Please fix the battery drain. It's not learning my usage, and I've wiped the cache partition and so on. This issue can only be fixed with an update like Samsung pushed out for the S24 and S25 series. That said, short of a few bugs and missing the hidden widget screen when tapping the lock screen clock, I'm digging this. Sure there's a few learning curves but that's to be expected when you get an overhaul like this. Fix the battery drain and this will be as exciting as when we switched from TouchWiz IMO. That's my thoughts for now. Cheers! S22U.

Sorry you're experiencing the dreaded battery drain. Please see this post for some things you may not have tried yet (at the end of the post):

Yup, I'm fully aware. Just posted so that it is seen from an S22U user. It's still a great update feature wise, imo. Cheers.

After this upgrade, battery drain and now wifi randomly disconnect and reconnect when on home wifi, at work when trying to connect to wifi after entering password it does not connect, it doesnt do anything at all, lol. On my personal Android tablet no issues since I did not upgrade that device. Thank goodness I have my work cell because my personal s22 ultra is not worth using now. Diagnostic shows no issues. Honestly after the last minute notification ending TD financing that cause my credit score to drop, and now with these other issues I am now looking into the new red magic phones. To petition the government about bad cell phone upgrades, you can contact the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or your state's consumer protection office. The FCC regulates telecommunications, including cell phones, and can investigate complaints about unfair or deceptive practices.

That sounds familiar. I have the zfold4 and it is NOW absolutely garbage. It was fine before. Now I can't even connect to my computer to transfer files and factory reset my phone.

I've been looking at sonys but I'll have to check out these red phones you're referring to

Ever since I downloaded the One UI 7 my phone has become useless. Major battery drain. Starting up the the phone I have to wait for it to complete its loop. Then screen flashes then it starts up. Outlook mail is not compatible with One UI 7. How can you rollout new software and have all this happen. Does apple have these problems.

Outlook Mail is compatible with One UI 7. I have no issues thus far. What is not working, for you, with it on your phone?

When I open Outlook the screen flickers. Now I have a new problem when I wake the phone up the screen also flickers. Never had this problem before.

Can't open PDF attachments. When I open the Outlook app it goes into a loop and then the screen flashes.
