              I have been having nothing but issues with my phone since the update. I wonder what they plan on doing for those phones that don't work half the time because of this update.

                  First time using a Samsung mobile, this is a S21. Games that require Google Map to play are broken since the update to One UI 4.0. Maps stuck in different place than current location and do not follow updated movement via GPS anymore...
                  Seriously... never had such issues with previous HTCs and Xiaomi mobile phones!!!
                  And my two other Xiaomi phones GPS's with the games are perfectly working!

                                    BUK7, first released on 25 Nov, was a buggy crap. BUK9 and BUKF tried to fix some bugs, but apparently not successfully, so they pulled it altogether. 🤨
                                    Now waiting for an Android 12 upgrade containing Dec 1 security patch looks like a good strategy in retrospect.

                                        Not again. I wonder what will happen to Note 20 Ultra. We are already on Beta 2.0 and there is no sign of next update till now. This beta version is so buggy that feels like a 100$ phone. Worst experience. Even after reporting several times, they didn't acknowledge the issue. They left beta testers in every worste situations.
