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

Absolutely amazed that this can be allowed. I ignored this update for a week, thinking that it may mess up my interface, I never expected it to affect functionality.

Why didn't Samsung pull the notifications until it was fixed?

My A14 has now decided to mess about with bluetooth. I did a reset this morning ... Not Factory reset. The general reset where you don't lose any data or settings. This was a few hours ago now and so far, no freezing up. But can't connect bluetooth to my car, which might be a coincidence that the car is no longer compatible with my phone due to a car software/hardware update

Seems an update for one ui7 on A14 was pushed out last night. I've installed and, touch wood, so far so good...

New update today and, so far no freezes. Fingers crossed the latest update has fixed the bug 🙏

My phone completely messed up after this update. I don't know what to do anymore.. I tried all the recommendations or restart/reboot but I can't even switch it back on it shows samsung logo and within seconds it goes off again and just none stop doing it until battery dies.
Anyone had this problem, was you able to do anything about it?
I cant transfer data into another phone now 😒 its S22 Ultra

Not seen an s22 have issues with it yet, but there is something you could try. Shut the phone down. Plug it into a pc using a usb cable, hold volume up and volume down till you see a blue screen. If it's been over 20 seconds then it isn't working. If you can get to that blue screen then you can use smart switch on your computer to do an emergency software recovery. Sadly it will wipe your data
