Latest galaxy note 8 system update

The latest update ran on my phone on 6/21/19 and every day since then my phone has had major issues! Anyone else having any issues with their system update?? My phone worked 100% fine before the update, no issues at all. Now it's being weird with major lag time in my keyboard and at times I wont be using my phone just go to unlock the screen initially and the screen will go black. Pushing the lock screen button does nothing. I can feel the vibrating feedback when I press where my home button is on my screen but the screen remains black and nothing else happens so I cant even unlock the screen and press to restart my phone! Every time this has happened it's gone on for about 15, my phone is uunusable the entire time since it just wont do anything and is very frustrating because I cant do anything about it it just finally works after 15 minutes but it's still being slow and goofy when it first actually lights up the screen and allows me to unlock the screen and restart my phone. Hoping someone knows what to do or Samsung can fix this major glitch sooner than later since I dont have the option to uninstall the latest update.

No because I wasn't even sure who to contact? Samsung?

It better not be because my phone was totally fine the way it was! I would be pretty upset if I were basically forced into buying a brand new phone when  the one I have is still "new"! Phones these days are way to expensive, it's ridiculous.

This isn't the experience that we want you to have on our network. Software updates are sent to your device to remove issues and implement new features on that phone. Let's see if this is a memory capacity issue. Have you tried deleting all unwanted applications, text messages, call logs, e-mails, and media on your device to free up memory space? Next, try updating the software again.

We will be more than happy to go through some steps to make sure that any issues are resolved. What happens when you power your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 off and back on?

Me and my friends having GPS issues, tried every possible solution like calibrating it, reinstalling, restart etc. You start driving but GPS doesn't get updated location. You have to exit navigation and restart multiple times to see your exact location on maps. It works for a while but again loses precision.

I am disappointed to hear about your experience with your GPS on the Note 8, HassanSyed. I appreciate everything that you have tried. Does this stop providing the GPS at a specific intersection/crossroad? Do you use the GPS function for other apps such as Checkin and does this appear to have issues? AlbertoR_VZW

I am absolutely convinced that this issue started occurring after update n950usqu7dsl5 because prior to that, it was working fine. I believe it's an issue where the internal gps software falls asleep and so gps location is halted. To reset, it takes something to awaken it again. Speculation on that part, but no speculation on the above update which caused the failure of a properly working gps.
