Not at ALL

I probably need to remove some of these apps I never use. See if I can get a little better Batt life...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Everyone uses there phone different i always get 10 to 11hrs SOT, like right now I'm over 3hrs SOT and at 80%
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
I know, it just baffles me, with SUCH a wide difference.

I'm at 84% and 28 min SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
That is why I rarely worry about battery because everyone uses their device differently. Some will let movies play for hours, while others game like crazy, and others do none of the above and only check email,surf the web..you get my point. I was just posting since the new update and I actually charged to 100% for once. I was happy with the battery before. But my opinion and it's just my opinion not pushing it on anyone else. I think if you are getting 5hrs SOT it's satisfactory. I for one don't have time to be one my phone for obscene hours throughout the day..work..family..lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Wow that sucks, and the thing is I'm at work, once i leave later I'll be using some of the apps i haven't used yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Settings make the difference. Question is, what is disabled and what is being used. Your usage will be different. Looking at someone else screen on time and not knowing what is enabled will only frustrate you.

So apps are poorly optimized for android 12, some developers are also lazy. So its up to you to manually check.

Its a task but it will be worth it

Thanks, I get all of that. I'm just expressing my frustration

Does disabling them really make any difference to battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] olivehue512:
I'm still a little confused. If I'm on SD Locked Verizon US. I could patch to U1 and be carrier unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Rather it does or not..meeeh? It's things I don't use so I disable them. I have never compared battery with them enabled. It's just what I do. Posted the list for others to use as a reference.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
No, to my understanding, installing firmware does not change network lock status it just removes some of the carrier configs. You still need to unlock either with your carrier or 3rd party service.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Question y'all, I had to factory reset and my phone's battery and heat issue seemed worse than when I was on the previous firmware AVC8

I'm currently on AVCK, U1 unlocked firmware with AT&T. Can I use Odin to flash backwards to AVC8 or AVA6? Is there anything else to be done or it's that simple?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Yes, currently you can flash backwards with no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
The only time you can't flash backwards is if bootloader number changes
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] NozGojira:
Can dirty or only clean flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Clean, only
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Herk718:
This is not true, I actually purchased a s22 Ultra 512 that was actually reported stolen through AT&t without my knowledge, I flashed U1 software and I'm using the phone as we speak on T-Mobile so yes it indeed unlocks the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
That is a different "unlocked" than what was being asked. The "Unlocked" firmware will not unlock your SIM, that has to be done by the carrier (typically)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
So an interesting turn of events. I changed my screen refresh to 60hz, currently 2h 30min SOT and 68% battery left
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
I believe other members with more experience may pitch in, but that's a completely different scenario.

When you bought the device: was it network locked or unlocked? Being carrier blacklisted is another thing., for example I had a phone that was blacklisted in Tmobile (did not know at the moment of purchase) but worked fine on other carriers.

IT has been said here in this forum (again other members may correct me), that flashing does not unlock the device, keep in mind that unlocking is on a carrier level not on a rom level.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Herk718:
On another note, I have still yet to receive official OTA update for April security patch and upon checking Sam mobile for the official firmware they have yet to release the U1 software for T-Mobile, which is weird because in previous months it's been released already wonder what's going on with that anyone care to chime in, would be greatly appreciated...

I would flash the software that's in the op but for some reason it's not adding up because it ends in k and if I'm not mistaken well at least in my case for the U1 T-Mobile firmware it should be ending in a J.

Well when I bought the device and put my cricket SIM in which is a US sub carrier under AT&t I could not make a call only send text messages soon as I attempted to make a call it hung up upon further research that was because it was reported stolen and the network was blocking any outgoing calls or incoming calls once I flashed the official U1 software from Sam mobile (T-mobile variant to be exact) to use my phone normal now so I understand what you're saying but far as unlocking go that sounds like the devices unlocked to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Herk718:
The device was actually AT&t branded I checked the IMEI and it's a AT&t device and no it wasn't unlocked because I tried to unlock it through AT&t and they said it was not possible because of the circumstances.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Herk718:
But that's enough off topic for me please excuse me Op didn't mean to go off topic here just had to share my experience thanks for everything you're doing here bro.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
As one final off-topic.. Just because it was branded does not mean it was network locked. original owner might have gotten it unlocked via 3rd party service (which is possible). Anyways just wanted to share that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Umm nope your 💯 wrong I'll let the others quote this which they will tell you the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Herk718:
I guess it's not as off topic as I thought, going to say this one piece and I'm done I don't care who says anything else after this when I put the T-Mobile SIM in when I was on USA AT&t software it did not work once I flashed U1 T-Mobile software it worked so y'all take that for what it is like I said I was just giving my experience on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Not off topic at ALL, love having the Conversations. Everyone ends up learning.

