[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Oh damn. What a hassle. They should have just added the option to buy it like the normal site. My friend's app shows: "apologies only for applicable users".
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
is the display brightness very low? Increase it and then check.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
It's on auto brightness and about 35-40% with the ambient lighting around the house at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Try removing the adaptive brightness and set brightness to 50% or high and see if refresh rate changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Are there really no good tempered glass options for this phone? Got some nonsense UV gimmick item that didn't work. And I would prefer a tempered piece to protect agains drops a bit.

What is everyone using here?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Doesn't exist, none. The closest one is the super expensive Whitestone dome glass that requires importing. And even then, there are reports of it interfering with the touch responsiveness. The official plastic one is not that bad. Some say gadgetshieldz plastic one is good but in my experience it was bad based on past experience with older models.

An insurance is better here afaik.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Thanks bro. That's it. Turning off auto brightness and setting it to High does work.

But this is still on samsung to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Glad it helped. Samsung has strangest of bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Thanks. Was this the same with other samsung curved screen phones too?

I checked but the official one seems to be out of stock for now on their app. Spigen has a normal screen guard that I might get, not sure though...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Whitestone or gadgetshieldz you're asking about? @Dpk1 is an expert on gadgetshieldz application if I remember correctly. 😀

Spigen SG is useless too in my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bobimbap:
Would anyone know SM-S908E/DS is snapdragon or Exynos? Is the device’s bootloader unlockable?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
It's easy for me (gadgetshieldz one). Will use a RO water mixed with trace of mild shampoo in a wide glass utensil to wet the SG and screen. Alignment is the key here. Done in 10-15 minutes for front and back film application. But it does take practice 😊.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
As far I know if you apply tampered glass most cases fingerprint recognition won't work properly.i used this one went well with s22 ultra without a single bubble specialy in corners gave 2 free from my dealer at the time of purchase. greatly satisfied with this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
@Virgo_Guy

I had given up last night. Woke up today morning and the refresh rate now drops correctly to 24 whenever the screen is idle.

Only thing that changed is I have a auto-reboot set for early mornings on Saturday. Wonder what clicked out of nowhere. Last night manual restart didn't do anything 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Royal King:
How is the quality? I haven't really used gadgetshieldz protector before.

I wanted to keep a tempered glass, but it already came out from the sides. My shop charged me 1k for this 😭
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cool.darshak:
Works for me too after turning off auto brightness
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
It does but turning off something like auto brightness, we might as well start using Nokia 3310 then.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
Quality is like any other wet application film (example Spigen Neoflex).

- It feels a bit sticky compared to TG and TPU/plastic ones but is significantly thinner.

- A well done (properly aligned) wet application film is not even noticeable whilst providing pretty good scratch protection.

- It's self healing and doesn't collect scratches easily like plastic ones.

- However, it does have the propensity to get peeled off from edges if you keep your smartphone in tight jeans pockets (without any case), but that again is a non issue in a properly applied one.

- Touch sensitivity is perfect and fingerprint unlock works flawlessly unlike the TG and few plastic ones.

To conclude - The best SG for curved screen flagship smartphones are either these (Gadgetshieldz/Spigen) if you can bear with the application process or the factory fitted (OEM) ones IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Royal King:
Thanks for this! This is my first phone with a curved screen so ended up applying tempered glass which started peeling already.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
So which screen protector is this? name, box cover etc. to identify?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Keep auto brightness ON, go to balcony/use outdoors and see whether the RR drops or not doing different things in the phone. Just want to know.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
Finally received my S22 Ultra from Amazon
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
I got it from where I purchased it's local one seems with no name saw same here this also no name.

Galaxy S22 Ultra Screen Protector Unbreakable Membrane TPU Film

Buy Galaxy S22 Ultra Screen Protector Unbreakable Membrane TPU Film at MobileZon | Free All India Shipping | 4 Days Delivery

mobilezon.in

one more with GADGET GEAR brand looks similar to that screen protector.

love this protector fit without any bubble is so good.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
RR switches down to 24 with auto brightness during the day. It only stops working and stays stuck at 120 when in dark/dim ambient lighting when the auto brightness cranks to around 20%
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Can you remove the finger and repost?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
Ungli karne ki aadat hai
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
So it's unlikely that it will get "fixed"(I maybe wrong) . That's how it is afaik. The display brightness needs to be at a "threshold" (only Samsung knows at what brightness) for refresh rate to kick in, to drop.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Oh ok 😕😔
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Read through the thread here on the screen protector part. So it seems tempered ones don't work very well with the fingerprint sensor (which is strange given that tempered glass went perfect with my old phone).

