[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
Like I stated in my earlier post. I was watching youtube at 480p and wirelessly charging. On my Note 20 Ultra which I have done the same many times. The phone stays fully charged during the entire 40 minute drive while watching youtube(Still keeping my eye on the road of course, sorry Tesla owner). With the S22 ULTRA I started with 100 percent and in drained down to 90 percent during the car ride. Granted the screen is QHD rather than FHD on the S20 ULTRA. Once I arrived home and removed it from the wireless charger and started messing with the phone I noticed it was a little warm and the lag had somewhat returned. From that point 88 percent turned into 38 percent in an hour and half. Once this happens the phone is reluctant to charge and takes forever to fully charge it. At that point I said I am done and contacted Samsung and they wanted me to go through the warranty process. I just ended the chat and contacted ATT. They are sending me a new Green Snapdragon 512GB in the next couple of days. I dont think the lag and battery issues are just related to the Exynos version. I believe it could be a software issue, but seeing that most SD owners were saying their phones were fine I decided just to exchange mine while I was still under the buyers remorse period.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zsmalley:
About to put my phone on the charger but with moderate use including an hour long zoom Conference I would make it over 24 hours on a charge. My complaint is no screenshot from holding power and volume down.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dave7802:
Must be a shortcut.... as mine works
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] whobutme:
Mines works just fine
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lennyuk:
that works for screenshots for me too
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
I have to add that my screen shot work too but I'm posting to add that you don't "hold it down" you just click them quick; maybe you are holding too long
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I don't know if it's only me but the phone feels like little bit faster today and no Lag except twitter.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JaySoul:
I did that Memory trick that someone else suggested and that definitely seems to be helping a lot. Much smoother now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Yes I agree....virtual ram works better with 2gb ...switching to 8gb make the device more laggy. I wish we could turn it off completely.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] android-incredible:
Your phone is the snapdragon variant or exinox?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrotherCarr:
Thank god someone is experiencing the same laggyness.

I'm on Exynos and I put on Reddit on launch day how BAD Snapchat, Instagram & Messenger video recordings were. They are beyond laggy.

I tested it side by side compared to my S21U and it's night and day.

I actually don't understand how reviewers said they worked fine when many have a different experience.

I thought the last few days updates for social media apps would fix them, but today Snapchat felt beyond worse..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EmilZackrisson:
I have the Exynos 128GB model.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmyTheBun:
Sorry people here are being weird. often these type of forums get filled with strange fanboyish types of people.

sadly the samsung softwareis the reason I'm not buying an s22+ and instead buying an iphone 13 after owning only 1 apple devices 10~ android phones.

the nexus 4 i had was amazing, not sutters,no frame drops, so I'm probably gonna check the pixel 6. but yeah.

tho the s21 i saw at a samsung experiance store did not stutter one bit, I'm wondering if they overclock those phones because they run in demo mode.

your experiance is helpful because now i'm gonna be more cautious and see if I can try someone's phone instead of a random one at a store

maybe it's an exynos vs snapdragon thing? I don't know what chipset turkey has!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
No lag here at all AT&T S22 Ultra 5G 512GB Snapdragon
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Digie:
Turkey will have exynos.

I am also waiting and thanking the pre-order will begin @ 4th of March.

Still time to see if they release any patch
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] android-incredible:
I heard a lot of problems with that variant, the best bet is waiting for a software update and wish that can be fix.i have a snapdragon variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
You wrong this time Turkey recieves snapdragon instead of exynos .
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MarkosMarkouG:
So a positive update from me here.

Weirdly running the phone WITHOUT the Smart Clear View Cover case of Samsung has solved my issues. I am not having any more freezes or random restarts within the day.

I do not really understand how the case played an issue but I had noticed that most of the freezes were related to unlocking the phone by opening the case.

As for the Battery, it is indeed becoming better after a few charging circles.

8GB/128GB here. Exynos Model was bought in Estonia and delivered on the 17th of February.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
During a production run Samsung may substitute smaller chipsets and components due to availability. They don't track those changes directly to each device; they need to physically examine it to know.

Sometimes the firmware isn't compatible with these changes and isn't detected until latter.

They need to make changes to the next firmware update or replace the mobo to fix it.

This has been going on for years and can account for some the widely varied user* experience on the same variant. There could also be a subtle hardware defect that firmware updates will never fix.

Best advice... return it for a refund or replacement.

*many times it's a setup or settings issue and nothing else. Fun times...😳
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Digie:
Two different sources, same date, one says Exynos one says SD

So maybe you can be right.

