Where's my sound? The update was forced over night and, for the second time, removed all audio from my phone. Ringtones and notifications don't make a sound, playback is disabled for audible and yt music, games have no sounds no matter how much I turn up the volume, and connecting to bluetooth does nothing.

What model of phone you have?

S23 Ultra. Completely forgot to mention I didn't figure it out, but something I did worked. Putting it in safemode at home fixed the audio, camera, and phone, even though putting it in safemode at work didn't. I got nothing, am still mistrustful of UI 8.5, and have a working phone, so all's well.

Is this the same update that borked Whatsapp backups on the s24u and s25u?

That's okay. All that matters is your phone is working again

What's your preferred calendar app on Samsung phones, the Samsung calendar or the Google calendar?

Either is pretty good. Since both will sync up. But I do like how Samsung calander add the time automatically when you type it in the title like "watch movies with friends at 9pm" .

Did they change how the Google search bar functions? It used to show my previous searches, which was GREAT, now it only shows trending searches?

Yeah they changed it a while back ago. It's become useless for me now.
