[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Justaquestion2:
of course i want regular security updates. im planning on having this phone for the next 3 years. i asked because i wanted to go back until they release 4.1 - that maybe would help.

i understand your concern about me damaging my phone and i appreciate it alot.

so i took your advice and ill walk you thru what i did:

- backed up photos+videos via smart switch. didnt back up any apps or ui setting at all. thought there were maybe a virus via some app or missed setting that was maybe messing with my phone.

- power button + volume down -> power button + volume down ->entering this little menu.

- cache wiped -> reboot

- factory reset - clean phone - setting up phone just like a brand new phone.

- another cache wipe just in case.

- moved back my videos+photos

- download the apps back one by one via google store.

- phone is feeling by a bit less laggy than before, animation run a bit smoother than post update - but still not snappier and smoother than pre update, aka 3.1.

- battery life improved slightly, nothing shocking, but still once again, nothing compared to pre update, aka 3.1

havent made a full test on battery, but it looks like it take around 18% per hour on the tasks i mention before, instead of 25 as post update, and 7-10 pre update.

i guess i can live with this situation until a fix or a patch, if there ever gonna be one, but i'd really rather to get back to the smoothness and battery life as before. this was the number 1 reason i went for that phone. feeling a downgrade after 2-3 months is just "not fair".

i always thought these apps for battery on the google store are just useless..

but ill give it a try.

i wouldnt mind trying clean install 12 again, but is there any guide for it via odin? im kinda noobie regarding firmware changes and stuff? or where can i get the files i need for my specific phone?

i followed Arobase40 instruction and did a cache wipe and factory reset - read the quote above this one. i wrote exactly what i did as people in this sub told me to do.

thanks for trying to help man, i really appriciate it.

i wouldnt mind trying anything if its 100% safe to not damaging my future updates.. because i want to stay with this phone until it stops to get updates(3-4 years).

i shared here a video of someone using odin and asked if this is the procedure, ive been told its not the complete one..

well i entered my phone and copied the update serial number, went to sammobile, entered model and country and found the specific firmware. its also the same serial firmware as installed in my phone.

question is if theres a complete walkthrough of that procces, and is it 100% safe not to harm any future updates?

ill take another look over the settings even tho i havent change much when i got the phone. ill also try this AccuBattery to check what drains it. even tho SOT section didnt gave me an answer to that question.

i just did a day ago a complete wipe both cache and factory reset. only backed up images and videos. none apps and none ui settings.

feels slightly better, but yet again nothing compared to pre update.

what are the bad side effect of using Odin? i mean if it doesnt go as planned, what am i facing with? im asking because im new to this Odin thing.

i dont think there is something fault with my device tbh, because it worked flawlessly before this update since day 1. had zero problems when i got it. that is why i was happy i bought it, and that is why im seeking for any help on why these issues occurred post update out of the blue.

ON THAT NOTE I WOULD LIKE TO THANKS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR TRYING TO HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM EVEN THO YOU DONT HAVE TO.

FOR TRYING BEING AS HELPFUL AS YOU ALL ARE.

MANY THANKS AND I WISH I COULD PAY Y'ALL BACK SOMEWAY AROUND.
