I was having the same problem with the site. I just chatted w/ sales via the widget on the bottom right and they got me squared away. You do need to switch to a proper plan if you aren't on one already though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gettinwicked:
It's $1000 but there's something wrong with their system. Get on a chat, they fix it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lucky_strike33:
I got it with $1,000. but samsung site has better deal
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vpr5703:
Probably, but I'd rather have it come out monthly on my VZW account. Plus I don't want a lot of the accessories anyhow.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
I managed to pre-order before the presentation was over un the UK. There was a queue system on each checkout step lol I pre-ordered the S22 Ultra 512GB in Graphite. Trading in my wife's P40 Pro, and at least in the UK you get the Buds Pro as a gift for pre-ordering.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
after 8 frickin hours of trying off and on, I was able to get one pre-ordered here in the States, green unlocked 512gb, wanted the red one but the green was my next choice and was able to get that ordered, so that`s what I got lol, I was curious so I tried a preorder again and there site is still having issues at 4 am in the states WTF samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xray49er:
My wife was trying all day yesterday. she finally got a checkout button and she checked out and it removed the watch from her cart without letting her make changes and she lost her 250 samsung credit. She is so mad. she has benn trying to call them since midnight est time. I am not even sure she slept.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] highlightshadow:
I placed an "upgrade programme" order last night ok ... website in uk seemed bugged and only allowed burgendy colour

But cancelled the order for now instead anyway -- waiting until we get some real performance metrics from the device ... "leaked" figured / testing have been all over the place so nothing trusted yet.

Need to see things like stress tests etc on Exynos before i commit again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
Just preordered mine, Burgundy 256GB, got a $100 discount and trade in value for my iphone 13 pro max of $900
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Do you think the S22 Ultra will get anywhere close to the SOT of your previous 13 pro max? Hope you'll let us know once you compare the two.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
I'll surely will, I will prepare a comparison between both devices
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Thanks. I just created a thread here so jump in and feel free to share your thoughts when you're ready :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
Just received a mail from BestBuy that my order will likely be fulfilled on April 1st. WTF????? :( I didn't preorder with Samsung as they don't do trade in for iPhone 13 pro max. This sucks.. I'm tempted to cancel the BestBuy order and just buy the phone full price at Samsung and then figure out selling the iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
holy crap, that`s really long wait :(
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
I just talked to them, they said not to worry they put a long date as the latest I will get the phone, they expect it to be way sooner than that. I was tempted to go with samsung site but all the extras (what you can use for the $200 they give) is pretty much SOLD OUT so no fun there.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah you can still get the 200 later on after the phone is delivered and they will send you gift code for the 200.00, like me I was having a issue just getting preorder placed I didn`t use the 250.00, I got extra 50.00 for reservation for the preorder, I skipped usuing the 250.00, and in my order details it says after 14 days after my S22 Ultra is delivered, they will send me code for the 250.00 that can be used on there website and you have 90 days to use the 250.00
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
I thought so, but when I "skipped" the add-ons as nothing caught my attention (45W charger was sold out, buds sold out), it said I would lose the $200 credit as it was valid only when buying. Did not want to risk it. Rather wait for Best Buy (which also gave me a $200 gift card)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
that`s crazy you have to use or you lose it, maybe because I did the pre-order reservation, below what is what`s in my order details

$250 Samsung CreditMODEL NUMBER: 250_ECERT_PRIVATEPREORDER/JAN_2022For reserve ( 2/9- 2/24) Use your redemption at the time of preorder, or redemption details will be emailed within 14 days after your order is delivered. 90 days to redeem​
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] StefanoDurden:
I live in Switzerland and pre-ordered an S22 ultra and only now I am thinking... Is it gonna be the dual sim (physical) version? The samsung site didn't specify it. The SKU is SM-S908BZAGEUE. Anyone knows?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] :
Graphite 256 GB

Delivery March 9 (don't mind the extra wait for the color I want)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pdtp:
Could not get Samsung's site to respond yesterday for preorder so i went to Best Buy's site and ordered there. Got the conformation email today from Best Buy, April 1st delivery date.... and for a color i didnt really want, black. Went to Samsung's site again today, they were still saying delivery by Feb 25th so i ordered through Samsung with the color i wanted, Burgundy, and canceled the Best Buy order.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
Looks like Samsung is on the ball of processing pre-orders, my cancel button is already gone and says in process.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Geekser:
When I first tried to buy the PreOrder, I had the same result as you - but I just kept refreshing that page and eventually I got a page that offered a link to order the S22 Ultra. Order has been placed for the"BlacK" Ultra - I traded in my S21 Ultra which gave me a $700 discount..All is good - order went thru and it says I will get my order shipped by Feb 25th. (hopefully, Samsung will ship a few days early as they have done a few times in the past. :) ) Looking forward to getting the new phone, looks like it will be an awesome phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] patensas:
Additionally I wanted to stick with the S21U but got an offer I couldn't resist.

