Exynos devices are far more problematic than Snapdragon equipped devices but some Snapdragon users are reporting issues as well. These are trending towards software (Android 12's messy integration with OneUI 4.0/4.1) which reflects ongoing conflicts even after the most recent update. Unfortunately Exynos devices are dealing with the same software defects plus hardware deficiencies inherent with the 2200/AMD chipset. I can't help but think Samsung can't ignore the reality of producing devices with competing chipsets isn't worth whatever additional revenue it earns.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MarkosMarkouG:
Are you also having random restarts during the day?

I am having exactly the same issues and my vendor has received it back twice and says they can't find anything wrong with the hardware but I am really losing my patience here.

I get almost 10-15 reboots per day and often crashes on the UI AFTER Factory reset and clean install of applications one by one.

At this point, I am really considering asking for my money back and choosing another phone to continue with
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
Could you explain what you did exactly ? You just flashed the same firmware you already had through odin? Did you read somewhere that it could fix the lags ?

To give you guys an update, I tried to factory reset. Unfortunately it didn't change anything for me. When restoring my smart switch backup the phone was like very laggy, some apps would crash and other like Samsung browser were extremely slow. I still get the lags, stutter, terrible delays for some actions, the phone is still incredibly slow when unlocking, getting home from camera, switching camera from rear to front, etc...

Just to share my experience, I also have an issue with messenger. When I didn't use it since a few minutes or an hour, when I click a message notification, there's a big delay of 5-6 seconds before it opens. Don't know if you're experiencing the same issue. Another thing i can't get rid of is the stutter when opening the notifications and quick toggles. It stutters almost every time, sometimes more than other. It also seems that when I do it repeatedly it disappears and start to be fluid.

I really can't understand what's going on with this device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Unfortunately after using the device couple of hours lag and shutter came back. If you want to know how to flash rom I can create a tutorial but in my experience it didn't solved any of the problems and flashing rom is not a easy task if you don't have experience.

It looks like this problem is related with hardware or low level android 12 bugs some kind of maybe.

I will recommend to stay away exynos s22 ultra especially the 8 GB version. I didn't even know s22 ultra 128GB version come with 8GB I noticed after I got the phone 😅

Ridiculous!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
OK thanks. I've already had this kind of hopes lol, sometimes the phone is really fluid for a day or so, then stutters fest come back lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Based on everything i am seeing in this thread. i think doing a factory reset and setting up device fresh without any restore is the best option for better overall performance. I don't think its a Samsung issue, its more of a google issue.

It would take a couple of updates to sort issues out.

I took the plunge and factory rest my snapdragon variant because i wasn't getting past 5hrs of screen on time.

So i am currently testing and so far the fluidity is awesome. I will report back on how it progresses.

Try to also increase your virtual ram. The phone gets faster.

You guys need to remember we faced these isssues with the s21 ultra and it got better with each update.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
You have a point. I also used Pixel 6 Pro and UI lag had it too. I believe now with Android 12.1 it is better at least what I read from forums.

I also have a Fold 3 and it is much more better than s22 ultra. My 22 ultra is a real pain. Samsung internet is laggy, camera app is laggy, twitter, gallery, S-Pen with notes laggy. Sometimes it works like a charm (when device is cool) sometimes it works like 4GB android phone. Really strange.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
I watch your youtube recording and i am also from germany. Your 22 ultra is the exact problems I have. Did you find any solution other than fhd+ resolution drop.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lukreaner:
For me setting Ram+ to 8gb helped a bit. The device will still get laggy but cleaning the memory in Memory Guardian in the Good Guardians app does help. If it gets really bad restarting the device helps. I did not yet found a permanent solution 😞
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] flogger:
I get restarts after the frequent freezes when unlocking the screen. It hangs for 15 seconds. Sometime it recovers, sometimes it doesnt. I'm not so sure

I think I'm suceeding in not having them by changing the res to FHD+ and changing the Motion Smoothness to Standard.

Could it be that new thing of dynamic refresh rates with wqhd+ that doesnt work so well. Not so dynamic after all.....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
OK thanks for the update 👍
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xaznxplaya:
Does someone have a brief summary of this topic? I didn't go through all the pages. I'm having similar issues with my S22U, one of the game I'm playing is very laggish.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
I see a lot of people blaming Android 12 and OneUI 4.1 but my Zfold3 on OneUI 4.1 runs absolutely fine and has no lag or stutter in Twitter or anything. The s21u Exynos I have beside it is a mess in comparison. It can't be OneUI 4.1 it has to be something with perhaps the Exynos optimization or its just a trash SOC which tbh wouldn't surprise me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Summary of the this topic is:

Factory reset made lag gone for few hours or days but it returns.

