Have you experienced any issues with your action buttons and side buttons since the most recent update? Mine stopped working, and I had to reset my watch.

.5 is ok, but when animation is off on your watch, it is so much faster. Just like on my ultra s23, I turn off the animation, it's so much faster.

I tried it. Every time the watch would restart and go back to normal

I have searched everywhere for this issue but cannot see it replicated anywhere. Hoping somebody can help? I am having issues with the buttons and gestures set up. This was all working before so I don't kniw if I turned something off or not but if I have it is not obvious. Here is my current issue:

Go to settings, Buttons and Gestures. I have it set as follows:
Quick button: Action Samsung Health - My exercises. Start action with: double press. Siren: Press and hold for 5 seconds is on.
Home button: Double press - Timer. Press and hold: Power off menu
Back button: Short press - Go to previous screen.

What works:
Back button is going to previous screen.
Press and hold home button brings up power menu.

What doesn't work.
Quick action double press or Home button double press: Only thing that happens is an orange marker comes up on the screen next to the actual button.
Quick action hold for 5 seconds (brings power menu, doesnt sound siren)
Home button double press 

 

I have reset the watch with no joy.

Any ideas? I also noted that when in an exercise in Samsung Health, say running, I used to be able to press the quick action button once to pause and hold to end the workout. This doesnt work now, it again just shows the orange icon briefly.

I should add that I have also tried resetting the watch and the issue is persisting.
