Issues after One UI 7.0 update

[Car_Tech_Guy]

I've had so many issues since this update, battery drain is epic, 10% drain in 20 minutes, also icons/fonts smaller and notifications not showing for WhatsApp.

And earlier this evening, apps kept opening then just crashing and shutting, please fix this or I may consider consumer rights action due to unfit for purpose now. 

And........Thats to start with, I think Samsung have really dropped the ball on this one, Samsung if you're listening, please rollback.

Hi @Car_Tech_Guy  Welcome to the Samsung community

Ensure all your apps are up to date.

clearing the cache parition is recommended after updates (particularly major ones) and can help with crashes/freezes.

1. Turn off the device.
2. Connect To Computer , other Device or TV USB, Press and hold the Volume Up key and then press and hold the Power key
3. When the Android logo displays, release both keys.
4. Wait until the Android system recovery menu options appear.
5. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
6. Press Power key to select.
7. Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select.
8. When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
9. Press the Power key to restart the device.

However with the new software there is a Battery learning phase again which can take up to 14 days so there may be an impact. you could reset the Battery stats, dial *#9900#  on the Samsung  phone app with Auto Blocker off, look for Battery stats  Reset and restart Device.

whilst I have known this credits to @lminvti  ,@Moiramon  and @Piper123  who have mentioned this recently.  

A number of customisations can also made with Good Lock https://news.samsung.com/global/exploring-good-lock-%E2%91%A0-the-ultimate-personalization-tool-disc...

There have been a number of threads on these issues.

Hi.
Please perform wipe cache partition after every update. Here is a video on how to do it.

Allow some time for the phone to adapt to the update, it will get better again after a couple of weeks, the AI will take care of this.

First, turn off Auto Blocker then follow these instructions EXACTLY as written

Using the Samsung Phone App (not the Google one)

Dial *#9900# then scroll down to battery stats reset. Click then restart your phone.

Turn Auto Blocker back on

Restart device

Wait 14 days for battery optimisation to complete.

Turn off battery protection as well. I was using battery protection switch on and I noticed too much drain but after turning it off I'm happy now .
