The UI would greatly benefit from more stylish and customizable widgets on the home screen to enhance personalization and user engagement.
2. Lock Screen Clock Faces:
Please consider offering a variety of clock face styles on the lock screen to cater to different aesthetic preferences and improve the overall visual appeal.
3. Search Bar Placement:
It would be more intuitive to place the search bar above the bottom icon row on the home screen for easier access and better UI balance.
4. Battery Drain Issue:
A major concern is the excessive battery drain associated with the current UI. Optimizing background processes, animations, and widget refresh rates could significantly improve battery life.
One can get the clock face variety for the lock screen using the ClockFace plugin in the Good Lock app. Download Good Lock from the Galaxy Store, open it and download the ClockFace plugin.
There is no search bar on the home screen so I do not know what you mean. Does that reference the app drawer (swipe up function that pulls up all apps with search bar on the bottom)?
On battery drain, that is more a user issue and a poorly optimized app almost always 3rd party. One can open the Device Care app and see which apps are using the most energy. There are setting within that app that allow unused apps to be put asleep, all but preventing them form using battery energy and CPU usage. Also, on individual apps, one can disallow certain features that are not needed and also going into the app properties and battery info there, they can restrict battery usage.
Recommendations:
Restrict apps that are not used much and allow them to be put into sleep or even deep sleep modes. Install Good Guardians app from the Galaxy Store and install all plugins for it. Use the Galaxy App Booster plugin, especially after installing new update or UIs. Thermal Guardian is great for seeing apps that cause excessive power use causing overheating. Battery Guardian works well. Clear the cache partition after the same updates (search here for "Wipe cache partition").
The Voice Captioning available in some regions was by far the best and most impressive Ai feature i have ever seen, why isit not available for other regions or 8.5
I was able to. watch live Foreign language movies and receive instant subtitles far more advanced than anything that Live captions can do. This really needs implementation on official roll out
