Maybe its just your delusion

I admit It's lot slower than other ones but don't think inconsistent...
It always wakes itself up whenever I touch it, never failed to do even with a little touch.

With this update Google news is included in system pre-installed apps

The new march build has fixed the truncated text on the notification panel when you have selected the small text option.
Will update posts with more findings.
Update - Phone is way more snappier now and the battery drain has been comparitively lower than the feb patch.
Update 2 - Some People say the bootloader unlock(Enable OEM unlocking)option is now available for them. I still have it greyed out
Update 3 - Wow. Yesterday night after playing PUBG for sometime, I had 24% battery left. I left the phone as it was and came today morning to see only 1% battery drain?
This latest update has definitely improved the battery and made the more snappy and responsive. Also, The phone does not heat as much when charging.

Still no update. Any help?

Don't worry
You'll get it, just wait for some days and keep checking software update option

Its actually much better for me now. Yesterday i had to travel for 4 hours and i left the phone a 28% when the trip started and when i reached, i had 27%.
Try clearing your cache data.

Is there any improvement in the inbuilt camera app after march update bcoz i couldn't see any, still it is the same crappy app, and please suggest a google camera app link which works the best.

Still no update in Spain (TA-1103). It's weird because all previous SP and MR have arrived via OTA when they were deployed.
Is there any other way to force update? I tried with VPN trick but it was unsuccessfully :crying:

This is my battery percentage and corresponding screen-on time under normal usage which includes basic tasks like using WhatsApp, browsing chrome and listening to Spotify.
Before the March update, my battery percentage used to be around 75%-78% after this musch of screen-on time, after the update I'm seeing a significant difference.
I can't be the only one and what exactly i can do to solve this?

Nothing in italy i try with change vpn... Nothing

I was wondering if it was a security update, but I believe that's currently exclusive to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Getting the update now. Going to see what's all about
I assumed it is pushed to our watch? No update when i press system updates on the watch

Connect to your local WiFi and try again
The updates is to do with the ui-google cards. Nothing to do with security issues.
Nothing for me yet even on WiFi new google cards sounds more interesting than security updates then
I just installed the update and immediately noticed there's now a toast that will pop up when you charge the watch or take it off the charger. It could just be me but I don't remember that being there before.

that toast has been there all this time and even before the update.
Getting the update now. I noticed the Stock Exchange Card has been updated the other day (prior to the update).
Damn I was hoping for Marshmallow though. I can't wait to enable this speaker

Weird, I could have sworn I'd never seen them before. Maybe I was experiencing some sort of bug fixed by the update.
http://phandroid.com/2015/12/03/google-now-update-android-wear/
Finally got the update as well but seems I don't see improvement with the bluetooth range at all not sure if I should return it
So nothing new... lets hope 1.4 marshmallow will come soon...
Is it possible that the update fixed some battery drain issues? Its been rather amazing. Charged to 90% yesterday 8am. Heavy notification use, ambient mode, gestures on, navigation to home and ran 6 miles using two tracking apps and pandora. 45% at 12 hours later. I was at 65% before the run but kept the screen on while jogging so i could read my progress. Loving it. Cant wait for custom roms!

Various problems since October 1 security update
This may be coincidental but since getting the October 1 update, I have been having various lockups, reboots and higher battery consumption. Until the October update, I didn't have any of these problems. Never had a random reboot. Battery easily lasted 18+ hours and the few times I did have higher-than-normal battery usage from an app (usually G+ when on 4G posting lots of pictures), I would get a prompt telling me about it and then I could kill it.
Only recently added "new apps" were for Black Friday but they have since been removed. Since my phone is on AT&T I did notice some new crapware from AT&T but have disabled them.
Anyone else notice this?
Woke up to the December security patch this morning. USA Tmobile. First time I didn't have to manually check got an update.
*Taps fingers impatiently*

Yes I have some issues. My Note 8 is a Exynos version. After this update battery drain intensified, The fingerprint sensor has a delay and screen brightness go to zero sometimes
I updated and my battery is fine, maybe slightly better.

