Samsung One UI 7 Update Making Some Galaxy Phones Unusable: Know More
Last Updated:
Samsung's One UI 7 update has caused battery drain issues earlier and now some users are finding their phone unusable.
Samsung has faced a lot of issues with the One UI 7 update in the last few months. The delays have been long, but users have finally got the new version. However, the One UI 7 update has made some devices unusable and most of the Galaxy phone users are not sure what is causing the problem.
And the bigger news is that the model affected by the One UI 7 issue had launched recently and came with the new OS out of the box. People in Europe using the Galaxy A56 model have faced bootloop issues, which makes the phone unusable in the boot up process. The new One UI 7 update for these users has not given them a lot of new features but a new headache has come to their fore.
The Galaxy A56 users in Europe got a new update with the May 2025 security patch recently. One of the features available with the version was the ability to long-press the side button to activate the Gemini assistant.
And that's where the problem seems to have started for these users. Most of these Galaxy A56 units have been stuck in the boot mode and not starting after installing the new update, the users have mentioned the issues on Samsung community forums as well. The issue seems to be limited to the European version for now, and the other regions where the Galaxy A56 got the update have not faced the bootloop problem with their devices.
So, how does one fix the issue? One user seems to have found the solution, who claims you just have to:
Samsung has been slow with the Android 15-based One UI 7 rollout this year but the company is looking to amends with the Android 16 update. Reports in South Korea claim Samsung is ready to start the Android 16 beta program which will give us a closer look at the One UI 8 version.
The company has already confirmed the Android 16 rollout timeline for its users and unlike the One UI 7, the new version will be rolling out by Summer 2025.

Google Gemini Can Now Summarise Drive Videos with AI-Powered Insights
Google is bringing more convenience to Workspace and Google Drive users with its Gemini AI, now able to summarise video content. The feature, which previously focused on documents and PDFs, is expanding to videos saved in Google Drive, allowing users to gain quick insights without needing to watch complete recordings. Through a chatbot interface, Gemini can provide video summaries or answer specific questions based on the footage. For instance, it can list action items from a recorded meeting or highlight key announcements, making it easier for users to extract relevant information efficiently. This could be especially helpful for professionals managing long video recordings or product briefings. To use this functionality, captions must be enabled on the video files. The summaries are accessible via the overlay preview in Drive or in a new browser tab. Currently, this feature is available in English for Google Workspace and Google One AI Premium users, including those with Gemini Business or Enterprise add-ons. Google notes it may take a few weeks for the rollout to reach all users. Additionally, Google is enhancing video analytics within Drive. The Drive video player now includes engagement data, showing how often a video has been opened, visible under the Analytics section in the Details panel. This update gives users better insight into how their content is being viewed and shared.

Gemini can now watch and analyse videos in Google Drive
Google has said that their Gemini AI can now watch and analyse videos in Google Drive to offer insights to users. Gemini was already integrated in Drive and could summarise documents or folders and gather and analyse data. In case users have missed a recorded meeting, they can ask Gemini to highlight the important cliff notes from it instead of watching the entire video. The tool works based on Google's auto-generated video captions and is accessible only from the Gemini overlay in Drive or in the standalone Drive file viewer. But if the Google Workspace account is managed, the admin could have disabled automatic captioning. If Gemini still doesn't understand the captions, users will need to go to the Manage Caption Tracks setting to generate them. The feature is also available for Google One AI Premium users and will be gradually rolled out to Gemini Business or Enterprise add-ons subscribers.
