I know, but there were beta testers saying that on the S22 and now the forum is full of this doesn't work, where did this go and so on. When it officially releases for the fold 4 if there aren't similar posts it will be the first phone that gets a new OS with no issues.
Understand, but not everyone gets that luck. Just because you and others don't have issues doesn't mean they aren't out there. The forums are always this is a great phone, nothing better before updates but there's post after post of issues after the update. S22U forum is full of issues now, this one will be also, if not it will be a first.My husband & I have Unlocked s22 Ultras on T-Mobile & were not on the beta. We haven't experienced any problems. The battery life hasn't decreased, our notifications are coming through & they wake our screens. I can't say I've noticed that the phones are taking longer to charge.
I like Android 13 & Samsung's UI 5.0.
I know that sometimes updates don't go according to plan, but I believe you will always hear more about the negative experiences than the positive.
I'm debating on package disabler to block at least until I know good lock is working 100%. I can't hide from it forever, I know that.
Ok. My main one is the one to put the clock on the right side where it belongs. Clock on left drives me crazy. One handed is nice also, and I messed around with theme park but that's no biggie to me.
Absolutely, third party apps throw a big wrench in the mix. Apps like good lock should not be one of the apps not working though since Samsung does that app.I do agree. I think that 3rd party apps tend to throw wenches into things also.
I have used PDP to hold off on updates in the past. Sometimes it's worth it for peace of mind if nothing else!
In fact I'm planning on a factory reset after 13 because of my experience with 12. 
)I don't want to do a factory reset, there's no need for me to do one, my phone is working great now. All my apps work great now, I don't want to have to go thru and adjust settings and permissions. Could be easily resolved, but there's nothing I need to resolve now, phone is working great.I'm betting that 90% of updates go well and the few that don't are easily resolved. Despite the many factors that can mess up an update (500 installed apps and not all of them legit, a million settings & permissions for the phone & each of the 500 apps and some of them conflicting with each other, etc) amazingly most people experience a smooth transition and love the new features that come with a major update. Chances are, if an update creates a problem, the problem is minor and easily fixed. Often times it's only a matter of updating the 500 apps installed on your phone or cleaning your partition cache.
Worst case scenario, you might have to do a Factory Data Reset but even that is rarely necessary these days.
I actually did have problems with the latest update. Phone lagged opening & closing apps and OneUI would stop responding. After trying the easy fixes, I was ready to do an FDR but read from others that using another launcher solved the problem. Yup, that worked. I still plan on doing an FDR just so I can start fresh & clean. As much work as it is to do the backup, the FDR & re-setup, (maybe 3-4hrs work) it sure is nice to have a phone that feels brand new again. I used to always do an FDR with every major update; before installing the update and then after installing the update. I haven't done that in years because if there are problems, they are minor and there is always a fix.
Despite that I've had a few glitches with updates, I still look forward to them and the only hesitation in installing them is doing it when I have time to play with the new features after. I still have my important data & pictures backed up before the update but I'm always doing that on a regular basis anyway.
