Galaxy S20 - Phone's been having problems after Android 12 update

Hello,

I've been experiencing various problems since I updated my S20 to Android 12 last week. The phone randomly restarts itself all of a sudden, happened to me twice just by turning on flashlight or while scrolling social media. There are also cases where after the phone auto-restarts itself it doesn't let me into my locked app folder even with the right password, the only way to bypass this is by restarting the phone myself and then it works just fine with the same password it just declined. I've tried cleaning cache, just generally restarting the phone, and re-installing apps (Instagram for example logs me out every few hours out of my accounts). Did anyone else experience these issues? Have you found some solution? Will there be some hotfix?

Yeah my banking apps have no biometrics now occasionally it will pop up and I've just checked the secure folder and it done the same thing as you said incorrect pin then accepted the same pin
Hopefully Samsung do something about this ASAP as its not right...

It is pure pain, mine restarted just now back to back just because I opened my Gallery and then went into multitasking. I had hoped someone from Samsung would already reply to this thread and acknowledge the 'gravity' of the situation but seems like that's not the reality.

I had this as well and none of my issues fixed. Today the phone restarted again when I was trying to open an Instagram notification...

Good. For me they suggested a factory reset of course. Keep up updated!
