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.

Have you wiped the system cache partition after the update?

To answer your questions, yes Apple has problems with third party software after updates, this is not an Android iOS, Windows, Mac O/S or Linux exclusive issue.

Ever since installing the update I can't use the camera application, it just crashes with "camera failed" message. I have had to install a different app just to take photos. I also get some flashing of the screen on Samsung mail. I have cleared the cahe but nothing appears to work. I really don't want to have to reset the phone - any ideas?

I have tried everything from clearing the partition cache to resetting back to factory reset. Nothing works. I have a flashing of the screen also with a question mark. Then, the phone goes into a loop. It's very frustrating.