Extended my provider plan for 2 years and paid just €935,- for the S22 Ultra 12Gb/512Gb in Phantom Black. Also getting the Galaxy Buds Pro as pre-order gift. I'd say a sweet bargain for my next Samsung adventure and my return to the Note series ( sort off )

It was time for me to renew my contract and I have no plans to leave soon so I pushed the button and pre-ordered.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] samteeee:
I finally got through and ordered a 256 GB in Phantom White early Thursday morning up here in Canada.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AeroSatan:
I'm adding another $250 and getting a nice TV from them. Samsung perks can't be beat.$700 for the S21 Ultra $50 from AT&T, $250 Samsung credit, 6 months of Sirius, 4 months of YT premium Spotify premium. I mean, I really wasn't planning on upgrading, but OK
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ivanant:
Pre ordered my green S22 Ultra (via my Service provider). ETA by 2nd week of March. Can't wait :D
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] entropism:
Ended up getting a "free" 256gb S22 in green from T-Mobile by trading in a $100 note 8 I got off Swappa, and got an Ultra 256 in Burgundy (And a $200 gift card) from best buy for $400 by trading in my Flip3. Would have definitely preferred the white Ultra, but BB sold out of everything except the Burgundy and black.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
For anyone still planning to order, it's cheaper if you use the SHOP SAMSUNG app by $60! Compare the website and the app side by side. ...

well, i am working now on a theme (L'amour) like nokia one, and i have an issue with icons overlaping each other, the Hero Icon appears in tray and covers the main tray icon... please advice
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hefman:
Since your slider is transparent, the main icon will always show through. I think the only way to fix it would be to install an opaque slider or make your hero icon so that it completely obscures the tray icon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
use NisseDILLIGAF 3 icon menu..

basically it will make the Current tab icon at the bottom invisible, so you will only see the unselected tab icon..it works great

As topic states, Pixel 6/Pro can opt in to beta. The build should release at 1pm EST.

https://www.google.com/android/beta#devices
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iliya8801:
I wonder if the modem is any better.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
That's going to be the first thing I check. If it's the same January modem, I'm not going to be happy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Doug8796:
Not sure, I will let you know.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stroke55:
Ah, from beta to alpha release... Have fun! 😬 ;)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gordietm:
I think I might pass on 12L, there isn't significant difference between 12L and 12. I'm going to wait for Android 13 later this month.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Doug8796:
12L has new api and most bugs are removed. 13 will be an alpha build. I might test it, but its def entering the wild. Android 12L comes out officially next month so it could possibly be more reliable than the Feb build of the official ota.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Nice! Just enrolled. On-time updates and Beta programs, it's actually starting to feel like the Pixel experience.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
13 will be an Alpha. There have already been a couple beta builds for 12L. 13 will be way more buggy than 12L is. 13 won't be beta until the May timeframe. Early developer preview builds are really only meant for app developers or someone who wants to take a quick peak at what 13 will offer. Not meant for daily driving.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] m1ckbr1t:
Just enrolled, eagerly pressing "check for updates" :)

Here's the link to the reddit android beta sub for anyone who doesn't have it. https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I'm still curious whether or not the rumours are true that Google will "release" 12L with a Pixel foldable and/or Tablet. Usually we get solid leaks about Hardware months in advance, I highly doubt that a Pixel foldable or another device will be ready in a month.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Doug8796:
I'm enrolled and 12L beta 3 is out but no ota yet
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Doug8796:
Is there a side-loadable ota for Beta 3?

Apparently not, and you need an unlockable bootloader

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AKN_92:
I opted into the 12L beta, but still haven't gotten the update on my phone and its been way over 24 hours. I try to sideload the OTA, but I kept getting an error about the build timestamp is older or something. Anybody know how to fix this?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Are you on the 2nd February update? If so, it might be because that build is newer than the 12L Beta 3 build, I believe. You could flash the factory image.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
Or wait for the March final build but then it's not beta any longer. I'm beginning to wonder if the beta is closed due to the imminent release of the gold build. At this point I think I'd skip it unless you have a pressing need for it. I just opted out of the beta and I'm back on Feb update 2.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
My advice is to wait for the final, unless you have time on your hands. The beta has poor battery life, at least without modifications. Downgrading will wipe your phone clean.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
Good morning Road Warrior, Unfortunately, I'm on Verizon with a locked bootloader, so no real fun for me. 😞 I wish I wasn't, but here we are.

I have not received the 12L beta OTA so I'm good at this point, and will wipe my phone this weekend in the hopes of receiving better battery performance in return. Crossing my fingers! *Have a lovely day, everyone!*
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good morning. Gotcha, cool, and good luck! My battery does fine by me, in my opinion. I'm not a phone gamer, though - except maybe for a reasonably short while every 3-5 years when something I previously got tired of playing seems okay to play again. I typically only charge once per day, I only let the battery get down to 25%, and I mostly only charge up to 75%, and I never quick charge. That 50% total range lasts my usage about a day, but I know everyone's different, has different apps and usage. I don't micro-manage wake-locks or apps running in the background, or even radio toggles (Wi-Fi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, etc - I keep on all the time, anymore) although I very rarely use NFC so I keep that off.

