I installed it araround 8 Dec and since then my phone isn't responding quick enough. If I turn on my data or Wi-Fi the phone struggles to pop up my keyboard so I can type a message. I set on eye comfort for Apps like WhatsApp, Facebook and X but now I can remain in that state in every application I'm in or it just closes any of those apps by itself. You try to open again then It closes again. Most importantly now it's not ringing at all, I'm missing important calls ,whether the phone is in my pocket or on the table the phone won't ring or it'll choose when to ring cause it rings sometimes. I really don't know what to do, thinking of formatting it but I'm worried about losing my personal data

I've also experienced the same stuff and I can safely tell you that don't even bother factory resetting - the whole update build is faulty. You can either wait for a patch, go to samsung for a new software flash or do what I did and find a good second hand phone in the meantime (A34's are going for super cheap if you know where to look).

Hahaha where's that, I'm screwed.
Why would they do that to us though, isn't that the next version will be out on February?

Apparently the December fixed the crashing issues caused by the ram management, you should expect it soon depending on the roll out but one can't say for certain

I honestly don't know what is happening. Even Samsung didn't send the update as yet.

Not even sure anymore. Their shouldn't be a big delay between the release of the update between different countries. I thought the A15 and A16 I checked on was the South African version, but check I am hoping for tomorrow.
