S23 Jan 1 25 security update Verizon

[Willssam2325]

S23 security update:

Release date: 01/21/2025
Android™ Security Patch Level: January 2025
Software Version: UP1A.231005.007.S911USQS5CXL7

Persistent cell signal loss after this patch was installed.

Randomly drops throughout the day, have traveled from West Coast to East Coast and is still a problem. So it isn't just specific to where I live in AZ.

Methods attempted:

Reset Mobile settings

Verizon changed sim card (to which they suggested, I have to continuously turn airplane mode on n off to regain wireless)

Cleaned up apps and data cache

Virus scan phone

Guess next step is factory reset.....

Any thoughts, suggestions?