Wipe cache: help a little bit but general ui lag there.

I personally try firmware flash and lag is still there. So nobody found a solution yet but wipe cache and some ui optimization tricks helps a little bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dominikm27:
And remember: the problems concern only selected cases. After the last update, I have no problems at all. The phone works great, as befits a top-shelf flagship. Exynos, 8GB RAM, RAM+ set to 2GB, no factory reset or wipe cache after transfer via Smart Switch from Z Fold 3.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
And sammobile also confirms that exynos models have a problem.

Here is the link
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dominikm27:
Also no GPS problem. Works better then Fold 3 and Note 20 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dominikm27:
Sammobile confirms that the owner of the service in his private telephone has a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
Today we Snapdragon have the 3rd update in March(1st,14th, 24th), just mentioned stability improvement and nothing major.

Hopefully Exynos gets 3rd update soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
Something must be wrong with ram management. It almost seems like a memory leak like it happens in some pc games (performance decreases over time while playing), I don't know if it's technically possible on a phone. After a restart and for a few hours, the phone is always perfectly smooth, no stutter, no lag, no heat up, no delays nor app crashing. Its perfectly fluid even in the camera, and doesnt heat at all while taking pictures (which does happen when the device is in its "laggy state"). It doesn't seem to be related to the temperature of the device since it can be very laggy when I start using it after sitting in my pocket for an hour (so it's cool at this moment).

I've changed ram+ during these restarts, I don't know if it's related. I'll try to restart without changing any settings the next time it gets laggy, to be sure that there isn't anything else than restart.

If it works 100% of the time, I might just use that to get a fluid phone, and I'll wait for a patch. Feels like a complete different phone when it works well.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lurien:
How's it running so far?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Wouldn't say all SnapDragons. I haven't got anything today.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Guys can I ask a favor. I found something really interesting. Would you please change the setting of touch interaction vibration to off. It is under settings -> sound and vibration -> system sound/vibration control and then close all vibrations. I did it and now lag somehow very rare in my device. Thank you.

Edit: never mind it didn't change anything just a random better worse problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lurien:
Same. Hopefully it'll be available soon and comes with some improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vendetta17:
Im still amazed that i paid 1500 pounds for a phone that its that slow. Usable, of course. But in terms of speed it feels like a 300 pounds phone. Im still hoping and waiting for updates that will change this.

I still have many issues with this phone after 2 updates.

My first Samsung phone ever its a disappointment so far.

Been rocking Xiaomi phones in the last 7 years and i never had issues with them.

Dont want to believe that things wont fix. Or worse case scenario 'exynos its just that capable' i just dont accept this possible reality.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
So far nothing weird, some users found the shaking/broken review while video recording(especially at night) is improved.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Link?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
It is OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
I meant the youtubers who said it fix the night stabilization...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
Oh I misunderstood.

No video of the fix of this issue, just users' feedbacks on our domestic forums since the update only deployed one day.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Derpling:
A trash is a trash, this phone is a walking disaster!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
S22 Ultra(SD), despite of the latest "AVC9" installed , is "less smooth" in comparison to the S21 Ultra(Exynos) across the board with its last 3/4 updates. When checked side by side it's visible in my experience. Cache erased, factory resetted , settings kept exactly the same on both to come to this conclusion.

S22 Ultta needs some fine tuning with future updates is what I felt.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
A memory leak will show up in Developer options. Ram usage as well as in running services. You'll be able to see the memory usage increase as the minutes pass. Eventually it will crash the app. I've seen on an iPhone, PC but not Android.

When it starts lagging see what the battery current draw is which relates to the cpu cycles, view at idle to catch background processes.

If current draw jumps a lot when lagging at idle something is misbehaving. On the N10+ I want to see the current draw go low to 70ma every few seconds and rarely spike past 500ma at idle. Staying mostly between 120-300ma. SOT gives a good indication of how well it's running. I like the Accubattery tools for tracking these... if they work in Android 12 as I'm using 9 and 10.

Look at Device Care to see which apps caches are at the top when it first starts to lag. One of these is likely the culprit. I then test the suspect app with Package Disabler to see if it's the cause. Try clearing it's data or just block altogether.

When it's lagging try temporarily disabling Google play Services. It and its dependencies are known troublemakers. You can do this in settings but if greyed out you need to first disable Find my Device as a device administrator.

Play with it...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
you know, after a few weeks with my S22Ultra, i know hoy Toto Wolff in F1 Mercedes team feels...

they have everything on paper perfect, strong powerful engine, best aero packaging, two of best in sport pilots...

but the car is just not working OK... sometimes is OK, but most of the time not...

same like this phone, on paper brilliant, but in real life, barely second half of the grid...