Fingers crossed
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I can guarantee you it's coming with Sd it's already been confirmed 👌 😏
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Digie:
Now the wait is even juicier 😉🥳
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Although the Exynos variants are more problematic we're seeing Snapdragon devices with problems as well. Hard to say at this time if the issues are related as a certain number of all smartphones will have defects.

Some "experts" have stated the problems are hardware related by claiming the software is the same in Exynos and Snapdragon but that's not the case.

The problems with 22 Ultra have been widely reported online, Samsung is taking a hit but how they respond will matter not only to Samsung but more importantly to users.

If a few updates solve most of the problems that's the best case scenario. Keep in mind Samsung's updates for Android 12, OneUI 4.0 didn't go very well and I wouldn't be surprised if Android 12, OneUI 4.1 which is the OS and Skin on the Ultra may be associated with the issues. Just because some people are having no problems with their OS doesn't mean others with the same OS won't have problems since different apps and software installed after purchase can affect compatibility.

If updates don't go smoothly or the problems are hardware related and Samsung has to recall a significant number of devices, Samsung will take a much bigger hit.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hbutty:
well after 3 days of ownership i think im returning my device. its now freezing and needing force restarting before it will recognise any inputs
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Probably because the viewers had the Snap Dragon version to review and not the Exynos version. The difference right now between the two is like you said night and day. I'm on the Snap Dragon Unlocked and I have no issues at all with lag or battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
That is interesting. I got that case with my order but decided not to use it and am using an OtterBox Defender Pro.

I'm gonna look at mine to see if there any magnets in that thing. If their are that could be the explanation. A Magnet Design with magnets in the wrong place interfering with the phones operation?

UPDATE: Actually I got the Smart view Flip cover so it not same one. So is their any magnets on your case?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Derpling:
Those issues sound so horrible, which is one of the reasons I don't believe popular YouTubers anymore.

I went to a couple of stores and saw the performance of the S22 Ultra, and frankly it stuttered and lagged even in the demo version.

So far, no phone can really replace mine Mate 40 Pro(If it just had GMS...)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmyTheBun:
I know it's work, but is there a chance you can record a slow motion of the display as you scroll on chrome open tabs, switch apps and maybe scroll and stuff on YouTube etc?

Edit; how do I delete the double post!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmyTheBun:
I know it's work, but is there a chance you can record a slow motion of the display as you scroll on chrome open tabs, switch apps and maybe scroll and stuff on YouTube etc?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] GTR_Ramsay:
att 256gb model and its hell

scrolling is choppy as ever especially in folders on the homescreen. im about to flash it soon and see if it helps. i hope it does because when i compared mine to the unlocked models at bestbuy it was a night and day difference in performance. My att model has me very upset about this performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zsmalley:
Thanks, I haven't upgraded in a whole it was hold on my last phone. It works
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Well I just looked and mines the flip

I just realized the one I got as part of the pre-order is the smart view

Take it out of case and screen protector. Does it work now?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Nope no issues at all, I come from a Note20 Ultra 5G 512GB Snapdragon AT&T and it's running a bit faster that my Note20 Ultra 5G 512GB Snapdragon compared both no lags, Sorry to hear your one having theses lags, guess some got lag and some don't.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
As i mentioned above just now on a quote.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Btw it's on a UAG Monarch Red Case with a Dome glass protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Battery seems slightly better today but not perfect..also I just have another bug with amazon prime video.. try to watch arsenal game but phone keeps rebooting. 😒
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmyTheBun:
I'm confused. Are you like agreeing to use another phone to slow motion and are going to upload it?

