[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheAd0:
I was ready to update from my S10+, but Exynos being extra terrible this year, I will pass.

What other Android flagships can match it?

https://www.phonearena.com/news/samsung-claims-yields-are-improving_id139141 - Samsung has issues with SD too.

I was considering oppo find pro x5

I don't want to go through the hassle of getting a TSMC made SD in the summer ...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] chloeleedow:
I'm confident using it but if you could throw a list together or if anyone else could this is by far my preferred method to actually uninstall using this and make a backup incase things start falling over but usually someone's made a fairly comprehensive safe list of what can be stopped or I installed altogether. Although this phone is new so I don't expect heaps don't so far especially given there is so many different models for different areas of the world now too. I think i actually prefer snapdragon socs, I dunno I'm just glad I share the same firmware zone as Indonesia so I can get call recording and keep all my VoLTE and tap and pay banking and even RCS text messages without having to use Google messages like the s20 and note 20 ultra I've just moved from. The note 20 ultra and even the s20 base phone definitely had better display options and high pixel density too like wow wtf samsung. I loved the flat shape of this phone or I'd never have bought it and that's the honest truth, I loved the sd card support of the s20s and note 20 but hated the curved edges of the note and massive square shape 🤮 was a drop and smash waiting to happen 😂 Sorry got a bit carried away but yeah if you have a list of apps that you've found to be beneficial stopping or removing I'm all ears thankyou! 😊

Think we have the flagship we were supposed to have now, I can only seen to keep one app open for quick launch from the recents menu it was like that on the last update 2, anyone spade the same???
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Temperature seems cooler after this update although it's still warm when on network. Seems a bit better though in terms of fluidity. It's getting there.

Yep my phone is like a rocket now, even compared to my S2 which I still have, good trade in program alright lol, it's only gonna get better too

Mine has ZERO LAG from the getgo.

Please ban this guy.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
What is your problem?

You know we're talking about Exynos here,right? Seems you have the SD version.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Everything good at home bro? You iight?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
Off meds maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ‬1‬:
Sure. They are also on their way to burn my house because of my opinion here.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
I think the Exynos is getting too hot, quickly. From what I'm seeing, after some general use, it ramps up to 40degC+ and then starts throttling which cause lag and stutters.

I wonder if Samsung are trying to stop the phone from heating quickly by limiting touch boost frequencies so the phone stutters even at lower temperatures. That doesn't really explain how some apps are smooth (like Sync for Reddit) but others are a stuttering mess like Twitter. The performance of this phone is so annoying when you see how the SdGen1 version performs.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Mine is running grand after that last update, it's only gonna get better from now on anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
It's running better for me but compared to my Zfold3 it's still quite a bit behind the fluidity and heating of that. I hope it does get better because I love it otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
It does feel better with the latest AVDA update but still not usable with qhd..tried it few hours with qhd than switched back to fhd+ it's a shame we pay for qhd screen but can't use it 😢.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
QHD shouldn't be making it unusable though, it's got a powerful GPU. It's not like we're back with the SD805 which had problems rendering QHD. What's going on with it?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
I've mine on QHD all the time and I might get say 1 small stutter a day, it's totally usable and snappy
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Yes I agree with you 💯 % but unfortunately for me it's the case...lots of frame drops and lots of micro lags with qhd.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] infrasonic13:
Hi guys,

I bought the phone 2 days ago 128/8gb exy****... (Bulgaria)

It is supper laggy while scrolling in play store, browser, also sometimes ( very often ) it is lagging in the system UI.

I have 28 days to return it. Maybe I will wait for one more update.

I sold my Z Fold 3 but it was WAY better performance wide.

I am so disappointed ... and maybe these issues cannot be fixed by an update because its been two months now and still they can't find a solution .
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I'm guessing you're on the latest AVDA software..if that's the case yes there is no hope being honest with you mate.i had the phone since day one samsung fixed lots of issues but it's still no way near last year's s21 ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] infrasonic13:
Yes, AVDA update. I am really passed off.

