Hi there,
I decided to update everything, including the Jan 1st security update, after learning that you receive a notification when your microphone or camera is used. The updates caused my phone to crash, and there are bugs everywhere. Here are some examples:
Notifications should be displayed in bank apps
YouTube music and the YouTube app consistently crash or don't work
I need to cancel my Google Play Store subscription since it expired 10 minutes ago
There is a lot of lag and sluggishness with Google Chrome
When my internet connection is down while I'm locked out of WhatsApp, I don't receive notifications until I open the app and unlock my phone.
Never sleep does not have any apps available for addition.
The situation has been a complete mess. In addition to trying all the apps and generic solutions, including cleaning the cache/data, logging, and restarting several times in Safe Mode, the problem has occurred multiple times. Everything has been tried. I cannot reinstall these apps since they came with the device. All settings related to unrestricted background usage, for instance, were browsed through. Since I have a lot of authenticators (personal and work) and the banking app, I cannot do a factory reset. According to what I understand, I am not the only one experiencing issues following this update, so a fix should be released as soon as possible. After an update, a factory reset may not work. These issues may be caused by Samsung's latest software update, so Google or Samsung should be notified.