BUT mercedes have still a chance to get this working with development and updates...

and so Samsung...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _DroidLife:
Well McLaren are now using Android devices. Looks like they have S22 Ultras - Provide your best caption :-)

"That sun is really heating this Exynos chip up ,check out the UI lag guys"
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] fortuneman:
Thats not entirely true. Factory reset has fixed all my issues except for Android Auto not working completely. Its been over a week, the phone is perfectly smooth with great battery life (SOC over 8 hours more often than not). Exynos, EU
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _DroidLife:
You give me hope. I just need to schedule some time to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] matty100147:
from i got this phone a month ago the lag and stutter has been so bad but after learning how to debloat over the weekend the difference in my phone is night and day, every lag and stutter is gone, i basically got rid of every samsung crap apart from the health app, even twitter which was nearly unusable for me before is so smooth and ive also went from barely getting through the day with battery life to 2 day battery life (light to moderate use) so for me the stutters and lags are because of samsung bloatware, once you get rid of it all the s22 ultra really is an awesome device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
AndroidAuto is finally working for me without disconnecting or not starting.

I have tryed at least 10usb cables which i had at home, and no one worked. Finally borrowed original unused cable from older samsung package (i think Samsung A20 or similar) at work and the phone is working without issues.Try different cable...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] fortuneman:
Thanks for your tip! I would try that but I am running via AAWireless and while there might be an issue with that cable connecting the dongle to the car, it used to run without problems on my old N20U.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Yes the cable is very important for Samsung device, use original one.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] oile:
Twitter stuttering is making me want to trash this phone. Wich list of apps did you use? Adbappcontrol or what? Uninstall or disable?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] matty100147:
I used ADB app control and put the level to high for debloating, I went through them one by one to make sure I wasn't deleting anything I need, all in all I'd say I deleted 85% of what they recommended to delete, also used galaxy max Hz and put everything up to 120hz, there is still the odd lag in Twitter but nothing compared to what it used to be...but I believe it's a problem with the Twitter app as users on the iPhone max complain about the lag also
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
The Exynos variant is just a terrible phone just now. Samsung need to rectify this quickly (if they actually can).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
The lag stutter will definitely go away if you set it to Note20 Ultra 5G Snapdragon 512GB default which is min 60hrz to 120hrz once you set it up on your S22 5G Snapdragon or Exynos to default of the Note20 Ultra 5G Snapdragon 512GB it will no longer lag twitter, lockscreen and any other app that was stutter.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
One has to wonder if Samsung's Quality Control Team is situated in an opium den. How they could allow a device with such obvious defects to get into the hands of consumers is unbelievable.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Or they just rely on most people not complaining in a couple of regions. The big markets like the US get SD and most of the reviews come from there so it's no big deal for Samsung. What's also interesting is how the UK reviewers don't mention what a sh**show the phone is.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Tysss:
It looks a little bit like UK reviewers get specially binned Exynos samples, that are actually perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Zwifty:
I use exonyos 512 with 12 ram on my 22 ultra and my phone is terrible. Its lagging all the time especally snapchat. The battery time is extreme bad. My phone is constantly on charging. When I watch youtube or facebook it laggs so much that the sound comes few sec when they speak
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ggesus:
Har du returnerat telefonen eller väntar du för en till mjukvara uppdatering? Ganska besviken över hur telefonen presterar i nulägget men holler tummarna för en uppdatering vid april.

Translated by GT: Have you returned your phone or are you waiting for another software update? Quite disappointed with how the phone performs at the moment, but keep my fingers crossed for an update in April.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] craig29:
Has anyone tried updating the touchscreen(TSP) firmware via *#2663# to see if that makes a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mcsti:
New update, UK, Exynos...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tobias14:
And a hefty one.

Downloading now
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Confirmed it's massive
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
April security patch
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Let's hope this update fixes all the cr**. Seems massive so it might fix a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Yup, we'll know for sure after it settles for a day or so
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Audio lag is fixed anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
Anyone can canfirm call quality improvement ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rauttis:
No performance improvements in this update when it comes to stutter and frame drops, if anything it might be slightly worse than before.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Mine seems better, cleared the cache and all that jazz
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _DroidLife:
I don't know. I'm in a weird position now...... I have had a laggy Exynos since launch day, no update so far has provided any resolution. Yesterday I bit the bullet, did a backup to USB and factory reset. I was not expecting that my phone would suddenly come to life but it was worth a shot.

