Galaxy S21 Android 12-based One UI 4 Beta has no Samsung Bixby vibration feedback for some
Samsung is letting the Galaxy S21 series smartphone users experience the all-new features of the Android 12-based One UI 4.0 version in advance, thanks to the One UI Beta program.
According to the information that emerged so far, the One UI 4 Beta didn’t have any severe issue or bug that reduces the overall user experience. However, the latest one is related to the virtual assistant called Samsung Bixby.
In the Korean community, the Galaxy S21 user shared his concern that the vibration feedback has been disappeared when he long pressed the power button. If you don’t know, long pressing the power button is a command to open Samsung Bixby.
Following the consumer’s report, we’ve tried to run Bixby by long-pressing the side key, better known as the power button. Just opposite to the concerns, our Galaxy S21 doesn’t have such signs of no vibration feedback as it’s working normally on One UI 4 Beta.
Aside from this, the Samsung community moderator acknowledged the Galaxy S21 user’s report and provided him with some steps to follow and way to report an error. You can know more about it below.
If you press and hold the power button, a weak vibration comes out and Bixby runs, but the vibration feedback does not appear as an error. Try rebooting once and if the same symptom persists, please report an error.