This is my dad's s20 FE less than a week after purchase with almost no apps
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
My bad i quoted from person, and i don't use slow motion or video stuff I'm more of a business person so i use the phone for that, and yes i do watch YouTube and stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmyTheBun:
Ok that's not normal even for a note 10 that I had 2 years ago. I included a video a bit above, it's mostly the app switching and scrolling in chrome YouTube etc that's laggy, the settings menu and app drawer are perfect for me. Basic things work
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] maddoggin:
Am I missing something here, is this only the exynos version or snapdragon also? And if your having these issues why don't you return the phone? Obviously there's something happening to your phone because it doesn't seem to be widespread. I have the s22 ultra from tmobile and I'm not having any issues described here. I came from the s21 ultra and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Screen is brighter cleaner more crisp than s21, battery is still learning so can't comment on that yet but seems to be good. Absolutely no. Lag whatsoever, seems smooth on snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and all other apps I use. All in all I'm very happy I bought this phone! If I were you id take the phone in and get another one!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
This may be the straw that broke the camels back for Exynos. They had a bad reputation before this disaster so where will it go from here? Spiraling downward at a rapid rate. Qualcomm and Apple are ending their partnerships. So who else is using Exynos Chipsets? Vivo, that's it! It's time Samsung rids itself of this never ending problem child and chart a new course.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] maddoggin:
Sorry, after reading a few articles on exynos version I apologize for my ignorance in my comment. Seems to me maybe samsung needs to end its relationship with exynos we will see. Good news is there might be a software that can fix the issue? Display issue anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmyTheBun:
Could you maybe record your screen in slow motion as you use it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
You actually hit the root of the problem on the head. Samsung needs to settle on one SoC for it's flagship smartphones. Devote the resources to ensure whatever Samsung pursues, be it producing their own or subcontracting it to others, it's a solid, dependable chipset. This back and forth that's been going on for years between Exynos and Snapdragon needs to end. One year Exynos is superior, the next it's Snapdragon. Enough already!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I think the folks bashing and cancelling exynos are forgetting the fact that less competition in this space will likely mean higher prices in the future. I'd rather Samsung clean up its act and get back on the horse or consumers like us are going to be the left holding the bag in the end..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Appreciate your logic but consider this. How in the world could Samsung's Quality Control not be aware of this epic failure before shipping these units? If they tested just ten devices, which isn't very many, they would have observed the defects. It would seem Samsung can't even find the horse at this point, forget about jumping on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iron@ss:
Current builds for the Samsung S22 Ultra Exynos and Snapdragon models are...

EXYNOS (S908B) EUROPEAN

S908BXXU1AVA7

Build date = 08 JAN 2022

Android Security patch = 01 JAN 2022

SNAPDRAGON (S908E) INTERNATIONAL

S908EXXU1AVB3

Build date = 07 FEB 2022

Android Security patch = 01 FEB 2022

Hopefully, this means a very quick release for the Exynos (S908B) model to at least bring the February Security patch to it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
I'm actually shocked they haven't released a patch for the EUX model today on release date, can't believe it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] valrod:
Do you have your Saving Powermode switched on ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] valrod:
Same heree, also have the Exynos Processor. One thing helps: In the Display settings, switch to FHD+, you will see a noticable difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mcsti:
Day 1 update is available in the UK, 811.19mb for S22 Ultra...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Confirmed
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] From0toHero:
I always hear the battery is learning this and that. What do you people understand under the battery is learning? The only thing the mobile learns is this. It analyzes which apps u use a lot and which not. The apps you don’t use are put in to a deep sleep state. That’s it. How much battery percentage do you think can be won this way? It’s in the low on digit percentage. Sometimes it seems like people expect the mobile to last 10 hours longer after the “learning” phase. But this is nothing to be taken to seriously.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] acbdo6:
I confirm an update, 811mb. We'll see the improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lennyuk:
Update here in the UK unlocked device too - OTA is very slow though, I guess their servers are being hammered.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] acbdo6:
Still see same lag with animations with One UI launcher. Besides, if I change to nova launcher the wifi and battery icons and clock have disappeared from the main homescreen.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SamFR:
Update available in France too
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
After update all my screen problems are fixed..phone feels little bit smoother also updated twitter and scrolling Is alot better but still not perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lawtq:
Good news. Let's know what you think about battery life after this update, when you feel you've had enough time

Does the refresh rate go down to 1. Or still at 24hz minimum?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Yeah I will do mate.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] flashflash:
Refresh rate drops to 24hz, not 1hz.

Feels better but still not great, very app dependent.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hello00:
$1,300 just to end up with a phone worse than the P6P
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Tommy6860:
Wait, this post was created on the 17th and you got the S22 the Monday before, which would have been the 14th. The first preorders didn't happen until the 10th and the very first phone that made it into hands of actual customers happened on 21st. this can be googled easily. When I pre-ordered mine on the 11th, it said expected delivery date was Feb 25 and I received it on the 22nd. I was floored. In any case I have not experienced that with my phone.

Are you perhaps talking about another Samsung phone name?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Tommy6860:
Return it, as you're well within that window of free returns.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Just watching this thread as I'm tempted by the s22u. I have the Zfold3 with the Sd888, and it's like night and day compared with the P6P I owned, very fast and smooth so it can't be anything to do with the OneUI, I really wonder if this is an Exynos 2200 issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
LOL, that's debatable.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nmc_alves®:
My preofder 9 february and receyved the 18, somme people receyved earlier for sure....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] stephieeeeee:
adding to the list of people with this problem, I've had my S22 plus for 5 days and it is VERY laggy and glitchy. to the point that i'd like to return to my olddddd but trusty note 8.