Maybe they are working on it and I hope at the end of May every single laggy **** will be fixed.

My wife's 12 Pro iPhone feels like a decade in front.

Fingers crossed, I will give it one more update
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Yeah give it a one more update but don't keep your hopes high as I said my 1 year old s21 ultra with Qhd screen works smoothly vs My s22 ultra with Fhd screen..if I turn on Qhd on s22 ultra I just feel like to smash it on the floor unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Hmmm...

I have the S22U 512GB (Verizon) and it's fast and smooth. The display is set to the highest setting (WQHD+). I'm also getting pretty good battery life. I enabled Developer mode and set animations to .5x.

I use Microsoft Launcher, which is lighter on system resource usage.

Not only are there performance differences between the Exynos and Snap Dragon variants, there are also significant performance differences between the 128GB and 512GB variants; which has to do with larger capacity SSDs performing better than lower capacity devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
Snapdragon here, I have the 256Gb model. It's smooth in the apps you mentioned and the browser (no issues there). But Reddit and Twitter lag when scrolling. Really unacceptable on devices this strong to lag and stutter in the most basic tasks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vlubosh:
Its because of 8GB RAM, versions with 12 GB RAM working like charm, no mentioned issues. Look in to memory management how much free RAM you hlave without and with clean option
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
I have 12gb/512 Exynos and performance is ok but it's not great. I'd say it's unacceptable for a flagship of the price of the S22u.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
That's an app issue. I had the same performance with those apps that you mentioned on my old Note 10+ 5G. If it's smooth on some apps and choppy on others, it's a problem with the app, not the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
That's an app issue. I had the same performance with those apps that you mentioned on my old Note 10+ 5G. If it's smooth on some apps and choppy on others, it's a problem with the app, not the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vlubosh:
I have 12/256 exy and i dont have any performance issue, just a poor battery life(charging every morning- average sot 5h)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
The problem I have with it is that for eg my Zfold3 is smoother and faster than it and doesn't heat up as much. From memory, I don't remember my s21u being as stuttery or even heating as much. After a few mins use on 5g or even network and the S22u is hitting 40degC and throttling heavily(funnily similar to the Pixel 6 Pro) Day to day it's *generally* ok but it's definitely not as smooth as a lot of phones I've used in the past year and when I've paid £1350 for this phone I want it to be the best. It's annoying for me because I love everything else about it. The form factor and build/display are fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
Seems like a lot of speculation to me. There have been people with S22u/8GB of ram who have posted their performance is fine. If Windows can run in 8GB of ram I'm sure Android can too. Ever wonder why you can't see any Android OS task performance details but you can on Windows? Lots of stuff going on in Android you just can't see it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Trust me, send back your phone, now that you're still in time. I couldn't and I had to sell my S22u exynos 8/128 for about 300 euros less. Luckily I found a guy that sold me an imported snapdragon version, still 8/128 but performance are really great. Everything is smooth. Some lags sometimes but still waaaay better. At least this is a phone I can really stand with for some years. My old exynos s22u was even worse than my even older s9...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Was reading the Samsung forum about S22U owners experiencing lag. After about a half dozens posts Samsung responded.

The excellent Samsung tech support I have come to expect. not.

You can try disabling the virtual memory... then load up the ram with multiple apps and see what happens. With 12gb of fast ram that shouldn't even noticeably impact it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
I know this is besides the actual performance topic this thread is about, but I found it hilarious and a little annoying because it's a sign that we got ****ed by samsung, and that's that. I also don't know if it's like this in other countries but here comes the kicker, I've looked through most German based retailers and shops online and none of them seem to mention refresh rates for the phones, at least not the s22 ultra, the most that you'll find is that they've written it has "120hz adaptive refresh rate", but that's in most cases and but no one even dares to write a range of the adaptive frequencies, not to mention since feb/march there haven't even been mentions about it and the topic is dead despite no actual answers. Actually fuming over this since I've decided that after all the years of loyalty to top tier Xiaomi phones I'd go and try a top tier samsung phone since my last samsung phone the galaxy s3...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] infrasonic13:
I've replaced my 128/8 GB version with 256/12GB version and the phone is running pretty sweet.