I restored my backup and it's like I have a different phone. No lag whatsoever. Twitter scroll is the same but I believe that's an Android 12 thing as my Pixel has the same behaviour. This morning I updated to the latest firmware via OTA and the phone is still snappy.

I'll come back to this thread in a week to tell you if it's lagging again....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
Just leav the underhood after update process finish.

Mine seems to be smoother and faster 4h after update even without clearing cache etc...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
Maybe i try to do same excercise after today's update...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
The Twitter scroll problem is an Exynos issue I think. Its totally smooth on my Zfold3 with Sd888 and Android 12 but stuttering on my s22u and it was also on my P6P.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _DroidLife:
I have a Fold 3 here too and just looked and I can still the same Twitter scrolling behaviour although it's not as prominent as S22 U.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Certainly not as bad. My P6P was the worst.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bandy17:
Edit
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
I think that it is more Twitter app issue.

Many apps are still not optimalised for Exynos and new GPU. There is more SnapDragon units so the developer focus has clear SD priority ..

Same situation for Gaming Performance on SD and Exynos...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vendetta17:
Ok, this is the third update i got for Exynos variant and i can say that the phone feels better now after the update today. Less lags and stutter, twitter working perfectly. Not into games and stuff so cant say but daily regular use its better for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Yeah I was gonna do a fresh flash but I don't think I need to, it's working like a proper flagship now 😎😎😎😎
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] craig29:
Mine has actually got worse after the latest update 🤦 the battery life and everything else has always been good, but the scrolling lag is ridiculous. Might have to flash it 🤬
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
I took I video today with my pixel 6 pro vs oppo find x3 pro which uses SD888. Twitter Spotify and reddit lag is definitely a exynos problem somehow. Here is the link. Find x3 pro scrolling really smooth but pixel 6 pro (before I also had a s22 ultra but I send it back because of laggy experience and also that's because why I am in this topic :) To check the new update ) laggy like s22 ultra with exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rauttis:
Pretty much my experience as well, it's either the same or slightly worse.

I'm starting to feel it's something to do with how the Exynos and the new GPU handles memory. Basically whenever you open something that is not already pre-loaded in memory, everything turns into a stutter fest. Once it's all in memory it's smooth again.

You can really notice this with the edge panel for example. If you don't use it for like 5 minutes and then you try to pull it up, it lags so bad every time that you don't even see the slide animation. Then when you close and pull it up again immediately it's butter smooth. Then wait like 5 minutes and do it again, a stutter fest once again.

Hopefully this is something they can improve with drivers. Worst case scenario is that something about the new GPU design is just inherently flawed and it doesn't have enough bandwidth or something, and this lag will never go away.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] craig29:
I've noticed that too, gets a bit better for a while then just starts lagging again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
But pixel 6 pro uses exynos version SOC

To be clear: Exynos 2100 = S5E9840

Tensor / GS101 = S5E9845

And pixel 6/pro has no lag on UI where my s22 ultra had. Twitter scroll lag there on both phone. Samsung internet, edge or chrome works fine on Samsung better on pixel. I believe the problem can be related with GPU because s22u can not handle 1440p resolution. At least my old unit can't. Really strange thing is some people said they don't have any problem at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
I have the same feeling. I noticed the same behaviour when pulling down notifications. When it hasn't been done for a while, the animation is full of stutters. But when doing it repetidly it becomes perfectly fluid.

In my case the update didn't help at all.

I don't want to doubt when people say it fixed stutters for them, but maybe there's a placebo effect or you get use to the stutters somehow. After some days using the phone, tweaking settings etc I started to feel the phone was more responsive. But then I used the s21 from a friend, and by comparing them it just chocked me how faster and more fluid the s21 was. I was just getting used at my s22 performances... Also it seems that the phone is processing very slowly, for instance when I open battery settings, the battery graph takes a while to show up.i thought it was normal but then I compared to a s21 (optimised in processing speed, even battery saving was enabled), it was instantaneous on this one. Any app would open faster by comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
I had quite bad stutter on my P6P, sometimes it would be fine then I'd get dropped frames etc, certainly wasn't smooth. Of the 3(P6P, s22u and Zf3) , my Zf3 is the smoothest.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Would you please check your serial number. You can find it under settings then about phone then under the page tap model. Here you can see a serial number. The first number is which year did it produce

2021 -> 1 if 2022 -> 2

Second number is the month. In my case it is 2022 February. I am asking because it looks like some 2021 December models have more problems with Performance and 5G component.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I don't know if it's me but twitter scrolling seems alot better for me .please check the video and let me know what you guys think.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
%100 better.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
For those who just installed the new update. Please give the device time to settle. You cant expect to use the device immediately after update. you will encounter lags and stutters as the device is still optimizing in the background.