Anyhow saw some pieces on Amazon and found the below film-based guards. Any suggestions?

AEIDESS Screen Protector Compatible For Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with Edge to Edge Screen Guard Coverage and Easy Installation Kit (Transparent)

GADGET GEAR Samsung S22 Ultra Matte Unbreakable Screen Protector Hydrogel Membrane Supports Fingerprint Scanner With Edge to Edge Coverage and Easy Installation

I want to stay away from the wet application ones so not going for those that need the soapy liquid solution to apply. And not really sure about that UV Glue thingy that's going around these days.

What does everyone here suggest?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
after last update battery life becomes worst and few minutes youtube phones gets hot :(
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yes definitely bad battery life now. At this rate I'll have to start charging this thing midway at work 😢
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
Purchased comprehensive protection for 2 years for Ra 9999. Plan activated instantly under servify app.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
exactly Im charging 3 times for a day from past 2 days
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
it woulda be better if you done at the end of finishing your 1 year warranty they will give one option when your warranty was about to expire.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
I think that option contains only extended warranty and not ADLD
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Not trying to be a jerk, but why not the official Samsung insurance? 10k seems too high for a 3rd party. At least for me. I had a horrible experience with a tv once in the past with a 3rd party extended warranty. When I needed them, they were totally inaccessible.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
This is from Samsung dear. I have already took claim earlier for my Note 20 Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Oh Accha. I thought servify is a 3rd party. 😁👍
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
😟 So far I failed to convince myself to buy this phone for this strong lone reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
It is a 3rd party and Samsung outsourced them.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
It's not that bad. I mean maybe 5-8% extra drain for me at the end of each day post the latest update. Before that it was on par with the 21U so that's kinda good enough for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
It would be good enough to get on par with 21U but I am not convinced yet, especially looking at various tests & reports from the beginning🧐.

A phone with so much of productivity should have had way more stamina to say the least that we all can agree.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
It's not that bad. I mean maybe 5-8% extra drain for me at the end of each day post the latest update. Before that it was on par with the 21U so that's

Yeah for something that's a Note successor I also agree the battery life should or could have been better.

In hindsight which for me is a perfect 20/20, it's not that big of a jump coming from the 21U.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
It's a jump from the Note 20 series, not really from the S21U I would say though the name is 22U. Expert Raw and the S-Pen are "jumps" while it flipped backwards in some other ways imo.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I think I was wrong to jump the gun. The battery life in terms of SOT is almost better if not same post the latest patch. Down to 52% with 4:21hrs of SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kshitijgandhi:
I got a curved full coverage tempered glass put on by a specialty store for ₹450 (Jaipur). It is a UV Glue one, but I think it is one for Note 20 Ultra. When it was applied, it was perfect - no bubbles, not even on sides or corners. It is a completely transparent TG without black borders on the side. But when I put a cover on it (CASEOLOGY by Spigen Skyfall Back Cover from amazon came 1 day after I got TG applied), the case touches the TG and sometimes it nudges the TG from the left side, specially the top left corner. So bubbles have started forming there. But I think bubbles would have formed anyhow for this TG because there are bubbles in places where the TG does not touch the cover.

ALSO PS - Fingerprint works pretty well with this TG.

I have also ordered another TG from Amazon - this one seems to be a proper fit for the S22 Ultra. I put it on top of the phone with the cover on and it seems to be slightly smaller than the one I currently have on the phone (Note 20 Ultra screen is 1mm larger I think). Will share details when I apply the new TG, but it will be a while before I do that. I will also try to get the current one reapplied and see if it gets bubbles.

Let me know if anyone wants pics or links.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kshitijgandhi:
WHAT!!?? HOW!!?? That is insane screen time with 50% battery. My phone drops to almost 10-15% with this much usage (although that is with YT and 1 hour of Risk Global Domination), although I charge it to 85% only.

Have you disabled any apps or done any optimisations? Power saving mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Just so that someone doesn't think I'm lying bro
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] amit_sen:
I'm so getting >8hrs SOT pretty regularly on Wifi and 7hrs on 4g + wifi. So it's very good for me coming from OP7T. Testing new update, seems like no change to me as well. Need to check for few more days tbh. This is with wqhd+ adaptive refresh + aod on. With fullhd+ adaptive + aod off , I think I can get approx 2hrs more.

