Phone still glitching even after updating to Android 14 and One UI 6?

[bingbongbangbung]

The same glitches I encountered on my Samsung Galaxy A34 5G with Android 13 and One UI 5.1 are still somewhat present smh. I just keep punching my phone screen when those glitches happen and don't go away immediately. It's like Samsung is mocking me when the Super AMOLED display refuses to break after months of abuse. Yet a few times over the first few weeks of me stabbing the phone against the corner of my desk, it does break even with a screen protector (I got it fixed of course). Ok some glitches have been fixed and others aren't as bad, but some have remained with no changes made to them at all.

What glitches if i may?

App assigned to bottom right corner for lock screen randomly being activated despite not tapping there, wallpaper settings showing up upon unlocking phone but then reverts to lock screen if I leave it, fingerprint scanner not working and/or not showing up sometimes, clock being rendered in weird ass places when always-on display is shown, and also the screen sometimes changing from eye protection mode being on to off (or vice versa)

I've recently updated my phone to Android 14 and One UI 6.0, which many glitches have went away, but those associated with the lock screen are still around

These issues seem very specific i believe some hardware could be in play causing all these glitches in the background. Full reset didn't work for these glicthes right?

I never did a factory reset and I don't want to

Hmm sometimes it's an internal driver config error which could be specific to your device and if other users aren't facing the same issue, they won't roll out any patches for it. So a factory reset is suggested as it has worked for such issues before.

[bingbongbangbung]

Ah whatever, I'll probably factory reset my phone if I'm experiencing problems beyond this. Since I updated to Android 14 and One UI 6, a lot of problems have went away so whatever.

sounds fair

Like the camera and gallery apps were broken in which I couldn't view nor edit any pictures I took nor from storage whether locally or externally. Other Samsung apps just straight up either stopped working or couldn't be updated anymore for my phone, and my only options in Google Play was to uninstall or disable them. A lot of apps like YouTube and Discord just got more unresponsive over time (not as laggy as Google Maps though). Sadly updating didn't fix the problems specifically with YouTube, but Google doesn't seem to care as the website is superior to the app... except recently with the blocking and sabatoging of ad blockers.

You bought overpriced and overrated garbage.

[bingbongbangbung]

300 dollars isn't overpriced and yeah I agree the SoC in the A34 is garbage

[bingbongbangbung]

The A34 if anything is extremely underrated, since most people that like Samsung recommend getting the A54, which has a slightly faster SoC, is somewhat smaller, comes with a "hole punch" camera, and has a glass back panel, yet it costs 200 dollars more despite everything else being the same.
