Yes it doesn't work for me either , also the (back-tap action) on Registar model on goodlock doesn't work for me, but it works on the Samsung A33 , i don't know why it doesn't work on the S21 ultra

Initial impressions: phone is back to being a heater again. Literally just browsing Instagram and messaging app, the phone heats up like crazy. 14 pro max makes a lot more sense now.

I'm using the Hongkong version and found the Android 13 update available this morning. Unfortunately that put my phone to boot loop. It took me quite sometime to get out of it. Direct flashing with Odin resulted the same. I had to revert back to Android 12.

Just found out that I also have to reset my watch too because now the phone is "NEW"

That's a bit odd. Are you rooted?

Same here.
My rule of thumb is to do a factory reset whenever there's a major version of one ui or Android. It's at most, going to be a yearly thing anyway. That's why I reset my phone and flashed the latest one

Thanks for the suggestion. But in this case, I don't think it's related since I later tried to flash the same version with Odin but still couldn't get out of boot loop. But that time, I managed to get into recovery (when doing the upgrade, I couldn't even get to that), so I also wiped the cache, then did the factory reset. But still no success. So I'll stick to Android 12 for a few months and see.

    Reading in Reddit about all the bugs in UI4 it may be an advantage that we are last. Perhaps some more bugs will get ironed out..
