I think you're the one who doesn't have a life, commenting a thread you don't even care about every few days, discussing with people that you think are dumb

1. Most of us doesn't hate the phone at all, it's the opposite, we love if for everything apart of his performances. That's why we're keeping it, hoping for a software update because a flagship just cannot perform this bad. Now a lot of us are stuck with no return possible, because Samsung basically says that the phone has no issues. So we're trying to figure it out by ourselves in this thread. What's the issue with that? It's still easier and less time consuming than selling it. If only I could find another phone that suits me better.

2. If people doesnt sell it for another phone, it might be because it still has no competitor on android. Oneplus 10 is great, but sucks in photography compared to the s22 ultra, both in consistency and flexibility. The Pixel 6 pro is great, but I hate the software because it is too limited in terms of functionalities. It still doesn't have pro mode in the camera app which is a problem for me. If any other flagship out there was better or at least as good as the 22 ultra (for my personal tastes) I would definitely take it.

So this thread isn't pointless, but you're messages are. Im glad that your phone is performing well, enjoy it instead !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Samsung seems to be limiting both now. No SD card slot severely limits your options especially with backup.

The variable refresh rate displays continue to be a source of issues and failures at a higher rate than is acceptable. Not just on this model or brand. Google Android is part of the problem, Android 11/12... I wouldn't touch them.

Both Samsung and Google Android are fragmented now with more hype than rubber on the asphalt.

Google's hype that they care about your privacy *snicker* and in that name force scoped storage down our throats at the cost of functionality and ease of use. I don't need protection from known good vetted apps.

Samsung's ridiculous claim that most hold these phones in their right hand rather owing up to the fact that maybe the spen placement may no longer be optimum. You don't need an SD card as you have all the battery sucking 5G cloud storage you need... try restoring 700+gb with cloud or from the PC, etc during a reload. Lol, my OS drive loads are always small to make reloading/cloning easier; critical data should be on the data drive(s).

Making excuses rather than implementing designs and technologies that excel is how both are now managing their products.

They believe the peasants will gladly except whatever cakes they chose to give them...

Samsung and Google Android use to be the Apple alternatives, now they just bad Apples.

I'm disgusted with both Samsung and Android.

Have rejected both their products for 2 years running now... they're fubar. *blah*
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
Wow man, you should be a writer !

I read your post twice, but i am not clear what you wanted to say. Long read about how is samsung and android bad, and at the end you claim that you hate them and not using them. And now what ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Don't get me wrong I love this phone. Features gallore. However the forbidden apple device I used before this was much more smooth. Using the pixel 6 pro have me that some smoothness feeling but with buggy 1st Gen issues. The last device that felt polished to me was the s20 ultra. I still have faith Samsung can fix this. But when I go to wake my screen and have to swipe up 6 times to go home and wait 20 seconds to go to Google pay because the phone is lagging, that's when I start getting depressed lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
I feel you. Never owned a Samsung that didn't need optimizing. On a new model this task can be daunting. Setting changes and finding workarounds when needed take time and energy.

It's impossible to truly enjoy the device until you do. Play with it...

I have 2 N10+'s with 12gb of ram, 4G only and of course no variable refresh rate.

What I do have are 2 snappy fast work horses with a superb color rendering index and white point that fullfill their mission, part of which is not pi$$ing me off. They both get excellent battery life. I rejected the N20U although it was a close toss up; the N10+ won out in the end. The oldest heavily used N10+ looks and runs like new with a replacement battery being it's only repair. Displays failures on the N10+'s are almost unheard of, this changed starting with the N20U.

I'm running on Android 9 and 10. With 10 I see some loss of functionality and the dozens of small Samsung system apks that had to be added to make 10 user friendly compared to 9.

Otherwise both look and run almost identically.

Oddly the package disable list is nearly identical for both.

Starting with Android 11 even Samsung couldn't compensate for the loss of functionality and usability entirely.

Therefore both will remain on their current firmware most likely for their entire service lives. Security has not been an issue. Current OS load will be 2 yo this June, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. This is what Android flagships are or should be capable of.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
What a shame... I read the same on Reddit, that's why I'm don't really want to send it back, that will be my last resort.

