One UI 6 Issues

[PaulC59]

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed any negative issues since the One UI 6 update?

Main changes I have noticed as follows, I'll update as and when I come across any more

Battery

Battery drains much quicker

Fast charge has stopped working on non Samsung chargers

Browsing

Getting a lot of errors loading webpages or blank pages and some dead links in pages. My default was Chrome so I changed it to Samsung Internet but no improvement

Networking

My signal strength seems lower and the phone has more issues connecting to certain Bluetooth devices e.g sumup card reader etc ad-hoc i.e occasionally it's ok

I've noticed maintaining network connections as an issue a while ago even on the S22u but lower network strength is recent as the signal was always stronger on the S23u compared to others

I've given up on the NFC with my sumup app i.e scanning the card on the phone instead of the card reader. This was a really useful feature and worked flawlessly for a while but since a few updates is very rarely successful and returns errors reading card which gets embarrassing when stood with a client also with the S23u you need to reconnect the card reader quite frequently as the phone stops finding the reader. This never happened with the A54 5g I was running side by side with the S23u with the same software set up and reinforces suspicions around the S23u network connection consistency

Notifications

I did have a period of notifications just disappearing when you click to read them but been ok for a while

Apps

I have noticed apps sometimes close unexpectedly when changing focus to another app but not all apps e.g happens a lot when in settings but other apps seem to be ok

I've noticed a lot more apps continue running in background after they have been closed. It used to be one or two and since the update it seems to average 5 or 6

Camera

When editing photos (Cropping) there is an irritating delay between adjustments which if you don't wait between adjustments causes you to move the image and have to start over, really irritating 

There are probably other little niddles I haven't noticed yet or forgot as I'm often out and about when I notice.

I've already done the cache wipe, reset networks etc

I recently got an A54 5g to try out for a work phone which seems to out perform my S23u on the basic stuff such as maintaining network and connecting to devices etc, which suggests to me that the extra functions and components in high end phones may cause additional challenges

I personally think the update process itself causes issues. I say this because whenever I get a new phone or do a factory reset regardless as to the software version the phones usually run like a dream and the glitches only tend to start as the OS or certain apps update. I wonder if the bug testers are testing updates on fresh installs only so may be missing some updating errors/glitches

I certainly don't intend doing a factory reset and fresh app installs after every OS update, that would be a nightmare as it's a major undertaking

Just some things I've noticed and thoughts

Yes I've noticed it keeps changing settings. Mine keeps turning my anti virus protection off in bit defender and I have to keep switching it back on. I think it's battery saving feature doing this

On my Galaxy Tab S7 FE trying to use the S Pen doesn't bring up/display the keyboard. I have to use my finger in a field (like this one) to display the keyboard and can then use the S Pen to type. Before the update, tapping with the S Pen in a text field would cause the keyboard to display. Very, very annoying.

Since the latest update my galaxy a52 cannot play UHD videos. I don't know if I am the only one having this issue

I've had an update yesterday on my Samsung M32 & my haptic response on my keyboard has changed as well as the recent apps button is just not working. This is the most irritating as I can't switch between apps anymore. Also when I leave one I don't know if its still running in the background and therefore draining my battery....has anyone else had this problem.?

[PaulC59]

Have you tried doing a soft reset? That usually fixes a lot of glitches

[RORo24]

Thanks Paul I'll give it a go

[PaulC59]

Also it's worth downloading the samsung good guardians app and run the app booster after updates as it resets and optimises your apps. Hope this helps

[RORo24]

The reset has worked ! But device still appears slow to respond to input, I'll check out that app and se3 if it resolves things. Thanks again. I hope your issues get resolved.

My screen won't respond to touch at all. I can only use my phone with my S pen. I've cleared cache, restarted it and kept it turned off overnight and it's still the same. Don't know what else to try

I find this happens to me now on my S22 Ultra after the UI6 update, when it never happened before.   I've noticed that most of the time it's just in the active app, that I can go to the homescreen and swipe closed the offending app, but once this happens, it seems to stay buggy.  I have to restart to clear the issue.  So it's not completely frozen, but until a reboot it isn't "right."  I haven't rebooted my phone so often since I got it a couple of years ago.  Definitely the update.  I haven't cleared the cache but will.
