New Update broke my S25

[Krypt]

As the title suggests, or should I say, exaggerates, after the new security update, my S25 has gone to complete **bleep**. Basic features are lagging now. Wifi doesn't work properly, and to double check, I did try other devices. The issue is not with the internet speed. Camera is lagging so much. Apps become unresponsive. It's almost like I'm using a mid-tier phone. I really don't understand what's going on. This was supposed to be a good phone. But it's not. It's making me miss my S23.

Get your phone replaced under warranty. Looks like a defective device. BTW why you decided to upgrade from S23?

I bought my S23 in 2023. I thought I was upgrading to a new and improved version. Plus it has snapdragon. So at the time, it made sense.

[Tech_xplorer]

Makes sense. I hope your phone is under warranty, push service centre to replace it for free. IMO you could have waited until S23 gets its last major update atleast. Because S25 has identical camera, similar battery and screen except processor, RAM and out of box one ui 7. I will wait and see what s27 will have to offer. I hope Samsung will improve the battery capacity using lithium silicon batteries and upgrade the years old camera sensors. If not then will look for another brand.

Even my s23 running smoothly on one ui 7 beta 2

Lucky you man.

It sounds incredibly frustrating to deal with performance issues after an update, especially on a premium device like the Samsung Galaxy S25. Based on your description, the recent security update seems to have caused significant issues with core features, which is definitely not what you'd expect from a flagship phone.

Here are some possible reasons and solutions for the problems you're facing:

1. Post-Update Bugs or Glitches Software updates, particularly security patches, can sometimes cause unexpected bugs or glitches. These bugs can affect core functions like Wi-Fi, camera, and app performance. The update could have introduced conflicts with existing system settings or apps.

Solution:

Try a soft reset by holding the power button and volume down button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds to restart the phone. This can sometimes clear up temporary glitches after an update. Check for any additional updates in case Samsung has already released a fix for issues related to the security update. 2. Clear Cache and System Files Updates sometimes leave behind corrupt system cache files, which can slow down the phone and cause issues with basic functions.

Solution:

Clear the system cache partition. To do this: Turn off your phone. Press and hold Volume Up + Power buttons together until the Samsung logo appears. Navigate to Wipe Cache Partition using the volume keys, and select it with the Power button. Once the cache is cleared, reboot your phone. 3. Check for App Conflicts If certain apps are misbehaving or becoming unresponsive, they might be conflicting with the new system update. Some third-party apps may not be fully optimized for the latest security update.

Solution:

Try booting the phone into Safe Mode (hold Volume Down when restarting) to see if the issues persist. If the phone runs fine in Safe Mode, a third-party app might be the cause. Uninstall recently installed apps or those that might be causing lag. 4. Reset Network Settings Since you're facing Wi-Fi issues, resetting network settings can often help with connectivity problems.

Solution:

Go to Settings > General Management > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset Wi-Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth settings, which could help resolve connectivity problems. 5. Reinstall the Update or Rollback (Last Resort) If nothing works and the performance is still unbearable, consider reinstalling the update or rolling back to the previous version if possible.

Solution:

You may need to Factory Reset the phone as a last resort. Make sure to back up your data first as this will erase everything on your device. Go to Settings > General Management > Reset > Factory Data Reset. 6. Samsung Support and Warranty If the issue persists even after trying the above solutions, it may be a deeper software or hardware problem triggered by the update.

Solution:

Reach out to Samsung support and report the issue. They may be able to help with a more specialized solution or provide a fix if they are aware of a wider issue with the update. If your phone is still under warranty, they may also help with repair or replacement. Conclusion

It's definitely disappointing when a device like the Galaxy S25—which is supposed to perform at a premium level—has its performance degraded after an update. If these solutions don't resolve your issues, contacting Samsung support for a more in-depth investigation is a good next step. I hope the situation improves for you soon!
