My s23+ received the One UI9 update and was bricked. Good excuse for a new phone. I received my S26+ last Wednesday and reinstalled everything. Thankfully I keep current back ups.

Phone worked great all day Friday. Friday night the One UI9 hit the S26+. I can now receive calls as long as I don't "login" to the phone. When I swipe and enter my passkey I have any where from 30 seconds to 3 minutes that I can actually use the phone before it self restarts. This makes my workflow a grind as I have MFA enabled on most things I use and need access to Google Authenticator. Hopefully a patch will be released soon. I really don't want to go to the dark side and get an iPhone.

      I received the new update to my s23+, now my phone is totally messed up. Everything has changed and no matter what I do I can't get things back to the way they were. All my settings are different, my h I me page is totally messed up, the page with my favorites or frequently called numbers, has now turned into a double row of some people and I can no longer tap their picture to text them. Now it automatically calls them. There are two rows of people then another two rows of the same people. I really want out of this update. I won't have a phone I can't customize they way I want
      And I was not aware of any update taking place as I come here only to ask questions
