Man these two latest updates are junk..

[Emig5m]

My S21 Ultra ran like a supercomputer when it was new and now after the latest two updates runs like crap. Anyone notice when unlocking your phone how laggy the home screen comes up now? Not to mention the overheating issue where it would overheat so bad that it would throttle down and begin to glitch while playing a youtube video without the screen even being on. I'm about ready to factory reset and not allow any updates...

Have you tried clearing cache in recovery?

After that open galaxy labs and run the good guardians app (Formally known as Galaxy Labs) and run the galaxy app booster after you so major system or security updates.

Not running into any of those issues. Still as fast and cool as the day I got it. My only gripe is the horrible fingerprint reader.

Just did... Initially the biometrics login is faster, will have to monitor the rest with time but it begs the question, what's in the cache to cause slowdowns and why even have it if it causes slowdowns?

Over time the phone build up data files especially old ones so they need clearing up , software updates can do this also .

When the fingerprint reader starts not reading my prints great, I remove all prints and do them over.

Agree!

Love the phone, but worst fingerprint reader ever.

Mine was awesome until I installed a screen protector.

Just give your thumb a nice sloppy lick and then try the fingerprint scanner

It's definitely the screen protector that interferes with the FPS. I haven't used a FPS for the past several months and it's as close to perfect as you can get

 

[Dan_B1979]

Zero issues here to be fair

Fingerprint reader is fine for me also; I've both thumbs registered and that's it. Sometimes it will misread as my thumbs have been shredded doing grip training or lifting heavy stones, so I just roll my thumb tip to one side or the other

Actually true lol.

Actually true lol.

But you wouldn't think so at first!

It amazes me that Samsung has known it's FPR are sluggiest but still don't do anything about it. They should do a better face id like apple has now that works period never an issue.

Why should they do something about a FPS that works great for most people?

Careful, this advice may cause a huge cluster of covid cases among samsung owners. ;p

 

[barondebxl]

I agree with OP, last couple of updates seem to be more bad than good

Same here. The fingerprint reader works pretty well on my S21 Ultra. I use my index finger and sometimes rock it back and forth a few times to get it to read but I usually don't have to do that. It has a screen protector and I do not have the option turned on that supposedly increases touch screen sensitivity when using a screen protector.