I don't game at all though
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Same to same. I'm too old to stay awake beyond 4.5hrs SOT. But if I'm able to hit that mark at 52%, the overall SOT should.easily be 10+hrs if I were to really push to sub-10%
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
Samsung 45 w Car charger L5300 also supports super fast charging 2.0
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kun8l88:
I have a bunch of queries and really concerned with the S22's (normal 8gb/256 GB) performance. Have installed the latest update for disabling GOS throttling issue too.

1. The battery life is **** and it just keeps on draining. Hardly getting 10 or 12 hrs with 3 to 4 hours of SOT. Are you facing the same?30 mins of COD game drained the battery by 10%.

2 The phone just heats up on 2 mins of Camera usage or 10/15 mins of Instagram scrolling..

- For post order redemption for Galaxy Buds 2 @Rs 999, I had pre booked this phone from Samsung Corporate Online website. But now on the phone, its showing the redemption @rs 2,999. Have escalated to CC. Awaiting response. Any other Corporate user that has redeemed the buds @999, do let me know.

- I havent received any mails for ADLD or Samsung membership No. Any clue about how to get this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Same question here
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] smart.shabbir:
Has anyone tried using Samsung Dex feature using Type C to HDMI Adapter. I tried but it did not work for me on my monitor. I have Type C to HDMI Adapter that I use to connect my Laptop to the monitor, but when I am using it to make Samsung Dex work from my S22 Ultra to the monitor it does nothing, not even screen mirroring.

Any suggestions to make Samsung Dex work on the monitor screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Cam someone use

Could you please upload a shoulder height drop test video of your S22U? It will be very very helpful to the users.

In "about phone" phone name has to be mentioned as "twisted_mind's S22U" to make sure it's your phone only.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Can you please buy an S22U instead of putting buri nazar on my S22U? 😜
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Done.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cool.darshak:
I agree battery life is not that great, getting 6 hours of SOT. Noticed one thing in charging front. If screen is on while charging..it charges at average 2000 mah.. if screen is off ..average 4200 mah .. even touches 6000 mah depending on battery level. Sad to see samsung still 4-5 years behind in battery tech than competition. This is how my oneplus 2 charged several years ago 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
I can happily cancel my order if required..😊
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
Camera app seems unfinished! All pics have visible grain in auto mode. Daytime pics are worse than s21 ultra. Structural details are missing. Human subjects appear smeared in indoor lighting conditions. Except for the better night photos the s22 ultra appears to be worse in main camera quality compared to it's predecessor in Auto mode (scene optimizer on). However, switching to pro mode all the above issues are overcome. Also, I noticed weird halo artifacts on walls indoors having non-led lights on (after the latest update on auto mode). Hope, all these software issues are ironed out in future updates by Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bajk10:
Mine got delivered on March 16th . So far so good. S22 SD is smooth and faster than S21 Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
today I turned on adaptive power saving battery consumption become way better
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
I had my USB debugging mode to "ON". I had that on for almost all the androids i owned over the years. But for some reason HDFC banking app some sees it as threat on S22 Ultra and everytime i open the app it re-directs it to web page which says threat detected and asking to disable the debugging mode to off.

When i disabled it, app was functioning normal. Did not have this issue with my S9+.

Anyone else see this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Yes, faced the same. Disabling it is a good thing. Can reenable when you need it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I have it off bro. And still the SOT is darn impressive. Hitting 4+hrs SOT at 50% daily. Wife's at 60% with 3hrs 16 mins.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Yup true. But still this was not a issue with previous phones, its a new one for S22U. ICICI,CITI AND SBI works fine. Issue is just with HDFC. Seems like HDFC is not taking risk because of RBI's Iast audit.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
yup mine was weird if I off that optimization battery drains crazy.

I'll try tmr one last time without optimization if I get same result ill rest my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Try adaptive battery ON bro. I have had it on ever since it was a feature on S flagships. I use no power saving whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
Battery backup has been above average for me on the S22 ultra. It is definitely better than the S21 ultra (which my brother is using) and the MI 11 ultra (which I have for camera use).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I see you're on 4G. So that's really good SOT. I am yet to step out of the house/wifi so your SOT is definitely sign of good times.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Redeemed Watch of order from corporate portal (prereserve prebook), now feel should have waited as that samsung shop account will get referral credits in few days and could have utilized

Only Black & Silver color available
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Still my own number is not getting registered on smart club and giving error of minimum purchase shall be 15k

have raised it to cc
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Also for people who started seeing bad SoT/Battery backup after recent update, you can wipe cache partition. I did that and after this it is much much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
Yes, on 4G. I'm especially impressed with standby time (snapdragon definitely superior in this regard)!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Anyone else who referred themselves, did you get referral points/coupon code?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
I just had a word with smart club cc as I still didn't get my membership number and the lady said that I am not alone and a lot of people of people are facing this issue who bought from online shop s22 ultra due to some technical glitch. They'll surely resolve it but they are doing it manually for everyone so will take time.