Let us know either way if you feel it improves or not.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AKN_92:
Yes, I'm on the 2nd Feb update. Don't feel like wiping my phone again, so think I'll just wait for the official release then.

make sure u unlock your device

if u install beta 3 u will be amazed how better your pixel will get

10 hr idle the battery was still 100%, also i used the phone 14 hr and still when i came home i had 55% left
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
Only if you can unlock the bootloader, if you feel like wiping your device, and if you're lucky enough to actually get amazing battery life. Some do and many don't. So perhaps a statement like... is amazing for me... Would be more appropriate?

According to Google:

If you’re enrolling a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro that is on the latest February build SQ1D.220205.004, you will not receive an update to 12L Beta 3, but instead will receive the next upcoming beta build release in March as long as you keep your device enrolled
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
Hi Lughnasadh,

Would you happen to know if Google specified a specific date for it's release? Thank you!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
9TO5 Google says as early as next week since the Android 13 Beta program starts in April. No specific date that I've seen though.

Hopefully too much isn't changed and root still works for 12L. I don't expect there to be any probelms as 12L is basically small cosmetic changes.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
What is build number of update?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ivixmax:
what is this mate?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
I think they are talking about the new C-Band 5G Verizon just rolled out a week or 2 ago. The Pixel 6 didn't have access to it yet because it needed a software/radio update. Apparently the beta contains that update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ivixmax:
uoh nice!

Great. My phone is probably gonna blow up it's updating now lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gordietm:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ivixmax:

I pulled the OTA from system update. Still in the process of downloading and updating now. I don't have a very fast connection where I currently am.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
5G carrier aggregation might also be fixed. I wasn't able to pull data through the secondary cell before.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Just to let you guys know, they took the Beta 3 factory images and OTAs down for all the Pixels, not just the Pixel 6 series, so there may be problems with the Beta 3.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] m1ckbr1t:
I sideloaded the OTA and everything seems fine to me...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jcp2:
root afterwards?

Also I'm sure the font is different and there is a little animation around fingerprint scanner when unlocking that I've never seen before also it just seems cleaner and smoother.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ivixmax:
it seems the animations are more friendly and smotthy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stevendeb25:
The animation when unlocking the Pixel 6 via the under-screen fingerprint scanner has changed. it now has a wave-like animation that walks around the scanner.

The number of Quick Settings columns on large screen devices has been increased to 3 (when not in landscape mode).

New modem seems to prefer NR SA less than before.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Umm. Was VoNR added?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
In short, yes.

A12 Feb Modem:

(bootloader) version-baseband:g5123b-93368-211225-B-8029609

A12L Beta 3 Modem:

(bootloader) version-baseband:g5123b-97927-220126-B-8118856

Unsure of the differences though.

Bootloader is also updated from:

version-bootloader:slider-1.0-8062051

to

version-bootloader:slider-1.1-8118264

Latest bootloader seems to give more info when using the "getvar all" command, for example v1.1 now gives information on storage:

storage-capacity:256 GB
(bootloader) storage-model:HN8T15BZGKX016
(bootloader) storage-protocol:3.1
(bootloader) storage-rev:G001
(bootloader) storage-serialno:N/A
(bootloader) storage-vendor:SKhynix

Which was only provided in fastbootd beforehand (if I remember correctly).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
The modem was updated and behaves somewhat differently from Feb.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Doug8796:
Getting much better battery life and mobile data speeds.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ivixmax:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TonikJDK:
So far, zero issues with it or any apps.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] t0m2k:
First time pixel beta user. At the moment I'm on latest Feb build p6p. If I'm gonna flash the ota beta build file via sideload, I'm gonna keep my data. Just like normal update flash?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
It seems like it was! It definitely wasn't in the SIM settings panel before this beta update.

But also, you're presumably correct about the NR SA usage with this modem update as I am getting around 20mb/s down on 5G in the same location where I previously got no higher than 5mb/s down lol.

Lastly, I hope that I see the same improvement in the brightness auto-adjust that @Ivixmax mentioned. As my display would often shoot to near-minimum brightness for 10-15 seconds before correcting itself (in medium-lit environments).

*Edit* - Just noticed that the haptic feedback seems to be a little sharper now and also occurs in more situations. I used to love the haptic feedback on my Pixel 3XL, so hopefully it keeps getting closer on this phone!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TonikJDK:
Correct, sideloading an OTA does not wipe data.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
Anyone got YouTube Vanced working with 12L? Vanced Manager won't install it (edit: root version, non-root version seems to work fine).

Edit2

: seems this is caused by the bundled YT app being newer than Vanced can patch.

I fixed by downloading the official 16.29.39 apk (from apkmirror), then downgrading to it by running:

adb install -d -r <path to downloaded .apk>

I was then able to install YT Vanced (root) inside of Vanced Manager.

Hope that helps anyone having the same issue 👍

edit3: this doesn't stick upon reboot... a magisk module with this apk might work, but don't have time to test yet.
