I absolutely hate the upgrade. My phone sounds tinny. It is slow. For the first time I am seriously thinking of changing to an IPhone. I wish my phone never upgraded. Also when I take pictures I have to go to photo editor so that they are facing in the correct direction. Not happy.

                  Was looking forward to this update, hopefully to resolve the same problems as everyone else, overheating and mega battery drain, well it now seems to be worse that ever! Just lost another customer I think, absolute rubbish.

                      Got the latest update yesterday evening. Today my phone is taking FOREVER to charge, and charges with a net negative, even when not in use!

                      Before the update, I was able to charge my phone from 7% to 100% in around a half-hour (using airplane mode and fast-charging), but now I lose 1% every ten minutes while connected to a charger. For some odd reason, my battery did retain its charge a bit better throughout the day up until it hit the 20% mark.

                      They really need to get on this.

                        I have been a loyal Samsung Customer for years...but I am so sick of the battery issues. Since the update my battery life has decreased rapidly and is taking much longer to charge. Why does this happen after an update? My husband has an IPhone and he constantly tells me to switch from Samsung. If the battery issue doesn't get resolved, I may have to do so.

                                The last 2 samsung updates to my s6 caused me a problem each time! First my text notification kept going off and would not stop. Had to power phone off til I could get it fixed. Then the current update not only locked my voice-mail requiring pass code (which I never set up) then it removes my voice mailbox all together.

                                    Coming from Reddit, the problem lies in the Oculus App. It keeps reinstalling itself causing this huge battery drain and CPU usage. You should remove everything related to Samsung VR and any Oculus Apps.
