My Note 10+ just got Android 11 / UI 3.0 and what a mess it is.  After taking 30-minutes to upgrade/update (including all of the apps via Galaxy Store and GoodLock tweaks which had to be done manually), the more I use it, the more problems I see.

 

Yes, I have updated *ALL* apps via Google Play or Samsung or independent (i.e. require updates once you launch them).  Yes, I have restarted the Note 10+ a couple of times since the upgrade (it was eating up my battery after the first reboot).

 

I have been using Nova Launcher Pro/Premium for many, many years on all of my Note phones (since Note 3) with no issues.  Now with 11/UI 3.0, almost every time I either launch/close an app, or use the Task Changer (Good Lock Task Changer is disabled since it isn't compatible with UI 3, yet) to switch/close things, it reverts to the Samsung Launcher and I have to manually re-launch Nova!  Yes, I checked the Nova settings and it IS the default launcher. What gives?

 

Another issue is the all around slowness of lots of apps - a big example is Google Photos.  I am in Google Photos all-day-long since it is where I share/post photos from to other apps like MeWe.  Now, everything I do in Google Photos takes 10-15 seconds to respond.  Click on Search - wait.....Click on Share - wait......   This used to be instantaneous until 11/UI 3.0? 

 

FWIW, I am on a Netgear Orbi network using WiFi 6 and gigabit Fios, so networking speed is not an issue!

i have a strong feeling that samsung is trying to adopt the apple strategy of ruining older flagships on purpose so we get rid of it in disgust & buy the newer flagships.what they don't realize is that there are more than enough of fish in the sea.so many other manufacturers who are providing way better stuff than samsung for half the **bleep** price.if this continues,my loyalty towards samsung will end soon!

last morning i visited the the authorized samsung service centre.they flashed the firmware they had,apparently without any bugs.a clean,fresh installation was done by them.i observed the phone for an hour & was horrid to see that the same issue were still existed even after their job.complete waste of time & money.what next now?samsung developers must be fast asleep even after so many customers complaining about it on different forums worldwide.regret updating such a beautiful device to the android 11 one ui 3.0.total disaster!
