Potential fixes for one ui 7 issues

[arianwen27]

Heyo, it seems there's quite a few bugs with the release of one ui 7 on lower end A series devices. I've been handed an A14 with similar issues, found a few fixes.

Unable to answer phone calls or unlock the device:

Hold the power button and volume down for around 7 seconds or till the phone turns off. This should force reboot it and fix it for a while. Ideally set your phone to auto reboot daily.

Lock screen notifications missing:

Settings, notifications, lock screen notifications. Make sure "cards" is selected.

Smart switch and usb connection issues:

Connect the phone to a computer via USB, reboot the phone. On loading back up, the usb connection will work. Disconnecting it will requre another reboot for it to connect again.

Yes the update is buggy, all we can really do is wait for a fix to be released

Thanks for the workarounds compilation! Hopefully fix will be released soon

certainly the workarounds will be  useful,  a number will not have tried all of them.  The USB connection issue seems troublesome, hopefully a fix on the way.  Do not currently have an applicable  A Device to check if any issues though know some are  fine.

How do you set auto reboot.

[arianwen27]

Settings, device care, auto optimisation, auto restart. Set it to every day and at a time you won't be using your phone

Thanks, this phone now is driving me mad !! Now it takes forever to end a phone call. That wasn't happening before? Sent 5 error reports and nothing/ no one has come back to me....

Really? They keep telling ne on twitter that they don't know of any problems with the upgrade....

Restart is enough (in stead of reboot) while connection the phone to the computer. But still, disconnect will result in the same problem and a new restart will be necessary. Let's hope for a quick fix

My phone is continually freezing up since this update. I can't answer phone calls on a regular basis. I contacted Samsung support yesterday and thought it was Alexa messing it up but since uninstalling Alexa, it still happens. Worse update ever!! Get your act together Samsung.

I just phoned them and got nonsense answer! They don't believe us that they caused this!
