OneUI 8.5 stable has made my Fold 7 unusable. Update at your own risk.
I'm running 8.5 stable on T-mobile on an unlocked Fold 7. My phone ran flawlessly prior to the update but now has major problems.
- Speaker no longer works so I cannot make calls, listen to music, or hear any alarms. Connecting to a bluetooth device resolves these issues but the moment I'm back on the phone audio, absolute silence. Caller can hear me but I cannot hear them.
- Phone runs hot regardless of activity, paired with massive battery drain. Even while idle, it's slightly warm to the touch and while using any app, phone starts to throttle and frame drop occurs. From a full charge, the phone will die with SOT under 1(!!) hour.
- Massive speed drop in cellular transmission. Perhaps it's due to something overheating post update but the phone has gone from several hundred mbps at work and home to less than 30mbps. When connected to wifi, no issues with speed.
Is anyone else having similar issues? There are other odd bugs here and there but this is the first time I've genuinely had major issues with an update.