To update you with the phone, I've reset it 24h ago, after the April update. I didn't restore anything through Google account nor smartswitch, just pictures, sms, contacts and documents. Nothing related with settings or apps. The last time I did a factory reset, I did it with a full smartswitch backup.

And... I got to say that the phone is performing much better now. Like it has never performed for me. It's not perfect yet, there's still some small hiccups sometimes but it is pretty rare. Most of the time the device is perfectly fluid. However, it still throttle a little when you do demanding tasks for cpu, like downloading and updating a bunch of apps, it gets hot and slows down a little. But not as bad as before and more importantly, never with light usage like navigating between browser, social medias, etc.

I don't know what's happening with this device lol. When I was trying to backup everything yesterday, the phone suddenly started to reboot randomly , at the point where it was almost unusable : it would reboot right after I started any app. I let it cool down, it was better but then rebooted again while doing a WhatsApp save. Almost a boot loop, provoked by... nothing Reminded me with old custom roms flashing...but here everything is stock lol

i had another random reboot after the reset, just after installing a YouTube vanced alternative app. Don't know if it's related.

It's still 24h and I didn't re download all of my apps but it's doing very good. I'll update you if it goes wrong again.

One strange thing I've been doing to test if the phone is in a "slowdown moment" is to clear all recent apps, then open parameters, then device management, and battery. The more the phone was struggling, the more time it took to show the graph. I've never had instantaneous showing of the graph before, now it is instantaneous after reset. Very weird but it seemed very related with the global slowness of the phone and its processing speed. I've started to look at this when comparing to a s21 that was loading it instantly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
You are what you load. A "random" reboot is massive instability.

Find the 3rd app(s) responsible (if that's the cause) and take out the trash before they boot loop you.

WhatsApp is malware; any social media app that can't used entirely by browser like fb shouldn't be used. Installing social media apps is just asking for trouble.

My view of things, do what you will... actions have consequences.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Stop saying bull****, '' Social media apps is just asking for trouble.. ''. Tell this to iPhone 13 Pro Max users with 12h SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
Social media apps is just asking for trouble............it's true. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
I like booty and chocolate, it's true.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
No social media apps (Signal for messaging) and a mild de-bloat. Not a power user but the phone is fast and stable with 26 hours of battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
I like the chocolate booty.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Yo San Diego, do you work for Samsung or somebody in your family does and they don't like the bad publicity of the crappy Exynos Chip? If members wanna run this thread up to 1000 pages it's their choice and you really have no say in it whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JaySoul:
Exactly....

This specific Exynos chip clearly has major problems when compared to the SnapDragon one.

We have spent massive amounts of money on these phones, Samsung is a gigantic corporation....

They need to do the right thing. Don't shift the blame onto us.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
If finding the responsible app (if there's any, can't be sure that it isn't on samsung's software side) was easy, I would have done it lol. I never had such issues with same apps and previous devices (s21 ultra, pixel 6, oppo find x3 pro), so there's something wrong with this specific phone. I have a lot of installed apps, going through all of them is almost impossible since these crashes started to happen just randomly, never had these crashes in 1 month of utilization. Also I didn't install any new app, so I doubt an app was causing it, or at least it's impossible to say.

Lol a smartphone is made to use apps, social medias being part of it. I know they're bad in terms of optimization, background consumption etc but I can't just get rid of it, I need them for messaging. The world won't shift to better messaging apps because I don't want to use them...

The purpose of a smartphone is to be easy to use and versatile. I won't cut what makes it convenient just to get good performances, the problem is on samsung's side not the user. As I said, never had such issues with my previous phones, in years. I agree that it's personal, but you can't blame the user for bad performances of a phone because they use very common social medias apps. A phone is done to run them without issues
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
I didn't say it was easy. It can be quit a pain and some never find the cause.

One reason I'm careful about what I install.

Someone told you that social media apps on your phone was a good thing.

