Experiencing App Slowdowns and Bugs After One UI 7? Reports from Sweden and Spain

Many Samsung users in Sweden and Spain report app slowdowns, glitches, and minor bugs after updating to One UI 7. This guide compiles real user experiences and provides practical solutions for Galaxy S22, S22 Ultra, and A-series devices.

After updating my Galaxy S22 on Telia in Stockholm, I noticed slower app launches, occasional freezes in Samsung Health, and delayed notifications. Friends using Movistar and Vodafone España reported similar behavior on Galaxy S22 Ultra and A-series phones. One UI 7 introduced new background processes, adaptive animations, and updated system apps, which sometimes result in temporary slowdowns.

3. Carrier-Specific Observations

Sweden: Telia, Tele2, Telenor Sverige, Hi3G may cause minor delays in notifications or app sync due to network optimizations. Spain: Movistar, MásOrange, Vodafone España, Digi España sometimes affect widget refresh rates and app synchronization.
