Mine is running running butteru smooth
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sousa_2005:
Mine too… next update Will focus no câmera!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Wow you're lucky, how it can be this smooth ? My S22 Ultra very smooth now but Twitter still lag even after reinstall.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
My twitter was laggy after the update but after few hours I think the phone settled and everything runs alot better and smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Did you download Twitter from PlayStore or Galaxy Store ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Is there a difference?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Yes, at least they're not the same update...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
The one in galaxy store is older though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
Well, 24h after April update, factory reset and setup as a new unit without restore (most thin i have in cloud) the phone feels smooth as a butter. Even without change animations scale to 0,5 it feels snappier and much quicker than ever. Just ran geekbench and got stable results.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Even though the battery was good on my case, it seems to have improved after yesterday's update (Exynos).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
It seems better also on mine, lets see in couple of days if there is improvement or not. Mine after reset need some time to settle..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
I can tell you for sure that listening to music on Tidal (through BT to my car) was using a lot of battery, now it seems much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
That's good to hear
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] craig29:
So now having had time to settle after the update it weirdly seems much better, fingers crossed it stays that way 🤷
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Instead of repeating words like parrots, the people complaining about the S Pen placement should pay attention to the phone. Its in the opposite side to where the cameras are, otherwise the S Pen would not fit inside the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Makonator:
What is your opinion on cam quality M11U vs S21U (crop ability)...

Also for the rest buyers, I would skip exy for some time now...It desn't smell good.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] losonn:
Is it possible that S22 Ultra just gotta less development time than the S22/S22+ since it's like the last "Note"? Have an S22 Ultra on order, but now I'm a bit anxious that it will be a less stable and less well supported experience than the S22/S22+?

EDIT: My order is for the 12/256GB Snapdragon variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SCM73:
Ask for a replacement. That's a hardware issue. My brother got a MacBook Air. Same issues you described. Laggy and lousy battery. Replaced it. New one is speedy and has a battery that lasts as expected.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SCM73:
Not necessarily true. The Note 10+ in my hands have the S Pen and the cameras on the same side.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
True, however look at a teardown from both. The S22U has much bigger camera sensors which take more space compared to the Note 10+.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Poor design. Actually I was one of the first if not the first here to point out this design blunder.

Once you drop the phone trying to get the spen in/out or break the spen because it's such a pain to easily nest it if you're right handed and leave it out... you'll understand.

This phone lacks fundamental physical functionality if you're what the majority of the population is, right handed.

Worse it's heavier and thicker than the N10+.

A downgrade in functionality and usability.

Arbitrarily switching the side the cams are on is exponentially more inept than switching the power button side.

All show and no go.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Allesa:
+1 to the OP

Mine is sd8gen1 version

Although I'm pretty sure unfinished / factory firmware is the culprit. Got my review unit last week and have been experiencing slowdowns and stutters.

Tried the following:

1. developer settings, enable "suspend execution for cached apps"

2. Reduce extra ram feature from ram plus

For me it improves daily tasks

Second problem is benchmarks and gaming. Can't get scores like those published on multiple Tech sites unless running in inside fridge. I'm living in a tropical country which has room temp about 31 Celsius. Phone throttles sooner than normal. Usually phones throttles when it reach 42+ Celsius battery temp. S22u (again, early firmware) throttles from 34 C.

Been testing 4 sd8gen1 phones and it should not be like this.

Again. Early firmware. Gotta wait for day1 update to really make judgement
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ‬1‬:
I guess we should throw it out of the window once we receive it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ne0__:
Italy 12/256 ultra exynos here , after 48 hours i can say no frezee no rondom reboots no heat up yes its a bit lagy and battery drops fast but its becouse of firmware i think

I had about 6 hours sot
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Overall my personal opinion is the MI 11 Ultra pictures look most realistic. Video was better on S21u... But hey, they both doing a really good job.

For me the MI 11 Ultra is just feeling more premium.

Im on the EU stable rom on the Chinese version miui 13/Android 12.

No junk at all, baked in call recorder etc.

So I'm excited to see if i fall in love in my incoming S22 ultra, time will show. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Yes I am right handed. To be honest I would have to try it before I tell you whether it is annoying or not. I've had the ROG Phone 2 for almost 3 years now, and I can use it with one hand just phone (its bigger and heavier than the S22 Ultra). I moved to the UK almost 7 years ago and I had to teach myself to drive manual with my left hand which I thought was going to be mission impossible, pulling out an S Pen should be easy work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
These guys did... seems rather wasteful and the results predictable. It's increased weight didn't help matters.

All I'm saying is that Samsung dropped the ball again. No trophy, Sammy... and no sale.

If you need a new phone or it's a near zero dollar upgrade, maybe. If you have a good running N10+ or especially a N20U, Samsung hasn't lived up to this user's requirements to buy this new flagship.

It's a downgrade in a number of key functionality and usability areas. Less power user key features and another experimental poor layout. The cam hump was bad enough, then no spen, now the lefty spen... malakas.

If Samsung had instead pushed out a flagship better than the N10+, I be holding it... it's disappointing.

I'm not ragging on the S22U buyers... I'm napalming inept Samsung to a cinder for screwing up yet again. Zippo raid time.

And Samsung, what's in a name?

Stop with the "S" name "flagship" hissing already🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SCM73:
The more I read about the S22 Ultra the more I'm inclined to wait a few months for all the "kinks" to be sorted out. I want to upgrade from my Note 10+ but not to a 0.99 beta device.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Good choice, many users are hoping an update will solve their problems. I doubt any update will solve overheating, excessive battery drain or issues associated with the Exynos/AMD SoC. The chipset had serious production problems which will inevitably bleed over to users. Not to mention all the bugs which continue to haunt Android 12.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
I dont think its actually Exynos that is the problem, if you look above someone with a SD CPU reported the same issue. It has to be unfinished software that is causing this since the phone its technically not out yet, and most of the time companies release a "Day 1 patch" when a new phone releases.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
I've had lots of S Series phones and Android 12, OneUI 4.0 is the worst. Hopefully 4.1 isn't as bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Isn't it Android 12 there's the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Hard to say. Android 12 with scoped storage and forced encryption isn't helping any even if it's running right.

The huge megapixel front and rear cams aren't needed or even desirable for great images. This is contributing to processor load and battery drain when running. Max needed is 20mp but many say 12mp which is a lot of pixels.

A top line Canon Pro shooter like the EOS-1D X Mark III Body has slightly over 20mp and has a huge full frame sensor that's also isolated from the processor heat. If more pixels would help it would have them...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
I don't remember there being such a stink about the note 20 having the spen on the left side.. it's literally the same this go around. You would think people would be used to this by now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Battery life got worse for mine Exynos...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
It's always like this after such a big update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JaySoul:
So to follow up from my earlier post in this thread...

Spoke to Samsung UK today (been speaking to them on and off for a month now) and they agree that something sounds wrong with my Exynos 128GB.

The On Screen Time I've been getting AFTER a factory reset is now down to 2-3 hours. This is after charging it overnight and letting it run throughout the day until it gets to 15%.

One day it got 2h7m which is simply ridiculous.

The general performance has been stuttering, lagging, and generally getting worse. Tried to take a photo last week and the whole phone froze for five minutes.

Anyway, they have arranged for it to be picked up and sent to their Service Centre - they will advise after a few days what the next course of action is.

But yeah - definitely log calls with them if you're having similar issues. They were really good on the phone, fair play to their Customer Service!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] malikin:
try this,

disable 5G

disable unusing apps via adb app control app

put all other all app to deep sleep (battery settings)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] matty100147:
im back to using 60hz again as its way more smoother than adaptive mode, 120hz is just a stuttering lagging mess on social media even with the update yesterday
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Mine is smooth now, even Twitter but it tooks time... But maybe tomorrow it will lag again, wait and see.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] raul6:
Yes. No change
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] acbdo6:
Me too with the latest build.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
I have now 6h12m SOT with 11% of battery left. And i thinK it will get beter in next days...

What are yours "terrible" numbers guys ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] acbdo6:
At the moment, I have in nearly 5h, 30 min on screen time, and 90%. I hope I'll see better results in near future.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Hey guys I don't know if you tried this app but it's called good guardians in the galaxy store and it's made by Samsung. I used the galaxy booster as well as the memory management one and my phone is only flying now. It also has other useful tools in there and I haven't had much issues with ram since changing it in memory guardian. And using the app booster has me running good also.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JaySoul:
Last week I got 2h7m SOT. Yes, TWO HOURS.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
31% left SOT over 8hrs AT&T S22 Ultra 5G Snapdragon 512GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:
Thanks a lot for this !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Nice! Why did you factory reset? And why was One UI Home active for 4 hours? Did you just leave the screen on?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:
How do I find it?

I don't have this in Galaxy Store, so I installed it from Apkmirror.

Now I can't find it..

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mladen.georgiev:
Wow this totally changed how the phone and apps work. There are some scrolling lag here and there but mostly everything runs great.

It is recommended to run the app optimization after update and on a weekly basis.

This is totally worthy and replaces the need of phone reset.

Thank you very much for sharing this and in such detail.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:
I installed it from Apkmirror.

It doesn't show up in galaxy store for me.

How do I open this app now?

Can't find it in the menu.. where does it appear?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Mines here. But I found it under the recommended section in my apps. Uninstall the one you installed and find it here.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Hello Guys, I already gave my s22 ultra and send it back for refund. But I couldn't find any other android phone to buy. I start thinking to buy a new s22 ultra and wanted to ask you all if your devices getting better or still has these problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Mine still had it after April update. Tried everything and sent it back now and keeping my Zfold3 which is much, much smoother and faster. Will probably wait and get Zf4 now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Stay Away! You don't want a stinky S22U which is why you sent yours back in the first place. If you had the horrible exynos model consider yourself one of the lucky few that was able to return it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Yeah I liked the screen very much. there is no other screen (maybe 13pro max) that good. But I understand I will keep using my find x3 pro this year let's see next year maybe s23 comes with SD for Europe too.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vampyren:
How is that relevant or helpful? how did you start?

Seriously!

And yeah i also have the same experience. Its not always smooth. Hell i have even several crashes for the launcher OneUI....

This is not what i expect from premium phone in this class!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] webjunky:
Never had any problems with mine ( Exynos )
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] webjunky:
Dont need it , go to settings / battery and maintenance /battery / limit backgroung usage , all apps that dont need to run in the background set them to umtimate sleepmode (or how its called in english ).

On my phone i only let email and other apps for communication run in background.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Send like a lot more trouble then simply hitting a button lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
I would give it a second chance...

Mine after April update works like a charm. No stuttering or lagging in UI noticeable, and battery life is much better.

I have issue with VoLTE calls, but even provider and also Samsung promised the fix in next update.

So far i am OK with the S22Ultra and as soon as the conectivity issues are fixed i would keep the phone definitely.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xokiss44:
There a New update İts perfect lag gone

Check update guys and control New udpate
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Never had any lag or any issues since preorder AT&T S22 Ultra Snapdragon 512GB , this thing is a beast.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Yes most SD`s don't have the same lag problem like the exynos. Still good to hear.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
Did you send it over during the 14 days retraction period ?

I still have the phone and it still suffers a lot of stutters and heat issues. But I know some people here were getting good performances after the last update, don't know if it's still the case.

Mine is still underperforming, a lot. Sometimes the phone is very fluid, under circumstances I can't identify hence reproduce. Unfortunately it really isn't most of the time, even far from that. It's almost like if the phone was throttling like I was playing genshin impact but just doing normal stuff. When it's fluid, I just have to move quickly between apps, open 5-6 apps in a row and everything starts to lag. The camera experience in terms.of fluidity is awful.

I've tried everything contained in this thread, apart from debloating it but I consider that it should work flawlessly without doing this kind of tweaking. I will try it at least to know if it's app related or if the chip is just crop... I will also try an other reset after the last update and don't restore from.smart swith. I don't have high hopes... If none of these work, I'll ask to exchange it. I don't know if I'll be successful, I read reddit members having the same issues and samsung send it back to them saying they couldn't reproduce the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Hello everyone! I have s22 ultra in Italy, the exynos 2200 version.

It is very laggy and slow, but some reviewers say that the 12GB ram version is better. I am now thinking about selling my s22 ultra 8GB to buy a 12GB one but I'll lose 200€ doing this.

So my question is: To Exynos 12GB 128GB owners, passiblu power users, is your phone smooth and lag free? Or have you compared it with a 8GB model? I just want to know if its worth spending this money to stay with S22U... Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
On my 12/512 unit i have no lags after latest update, anyway i never had opportunity to direct compare with 8/128 version. Maybe it is the same, maybe better, cannot say.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] PTMB:
I'm sorry to report that my 12Gb 256gb model is still suffering from UI lag/frame drops

stutter in reddit and other social media apps, browsers, galaxy store, etc.

There are apps that mitigate this problem, for instance, the Boost app replaces reddit app, and that one scrolls so much smoother. So that leads me to think, it's mostly software optimization. Cause most of the system/Samsung apps and the settings etc are smooth as can be. The thing that bothers me the most, is that when i go from the phone being off, displaying AOD, if i open the flipcover the animations that get shown when going to homescreen, or when swiping from lock screen to homescreen, that stutter just kills the whole experience for me, every time i open the phone i get greeted by this lag-show of horrors.

Don't get me wrong, it's not stuttering in everything i do, but it's too much for a phone of this price.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:
The entire Good Guardian Apps Suite - From ApkMirror - If anyone is struggling to find em like me.

This is an epic creation by Samsung. Hats off ! Really ..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Yes most SD`s don't have the same lag problem exynos. Still good to hear.

Yes I send it back 14 days period. In my experience if the resolution is QHD it is lags everywhere. On UI, apps, camera, gallery... FHD makes a little bit better but it was still worse than my 1 year old snapdragon 888 soc smartphone.

What I did try to solve this problem:

1- Wipe cache

2- Soft Reset (under settings)

3- Factory Reset

4- Flash latest rom (March) with Odin.

What I do after give the device is to buy a pixel 6 pro. Pixel 6 pro is far more better than S22 ultra as a smoothness. BUT it has also laggy in Twitter, Reddit and Chrome. I made a video about it if you want to check Here is the link. After that I start to believe there is something wrong with Exynos SOC somehow. At least some of them. I don't think it is a software issue. It should be a hardware issue.

My suggestion is send the device back to repair or return it and wait for couple months if new batch devices fixed these problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] webjunky:
Go to settings and turn on developer options .

Turn off all animation ( 3 different animations).

You can Turn dev option on by going to phone info / software info and tap (multiple times) on buildnumber till you get yhe message that developer options are turned on.

Then you will find them under settings all the way down the list.

Hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I start using Fenix 2 for twitter its just alot better and scrolling is very smooth.with lots of customisation only down side is you have to pay for the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Try install edge browser then go to twitter.com and install the web page as a app. Then it works very smooth but drain your battery a little bit more.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Here is a quick video for the Fenix 2 for twitter app.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Today my phone is like super super smooth even Twitter, but I guess if I restart my phone it will probably not longer.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
If I'm being honest I'm only seeing super laggy moments when 1440p is enabled. The moment I go back to 1080p everything is back to smooth. With the occasional frame drops. But 1440p is far worse
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Yeah I agree it's a shame we pay for 1440p screen but can't use it even 1080p not smoot enough being honest with you but the worst thing is there is no other strong alternative to this phone despite exynos..I can't see myself using an oppo or xiaomi just for SD8gen1.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
I was looking at the OnePlus 10 pro 5g today. Should be out soon
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Not even a competitor for the s22 ultra 😔😔only brand was serious compatitor for samsung was Huawei but unfortunately since they lost GSM they are no good use for me...(this is my personal opinionand i respect everyoneelse's).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] San Diego:
Guys, this thread is 42 pages long. 42 PAGES! I think Im the only one with a life.

1. This discussion has been going on since 2/17. THAT'S 47 DAYS. If you hate the phone so much, if the phone is SO slow as you all claim, then return it / sell it / get over it. Unless your life is solely devoted to perpetuating this zombie-thread.

2. I do like the phone, probably the best Samsung has made. Honestly, and not trying to be a troll here, but the thing is incredibly powerful, and in my opinion, fast. I'm just sadly watching this thread perpetuate itself for seemingly no reason.

Hate the S22? Get the Pixel 6 pro, or the upcoming OnePlus 10, or any one of a number of phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
If your more of a feature guy Samsung is your brand. But I'm more into performance. Which Samsung is limiting sadly
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
OP have massively gone downhill in the past year or two. I wouldn't go near them now and I used to buy their phones every year when a new one came out.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Were talking about the Exynos here and the fact that Samsung are shipping a sub par SOC to certain territories around the world whilst claiming its the same phone and charging the same price, its disgraceful. Sure, the SD version is probably the best phone in the world just now but a lot of us can't buy it in our region so we've every right to discuss this and be pis***.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
As someone who has had every flagship phone available. This one has it's issues. Whether you are experiencing them or not is good for you. However 42 pages of issues seems to me like there is a real problem. Some people like me trusted Samsung to release a patch within my 14 day return period and they released ît on my 14th day. So on the 15th day when I'm in here searching for ways to make my phone feel a fraction of the speed it's supposed to means there's an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JaySoul:
Sent it in for investigation. All they have done is outsource it to a Samsung Authorised Repair Centre (with really mixed reviews on TrustPilot).

They've done a basic battery test and.... that's it! That's all they are doing. Lol absolutely pointless. Apparently "it's fine" and that's literally all they say. Great(!)

I'm guessing I'll have to escalate it with Samsung if the phone still performs terribly. Otherwise just sell it and get a Z Fold 3 or Pixel 6. Ideally I'd trade it in for a Z Fold 4 but that's still at least 4 months away so let's see if I can last til then.. God it's even got me thinking about going back to iPhone haha