At least she assured that they'll resolve but not sure how much truth is there in what this lady told.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yeah I remember I used to do this religiously until like the S6 or S7E. Haven't bothered really doing it. I grew old around that time 😅😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Unless it's in written don't trust anything. Raise the same query with their email support as well. That way at least it will be logged in their system and they will be obliged to write back to you and hopefully take your query seriously as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Buy all the official cases and accessories. You will easily cross 15k. Thank me later.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] NiruBhai:
I also ordered from Corporate Portal and was able to order GW4 after 7 days.. But I haven't received the smart club number till now.. I have called the CC and they were telling that, B2B customers ordered through Corporate Portal (having order id starting with 33xxxx ) will not be getting the smart club membership.. 😭😭
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Yes already sent 3 emails and all I get in response every time is that your query has been forwarded to respective team.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
corporate portal already gave you so many benefits:

- free adld worth 4k

- better price (current price is such a sweet deal without any other offers)

- better instant exchange value (What I got for deferred exchange, it is showing the same value for instant exchange right now)

don't worry about 1.5% - 2% cashback as points, enjoy your phone :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] billy_butcher:
Just wondering, what are the corporate prices like for the s22 ultra? Does it have bank discount/ add-on exchange offer?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Exactly. 4 camera, 1 stylus, 1 watch mila. Aur kya chahiye 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
after so many days battery become normal for me now.today got great battery life for the first time.always watch and buds connected.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Your phone took too long to "learn". Charger pe namak kam hoga maybe 😅

How to stay awake long enough to hit 9+hrs SOT?

Pls don't suggest redbull.

Can anyone tell me if they see the search bar on top in the Google Discover feed when you swipe right from the homescreen?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Damn, some update seems to have hit the Google discover feed, i can't see search option either. Hate these type of radical UI changes.

First they took away swipe to remove from feed option now this.:mad:

Edit: apparently they rolled back the update in a few minutes, back to regular feed UI with search bar on top.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
They reverted back to older UI, do you still see new UI.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Can't see search bar either!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheQuarterMile:
I can see the search bar on my OnePlus 6T but not on my S22 Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Mine back to new UI on S22U, search bar gone. Seems like they are testing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Anyone on the fence about Buds2 purchase, they are incredible. Superb in ear feel, zero discomfort, great sound and most importantly outstanding battery life. Charged fully before 1st use on March 10th. Finally ran out of battery last night. This is with daily 1.5-2hrs usage minimum.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] guyluvsgals:
guys!! those of you who ordered and received Original Screen Protector...kindly update on quality and ease of application
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Have a look at what's inside the box. It comes with 2 screen protectors. Quality is is exactly the same as the one came pre-installed with S21 & S20 series. I liked them better than a bunch of 3rd party screen protectors and few of them were costlier than this one.

I haven't applied it yet, so no idea about "ease of application".
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] praveen6585:
super easy to apply and really good quality. exactly the same as that which came pre-applied on S21U
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
all this happened when I started charging full

i bought one 2 days back so true. Its perfect for my ear you can use all day i never had this much comfort before. (buds+, live, pro, jabra 7t) compare to all this is super comfort also sounds good too
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yeah I've had the Buds and then Buds+ but the 2 are seriously improved.

S22 ultra HDR playback brightness is less than Note20 Ultra.

Tried to make it last 2 days, but fell few mins short of it...this is my daily usage at 1080p@60hz....mostly on wifi...with WhatsApp..insta...browsing and office email along with 3 Google accounts in sync.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lycan_codex:
I wasted three trying to apply properly. The quality is obviously very good and better than the local ones...but i never got it to work without bubbles properly. Mostly cause of my inability.. if anyone made a YouTube video on how to apply properly, it would be awesome...as the Samsung official video is not 100% accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eRajesh:
Where did you get the screen protector from? Showing as out of stock on Samsung's store for me
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
So I have the regular Samsung warranty and ADLD for 1 year.

What's a good source to buy these 2 items for the 2nd year? Maybe an insurance provider that can cover thefts too?
