Widgets Won't Work on S23 Ultra

[SweetDean]

I see it's not just me having operational issues with the latest ONE UI 8 update. Let me know if anyone else here is having problems with certain widgets not fit the window it has allotted to it. Like a 1×4 widget only appearing as a .5×3.3 with the rest cut off.

Top and bottom cut off and can't expand.

I've also had issue with other app functions not working properly in almost every app I have on my phone.

It'd have been better for Samsung to have worked out ALL the bugs before releasing another 7.0 debacle.

One UI V7.0 update on my S23 Ultra was definitely not a "debacle"!

Did you update Samsung Home, and all the other apps installed on your device? 

Did you try Booting into Recovery & Wiping Cache?

If you're having issues with One UI V8.0, maybe backup your device with Smart Switch & Factory Reset.. That's what I ALWAYS do after EVERY Android Version / One UI update.. never had any issues with updates.

You also might want to check if you have the October Security Patch on your S23 device.. There was an initial release of One UI V8.0 for the S23 series, which was paused after some bugs were reported. Samsung has released a new update for your device with the October Security Patch.
