Fix Videos Not Loading in Galaxy S21 after One UI 4.1 update
We have listed three different methods, along with their perks and caveats, that might help you rectify this issue. Go through all these three methods and then try out the one that is in sync with your requirement.
FIX 1: Restart Browser
As soon as you face this issue, close the browser app right away. Likewise, also remove it from the Recent Apps screen as well. Then relaunch the browser and try playing that video again, this time you wouldn’t face any issues. However, do note that this will only temporarily fix the videos not loading issue on your Galaxy S21 running One UI 4.1. The issue might re-appear after a few h0urs to even minutes in some cases.
FIX 2: Restart Device
Another one of those temporary fixes, this method requires you to restart the device whenever you come across this issue. However, as before, it will only give you a momentary respite from this bug as the issue could show itself again after some time.
FIX 3: Downgrade to One UI 4.0/3.1
This method comes with the highest success rate but it comes at a cost- you will have to reset the device and the Knox will be tripped as well. This is because downgrading your device to One UI 3.1 [Android 11] or One UI 4.0 requires an unlocked bootloader. When you do so, you will have to face the aforementioned consequences as well. So if that is well and good, then do check out our guide on How to Downgrade Samsung One UI 4.0 to One UI 3.1 (Android 12 to 11) via Odin.
So with this, we round off the guide on how you could fix the videos not loading issues on your Galaxy S21 device after installing the One UI 4.1 update. We have listed three different methods for the same. As far as the official stance on this matter is concerned, the developers are yet to acknowledge this issue, let alone give out any ETA for the rollout of a fix. As and when any of these two things happen, we will update this guide accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned workarounds are your best bet.
