After updating the Galaxy Watch 6 to One UI 6.0, the fast forward and rewind buttons in the media controller no longer function.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. I updated the Galaxy Watch 6 to One UI 6.0.
  2. Opened the media controller tile on the watch.
  3. Played a podcast from Pocket Cast and You Tube music.
  4. On the older UI, pressing the fast forward or rewind buttons skipped forward or backward in the media being played.
  5. After the update, pressing the fast forward or rewind buttons has no effect. Playback continues as if the buttons were not pressed.

Environment:

  • Device: Galaxy Watch 6
  • OS Version: One UI 6.0
  • Paired Device: Pixel 9 Pro XL
  • Media Apps Tested: Pocket Cast, YouTube Music
  • Connection Method: Bluetooth

Additional Information:

  • The play/pause button works as expected.
  • Issue persists across multiple media apps.
  • Restarting the watch and paired device did not resolve the issue.
  • Media control functionality was working properly before the update.

Woooow! So when I contacted support months ago and they told me this wasn't a known issue, they were flat out clueless/lying. Samsung is becoming atrocious

Why in the hell would those clowns remove rewind/fast-forward on a MEDIA APP?  Maybe Korea doesn't have media.

It may be a Wear OS problem as my Pixel Watch also has the same issue. Google is aware of it and said a fix was coming. I don't think the Samsung support has any real idea what is going on.

On Google's issue tracker it says it has just been solved. Does anybody knows how long until it gets to Galaxy watches?
