I did see that section, I just don't have time to deal with that at the moment.
I would need to take apart my phone and get a special cable for it, and I don't have that skill for it. I'm still mad that Samsung didn't fix this problem before the phone bricked. They knew about it for a few weeks and still will send it out to be repaired by someone else for a high price.

I raised complaint at Samsung customer care online. They shared waybill and repair the device. I have received my device. It's working now without losing any data.

I called Samsung customer care in Montreal last week and they said they were not aware of any recent problems related to A23 models and they can't do anything to fix international models. Yesterday I finished to learn how to open a cellphone to make a testpoint and repair it by myself.
Very proud of me but very disappointed to Samsung, thanks for nothing..

Congratulations on being able to fix your phone yourself. I also got no help at all when I called Samsung customer care. However, Samsung's online chat personnel finally arranged for my repair.

This just happened to me. IMMEDIATELY after installing the UIOne 6.1 on my A23, the battery drained to 2%. When I tried to plug in the charger it gave the statement "this charger is not compatible with the phone" even though I've been using that same charger for over a year (since I bought this terrible excuse for a phone). When I unplugged the charger, the charging tip was hot and I could smell a burnt smell. The phone hit 0% and powered off. Now I'm holding a cold brick with my life on it and I'm p****d.
Have there been any solutions found that are legit? What is the Samsung position. It looks like they are ignoring it. If so, it's unethical and it needs to be dealt with through a Class Action. If they have agreed to take responsibility, please let me know.
Are there

Has anyone reached out to them on this? If so, what was the response?

@dwbtoronto: I'm sorry to hear that you have encountered this issue? Can you confirm if you are using the USB cable that came packaged with the phone, along with an official Samsung 25W plug adapter? If so, do you have access to a home computer that you can connect your A23 5G to, to see if you're able to establish a charge in this manner?
If you're able to charge and power on the device, please use it as you would normally until it reaches around 30%, then check Settings > Device care > Battery > Tap on the usage graph, and check to see which apps and features are causing the battery to drain so rapidly.
If you find that Intune Company Portal is causing a higher then expected amount of battery drainage, then please ensure that the app is up to date via the Google Play Store. The following actions can be also be attempted to improve the situation by deleting the data and cache from the Data Restore Tool and the Google Play services app, then deleting your work profile account and restarting the phone.
1. Settings > Apps > tap Sort by(Filter and sort) > enable ‘Show system apps’ > tap ‘OK’ to apply
2. Settings > Apps > Data Restore Tool > Storage > tap Clear data/Clear cache
3. Settings > Apps > Google Play services > Storage > tap Clear data/Clear cache
4. Delete work profile account (delete account registered in Intune Company Portal app)
– Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage accounts > Delete the account or go to Intune Company Portal app > Log out of the account
5. Restart phone
→ If you re-register your account after taking measures 1~4 the phenomenon may occur again. Therefore, keep your account deleted while not using the Intune Company Portal app. The issue can also be caused by the MS Authenticator app. Microsoft are aware of the issue, and are working on releasing a hotfix via an app update as soon as possible.