I'd say that there was something going on with that specific device, I can't say what it could have possibly been. That unlocking has to come from a carrier that unlocked the IMEI.

There's nothing in the "Unlocked" firmware that can actually unlock the devices ability to be used on different any carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Herk718:
Yeah it's possible, I could of lucked up cuz I never witnessed nothing like this before neither and I'm a long time Galaxy user but nevertheless it did happen and I just put the information out there for somebody that's probably going to be in my situation one day to give it a try might work for them as well that's all thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Speaking of unlocking, I can't get t-mobile to unlock my fully paid U device that I bought from Samsung. Something about issues from their server end. I know folks here a while back seemed to get a more satisfactory response from their twitter handle but I can't make myself go there since I don't utilize nor have an account with twitter.

Never had any issues in the past calling in so I guess I'll have to escalate this to a higher up supervisor/ Manager.

Any other tips?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Shottiwrld:
Hey I can help you I was dealin with the same issue ok I called Samsung like tmobile said Samsung told me that all my unlock codes was send over to tmob and when I call 611 tell them the phone need to be "white listed" because it's fully paid off so when u call them tell them the phone is from Samsung and that it need to be white listed unlocked the lady take like 2 mints to unlock it on her end and successfully 😀 I'm not leaving tmobile but it's always feel good to have a unlock phone
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Anyone having issues with AVCK on AT&T U1 firmware?

Is the battery life better or worse?

I was on AVC8(when it was perfectly fine, I shouldn't have updated) and I updated via OTA to the new firmware and it was giving me issues, so I factory reset and the phone is worse than when I bought it new, and this is from a factory reset.

So I'm thinking of just flashing back to AVC8 for the time being.

Anyone else share a similar experience with the U1 firmware? Snapdragon.

I've always mostly flashed my firmwares in the past with a clean install, so it is mind-boggling to me that after I did an OTA and factory reset, with no flashing, my phone is worse. Very strange indeed.

Before my phone would rarely heat up, now it's hot all the time, even doing the simplest things. Something is definitely wrong.

Before and after pic to compare.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
Open a twitter account and just use it for that, then disable the account and be done with it, it took 5 minutes to get it unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
I'm using the phone outside US as well, (Italy currently) with Italian sim and I got the OTA this morning so you just have to wait a little bit

Wait a little bit, one week or so that the phone settles. BTW I'm facing the same, but I updated only this morning.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
How come it's CCT if you have AT&T? Because of Multi-CSC sim?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
The branded U firmware is universal for all supported carriers, if you reset the phone with a sim of a supported carrier in it, at the first reboot it adapts all the specified carrier services. So for example, if you want your phone to be ATT branded, just flash the U firmware and reset the phone with an ATT sim in it. After the first reboot you'll get ATT splash screen and all its services. That's how it works basically
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Thanks bro. I already have AT&T sim on U1 firmware, I'm flashing back to original carrier locked U firmware provided by Venom to see if my battery life will improve. I've always kept my Sim in the phone any time I flash U or U1, I doubt it matters for me since I bought the phone from AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Actually it does matter. The SIM is what dictates the carrier "package" that's installed
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Yup, if you also flash CSC (not HOME) and useradata, you'll reset your phone automatically after flashing the firmware, I guess it will reboot with ATT splash screen directly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
So after a little test, moving my display to 60hz refresh rate battery life is WAAAAAY better. So it seems to me that whatever apps I am using is forcing a constant (or close to) use of 120hz
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I was on the phone with the t-mobile rep today that's been helping me over the last 2 weeks. He said the server is back up and running but they're having difficulty whitelisting my phone because it would not come up as a t-mobile device. Their policy is to now escalate this to Samsung since I pre-ordered and bought it from them so they can address it from their end. T-force was also unable to help as well according to him because of this issue. I have a call back scheduled for next week.

