Since UI7 update...battery draining faster, contacts disappearing/reappearing

[BillyGalaxyS10Tab]

My Galaxy Tab seems to be slower, battery drains faster, I can no longer get setting when I swipe down from the home screen.....I now have to go into my apps to find settings..

My contacts get deleted and then they magically reappear again...

I'm afraid to ask but does anyone know when UI8 will be here?

You have to swipe down from the right side of the screen to get to the settings.  If you swipe down far enough, you will get to the edit pencil to put the quick panel and notification panel back together.

Your contacts should have backed up to Google, so make sure the contacts app is pointing to "all contacts" and all storage locations are selected.

I did that but all I get is notification.....Before when I swiped down I got both notification and a setting icon to where I could go into system settings that is not there anymore.

It's been a while since I got the update and put the panels back together, but put the panels back together first.  Swipe down on the right side til you see the edit pencil, tap the edit pencil, then look for the panel settings window on the upper left.  Tap that and select "together".  Your panels will now be back together and you should see settings gear.

Did you clear device cache after updating?

Make sure the "swipe down" option is toggled in home screen settings.
