Avoid this shit like the plague. It's not a little subtle change. It's aids. It looks like there is no option to keep lots of the prior looks or ways of doing things. It's just, boom new shit. You don't like it, too bad.

Oh but hey... AI!!!

I'm done w/ samshit. Some of the latest updates are shit from google. But my phones over the years keep getting worse.

For some reason when i want to select multiple photo's to text which I have to do at work. Used to long press then slide to select a handful. Doesn't work anymore.

Nice easy screen snip tool? Nope now it's the AI thing which has a few seconds delay before you can do anything, smart select rarely gets all I want in the image, and dragging the box is now sparkly and soft so it's hard getting the right shape on initial drag.

Biggest one, I think and type fast on PC. I watch non action videos at 1.5x or so on youtube. I despite trying to communicate fast on phone. With Samsungs I've always struggled with using SWYPE on the keyboard, I'll watch myself draw the word, and it will give me crazy shit with multiple extra letters or just not even close to where I was. Like I understand if it's nearby like getting M vs N wrong. Tried multiple settings, even with "learning" off, starts mostly OK, then falls apart. (I started to think it was just because adding so many E-slang words to the dictionary was fucking it up)

But I noticed at work dealing with spanish, quite a few of them their phones I could swype and was getting near perfect sentences from it. Not sure what they were, all apples or if any were another brand. Because I absolutely can't stand trying to navigate and using an apple phone, nothing makes sense and only that one fucking button?

Have you tried a keyboard replacement? I hate Swype in general, so, can't comment on its functionality, but I've always been happy with SwiftKey. It's gone downhill a little bit since Microsoft bought it (fuck Bing), but not enough to get me to look at switching.

I recall i could change and had tried a second one that was an option on phone, assume that's a whole new app? Might try, drives me crazy others have functional phones and these are not tech people.

Been a long time, but once you install it, it should walk you through all the settings that need to be changed to enable it. Definitely worth a shot I'd say, although I'm getting very close to dropping Samsung (and Android) myself for other reasons.

Missed this thread until it had already downloaded. What the fuck are they doing with this update? Truly hot garbage.

Damn, on the verge of picking up a new Samsung phone or decide if I should just move away from them now. Will have to rebuy watch and tags/etc since Samsung locked later versions to not just android, but Samsung devices now. I suppose that should be reason enough to move on. I just don't "get" iOS though it will have to be Pixel.

Well hell, I was curious that the update wasn't pushed to me yet, so, like an idiot I checked for updates. Now it's scheduled to install on Saturday. How fucked am I?

It's ass. That being said, I don't use my phone for 10k different things like some younger folks so aside from a few changes for the sake of change it hasn't impacted me horribly. Battery life instantly got worse. That so far , the biggest FU to customers who didn't ask for this shit.