They lied.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Do you have laggy performance on the 12gb varaint?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I have unfortunately specially if I set it to Qhd screen...what is funny tho 2 days phone runs ok is then next day just runs rubbish.i also start having unresponsive screen it just freezing for 10 seconds before it works again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Ohh I was thinking about selling the 8hb for the 12gb to solve the lag issues I have... Damn
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I can't tell people what to do but my experience is just mixed bag..and I'm loosing my hope that samsung can fix all this mess with a software update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mcsti:
My experience so far with Exynos is a mixed bag as well however I still believe most of these issues are fixable via software updates... For example when I swipe from one screen to the other I see stutter from time to time but if I use Nova Launcher (tried Poco as well with same good results) I see zero stutter... Just my experience so far... Battery life though is still no good for me but I am struggling to convince myself to factory reset to see, I think I' ll do my best to try to wait until the next big hardware release😁
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Android 12 isn't able to manage the complexities in OneUI 4.0 or 4.1. On top of that throw in a flawed Exynos SoC. I concur, these conflicts may never be resolved.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
But what I don't understand is if Android 12 is the main problem why its not the case with my s21 ultra its as smooth as butter except twitter scrolling 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
That's because every device is setup different and some exynos chipsets function well and some don't. Certain apps like Twitter aren't in sync with the device's software. Android 12 has conflicts in numerous brands, not just Samsung. If one assumes all of the issues are caused by the exynos chip that makes no sense, it's not a plausible explanation. Samsung has had months to sort these issues out but what are we still reading? Software Updates solved some problems but it's also creating new conflicts. I don't recall any previous Samsung releases excluding the Note 7 being this problematic. Some users state they have no issues but the amount of users with ongoing problems is very high.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
I don't think it's an A12 problem or a OneUI problem I think its the way the Exynos is interacting with the software, perhaps kernel or drivers or something. I've said before, the Zfold3 with the Sd888 and OneUI 4.1 is fast and smooth with no issues. My Pixel 6 Pro had the same stutter issues (Twitter was awful and it drove me crazy! ) and it basically has an Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
My point is just that we shouldn't be careful when installing most used and mainstream apps especially with a flagship phone. If these mainstream apps like social medias are causing these performances problem, the fault is clearly on Samsung not on the apps because it isn't happening on other devices. But it still needs to be demonstrated that these apps cause it.

Since my last reset, the phone is running much better like it never did before. With the exact same apps installed and configured. So....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Many are having issues with Android 12, not just Samsung users. Those social media apps are a mess which doesn't help one bit.

No good will come from those apps; caught in the web and easy prey.

The apps? People are trouble... PT Barnum would have wuved internet social media🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Then how can you explain why SD equipped devices are suffering conflicts after updating, SD chips are flawed as well? Sorry, that dog don't hunt.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Today I had to wait 15 minutes to finally leave my house because my maps application would force close and made the phone super laggy. My girlfriend proceeded to show me how fast she could pull up her maps and navigate to where we're going in under 15 seconds. The phone is a BEAST👍
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
1 week after April update my phone seem to work really bad.i don't know what is wrong with it it just lagging stuttering and freezing more.no new apps installed its same as last week but performance is nearly 30-40%less.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] LaughinBones:
Hello, not sure this is the right place, but are there instructions anywhere to set up a new S22U for battery and performance optimization? I am coming from a Note 8.

Thread '[GUIDE] [NO-ROOT] Complete Samsung OneUI Optimization' https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-no-root-complete-samsung-oneui-optimization.4376755/
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Not recommended. It can cause erratic behaviors...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
For my device it seems to be a topic with the variable refresh rate. I just wanted to watch a video with 25 fps and the display was automatically switched to 24 Hz. For sure this mismatch is visible in stuttering. Using the integrated "video-player" app or vlc makes no difference. So the phone decides to use unsuitable refresh rates even with preinstalled apps.

If I manually switch to 60 Hz the video plays smooth with both player apps.

So the variable refresh rate feature is a not intelligent stepwise refreshrate switch that can destroy visible smoothness.

My Antutu benchmark results are pretty fine, so the overall processing power cannot be the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vendetta17:
I reached same conclusion. If i switch screen refresh rate to 60 hz, apps switch faster with no notable lags like it happens with the adaptive refresh rate setting ( of course, only problem is that i dont like 60 hz screen) . So, yes, i consider there is a problem with that setting.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
Do you experience stuttering while navigating through the UI or just in videos ? If it's in the UI also, you should try the max hz app on xda. I've tried it and forced 96hz to be the lower adaptative refresh rate could go, and it didn't solve the stutters for me, so I concluded it wasn't the issue.

