The February update for the Galaxy S23 Ultra seems to have introduced instability. I've noticed slower charging speeds, both while using the device and when it's idle. The device also overheats significantly during charging, regardless of usage. I hope Samsung will address these issues.

Yes , this is not a fault but it's manufactured error. Samsung fingerprint sensor not the best and have to store multiple fingerprints in it's memory then only it works.

Dear team, thank you for providing the system guidelines. I am familiar with these instructions, as they are similar to those provided by other mobile companies. My handset is in excellent condition, and I am using the Samsung charger provided by the company (for an additional cost, similar to Apple). Therefore, I would appreciate it if you would investigate the February software update to identify the issue. I believe that many user problems stem from company system updates.