My software version reads TMB, TMB, TMB/ XAU/ TMB from day 1. I got the April t-mobile update the same day it was pushed to everyone here so I'm relatively confident that I have their U device. I'm patient by nature so I'll let this play through to the end and I won't travel internationally until June so I'm good at least till then.

In regards to twitter, this just released article perfectly personifies what I feel about it and social media in general. I loathe it and won't be signing up not now nor just even for a minute but I digress. It is the way of the future even if it'll end up destroying us unfortunately...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Thanks, after flashing @Venom0642 AVCJ firmware that he posted, I'm back to normal battery life. This thread is a life-saver for people who mess with their phones way too much 🤣

Good lookin out.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Shottiwrld:
Damn that suck hopefully something can give because I know how it feel to be lock to a carrier when you trying travel and can't use your phone because it's lock I just don't get why samsung just can't unlock it your software version the same I have nothing different I have the tmobile 512gb that was lock I was gonna get the unlock version but I felt it was pointless if I can still get it unlock from tmobile but the problem you having sucks dude hopefully they can fix it I would still keep calling see to talk to someone that got the magica touch 🤣🤣 to do it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gettinwicked:
I'm on unlocked U1 on Verizon, and my battery life is definitely worse. Not a lot, but worse. Play services is still an ~8% or so drain daily. AA is the other big one, but, that's always been.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Yup I confirm too. Seems Samsung changed the CPU scheduling behaviour: when demanding tasks are required, it lock the frequency of the 4 A510 cores to the maximum 1.78GHz and the 3 Gold A710 to around 2GHz. The only one core which behaves almost the same as before is the Prime Cortex X2. This is clearly visibile if you use any CPU stress test app.

On AVC8 instead, all cores frequency used to fluctuate a lot more giving maybe a better balance between power and battery consumption.

At least the stress test seems to show that CPU performes definitely better than before in the first 10 minutes of test BUT it throttles a little bit more after, with a performance decrease of around 25% vs ~18-20%. Interestingly enough also temperatures seems better in this firmware: average 36°C with Max 41 °C vs average 41°C with 43°C max.

This is what tests shows but I also feel that sometimes phone is smoother than before, sometimes has more lags.

We can conclude anyway that this firmware is less stable than AV8 in terms of CPU scheduling.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Yeah, my phone would heat up like crazy just doing the simplest task like opening an app that doesn't require much power. AVCK on U1 is no good. AVC8 and AVJC I never had 1 issue whatsoever and no Google play drainage. I reverted back successfully and life is good now. U isn't that bad, I've always looked down upon it and always flashed U1 whenever I could, but now with the power of ADB Control App, I can just disable everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
There is definitely an issue with AVCK on U1 firmware. I reverted back to AVCJ on U, now my phone is normal and not even getting warm. AVC8 and AVA6 are also normal on U1 and U, same battery life.

Compare this to the pic from my initial post.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Oluwapizzy10:
Good day, could anyone recommend the best 3rd party paid service to use when trying to do a network unlock on s22 ultra tmobile locked device. so many sites onlline but can't trust them
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Did you need to erase when you reverted?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] NozGojira:
Hi kris, when you return from U1 to U you started on scratch again? Did you flashes CSC instead the Home?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
I never ever ever do a dirty flash, that's just how I am, so I can't say if there will be issues for you or not, but it's highly recommended and advised to clean flash using CSC when going from U to U1 or vice versa. Never used HOME_CSC in my life.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
It is highly recommended and advised to do a clean install, easier to identify an issue when switching, instead of carrying over data and stuff like that. That's just me though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Kris is spot on
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Domiziz:
I wonder. Is it possible to flash the unlocked software on another country S22U?

