DO NOT UPDATE if you haven’t already.
I was forced into an update a few weeks ago. Since then my battery life is a 1/4 of what it use to be, it reset all of my settings, there are changes to inbuilt apps that leave them pretty much useless and the whole thing generally ran slower then it use to… until today, when it bricked and now is telling me I need to factory reset and delete 7 years of data, but won’t let me back up or copy the data first.