I think it is important to get lucky because otherwise you will have a laggy phone.

Since I changed the phone I can say it is a much smoother experience but still not the best.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
They should ditch this RAM Plus nonsense
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Went from 4gb of RAM Plus to 6gb and it seems a little smoother now.

Unfortunately for me there's just no fluency, my S21U ran smoother than this, keyboard feels sluggish, animations feel slow, app switching is laggy, just not the experience I expected.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
The software on S21 had 1 year and 4 months to get optimized. S22 had 2-3 months. It'll be better. Like always. Patience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Yeah be patience in 1 year you have s23 ultra 🤣🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
It took a few months til the S21 was smooth and overall great.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I had the s21 ultra since day 1 it had its own problems like heating while using the cameras etc but no Lagg or frame drops while pulling notifications panel or switching apps...while using the phone in qhd screen believe me this phone feels like £229 phone.i like Samsung alot but this exynos...... is not acceptable anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
To be fair, the s21u was pretty rubbish when I got it and the August update which was supposed to be OneUI 3.1 really improved it.

That's not to say the same will happen with the S22u because you just can't rely on that happening. Who knows whether the S22u will get a similar performance improvement?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
If Exynos is garbage for a phone over 1,000 no i would return it there's no excuse for a flagship phone to have these issues out the box, or not ever buy it, but Since I'm Snapdragon AT&T S22 Ultra 5G 512GB super fast so definitely i pay over a 1,000 cause This thing is a beast right out the box, do feel bad for those on Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Iceman_CZ:
S22 Ultra EXYNOS 512/12GB is the worst Samsung's flagship what I owned and I almost had all of them from S series before.

So poor UI and lagging performance I really starting to hate it. Battery performance I have to charge twice during working day! I'm not a mobile gamer at all. Hopefully Samsung will finally fix it with May update as already delayed as too many problems overall with crappy Exynos this year. On top of it 45W charging it is a joke 😡
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheInfiniteAndroid:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dpoverlord:
Oddly my SwiftKey keyboard lags more than it ever did ony note 8.

Same goes for Google messages and everything that goes with it.

Has anyone found any solution as to why we have so much lag? Just typing this it's like an 1/8th of a second delay.

I'm a 1tb S22 and at a loss of what's causing the lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
It's Samsung's OneUI 4.1 integration with Android 12. Android 12 is still a mess and OneUI 4.1 is a patchwork skin with various non native apps.

"Samsung's software is easily the worst part of the company's phones. Samsung builds decent hardware and then treats its software package like a dumping ground, piling all of Samsung's apps and software on top of Google's apps and software, then loading the phone down with ads and spam notifications. The company refuses to adopt modern Android features, and then there are bizarre features like app throttling. Samsung's phone software can make you feel like you're being pulled in different directions by the various business interests of Samsung, Google, and whichever other companies Samsung sold parts of your app drawer to. A good user experience is almost impossible in this kind of environment."
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Akkieden:
If it helps anyone bcz it did for me. Try disabling adaptive brightness on exynos version. It fixes the micro stutters during transitions. Specially while swiping for Google page and status bar.

It did work for me and I tested this for 2 days. I just wanted to be sure that it wasn't just for sometime.

I think Samsung hasn't optimised the adaptive brightness on exynos. Whenever it reaches high brightness. The transitions start to stutter badly and the phone becomes hot. It may be due to the phone is constantly processing the sensor data and as it is not optimised it somehow affects the transitions causing stutters.

Also you guys can try putting the slider on high brightness and test the transitions.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Cool thanks I'll give it a try, I only got my S22 ultra back today, the speaker was crackling badly and has to send it back to replace the bottom speaker

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cmfCyangenModteam:
Its maybe System problem inside.

