2025 May security Update Issues Continue

The May 2025 security update continues to cause issues on my Galaxy S21 Galaxy S21 5G with touch sensitivity and ability to access the  swipe down panel to accss brightness, Bluetooth.   It is impossible.to try past Notifications now... minimally all notifications have to be cleared in order to proceed, and even that doesnt work at time.  It is extremely frustrating and as Ive said in prior post, coukd be a safety issue for both reasons.   There's are times it takes 20 attempts to get to, then suddenly it works, and theres no apparent reason why it worked that time. 

 

Additionally, it has now become nearly impossible to power or restart my Android.  I used to be able.to easily do this with the side buttons, not all that comes up Gemini.  Please return to allowing a more efficient and simplenway to turn off; this is an issue where phones must be turned off quickly...its impossible to do.

 

Likewise, something changed with the camera. The settings button is not in one obvious location as it once was, and its harder to get in and out of the phone zoom sections; to return to main screen or get zoom to go smaller.  Again, very frustrating. 

For the record, I have never made a complaint on any Android update.  In fact, I usually emphasize how the updates are not impactful the way phones were every time.  

Please fix these issues.  They are important for various reasons.

Thank you for yiur help, I went in and made the change to the power on off option.   And I can see the benefit of the camera change; in the moment of taking pics.... the new location of settings wasnt sticking out to me!  

 

Thanks again!

You can change the side button operation to work exactly like it use to. Just go to Settings>Advanced features>Side button and change the long press option.

The camera consolidated all the options to the bottom of the screen so it's much easier to use 1 handed. It does take a little time adjusting, but I feel it's a much better experience now. Far less cluttered options around the screen and easy access to adjust most of the settings.

You may have conflicted apps on your phone. If you ad an app and then give it permission over the phones running software. You will get some sort of conflict. If not that, you may have spywear, or something like a virus. Hope that helps.
