The routines I have set up will not work now. I have cleared data and cache then restarted the phone. I even tried uninstalling updates. The app takes forever to stop the spinning dots so that I can even select anything. Once it does, I select a mode and I can't scroll or select anything. If I try to set up routines, there are no options for "if" or "then" and if I try to search for one, nothing shows up. Is there any way to fix this?

Hi,

After the latest software update 19 Sept on my Galaxy S24 Ultra (Malaysia region), the Modes & Routines app gets stuck with a spinning progress bar and never loads.

What I observed / tried:

  • The issue started immediately after the update.

  • Restarting the phone did not help.

  • Clearing cache/data also didnโ€™t resolve it.

  • Workaround found: disabling App info โ†’ Change system settings โ†’ Not allowed makes the loading spinner vanish and the app opens normally.

  • However, with that permission disabled, some routines cannot change brightness, sound, or network as intended.

  • Important: When I turn on Sleep Mode, the issue comes back โ€” the progress bar spins endlessly again until I disable the โ€œChange system settingsโ€ permission.

Request:
Please confirm if Samsung is aware of this bug and whether a fix is planned in the next update. This affects core functionality of Modes & Routines for S24 Ultra users.

Thank you.

How long is it going to be before this is fixed? This is a pretty big feature on the phone to currently have broken.

On my phone, Modes and Routines has no issues and opens for editing very quickly. Try clearing the cache and see if that helps.

My Modes and Routines was updated the other day after I went looking for an update in the Galaxy Store (now version 4.9.04.13). I was having the same issues as OP but they are now fixed for me. I recommend everyone look for an update, or wait patiently as it appears to be rolling out.

Since September 19th, the Modes and routines app has been very inconsistent. I used them pretty intensively: to switch from work mode to bedtime mode and routines to automate a lot of my everyday tasks. I have cleared the cache and data from the app and restarted my phone, but the issues still persist.

Deleting data deleted all my Modes and Routines (which I expected), but now I can't even add them back. When I open the app, I get stuck on a loading loop which takes about 3-5 minutes to get out of.

App stuck in a loading loop.

When I do get passed it, the modes are stuck and I can't add conditions or actions.

Condition page is blank.

Routines if page is blank too

Factory resetting my phone would be a last resort, as I have a lot of apps that are complicated to sign in to and data that is complicated to back up and restore exactly.