Or its problems of phone details inside.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Wow... unbelievable.

Lmao, the new N20U owners where probably too preoccupied with the cam hump to notice🤣

I would have been pi$$ed.

Was considering the N20U but blew it off for a new N10+, however I was unaware of this. But it's true and here's their insane excuse for doing it:

"This time around, the S Pen is placed on the bottom left of the phone, which Samsung representatives claim is a better placement for people to pull it out as they found most people held the phone on their right hand."

Samsung, they are morons. Only left hand people hold a phone this big in their right hand.

With that kind of leadership I fully understand why Samsung is screwing up all their flagship releases. At least they're consistent.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Don't forget the phone is constantly charging the Pen to keep it topped off for when you need it for a camera remote.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The spen uses almost no battery. It's app itself uses far more than the its bt transmitter and supercapacitor charging circuits. Once the supercapacitor is topped off in less then a minute the circuit uses almost no power. Because it uses a supercapacitor for power not a battery it should last for the lifespan of the phone... unless you break it.

This is a slick, mature technology that adds far more cost than the SD card slot.

"Samsung estimates it uses 0.5mAh per full charge. In other words, S Pen shouldn’t affect your battery life at all, even if super-capacitors slowly lose charge over time. For reference, 0.5mAh is 1/9,000th of the 4,500mAh battery in the Note 20 Ultra."

*Supercapacitors, have a lifespan ranging from 100,000 to a million cycles.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
If I had an S22 Ultra which side the S-Pen was on would be the least of my concerns. It has far more weighty issues than that. If you have one and it's not lagging, overheating, throttling or experiencing rapid battery drain consider yourself blessed.

Per ExtremeTech:

Ice Universe says the company is scrambling to address heat issues of the S22. The Exynos 2200’s RDNA2 GPU cores are allegedly supposed to run at 1.9GHz, but thermal performance begins to dip considerably at just 1.29GHz. The idea is to enhance gaming performance with RDNA2, but this could do the opposite. This has supposedly led to recriminations across the company as the S22 launch closes in and management looks for someone to blame.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Well that good to know. Let's hope all these lag issues can be fixed with firnware updates and Android 12 updates.

I have 2 N10+'s which are just sublime. Bought the second one new ($800) 4 months or so ago and basically dug in for the next 2-3 years until hopefully Samsung and Android get their collective tihs together. I also have a S4+, it lasted 4 years... still boots.

I don't believe in rewarding poor performance or inferior design. Since the N10+ release the Samsung flagship phones have gotten progressively more fragmented to the point where even the Note name was back shelved. Inept leadership taking blind stabs in the dark, pathetic.

Failure to impress in a favorable way, not hate🤣

Just got my s22 Ultra on the 18th and its super laggy with UI. Especially when you open a folder on homescreen and scroll from left to right very slowly, you will see a weird jitter. My s21 ultra did not have this at all

I have an att model s22 ultra

model number sm-s908u

however when i use my spen in the same problem areas the problem goes away completely

Id like to add that i think the laggy s22 ultras are from carriers only because i went into the att store and was able to replicate the same exact experience i was having on their s22 ultra. Shortly after that i went over to bestbuy to test out the unlocked models and everything was perfectly fine with those !!!

stay away from these carrier model phones !!!!!! this is what im learning from this whole experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] freebee269:
I wonder if the u1 firmware will fix the issue when they come out? That’s the firmware with no carrier bloat.

Everybody here needs to know this is only on Exynos, My Snapdragon and a bunch has no lag at all running like beast, Just clarification that way people don't get confused, again only EXYNOS bad very bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
It may well be as Samsung's Android flavor is heavily customized out of the box. I wouldn't want a Samsung that looked and acted like a Pixel.

Android 12 is no darling though and problems aren't isolated to just Samsung by a long shot. The Google hype of a new OS every year is wasteful and pure Nike like marketing hype. It's the end users and developers who get boned by this endless cycle of premature change.