Redmi note 9s battery app suddenly updated and it's messing usage status

Hey guys
Since I bought the device the battery usage was accurate and was working fine, until suddenly like a week ago the app seems to have updated because it looks different now when you go into battery settings and also usage status is weird and messed up. I think that it's getting reset every 24 hours instead of every time I charge because when I check SOT it's always very low compared to my usage
anyone facing the same issue? anyway I can change it back to how it was before?
You are correct, only last 24h are shown, so stats are pretty useless... I already reported this bug.
The sad thing is that they say they don't have time to fix bugs as they are working on MIUI12, but they add more bugs to the working things...

People who got MIUI 12 are already complaining of bad battery life. We don't want the MIUI 12 update, we just want our battery app back as usual. if it aint broken dont fix it.
I just regret buying xiaomi man.
I agree.
You said that people with MIUI12 have issues about battery life, to think evil with this bug it's harder to get correct and comparable data about battery life...
I have created a feature request thread on Xiaomi's community forum this issue (it should be a bug instead...), please vote here https://c.mi.com/thread-3285998-1-0.html

Crazy Xiaomi, how to ruin an App in one quick change, I don't think it is likely they will revert back to the battery app that was actually quite good anytime soon, so as requested by 7mada has anybody found a way to revert back to the previous App?
Go into apps , locate security, uninstall updates at bottom and battery goes back to old version

Is the battery app related to security app? Does reverting the updates affect anything else?

When I did the security update it also changed the battery app so I guess yes, on uninstalling the security update the battery app reverted back, security still seems to work as per normal

General June feature drop is actually pretty amazing

So here is the XDA article about the feature drop
June Feature Drop for Google Pixels includes At a Glance improvements, Pocket Operator, and more
The June feature drop for Google Pixel devices is now available, and you can install it on your smartphone. It has a ton of new features.
www.xda-developers.com
And it really does look kind of..... underwhelming? like nothing there is very useful or important at large.
But the update actually brought nice stuff.
Check this article for the main take on the feature drop
June Feature Drop appears to cure most of what ailed Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro units
Most Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users have seen a big improvement in their handsets' cellular connectivity after installing the June Feature Drop.
www.phonearena.com
I myself have noticed improvements in the time to fingerprint unlock, network seems to be faster and more stable in comparison to March, and my network battery usage went down from being around 30% to around 5%!
So all in all I'm happy with this update even though it didn't seem meaningful at the beginning. It makes this phone more fine tuned and worth.
Have you-all noticed any improvements?
Are you feeling it's better then before?
Yes much better. One day in only but noticeable for sure.
The OTA update isn't showing up yet for me.

I used the android flash tool it factory reset my phone but that's not big deal for me I restored my backup from Google one.
I have noticed the fingerprint sensor is working better my phone seems to not get as good reception but the network is also not using 30% anymore it more like 10 or 15 which is still high but where I'm at now doesn't really have great reception to begin with

Yeah, that's what I'm referring to. I'm manually checking for the update, and it's not showing up. I'll try restarting.

I usually wait for the update notification upon checking updates available. This time it didn't seem it was forthcoming anytime soon since my wife's P5 didn't get it either. So I sideloaded it yesterday. It took all of 7 - 10 min from recovery to reboot. Not sure what the delay is but I just didn't feel like waiting for them to do whatever the eff they need to do to release it.

go to google ota images https://developers.google.com/android/ota
i got my phone yesterday ....love it
I've definitely noticed an improvement in the fingerprint reader. I haven't noticed any different in network - but more so because I am usually on WiFi and generally don't have network issues when I am not.

