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

The battery drain is still present under UI 6.1 (Fold 5). 😐

Try a soft reset. Hold power and volume down button. Keep them pressed until your phone restarts, and you see the samsung logo appear then release the buttons, this fixes a lot of glitches. Hope this helps

Ive been having issues with the update myself. For me it's been that my wifi and Bluetooth just don't want to turn on or if they do, it can't find anything. It's like it's stuck on airplane mode or something and I've tried everything short of a factory reset. 

After 2 days of this I finally got my wifi to work by turning off my phone and just leaving it off for several minutes and my bluetooth seems to be, recovering? It's now detecting my watch and earbuds but it's still cutting out every now and again. I still need to test it with the radio on my cat to see it wants to pair to that again

I can't personalise notification sounds on some apps.  The option is missing.  I have a S21 as well and when I compare the 2 phones the option is gone on messages and ring.  Everything just has the default tone which is not helpful.

@Members_Iyd9L4f: Please head to Settings > Notifications > Advanced settings > Manage notification categories for each app, and toggle this option on. Now, tap the Back button > App notifications > Select an app, and 'Notification categories' will be available for selection, allowing you to assign bespoke notification sounds to each category.

My Samsung a23 after update to one UI 6.0: 

1. Camera Results Degraded

2. Signal strength worse

3. Performance slower (some app lagging)

My WiFi will not get past the "turning on" prompt and my Bluetooth drops connection to me headphones, watch and truck more frequently.

If my networks play up a lot I go into settings and reset network settings to reconnect everything which often resolves a lot of connectivity problems. Also a soft reset resolves a lit of glitches. Hope this helps

Try a soft reset as it can clear a lot of glitches
