[Galaxy S22] Can't Turn off My Phone after Update

[mwr1]

My S22 updated this morning. Settings says it's now running Android 15 and One UI 7.0. After the update, when I press and hold the lower button on the right side of the phone (which always turned off the phone), now I get an "Ask Gemini" window. I've held the button down for a LONG time and the phone still won't turn off. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found a way to turn off your phone?

The update still goes to your carrier and they must upload it to their update server before you can get it.

I was about to ask the same thing. I'm on the US Factory Unlocked S22+(SM-S906U1) and still no update yet.

Just a comment to say how much I HATE the new UI. For example, on the first screen you see it used to display the time as HH:MM the way we're used to seeing it. Now it displays HH and MM separately, the HH above the MM. And they actually paid someone to do that.

Ya,it's horrible. I assume they intentionally meant to ruin these phones to force people to upgrade.

I found a way to change the clock format back to the way it was. It's in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbRkyPOaahk
