[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hamid Chikh:
Same here, 8 is very much enough. And operating from RAM which is faster makes the whole phone smoother. You'll have to disable ZRAM too, It'll enable automatically
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
I didn't find this setting for fix one ui lag, can you explain more please ?

And why 2gigs of ram plus will make the phone faster instead of higher 8GB ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hamid Chikh:
Operating from RAM which is faster memory makes the whole phone smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
You can make it more also 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
Hi! The Last 24h the phone was way more fluid, almost no stutter. I've already had huge differences like this from one day to another, I don't know if samsung pushes updates without seeing it. The phone is much cooler, battery is better also. Its like having two different devices...

Also 2gb ram+ definitely helps, the phone is full of stutters with 8gb, the lower seems the better... although I'm afraid to restart the phone now that it runs well to try intermediate settings lol

EDIT :

I just took a few pics, enough to warm the phone. Stutters were back, all over the place... at least it doesn't stutter when cold now, we're getting progress lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
After you click the link you will see in the post. By the way I returned my phone and start using my fold 3. What a relief 😌 it is much smoother than s22 ultra unfortunately 😕
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rauttis:
Disabling the ram plus option by setting it to 0 at least initially feels like a big improvement for the responsiveness of the phone. Doing that definitely has a big negative too though at least on the 8 GB variant, the phone is now struggling to keep more than 4 apps in memory before they start reloading.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
I clicked but didn't find how to fix one ui lag.... There's no this settings for me. I found everything but not this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
It is here
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Yes, that's what I said, I didn't find this part on my phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
I am sorry you need to touch here

And then choose

Show system apps after that you can find all of them
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hamid Chikh:
That's not a problem for me, my base model S21 is doing just fine. There's a difference between what is bad, what you think is bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Which RAM setting is the best option for battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hamid Chikh:
Not related
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] flashflash:
How do you set to zero, I only see option to take it down to 2?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Meaning you can have it on the highest or the lowest setting (0-16) and it wouldn't impact the battery life in any way? I find that hard to believe but I digress..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Why would i disable my ram plus , wouldn't do that, My AT&T S22 Ultra 5G 512GB Snapdragon is running outstanding with all that on , actually its a bit faster then my Note20 Ultra 5G 512GB Snapdragon, This S22 Ultra 5G 512GB Snapdragon is a Super beast. Getting SOT over 10hrs. Battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
To be honest this is all ****ing sad to read, it's just like half of us are living in a completely different world from the way our s22's turned out...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
A different continent anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
This phone is at this moment **** flagship. Lag in a lot of apps, my S20+ was perfectly smooth...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
This s22 ultra 512gb is definitely a nice upgrade from my previous Note 20 ultra

As for Ram Plus, i bumped my virtual ram to 8GB. Works well for multitasking
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] fortuneman:
A little update from me. Originally my S22U (Exynos, 256gb) was quite smooth. My troubles began AFTER the march GOS update (cache cleared). I clocked it on GB5 and it got 1004 on single core and 3210 on multicore. Which was well below some of your numbers. So I decided to swallow the pill and did a factory reset. I really wanted to avoid a setting up everything anew but what other choice did I have.

Now, the results are interesting - first of all, my phone feels smooth again. These microstutters on every other screen seem to be gone, which is great. Ironically, my GB5 numbers are all over the place - 647 on singlecore and 3372 multicore. But these are just numbers and what matters to me is that the phone once again doesn't feel worse than my good old Note 20 Ultra used to. Let's see how it breaks in after a while and what it will do with the battery. Best of luck to you all.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ‬1‬:
My one occasionally freezes. Cleaning the cache didn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackcell1:
yeah I'm also having freezing issues, I've had the device in my hands for around 48hrs and I'm pretty shocked to the overall performance of the device. ran the OTA that dropped after first booting the phone and I've had nothing but a sluggish phone, numerus wakelock bugs where the phone will hang for a good 10 to 15 seconds (had to force reboot a few times because of it). some weird ass touch delays where i go to click something and it doesn't respond to my touch... hell knows what that's about ? just feels like a £1200 experimental rom to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] flashflash:
Yeap, also getting the freezes. UK handset, freezes last about 10 seconds, just started after the last update.

I am pretty upset, feel like I've just wasted 1200 quid. I suffered issues with apps not installing after the new android update on my S21 ultra. Did countless resets, each one takes so much time to get apps back with passwords etc.

I just can't face another reset 😭

Tempted just to bite the bullet and buy apple.

Want to try the zero ram plus route, anyone know how to do that? One last try.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Since I played up with this virtual ram and set it to 0.phone draining battery like crazy..I used to lose 4% battery over the night but now its over 30% don't mess up your phone with adb and virtual ram thing you will end up resetting your phone like me ..use your phone as it is or send it back to samsung if you not happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
There is maybe something else...

I set mine to 0 yesterday evening, and it dropped about 3% overnight. Did you also some different settings via adb ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Nope just set it to 0 no other adb commands..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
It seems that Exynos is not so bad in Battery life...

Surprising comparision.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] fortuneman:
An update a day later - singlecore 1178, multicore 3500, the battery seems to be climbing to 8 hours of SOT, while running all options on highest setting. This is all right, I think 🙂

TLDR; a factory reset has helped a lot after having used SmartSwitch, now the phone behaves like a flagship should
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Aurien:
I'm going to share my experience

When I acquired my S22 Ultra, the first thing I did was configure my most used apps, then I configured the device to my liking, and after that what I did was install GMH (Galaxy Maz Hz) that for the person who does not know this app basically It helps you use 120Hz on the screen and be able to have the energy saving mode activated.

After this I started to use my phone normally, to which I noticed that the instagram videos had a lot of lag and twitter too, I installed some games like minecraft which after 5 seconds was TOTALLY laggy, it was unplayable, I was fed up and desperate, thinking of returning my S22U to samsung.

then I enter the GMH application and configure all the parameters to the maximum of Hz, 120, 120, 96, 120, and simply with this my problems were eliminated, THIS WAS MY CASE, I hope I can help someone with this, in short, yes you configure the minimum Hz at 1hz, 10hz, 24hz, the phone gives lag, when you put it to the maximum it runs completely smooth.

I hope this helps some of you! greetings, nice day!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
After factory reset phone feels like a totally different device, I wasn't expecting that to be honest. I did a full back up to samsung ssd t7 reset the phone and than restored from ssd I'm so glad I done it so far no issues 🤞🤞🤞
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
I too had some strange behaviors including broken UI setting menu in Day 1 after Smart Switch, finally I did a full backup to a portable storage, factory reset, then full restore from that portable storage.

ALL problems gone and I am happy.

I am glad that I decided to do a factory reset the second day I found problems, without struggling trying this and that endlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Digie:
How did you do a full backup to an SSD and how you were sure it wasn't also corrupt?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
Interesting to see that factory reset helps, as I have the exact same issues you had. Stutters, lag, delay when touching the screen... When you say saving data on an external support, you mean a smartswitch save?

I'm also facing delays when clicking on some things. For example, quick actions like "delete" on a mail notification just take forever to execute, or sometimes just never execute (especially telegram or Gmail quick delete notifications). I think it must ask for too much power !! Lol

After a few good hours/day with no lag I thought the phone was doing good, but now its bug/lag fest once again. I just noticed in comparison with a regular s21 exynos, that my camera app was sooo laggy and slow. It takes forever jumping from rear camera to front camera, it slows down a lot when shooting, at a point where taking pictures consecutively is almost impossible... then of course the phone gets hot after an intensive 30s camera experience, when returning home the phone slows down and lag as hell.. the s21 was so smooth at it, no heating, camera was way more responsive, all of this with power saving enabled. Just made me realised how bad my s22 is performing.

I'll try to reset it tomorrow and I'll update you here. I really hope it will help, the phone has been terrible lately
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
Go Settings > Accounts and backup > External Storage Transfer.

Of course, I also did backup Samsung Cloud and Google Drive.

I was not sure but suspected something came from my old device that crash the new Android 12/UI 4.1 during Smart Switch.

Can't guarantee this will fix your problem, but factory reset did helped others out of their predicament.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
Before factory reset, you should try Recovery mode > wipe cache partition first. It does help in some cases, without removing all your data.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
You have Exynos or Snap? Is Twitter smooth now?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
Unfortunately/Fortunately, I have SD.

Twitter seems ok to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
I've already tried it. But thanks !

Anyway I think I've tried everything lol, ram+ on low values, reboot, wipe cache, some tweaks from the "optimising one ui" thread, different settings... the only thing I haven't tried is factory reset. But yeah, I would've like to avoid that...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
Do you know how to enter Safe mode?

Try to see if your device still stuttered and sluggish.

