One UI 6 Update

[notforhire]

I bought Nova years ago. It was the first app I paid for when I switched to Android.

I really only use Microsoft 365 for the 1 TB OneDrive storage. I can't remember the last time I've needed any other Microsoft apps.

I use Edge, Outlook, Authenticator, and To Do (share lists with the bride)

I bought Nova years ago. It was the first app I paid for when I switched to Android.

I really only use Microsoft 365 for the 1 TB OneDrive storage. I can't remember the last time I've needed any other Microsoft apps.

I use OneDrive, OneNote, and Outlook regularly. OneNote can access Microsoft Sticky Notes, so when I add something to my grocery list on my desktop, it automatically syncs with my phone. I can just swipe right to bring up my sticky notes on my phone to bring up my sticky notes with my grocery list. I also use OneNote for recipes. Outlook is my main email app, and I sync Gallery with my OneDrive for photos and videos.

Microsoft got me through both my bachelor's and master's degrees (my school offered a free M365 license) and I can get M365 family for $70/year (that is for up to 6 users).

Gmail and Google Keep? Meh and no desktop apps. Evernote? Great, but not free. Good Notes? Terrible and not free.

Oh yeah. I use Edge and Authenticator too. I don't use To Do a lot. I use Planner at work though. Microsoft is merging To Do, Planner, and Project into one app, so I may use Planner more often. Honestly, I could use To Do for my grocery lists. I just haven't gotten around to switching.

I never use OneNote, since it has so many variations (web version, mobile version, desktop version) that I can't make sense of what to do when. I use Samsung Notes for to do. Never bothered with to do on desktop. Outlook.com is my junk email, since it's full of spam anyway. Gmail has a better spam filter. Google Keep is convenient. I never have a use for lists or notes on a desktop PC. My PC is mainly for gaming. I used Microsoft and desktop PC for school and work, but I have no real use for it now except for gaming.

Doh! I swear that said that the unlocked S22 was getting the Android 14. I'm going to walk away covering my head now.

Has anyone had any issues after the tweak on the One UI 6 update?
-Screen is significantly dimmer.
The brightness bar setting was
barely at 4 mm.s, now I need an
inch (25mms)! Being sensitive
to light, that's incredible.
-Battery draining faster than
should. I've throttled down
everything I can find, in fact
maybe TOO MUCH.
-Gallery shows as
"incompatible". Not sure if
a result of EN update
begrudgingly done today.

Love my SG23U

Did you wipe the cache partition after the update? That's usually a pretty important thing to do, especially if you're having any issues.

How long have you been running OneUI 6? I experienced battery drain for a few days following the update, but it settled down. Now the battery lasts longer than it did before the update, despite my device being almost two years old.

@J Dubbs
Yeas, I actually did (^O^)
@Laura Knotek since our update, last one Dec 21st.

Thank you !

 

[BEaRebel]

As far as Battery, I put a bunch of Apps to sleep, Helped A TON.
Drain is Much LESS Now.
-Still ... other concerns remain.

 

[J Dubbs]

Have you tried safe mode to rule any rogue apps out of the equation? Sometimes apps don't play nice with updates

Battery Life "Settling in" as @Laura Knotek
describes.
How wonderful you all are,
for your support & help means SO MUCH to me.
