One UI 7 update messed up my phone.

It's been almost 2 weeks, and I've tried every possible troubleshooting method/ work around, hack or trick. The only thing I haven't done is uninstall the new update or a complete device reset.  Wanted to be thorough before posting. First 3 days everything was normal except I did noticed an increase the battery drain. 4th day onwards was the equivalent of walking blindfolded through a minefield. Touch screen is a Russian roulette game, previous customizations with apps no longer work or have reset,  i spent days setting my preferences in each app and installing certain features for enhanced performance, frame rate, background usage, etc and now it's all *****. Main issues that i could not fix or can't delete because it's vital is overheating very fast,multiple crashes and freezes in certain apps,  phone brightness now has issues with certain themes/wallpapers that make the screen darker with no way to enhance, certain games lag or just close mid game regardless of updating performance (even went through developer app) battery life is non existent, screen resolution and display size vary with different apps, some can't be resized to fit at all and if you try to x out of an additional or drag down menu or access split screen it will crash or automatically switch to multi screen view in landscape mode. Android auto is 50/50. AI voice activation/ talk to text is glitching, calls and notifications are sometimes muted or don't register, fingerprint biometrics sometimes doesn't register or won't unlock,  every attempt to use device health or optimization says everything is perfect. Device care and battery usage not registering any problems and soft reset didn't solve anything.

 

there's a lot more but i honestly feel like a whiny child complaining as it is and I don't like posting negative comments or issues but i hope this helps others and can be informative.

I also have issues after one iu7 update, battery drains to quickly, I have a game that won't load.  Is samsung going to release a fix for all these issues?  I certainly hope so!!!

I downloaded this update a few days ago and really really wish I hadn't. I have a lot of the same issues, swipe to text is way off and give me random words, battery drains very quickly, notifications are just hit and miss, I have ALL notification settings turned on, but sometimes they will pop up on my scene, other times I have to go looking and the worst one I discovered this morning (and many others have had the same issue) is my camera now takes terrible blurry photos and some functions in 'pro' mode do not work at all (the scene just goes black).

We won't even mention the horrible battery percentage bean thing and the massive volume thing that takes over half the screen when you change volume.... 

Did Samsung not test this update at all before rolling it out! I'm guessing they let the work experience kid write the program!

Mine was the same with UI7, factory reset out of desperation still had battery drain, overheating and not charging issues. Just more or less got my apps sorted and a patch rolled in which solved everything else

One ui7 has destroyed my fingerprint sensor on my s24 ultra. Going to an apple phone seems the only fix as samsung will take months to release an update again

I have the same issue with my samsung 23 ultra. Nothing works except emergency calls only.. I've done everything, even a factory reset. I've resulted in going back to my Samsung 21 ultra.. this is now requesting an update to the ui7, which I will not do.. I even called samsung and my network provider.. might as well have not bothered.. I'm glad to know I am not alone.. I think it's time for me to move away from samsungs and try something else..