In my case, the Settings went to "Windows" which means UI was crashed, not some personal apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] donetus:
i just got mine 2-3 days ago and i guess, i'm lucky that I didn't experience that on my phone. Though what I always do is after the store initially sets up the phone, i already factory reset it when I reached home.

Model: SM-S908E

OS: OneUI 4.1

Recent Update Installed: March 2022
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dpoverlord:
I am getting sooo much lag.

For example, when I open ANY File explorer

Google Files

MIXplorer

Solid explorer

If I try opening my whatsapp directory that has 8,000 images it takes

FOREVER

My note 8 Ironically was instantaneous.

It seems to be some sort of caching issue and I cannot figure it out.

Has anyone figured a solution here?

FYI I switched to Nova Launcher as Oneui Was Lag Central.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
I use Nova but just a preference. Been using it since it 1st released so it's a habit. My wife is using stock launcher and the phone works great so far. What I did do to both phones the very 1st day is also set animations on 0.5x (I do it to every phone).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackcell1:
Ah I was forced to factory reset my device after I tried to charge my phone last night but I was getting a weird USB issue whilst charging. It's running 100% better. Would recommend everyone to try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bogdan89:
It most likely is, but it's a lotterry on the hardware side usually (at least in my country). I bought the s22 ultra as my 2nd phone and until now, lags and battery life make it quite awful (and yes, all troubleshooting, resetting, configurations and all done). Probably going to return it, not really worth its price.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _DroidLife:
I'm interested in knowing, of those with Exynos versions running the latest OTA and having factory reset, how are the devices behaving a week later?

It's my last attempt to see if this might resolve the lag, but I don't hold much hope as I feel it's driver related; however, I'm willing to give it a shot if others have had a positive experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hamid Chikh:
You can configure refreshrate without an app.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
Mine is OK. No issues.

I have some minor app freezes and crashes, but this is mostly on BETA apps which i use a lot, and i think is not related to OneUI
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I have no issues since factory reset.twitter scrolling is still having some frame drops but when I made side by side comparison with my s21 ultra and note 20 ultra they all same not just s22 ultra having scrolling problem....also tried twitter on my daughter's iPhone 12 and who ever saying iPhone is buttery smooth is lies there are also some frame drops on iPhone 12 and its not buttery smooth at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
One more think I need to mention is when I first setup my phone with smart switch it copied every application but when I backup on ssd and restore it didn't copy samsung pay,youtube music and one more app I can't remember the name of it and it displayed a massage saying please download it from galaxy store this version is not compatible with your Cpu.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Syndirail:
So had the phone for about a month now, Exyonos variant, used SmartSwitch to transfer data etc. initially.

Laggy mess, was able to tweak it a bit by limiting background processes etc. Was noticing that KLWP and its processing caused a lot of issues, not soley, but primarily because it was rendering a bunch of stuff. Initially had success with changing additional RAM to 2GB, but that seemed to be because i restartet the phone.

Did a Factory reset about a week ago, totally different feel. Now there is still some lag here an there, specifically on the lock screen, but i could even switch back to max res and it was behaving like a flagship should. Pretty insane difference actually.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BaGRoS:
Could tell me how?

Without lost photos/videos/applications?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
You need a external hdd or ssd and make sure have enough space for the back up.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Digie:
Does it also backup the homescreen layout, settings etc?

Like a complete mirror of how you got it?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Yes it's complete back up and restore.apps,photos,videos and home screen layout etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Digie:
If it is even the settings, i will use it.

Thank you a lot.

Btw, you were right.

First time in history, Samsung brought Snapdragon here.

And yet, here i am. Having Spen Notw issues 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Enjoy your new toy :) I might buy SD version too when I visit Turkey next time..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Digie:
I will if the freakin Spen doesn't give reboot/notes stopped working error.

Even in safe mode...

It is mostly sorted when i deleted the cache in reboot mode, than deleted the app and its data from settings and updated. It didn't repeat it but i am still afraid
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BaGRoS:
Subfolder in DCIM also? Or I have to copy manually?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I didn't do anything special only app backed up manually was the WhatsApp.when you start backing up it will give you options and I choose back up everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lurien:
Did you reinstall everything from scratch? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackcell1:
Ah I was forced to factory reset my device after I tried to charge my phone last night but I was getting a weird USB issue whilst charging. It's running

Yeah a full backup and factory reset everything. I've not really messed around with the settings and I've not seen any of the bugs I was getting before.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lurien:
Nice. Snapdragon?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BaGRoS:
I saw later, this is still by Smart Switch... By cable from different mobile was not good, but by external memory from same mobile is good? You are sure it's not placebo?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I don't realy know what it is but I can tell you the phone runs alot better since I Done it.also people who done the reset saying the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
In my case, my UI was broken and I got weird windows alike Settings menu.

