Android 15/One UI7 issues Samsung Galaxy A34

[Smellmet]

So I've updated my A34 to Android 15/One UI7 and it's immediately causing me big issues. Basically I can, at random times pull my phone out of my pocket and the AOD display is set to really bright and the phone is completely unresponsive, won't unlock, nothing. Only way to get my phone to do anything is a force restart. This is happening half a dozen times a day and only when the phone is in my pocket not when it's just placed somewhere. There's articles all over the internet about this issue affecting A34s and even rumours that Samsung has paused the rollout of One UI7 because of this.

I've tried clearing cache and data on AOD and anything I think could be related. I've done wipe cache partition, I've read online that some users have done a full factory reset and it hasn't cured it, so in the meantime I'm stuck with a previously 100% reliable phone that is semi-bricked.

Anyone have any possible solutions to this?

Not an ideal recommendation, but turn off always on, tap to wake, raise to wake, etc. and see if the problem goes away.

I've done that, see how I get on. Yesterday I set an alarm to go off on my phone and when that went off, that triggered a freeze as it was waking the screen. Not happy with this update at all. Even the UI I think is a downgrade. The battery percentage icon is almost unreadable now

In my case, in the Galaxy Fold and, above all, in the Galaxy Tab, I have noticed some bugs that I did not have before. But generally speaking I haven't noticed anything weird or overly remarkable, being more reliable on the phone than iOS, in my experience.

The Galaxy Tab has done weird things to me, it has a flaw in the battery icon, I disappear the Now Bar with the music player if I use the Dex, the dock doesn't work sometimes...
