Not sure if you were asked this or if it was brought up but did you clear the cache partition from the recovery mode? It didn't work for me but it may have helped some other phones. I have not been on here for awhile but this new format is going to take a lot to get use to

My phone has been very slow since I did the last update. I have cleared the cache partition like I always recommend that you do after an update and still it is just slow. When I go into txt message app I know I have a txt in there but it takes a few seconds longer to load the txt. Before this update if I got a txt I could see it before I went into the app. I hope this all works out after a few days. I know they claim it takes a few days for the phone to get use to the update. I am using the yellow messaging app not the verizon one 

Have you tried to clear the cache partition in recover mode. It will not change any of your phone settings just clears out all the old files that the phone has accumulated over the time you have had it. Also if you go into the battery settings what does in say in battery usage that is using the most battery life? Sometimes there are apps that let themselves run after you close them and they could be using a lot of your power.

One thing that I noticed was that on my wifi connecting to the the 5g I used to get 300 mps but now it only gets 54. I know that the problem is with the update because I have a S5 that is still connecting at the 300mps. I thought at first it was my router but with the other phone connected at that speed and other checks that I have done I hope there is a patch coming soon for this

Have you cleared the cache partition? It is always a good idea to do this after update to your phone. Volume up-power-home will get you into recovery mode Then use the volume down to highlight clear cache partition then press the power button use the volume down again to say yes and press the power button again. This will not reset the phone it just clears up a lot of room on the phone of old files that the just clearing the cache from the phone under storage doesn't get.

Something does not sound right with the android system for that amount of time and that much used.Verizon has a program that is supposed to be able to tell if the phone has been updated correctly and if you can get it to work like it is supposed to it maybe able to fix this problem. I have had some luck with this program but I have read on here where some people have had problems getting it to work. Repair Assistant - Software Upgrade Assistant (Samsung) | Verizon Wireless Also after you get done try clearing the cache partition in recovery mode. This clears out all the old files from the phone which if you never have done this could be a lot and could be the reason the android system is working over time. Volume up-power-home will get you into recovery mode Then use the volume down to highlight clear cache partition then press the power button use the volume down again to say yes and press the power button again. This will not reset the phone it just clears up a lot of room on the phone of old files that the just clearing the cache from the phone under storage doesn't get.

Sounds like something went wrong with the update for it to be using that much of the battery. I know some people have had problems getting the SUA to work right. If you have smart switch or kies they may work as far as the update. Both of these programs are from Samsung and they do update the phone as well as backing up the phone.

Sounds like you have done a lot of checking on this problem. The one with the squeezed (pressure) is the one I thought of too. I have read a lot of the complaints about the oreo update but this is the first one I read with this problem. Have you gotten in touch with Samsung to see if they have heard of this with the oreo update? Also have you checked their fourm to see if anyone has had this problem too? Home - Samsung Community
