  • William

this phone has a very serious bug. whenever you i update my phone, it locks me out, it refuses my PIN code, as if the PIN code is wrong. But it still accept my biometric to unlock. the biometric unlock however, won't work if i restart the phone, because it requires PIN code and biometric won't work.

there's a little temporary fix on this however. all i gotta do, is to let the phone completely out of battery to 0%, and then recharge it back, turn it on, and voila, the PIN code is accepted again as if nothing happen. after the PIN code is accepted, it is mandatory to change the PIN to anything else, so it will save the new PIN on flash.

If somehow, you don't save the new PIN, and your phone got restarted, you'll end up get the same BUG again, and re-do the temporary fix i mentioned above.

recently, i found another temporary fix on it. just active REMOTE UNLOCK feature on samsung account. so, when this bug happens, go to samsung website, unlock the phone (remove PIN), and then reset(save) a new PIN again.

this BUG is seriously annoying, making me hesitate to do any new update. there's a new april 2020 update, and i'm just keep ignoring it. i have asked the local samsung store, and they told me some users suffer the same bug on this phone.

anyway, i'm getting a new phone, and it's not samsung anymore, samsung disappointed me.

Lately I haven't seen so many problems like before, but there are still glitches found on almost every brand, especially the Pixel phones.

Ozymandia , 04 Apr 2020By reboot , you mean factory reset or restart ?Hard reset = delete all user data and restore phone to factory settings
Reboot = simple restart (it can also be called soft reset)
Dirty update = when someone installed an os update without making a hard reset first
Hope this helps!

Usually, this will clear most of the bugs and glitches that may occur when making a "dirty" update. Just make sure to backup anything you want saved first!
Also, you can turn off the phone, press Volume Up (NOT Volume Down!!!) + Bixby + Power button (until you see a blue screen), then navigate with the volume buttons to clear cache and press the power button for enter. Then reboot the phone.

I am now more inclined to believe that your battery issues may well have been a result of the March update.

If you have not received the update yet, it shouldn't be too long now and hopefully this will solve the issue. Good luck.

Got update for March last week.
No issues regarding performance and battery drainage.(it wasn't promising earlier too)

  • AlienKiss

Yay! It's April 1st and I already have April 1st security update. I admit that for Samsung this is quite impressive!
I've just rebooted the phone and at first I noticed that the navigation gestures doesn't work too well and the close all button is not there anymore, but after another reboot, the problem is solved.
Advice: after the update is done and the phone just got into Android, let the phone settle for a few minutes. Also, do a reboot after.

Anonymous, 31 Mar 2020i live in SEA and im using model SM-955u , any advice for my s8+ I've yet to see widespread reports of anyone having issues with the latest security update. I would be grateful if some one would show me some evidence out there that there is an issue with the latest update.

I updated to the latest patch and have not had any issues at all. I'm not dismissing people that have had issues entirely but I am certainly not going to be convinced and say that it is a fact that the update is responsible without seeing any real evidence .... as it there could be a.multitude of reasons for experiencing battery draining issues and it would be unwise to draw conclusions from seeing a just a couple of people on gsmarena that claim to have issues since updating.

This is just my opinion obviously.
