This white text appearing issue of the Samsung Calendar widget is quite frustrating. It is worth mentioning that you’re not the only one facing this issue, as several devices are affected by this.
Fortunately, Samsung has acknowledged the One UI 7 Calendar widget issue and confirmed that settings are not reflected properly due to differences in widget properties in the latest Galaxy software. In addition, the community moderator has also shared a temporary fix to resolve it.

Galaxy S25’s Phone App Freezing During Calls? How to Fix It

If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy S25 series smartphone and facing issues during phone calls, you’re not alone. Many users have reported that their phone sometimes freezes or the sound cuts out when receiving a call. These issues caused frustration as users were sometimes not able to answer their important call.
Fortunately, Samsung has acknowledged the Phone app issues and has already released a fix. You can solve the problem quickly by updating one app on your phone.
Samsung Phone App Freezing Issue
The issue happens because of a problem with the Bixby Wakeup app, which is responsible for listening for the “Hi Bixby” voice command. In version 2.6.11.18 of this app, there’s a bug that causes voice recognition to stop working correctly.
This Bixby bug affects phone calls by making the Phone app freeze or cutting off the sound when a call comes in. It is mainly spotted on the Galaxy S25 smartphone, but thankfully, it can be fixed easily.
How to resolve
To fix the issues, Samsung has released an updated version of the Bixby Wakeup app. Identified via version 2.6.13.2, the new update fixes the sound cut and freezing issues on the Galaxy S25 smartphone.
You can update the app by opening the Galaxy Store on your phone >> tap the Menu icon at the top >> select the Updates option >> find Bixby Wakeup in the list, and tap Update. After updating, your calls should work normally again on the Galaxy S25 smartphone, meaning no more Phone app freezing or missing audio.
If the issue continues, try restarting your phone or checking for other software updates. Keeping your apps up to date is the best way to avoid issues like this.

Samsung One UI 8 Beta has a weird animation problem [Video]

If you are a One UI 8 beta tester and using the Galaxy S25 Ultra, there’s this really annoying bug that @UniverseIce first called out. Basically, your screen just stops responding during app animations. You tap something, the animation starts, and you are stuck waiting for it to finish before you can do anything else.
It’s one of those bugs that sounds minor until you actually experience it. Try using the Gallery app – you know how you normally just rapid-fire through photos? Well, forget about that. Every transition forces you to wait, and it gets old really fast.
We have seen a similar issue in previous One UI versions. It’s like Samsung can’t figure out how to make the animations look good without breaking basic touch responsiveness.
The whole beta process runs through the Samsung Members app, which means the company is waiting for bug reports from users like us. It works, but it also means problems like this might stick around for weeks while they collect feedback and figure out fixes.
The stable release is supposed to drop sometime between July and August, but if they keep finding issues like this, I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets pushed back. Samsung’s track record with software timelines isn’t exactly clear.
Should You Install It?
If you are thinking about jumping on the One UI 8 Beta, just know what you are getting into. This animation bug is genuinely annoying if you are someone who uses their phone heavily throughout the day.
For developers or tech enthusiasts who don’t mind some rough edges, it’s still worth checking out for the new features. But if you need your daily driver to work smoothly, maybe wait for the stable release – assuming Samsung actually fixes this stuff by then.

Samsung Pay issue fixed after brief service interruption

If you use Samsung Pay for your everyday purchases, you might have noticed a strange payment issue on Monday morning. This popular mobile payment service on Galaxy devices experienced a short disruption due to a temporary issue that left many users unable to make payments.
Around 7 am on June 02, Galaxy users started facing issues with Samsung Pay. Several users stated that they couldn’t make payments or even add their cards to the app. This caused a lot of frustration for people who rely on Samsung Pay for quick and easy purchases.
Many users posted complaints on social media, saying things like, “Samsung Pay doesn’t work,” and “I couldn’t pay at the convenience store.” As a result, many were forced to use physical credit or debit cards instead.
While the issue caused inconvenience for a few hours, Samsung quickly acknowledged the payment issue and assured users that they were working to fix it. By 10:30 am, the company confirmed that the error affecting card payments and registration had been resolved.
Although the issue was resolved quickly, the exact cause of the disruption remains unclear. Samsung hasn’t shared any details about what caused the glitch.
Notably, this wasn’t the first time Samsung Pay faced an issue. Last month, the service experienced a brief outage due to network equipment problems, but that was fixed in just 3 minutes.
For now, Samsung Pay is back to normal, and users can once again use the service to make their purchases with ease. Samsung also assured users that the team is taking steps to prevent it from happening again in the future.
