Good Lock allows Galaxy users to modify much of their experience, from adding custom styles and animations to notifications to adjusting the layout and spacing of tiles in Quick Settings, according to Android Authority. The widget text problem is tied to Home Up, a Good Lock module that lets users reposition apps anywhere on the screen, resize widgets and make other layout changes. A user explained that when they reduce the size of icons and widgets, the text scales down proportionally, Android Authority reported. The text can become so small that it is unreadable. Samsung has said it is looking for ways to solve the problem, but the report did not say when a fix would be released.

The Good Lock team also confirmed a second bug involving volume levels. Android Authority reported that the Quick Settings panel and the volume panel can display different volume levels. The report did not say whether the team has identified the cause or when a fix might arrive.

Separately, Galaxy phone users are reporting a glitch in the volume panel that affects the icon shown at the bottom of the slider. Android Authority reported that when audio is playing through the phone's speakers, a Bluetooth icon appears at the bottom of the slider. That icon suggests the phone is connected to a Bluetooth device even though it is disconnected, the report said. Users also reported seeing a speaker icon instead of an earbud icon when earbuds are connected.

The volume slider normally conveys more than the volume level. Android Authority said the symbol at the bottom of the panel lets users know what the phone is connected to, whether they are listening through earbuds or Bluetooth speakers. The report did not say whether Samsung has acknowledged or fixed the Bluetooth icon issue. Both reports were published by Android Authority on October 14, 2026.

Editor's Summary

Samsung's Good Lock team has confirmed a volume-level display bug and is investigating a widget text-size issue that can make text illegible when widgets and icons are resized. Separately, Galaxy users report a volume-panel glitch that displays a Bluetooth icon when playing through speakers and a speaker icon when earbuds are connected. The reports, published by Android Authority on October 14, 2026, did not include fix timelines for the Bluetooth icon issue or the confirmed volume-level bug.
