Battery draining, apps lagging, and sometimes it blinks on/off when trying to unlock

[chibi-des]

Since the update my phones battery isn't lasting and I've had issues where apps are lagging now, I've also been having an issue where I go to unlock my phone but then it just starts blinking on and off I can't stop it nor unlock my phone so I have to Force Restart my phone everytime it's happened more than 4 times now I'm ready for the old update back please.

Wipe your Cache Partition.
My wife's S23 ultra was having the same exact issue. I did the Partition and it helped tremendously.

Do you mean Wipe cache partition from the Android Recovery screen? I can give that a try, I'm having a similar issue

@chibi-des As the others have mentioned, did you wipe the device cache partition after the update? I recommend that you do this after every device update. It wipes out incompatible or outdated cache information which might be incompatible after the update. It does not erase any user data nor applications.

To wipe the device cache partition:

1. Power off your device.
2. Power up while holding down the Volume up key and the Side key until the Samsung logo appears. 
3. An Android recovery menu will appear.
4. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Wipe cache partition.
5. Click the side key to select it.
6. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Yes. 
7. Click the side key to select it. The Cache will be wiped almost instantaneously. 
8. Click the side key to select "Reboot system now"

Ok I cleared the cache as suggested it seemed better maybe for a day but now it's doing the blinking thing more frequently ☹️

The same is happening to me over and over all day and stopping me from running my business. I have a new Zflip that was only purchased a few months ago and this NEVER HAPPENED (Blinking on/off and forcing me to restart in safe mode). This started IMMEDIATELY following the latest update. Samsung needs to cop to this update failure & give us the option to roll back the DOWNdate until the fix these issues.