I have the japanese version and it's impossible to disable the camera shutter sound so i am wondering if i can flash it to get rid of the sound.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Your device can ONLY be a S908U or S908U1 to flash any of the firmware on this thread
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
I moved from AVCJ to AVCK 2 days ago, and yesterday's usage was typical for me, I'm not noticing any additional battery drain and battery life is good. Possibly I don't run a typical app set; I don't use facebook or tiktok. Twitter was my most heavily used app. Yesterday I had 4h52m SOT and 10h50m standby and had about 65% left at the end.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gettinwicked:
I'm barely on FB or Twitter. My biggest uses are news, forums, etc., and I use wireless AA and YTM in the car. Those last two plus play services are always on the top. However, I should still be doing better. My pixel 4xl got me 20-24 hours of battery life. 🤷‍♂️
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Good news... T-mobile finally came through and got my phone unlocked. The thing though was that it was Samsung who automatically did this remotely once they they got the request from t-mobile. Brings up the intriguing question of what else they can do ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Just saw this
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] theoretically:
I'm so confused. Why am I getting the ugly Verizon 4G LTE status bar indicator? In the past on factory unlocked U1 Samsung devices I didn't have any carrier specific apps/features/ugly Verizon 4G LTE status bar indicator. Is it because of the multi csc?

Using a Verizon sim on a factory unlocked U1 device.

I just want the default Samsung LTE indicator :/
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
I think that's just a Verizon thing. On U1 firmware with AT&T sim I see regular plain LTE icon.

On U firmware however, it says 5G E instead of LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
My best one yet over 11hrs SOT AT&T S22 Ultra 5G Snapdragon 512GB, not trying to rub it in lol 😆 😉 😜
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Oh come on now Venom, yes you are rubbing it in :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] NozGojira:
i think this is really possible not using facebook and messenger and just watching for a long hours like youtube or movie
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
My OCD is very happy seeing all your apps being active for the same amount of time, don't ask me why lol. It's just aesthetically pleasing.

Also the woman's face is like "baby please charge me, I'm at 2%"

Nice SOT! I wanna be like you when I grow up.

A not bad one. Will try to get rid my Vancedmicro-G now since i dont need it and to see if i can gain some more. Btw im on U1 AVCK.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Shottiwrld:
That's great did glad they could give a hand and helping that sucks known u own a phone but it's still lock to the company 😂 man but congrats now u can go anywhere with this monster of a phone
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Just a heads up. I think the May update will updated bootloader to bit2. So this means no flashing back to previous versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I think I'm having ghost touch issues that have been reported on these threads. Mine happens when I pull down my notification where it automatically closes by itself after a few seconds. This started happening after the April update..

Anyone else here with similar issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I had this a few times. Not your specific issue but I opened Samsung browser and it kept going back to home. Not sure if it was connection issue with browser or not. It only happened a couple times and hadn't occurred since and I too was on April update
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Justinphxaz:
I've had the same ghost touch issues ever since the April security patch update. I found a few things that seem to have worked for the time being. If you have power savings mode enabled, turn it off and that stops it. If you have touch sensitivity enabled, disable it and that stops it. When I would put the phone in dark mode at night that seemed to slow it down quite a bit, not completely, but it definitely helped quite a bit.

Right now, for the past two days or so, I've kept power savings mode enabled and just disabled the touch sensitivity and it seems to have stopped the ghost touches almost completely. I'd say honestly like 99.5%. I feel like the ghost touch has happened maybe two or three times over the past two days since turning touch sensitivity off, but it's nothing compared to how it was, it was horrible.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Mine occurs when I pull the notification half way down. If I pull it completely all the way down- it doesn't seem to affect it. I'm confident that Samsung will address this in the near future as they have the majority of issues that were occurring with their exynos handsets.

I'm impressed and have to say credit is due to Samsung as to how quickly they've addressed the myriad number of problems that have plagued their S22 Ultra launch. It should've never happened to begin with as most of it was either self inflicted or should've been caught during testing before launch. No one's perfect though and what matters is if they've done right by their customers which I believe they have with their quick updates they've been pushing out to this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Since you posted...I woke this morning and it's worse. If I watch the screen you can actually see the recent key or home key animation as if they are actually being pressed
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rodrigoath:
I've seen the ghost touch on keyboard either trying slide write on Samsung and gbord, when you write "sensors" it's jump and cut to "seen sites" for example
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Well I flashed back to previous. Clean install, didn't fix the issue. Still getting ghost touches. I'm wondering if it's Nova launcher
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Damn...still does it on stock launcher
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Wait what you have a ghost in your phone 👻 👻👻👻
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Yes and it's spooky..it will not stop.
