One UI 7 Home Up missing on Galaxy Z Fold6, Flip6 and Tab S10 – There’s good news
Samsung has released a new update for its NotiStar app with version 7.0.17.0. The update includes an important fix that will improve how the app works for many users.
The fresh update fixes a problem where notification permissions would reset every time the phone was restarted. This meant users might not receive notifications properly after a reboot.
With the new update, the notification issue has been resolved. Now, your notification settings will stay the same, even if you restart your device.
NotiStar is a Samsung’s Good Lock module for notification customization of apps. It helps users manage their notifications more effectively. The app lets you keep track of past notifications, search through them, and filter them by apps or keywords.
Now, the new update makes the app more useful and stable. You can update the app easily, just need to open the Galaxy Store, tap the Menu button, and go to the Updates section to find NotiStar. You can also open the Good Lock app and update it from there.
Alternatively, you can sideload the update from the third-party app link mentioned here, but it is not recommended. If you use NotiStar often, it’s important to install version 7.0.17.0 to enjoy a smoother and more reliable experience.
Samsung has released a new update for its Good Lock app after it launched the app in more countries around the world. Good Lock is an amazing app for Samsung phones that lets users change and customize how their phone looks and works.
Before, only people in a few countries could use it, but now it’s available to more users through the Google Play Store. After the global launch, many people noticed that some popular modules in the app were missing or not working.
Samsung quickly noticed the issue of missing modules in the app and has now fixed it to provide a smoother experience. The modules that are now back and working include Home Up, ClickFace, NotiStar, MultiStar, and Display Assistant (Beta).
Now, users of the eligible Galaxy devices can download these modules without any issue. They can now easily find and install modules to use new functions.
At the same time, Samsung has also removed three modules – Galaxy to Share, Dropship, and RegiStar. These were only meant for users in South Korea, and it looks like they were added to the global version by mistake. This means that these modules might not be released globally.
Even though those three are no longer available, most users will be happy to see the main modules working again. Samsung aims to give a better experience to users everywhere with these updates.
Samsung expanding Good Lock to more countries but it mirrors One UI 7 rollout
Samsung is planning to release a new update for its Good Lock app after some Galaxy users noticed a strange issue. The issue confused many users as it removed one of the important options.
Recently, after updating the Good Lock app, many users found that the Terrace menu was missing. Normally, there are three menus at the bottom of the app – Terrace, Plugins, and You. But after the update, Terrace disappeared for some people.
Many users were worried and wondered why the Terrace menu disappeared. A Samsung community moderator explained that this problem happens when the app has a problem connecting to the internet. If the network doesn’t work properly, the Terrace menu might not show up.
Moreover, the moderator mentioned that Samsung has already fixed this issue and will include the solution in the next update of the Good Lock app. So, users just need to wait a little for the update to arrive.
In the meantime, Samsung shared a quick tip that might help. If you see the Terrace menu is missing, try a quick fix. For that, close the Good Lock app completely (swipe it away from the recent apps screen) >> Open the app again. This might help the menu appear again.
Samsung is working hard to fix the problem with the new update. Once the new update is out, everything should go back to normal. Until then, try restarting the app.
Samsung could soon bring these two Good Lock modules globally
