Battery drain like a 5 years old phone!

lock fingerprint is a nightmare! after being the fastest cell phone opening with fingerprint in market, it's now the worst!

Samsung wallet keeps crashing and not reading fingerprint anymore. I was embarrassed to pay petrol and ended up paying after long time of trying. 

This is specially after latest October security update!

Are you listening Samsung Team or we are just talking to ourselves in here!

Please do something, i am suffering on daily basis. Or I should wait for additional month for next update so it get fixed! IF IT WILL BE FIXED!

Thank you for your reply, however it seems that you have not read my issue carefully and you have just replied with e template you have.

. My issue is related to latest security update (October) which means my phone is up to date.

. I am writing my issue in here in application Members (The one I have got originally with the phone) and it is up to date as well.

. I have done the diagnosis and fingerprint result is normal.

. I have deleted saved fingerprints and registered it many times, and guess what! Nothing happened, barely it read my fingerprint.

. New approved charger.

. Deep sleep background apps is working almost for all my personal apps and not system apps.

. Screen brightness is auto to avoid using high brightness when no need.

. Of course i am using the local original sim card and it's in sim 1.

. Wallet is the original all i stalled when i bought the device.

Finally., please read carefully what i have mentioned. ((The issues started with latest security software update)), not with all solutions you are talking about!!

Waiting for your resolution after carefully checking not just a common template!
