Since OneUi8 - My S25 has been downshifting off QHD high res. When this happens, the font gets super small (similar to when you are using a mobile browser and switch it to desktop view).
When it gets small, I can correct it by toggling display resolution to the lowest setting, followed by switching back to QHD.
Sometimes when I call up the display settings - it shows its in QHD - other times its in HD.
I should note it didn't start happening immediately after update, but a couple days later after I wiped the cache partition (something I routinely do a couple days after an update).
I thought maybe it was the result of a corrupt routine (eg - switch to HD+ if battery <25%). I disabled all rountine and goodlock home screen adjustments. Tried clearing the cache again etc.
Kind of at a loss. Anyone experience issues like this?
Thank you for providing a detailed account of the display resolution issue you've encountered on your Galaxy S25 following the One UI 8 update. Your observations and troubleshooting efforts are both thorough and insightful.
The behavior you described—automatic downshifting from QHD to HD resolution, accompanied by unusually small font rendering—may be linked to system-level optimizations introduced in the latest software update. While such adjustments are typically designed to enhance battery performance or thermal efficiency, they should not result in inconsistent display settings or user interface anomalies.
Your routine cache partition wipe and subsequent disabling of routines and Good Lock adjustments were prudent steps. However, the intermittent nature of the resolution change suggests that there may be a deeper conflict within the system settings or a residual effect from adaptive power-saving features.
Recommended Next Steps:
Review Power Saving Settings: Ensure that no automatic resolution scaling is enabled under battery or performance modes.
Reset Display Settings: Navigate to Settings > Display > Resolution, and consider resetting to default to eliminate any residual configuration conflicts.
Safe Mode Test: Boot the device into Safe Mode to determine if third-party apps may be influencing resolution behavior.
If the issue continues to occur, we kindly recommend submitting an error report through the Samsung Members app. This will allow our technical team to review the system logs and investigate the matter further for potential resolution in future updates.
As the behavior appears to have followed the recent One UI update, please note that reverting to a previous version is not supported. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to enhance the user experience.

I have the similar issue. S23U with One UI8.0. Resolution toggle stays at the middle setting ,but if I choose lower, everything just keeps getting smaller, and if I choose bigger, everything keeps getting bigger. But when I open the setting again, it is always the middle resolution chosen. Adjusting screen zoom slider resets everything to normal size. But I can not choose any resolution besides the middle one, it always stays selected. Choosing higher or lower just shrinks or enlarges everything on screen
Thank you for sharing your experience with the resolution settings on your Galaxy S23 Ultra running One UI 8.0. We understand how frustrating it can be when display adjustments do not behave as expected. Based on your description, it appears that while the resolution toggle allows selection of different options, the system may not be applying them correctly, defaulting back to the middle setting upon reopening the menu.
Kindly proceed with the recommended steps outlined above and verify if the issue has been resolved. Should the problem persist, please do not hesitate to reach out for further assistance.
