and Fold 7 on One UI 8 and now in beta 8.5 don't experience it.
Try safe mode to see if it is still an issue?

I also moved your question to the One UI Forum

The problem is gone when in safe mode

So check your 3rd party apps downloaded, one of them is responsible.
