Issues since July update - flickering videos and images, battery drain

[Benandaj65]

Hi all

Since the latest update I'm having a few issues with my Samsung A50. The worst one (almost making the phone unusable) is if I click on a video link, it will connect and start to play but then it goes black and continues to flicker in black and white across the whole screen. Sometimes if I back out and go back in a few times it will clear up, and become viewable, but not always. I can hear some sound at the beginning but that stops too.

I have also noticed:

significantly faster battery drain,

occasionally the call will drop and also

the mic will stop working mid call for no reason.I can still hear them, but they can't hear me.

Help! And instructions in plain language please.

Cheers