After backup to external storage( a simple Type C USB disk can do the job, and very fast), factory reset, and full restore, all stuttered and sluggish and wired operations were gone which makes me think that some system configuration of old device (N10+ Android 11) or unsupported APPs were transferred by Smart Switch and caused all these unsolvable issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vendetta17:
I came to s22 ultra from Mi 11 Ultra. I cant understand why samsung feels so slow compared to the xiaomi phone. Mi 11 ultra its 1 year old and still flying. Hopefully i did not paid 1500 pounds for this thing. Its for the first time in the last many many years when i had to restart the phone. Yes, i love the display, camera and other things... But this phone doesnt feel as quick as it should be considering its their top phone yearly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
As I mentioned on my earlier post I had to install samsung pay,youtube music and one other app because it wasn't transferred from back up and displayed a massage saying this version is not compatible with your Cpu please download it from play/galaxy store .this wasn't the case with smart switch..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
My case was different, didn't get any massage of incompatible app, and I am sure I have Samsung Pay, YouTube right after Smart Switch. However, operating system was messed up.

My N10+ is 855 SD, S22 Ultra is 888 Gen1 SD, maybe this is the reason I didnt get that warning massage like you?

Coming from a Xiaomi Mi11 (Snapdragon 888+) used for 1 year and a Xiaomi 12 Pro (newesr Snapdragon)used for two weeks: thus s22 ultra with Exynos is a joke in comparison, laggy and battery hungry.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] San Diego:
oh my god, this S22 is SO SLOW! it's the ABSOLUTE WORST! I mean, I pulled out my old HP 10b scientific calculator and IT was FASTER than this piece of **** S22 Ultra! My grandma, whose been dead for 25 years, when I unearthed her SHE was faster than this S22 ****ing piece of **** Ultra!

Absolutely Samsung should take a hit for the Exynos Disaster. Agree 100%!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] flogger:
I don't want to be another user that's just being negative, and besides, i've been a note user for long time, but my s22 ultra has some problem and it seems to me that is always UI related. As some of you reported the one ui keeps crashing. After the last ota updates, effectively the messages of crashing dissappeared, but I'm suspecting they just found a way to hide them. The issue that actually is driving me insane, is that very often, when I turn on the screen, the ui just hangs, you can see that the fingerprint sign on the lock screen is only partially drawn and the phone is totally unresponsive for like 10 seconds. no fingerprint, no reaction to on/off button, fingers, nothing. You feel like throwing the phone out the window. Such expensive phone and when you turn it on to make a call or send a text because you're in a hurry and the phone is a brick..... I honestly never had such a disapointment with any previous samsung phone. My note 20 ultra is still way ahead of this one (except for the cameras....)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
OK guys I download the proper firmware from Samsung firmware Downloader then flash the phone with Odin. Then I did not use any backup tool just started as a new device. So far my experience with WQHD resolution is almost perfect.

It makes a difference. First even the first stage of the phone which include all app updates from play store and galaxy store works fluid. No excessive heat not hiccups. Today the weather in my city is 19 centigrade degrees and phone is cool. I will keep update if lagging returns. So far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thegios:
Question: it's not clear to me if performance is better with GOS on or off.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
In my case it didn't make a difference other than games. I played very basic games that doesn't require a lot gpu cpu power. So far apps made no difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackcell1:
Ah Exynos, sorry for thr late reply. I'd probably hold tight on this fix as I'm starting to see the bugs I've been having slowly creep back in. Plus I keep finding more, the pocket protection (accidental touch) has started to play up. It's started to randomly skip songs backwards and forwards in my pocket. Rather annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lurien:
No problem. I have snapdragon and my main issue was battery life and occasional stutters here and there. I did decide to factory reset and restore from external. Was recent but I have noticed improved battery life and noticeably better overall smoothness. Hope you can get yours sorted out.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] naz1911:
Been on the S22 Ultra (Exynos) since before release day. Only issue i had was video corruption.

Since the last update, no issues whatsoever.

It seems like some issues can creep in from the Samsung phone cloning procedure. Maybe a fresh install might be better?