Did you try to open several apps in a row (like 10-12 apps a bit demanding like camera, waiting for each to open) like you would do for a speed test ? This is where mine struggles a lot, it becomes very hot while doing this and starts to slow down a lot. I don't do speed tests lol but this slowness appears while using the phone for regular use, after using it for a certain period of times, while navigating through different apps. I could reproduce the bad performances by doing this "speed test" thing. Here again I don't think it's refresh rate related, but that's only my case.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
Maybe it's just because 60hz is less demanding for the processor. The same behaviour appeared with people lowering resolution but keeping 120hz. I really believe it is performance related. Still I might be wrong
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DeHAWK:
OK guys, Antutu 1st place taken. And this on Exynos EU model. Not rooted, only a few apps disabled, FHD+, up to 120 HZ. This phone just gets better and better and this on the latest update. I really don't know why you guys want SD version. This exynos model crunches them all.

Best regards and a good weekend.

DeHAWK
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Proof?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Nice, what did you disable in particular?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rockstarqwest9:
Its because they need to optimize everything for the phone. It is very new, and apps can be unoptimized.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DeHAWK:
Yep, proof showed. Not much to say, except I've nothing to complain about. As said before, I've got myself a golden device.

Regards DeHAWK
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DeHAWK:
Hi bro

Not much, found out that if disabling to much my score dropped dramatically, both on GB5 and Antutu. So I just left it standard.

Regards DeHAWK
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Yeap... less *****in, more optimizing🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DeHAWK:
Yep, but as you see GPU and UX still need to be optimized. A loot has happened with the latest update, but it can get better. CPU and MEM are superior. But as I've said before; Sammy will fix it, but this doesn't mean you get 1st place. It all depends on silicone.

Regards DeHAWK
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
This is my best score at the moment. Havent touched too much as the phone has always been great for me, never had an issue. Hopefully Samsung can optimize the phone soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DeHAWK:
Hi bro

Why can't I see it in Antutu ...?

It doesn't show up.😳

Regards DeHAWK
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Im not sure how it works though, because I have never seen an actual leaderboard on Antutu except the generic one they have. For example I cant see your score on my app. It doesnt seem to be a live leaderboard.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DeHAWK:
Hi bro

My version is 9.3.1. Got it updated from Samsung store. But as I remember I first got it from Antutu.Com.

9.3.1 seems to be the latest version.

You wil not find it Play Store.

You need to install it from the link above...as far as I remember.

Regards DeHAWK
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Check again, latest version is 9.3.5
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
Not really. But in bigger news pages like "www.n-tv.de" loaded in opera browser, I can see a bit stuttering when I am scrolling fast and contents are not yet loaded. But I would say this is normal.

Maybe my apps are not demanding enough. If I switch between Camera, Opera, vlc, Orux, Sternatlas, GPSTest, Phone Settings... I do not seem to have issues. Or I am less sensitive regarding UI lags.

If you like to cheat a bit, you can put your device to 12°C, then you will manage more than 1000000 Antutu score. (Not kidding!)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
I'm thinking is a Exynos chip problem, i don't think Samsung can fix it with software updates if it's a hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Note 10+ vs S22U... you ain't gonna like the ending.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Tysss:
So this is gonna sound incredibly weird, but I've found something...

I got my replacement Galaxy S22 last week, and I've been able to get EXCEPTIONAL battery life by doing the following:

1. Factory reset the phone

2. Set up as normal, except:

3. When it gets to "finishing setting up your phone" and downloads a **** load of apps you don't want, restart the phone

4. When it starts again, go to Play Store in the apps menu and clear the data

I dunno if this is just a huge coincidence of fluke, but I'm now not losing like 5% of battery every hour when doing nothing...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
Possible the Kernel is not allowing for the proper power draw. This was uncapped for the S8+ in some custom kernels. 3 minute difference is not logical for nearly 2x the input. Likely a an update at least can solve this, and I assume this is the Enyox devices.

Most of these people benchmarking things leave out relevant information.