Yeah, I ended up sideloading it. No issues, and everything feels a little snappier
I sideloaded it Monday afternoon. Wasn't having any issues before and am not having any issues after.
It's a little early to tell, but I think battery life has improved. I ended the day both Monday and Tuesday with a battery that was about 10%-15% higher than usual.
Being able to use music player like neutron working again is brilliant I had the update on Monday about 11pm I'm in uk
i installed June update 2 days ago. not sure if it is the update or battery guru which was installed at the same time, but now my phone ACTUALLY goes into deep sleep (as reported by battery guru)!!
Its always in deep sleep now for around 15/16hrs between charges and battery drain is down to as little as 1% per hr when screen off. Before I could lose around 20/30% from around 10pm (last phone use) until 6.30am when i pick my phone up the following morning.
One thing i am having issue with SINCE the June update is pixel launcher. Im getting errors saying it has stopped working. I Use Lawnchair anyway, but thats not the point. Just before I get the error about pixel launcher, the phone goes really slow.
A restart of the phone hasn't solved the issues and i have also cleared data/cache from the launcher to no avail.
I NEED TO CONNECT MULTIPLE BLUETOOTH DEVICES AT ONCE!
one weird error I have since updating. If I pull down the notification tab as soon as i click a notification, instead of opening it it will lock the screen
Noticed much improved battery life as well. A 2% drop in active usage and much better standby battery drain. Took my phone out of the charger at 1pm yesterday and I'm at 48% as of writing this message the net day at 6:35pm. Moderate active usage between then and now.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that my phone doesn't seem to randomly overheat anymore while casually browsing the web.
EDIT 2:
Phone finally shut down today at 4pm, with around 50hours of total battery life and 6ish hours of screen time. This is probably the single biggest overall battery life improvement I've ever experienced just from installing an update alone on any phone I've owned.
NVM, I found the setting.
Definitely not better here battery or network wise after the June patch.

Question Lag & Bugs after Feb update

Am i only the one who is noticing minor lags around the UI after the feb update including few scrolling and wallpaper bugs on 23 Ultra?
Had no problem on my U1.
I'm noticing battery life isn't as good. Anyone else feel this?

You can't judge battery for a few days. It always sucks immediately after an update.
Should i roll back or wait for another update?

I just got my s23 ultra on Monday. Turn on phone and updated. I must say battery life isn't that great either. Once I start using my phone it goes down quickly
I haven't notice any lags after the update. Battery life seems the same as before. I just installed the update today so will see if there is any significant change. But so far seems that it's just working as intended. Still hitting 5+ hours of SOT after last a full day of use and 30% battery left no optimizations.
Seems fine here. Am on light battery profile
No difference here on VZW.
No problems on the U1 model.
No issues for me. If you have a few hiccups wait a day or 2. Apps do re-optimize after an update so let everything adjust.

Have had this after “analyzing battery pattern” phase. It was probably the play store update but as soon battery finished analysis p, it got worse
I don't get why some of you are only getting half the battery life that I am. I am Deaf so I don't do any voice calling. Don't have any games installed yet. And only Social Media I have is Facebook and Messenger. Other than that it's all Stock without any modifications and using Adaptive Refresh, Adaptive Battery and WQHD resolution.
The first screenshot was with Standard Performance Profile and Second was Light Performance Profile.

Look at the reports online. This Feb update has some s23 owners noticing battery degradation. Mostly previous gen phones updated to 5.1 though it seems, like s22 s21 owners

Hi, lot's of problems here
apps force closing
system notifications saying apps have issues
system restarting and going on a loop (not getting to the pin screen)
Had to go back to my prevoius phone until I figure it out
Chatted with Samsung, no straight answers.
Factory resetted it, still same issues, even on the instalation screen to pick language.
Anyone know how to rollback in a clean way to avoid warranty issues?

Regarding batery, wasn t able to check, but I assume it will have issues too.
Thx

Because I don't have a time machine to know what would happen. I assumed this didn't happen, but I was wrong, now is time to fix it..
Downloading update via Frija and will update on Odin.
The thing is I can't rollback, as I couldn't get the old firmware, only the new one.
I'll update here when is done.

Remember it for the rest of your life!!! All updates bring only bugs! No need to update Windows and Android! If you do, you will have problems. You won't get anything good.
