Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 users facing severe issues while opening the display
Galaxy fans and tech enthusiasts are waiting for the launch of the next generation of foldable phones. On the other side, the consumers of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 are facing severe issues while opening the display of their foldable phone, and this is annoying them a lot.
As per the information, some users of fourth-generation foldable phones are having trouble opening their device’s display. The report says, the display of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 smartphone isn’t opening fully and it even leads to a screen break when tried for some.
Some users stated that the display of their foldable device didn’t open after playing a game for a few minutes at full brightness. While another user says, his phone’s hinge was suddenly faulty after leaving it next to a hot tub. Hence, the reason behind this could be excessive heat.
Moving on, the blockage appeared to be comprised of the same bristles and tape that fit the brushes that line the hinge. These brushes have been a part of the hinge design and their purpose is to clear out dirt and debris from the hinge. The report also indicates the glue that holds these brushes in place is starting to diminish.

Samsung One UI 7 Beta lock screen blur system is buggy
There’s a weird bug in One UI 7 Beta’s lock screen blur engine. Samsung has recently started the Public Beta Program and released the first Beta. While performance is decent, the lock screen issue needs to be fixed in the next Beta build.
IceUniverse is on a mission to help Samsung evolve the latest iteration of One UI. Recently, the tipster posted a screenshot, showcasing the bug in the blur engine of the lock screen in Samsung’s One UI 7 Beta software.
The lock screen brings a cool Now Bar feature and stunning widgets. The blur control is comparable to Apple’s iOS 18 operating system. Meanwhile, Samsung seemingly overlooked optimizing the blur system for the lock screen notification aspect.
As you can see in the screenshot below, the notification that appears on the lock screen has a nearly transparent overlay. It’s a whitish card that has the same shape as the primary notifications window but lacks proper blur application.
The card seems to have entirely skipped the blur application and the transparent white overlay differentiating the notifications from the lock screen wallpaper. It looks quite weird but it will be addressed in the second Beta firmware.
One UI 7 Beta Now Bar
Samsung’s Android 15 software is loaded with cool new features and UI tweaks. The Now Bar is a unique addition that makes it easier to operate running apps and services right from the lock screen on your Galaxy.
It’s not a static function but it packs dynamic optimization capabilities. It expands to a large card on the lock screen and when impended, it takes little space between the two lock screen shortcuts at the bottom of the screen.
Here’s a detailed post on the Now Bar, which you can access here.

Android Auto bug adds ‘Oh’ at the end of WhatsApp messages
Android Auto app lets users use apps and read messages while keeping their hands on the wheel. It offers a useful feature of having incoming messages read out loud. However, some users have recently noticed an issue where WhatsApp messages are being read with an unexpected “oh” added to the end.
Several Android Auto users have reported that when WhatsApp messages are read aloud, an extra “oh” is added at the end. This “oh” doesn’t appear in the original message at all, which makes it seem like a random glitch. Many people have shared their experiences on Reddit, describing the same issue.
While the exact cause of this bug is still unclear, it seems to be connected to Google Assistant, which reads the messages aloud in Android Auto. The strange part is that this issue only happens with WhatsApp only, other messaging apps don’t seem to be affected.
This weird bug doesn’t have any functional impact on Android Auto or WhatsApp, it’s just a bit confusing and funny too. At the moment, there’s no word on when a fix will be available, but it’s something many users hope will be addressed in a future update.
If you’re using Android Auto, have you encountered this strange bug, or are you one of the lucky ones who hasn’t been affected? Stay tuned with us for more updates.
WhatsApp now allows you to add custom message to forwarded content

Here’s how to fix text shadow issue on your Samsung smartphone
Some Samsung users have reported an issue where text in photos appears with a shadow when viewed in the Gallery app. This issue makes it harder to read or view certain images clearly. It is mainly affecting Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition users.
Notably, this text shadow issue occurs on Samsung devices when the Super HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature is enabled, particularly with high-resolution images (50MP/200MP) containing text on bright backgrounds.
Samsung has acknowledged the issue and identified the cause of it, which is related to the Super HDR setting. Fortunately, there is an easy way to temporarily fix the issue while waiting for a permanent fix.
For that, you just need to disable Super HDR mode. Just open the Gallery app >> tap on the More icon at the bottom right >> go to Settings >> turn off the Super HDR option.
Moreover, Samsung is also working on a software update to fix this issue permanently. Once the update is available, the issue should be resolved, and you will be able to re-enable Super HDR without experiencing text display issues.
To check the update, open Settings >> Software Update >> Download and Install option. Keep an eye out for the software update notification, and make sure to install it as soon as it becomes available.
