The last two security updates for the S22+ in the UK have completely ruined my experience with this device.
I've only had this phone for just over a month, bought directly from Samsung, after six years using One Plus'.
Septembers update I installed about 10 days ago reset all my online banking and contactless apps, and none of them afterwards would allow me to reanable those features, saying that the device did not have the property security features anymore. It also messed up by S Health app, signed me out and wouldn't let me get back into it (spinning wheel for hours when I allowed permissions).
Last night I installed the October update hoping that it would fix the previous issues and that all would be well.
Now I can no longer even get past the draw pattern page when I start the phone up (my lockscreen's also been reset as happened in the previous update). All it now does is go black and reset to the draw pattern page after each attempt and there's no way around it.
I can't use the recovery mode/wipe cache options, I can't unlock it remotely, so now I've been given no option but to send it off for a repair, which could end up costing me for whatever reason they potentially find that they can blame me for.
I haven't dropped or mishandled the device at any point, the phone worked perfectly normally before I installed both updates and didn't after I had installed it. I can't even use SmartSwitch to back up all my information because of some sort of MTP function that I need to enable on the very phone that I can't get access to. And now all my data will be wiped with the repair.
Great stuff.
Great updates.
GG Samsung.
