I noticed recently that my Z Flip 7 had been charging more slowly than it used to. I thought about it a little and it seemed like this didn't happen until after the 8.5 update. Prior to that, it was never the fastest charger at 25w anyway but now it's even worse. I notice the phone often gets pretty warm when it's charging, even with the exact same cables as I was using before. Sometimes it gets so bad that the battery even goes down when it's plugged in. A few days ago it took like 2-2½ hours to charge from 45% to 100%, which is just ridiculous. Has anyone else encountered this issue with theirs or is it my phone in particular?

I got the 8.5 update a while ago and this has been bothering me the whole time but not enough to post until now.

I have a Flip 7, and answering calls with the phone closed used to always answer them from the phone speaker, and there was a speaker icon on the cover screen during calls so that you could switch from the speaker to earpiece and vice versa. The 8.5 update replaced the speaker button with a low volume button, which is whatever.

But now it seems like sometimes (inconsistently, and with no specific cause) calls sometimes play through the phone's inner earpiece with no way to switch to the speaker anymore. I've tried turning the volume all the way up and it's still not as loud as the speaker is, so it's not like it's just quieter. But sometimes it does answer on the speaker and sometimes it doesn't so it's just super annoying to deal with when it makes me open the phone to switch to the speaker.

Edit: I also didn't specify but this issue seems unique to answering inbound calls, but as far as I can tell it doesn't happen when making calls via the cover screen

I used to crosspost stuff all the time from the main sub just for the sake of simplicity instead of copy/pasting the title, and so that people could easily see the discourse outside of our own fandom as well, but now it looks like crossposting is blocked, but I don't remember seeing any updates about it or changes to the rules. Is this permanent or will it be opened back up once the season starts again?
