New update is out and it fixed the adaptive refresh rate bug finally. 

yes, seems a lot better after the update!

however, now none of my fast wireless charging pads (all non-samsung and all worked before this update) are fast wireless charging. Just "wireless charging". I cleared cache and the fast wireless charging is checked in battery settings. I checked and unchecked it, and I've rebooted again. Hmmm....that's a real bummer.

Is it just a messaging issue or is it really not doing "fast" wireless charging?

It's slow charging as best I can tell.

Even when it said "fast" wireless charging, it seemed pretty slow anyway so not sure it really changed.

I just updated my Note 20 to the UI 4 beta and it is noticeably more sluggish due to same bug.

What actually helps is turning off adaptive display because the sluggishness seems to be when the display switches hz.

did you have to go get it??  I just did a update search and nothing yet

The honeymoon period for my phone must be over, stuttery scrolling is back for me.

I've had no issues since updating, a few hiccups or too in a few apps but they might not be updated for Android 12 I figure.

We need to watch for better 5g CA in these updates as well: https://www.fiercewireless.com/5g/t-mobile-poised-launch-25-ghz-5g-carrier-aggregation

Got a November 1 security firmware update last night for my factory unlocked s21 ultra. It did not mention any video improvements.  Samsung band selection app still works with Verizon network (Red Pocket).

I've rolled back to 11 again, and deleted the system update files from the phone until they iron out all of these issues that are still quite prevalent. Random sluggishness for no reason, apps straight up refusing to work and just general weirdness. 11 is perfect for the moment no issues.

I'm still holding off for a few months, 11 is great too many issues with 12.

Many firms no longer admit their problems. One rumored area of difficultly is esims, another is video.
