After the update my touch screen will not work unless I use the Spen. Samsung made a comment blaming it on Google?? But I've heard from other people it's been an issue for a couple of years so I'm curious on when they plan to fix it because this is ridiculous, I have some apps where I can only log in with my fingerprint.

Solved it myself with help from tutorials at xda developers.

Backup phone, installed odin and downgrade firmware, had to flash full_csc and not home_csc. Restore data from backup. Developer options, do not apply auto updates. And its been working properly, except fingerprint scanner never makes 100%, for over a week.

Nothing to do with Google apps, just Scamsung turning your phone into a paperweight, I've been dedicated to Scamsung, last four phones have been S8+, S10+, S21 ultra and S23 ultra and a Galaxy 5 smartwatch, well this debacle has definitely cost you any more business from me.

Ami always tells me the software update is interrupted, I don't even get one UI 6, that makes me sad in Florida.