I haven't had problem with the battery it's actually quite good. but many apps I can't use normally like Snapchat, Instagram, any website that has more than text to load.

it's a real problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Return it, other and maybe even better phones will come (more stable to)...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jcwxguy:
Looks like another update dropped today, supposedly fixed the display glitch
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] stephieeeeee:
from? I have at&t and didn't get an update yet
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] San Diego:
2-3 hours after lite use?? GTFO. You are wrong, sir. Clearly wrong. I do not belive your claim.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JaySoul:
POST-UPDATE UPDATE: I've had the Exynos (UK, 8/128) since Monday and got the update yesterday.

This thing is all over the place.

Battery - ran it down from 100% to 18% and it got 3h18m on screen time (this is not good, right?!).

Screen - no actual issues on my unit so that's OK.

Twitter - one minute it scrolls smoothly, the next it's so bad I seriously get motion sickness. I'm a Twitter addict, cannot have this!

FIngerprint reader - this thing is all over the place! Really inconsistent, not like the YouTube reviews!

Memory - that seems like one of the biggest issues, it's carrying so many random apps in the memory. Have to clean the memory in Settings just to get decent performance with some stuff.

Really trying not to nitpick as I want to love the U22 Ultra... but when a 2 year old chip is outperforming it side by side so drastically, I think I might just keep my Z Fold 2 and return this one and wait for the Z Fold 4 or something.

There are clearly issues, whatever they are. Clearly the Snapdragon chip doesn't have as many problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] elmor0:
Try changing the extra RAM allocation from memory - some related issues to this apparently.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] freebee269:
I don't know where you are located. But if you can give the honor find 5x pro a shot. I am hearing some really good things about that and that gimbal on the camera is ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I had terrible battery life for the first few days but now it's on par with my s21 ultra ..with more optimization I hope it could be even better with the future updates...note I have 2 sim cards activated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi always on and few hours 5g today.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] headcreepz:
Please don't say that!! Just traded my p6p in for this last night.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gingi999:
You know the first couple days I feel like all the downloads and background process really put a hamper on new phones. If by day number four or five you're still having the same issue I would say return it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jcwxguy:
Galaxy S22 gets another update: Are the screen issues fixed?

The Galaxy S22 series, which became available for purchase today, is already getting the March 2022 security update. In fact, ...

www.sammobile.com
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] garret1976:
I wrote earlier that my S22 was pretty smooth after clean install but after latest March update its not as smooth again. I already noticed it before updating it wasn’t as smooth as after clean install but latest update made it even worse.

I probably return the phone because I can and don’t want to wait for update. I really liked the phones design and display. Camera is a little better than S21 but battery is worse. I’m now typing this on iPhone 13 Pro which is incredible smooth and has unbelievable battery life. I’m a Android user since Galaxy S4 but I’m probably switching to the iPhone for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _DroidLife:
I can't tell you why but disabling Edge Panels seems to have fixed the UI lag, at least over my testing for the past 30 minutes.

It's worth a try folks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmyTheBun:
Hey! I have a note 10 and it actually made it smoother I think? It does still drop frames but way less. Hmm I wonder If it's placebo!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _DroidLife:
I know right? I've spent so much time over analysing the UI delay I don't know what's true anymore 🙃
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dave7802:
I cannot understand what they have done with this device / OS

Exynos user, S22 ultra, Various apps or Games lag / frame drop / skip frames make it unplayable

Still have my Note 20 Ultra, Fire up the same Games and Apps and i have 0 issues.

I am due to send back my Note 20 ultra today, as it was part of a trade in, really unsure what to do

(This is with the latets Update 1st March Security Patch)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brockyneo:
I'm In the same situation I've got my s21 ultra exynos about to trade in haven't even switched the s22 ultra on at the moment but heard bathing but negative things I might take the plunge and send off my s21 ultra and just hope it's because of the new chipset that updates will iron out all the problems
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lennyuk:
don't assume you will have problems without trying it first - not everyone is having issues - many issues are very much situational depending on a lot of different settings and app variables all occurring at the same time - something you might never experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brockyneo:
True I'm just installing the update now and will try it out is the new exynos 2200 and gpu technically better then the one in the s21 ultra (exynos 2100) main reason I updated
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brockyneo:
Just having a quick play around now all seems fine at the moment only thing is when watching hdr on YouTube the s22 is a lot duller then my s21 I've enabled extra brightness etc hope this is just a app issue
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] scramjones4920:
I did a full transfer to my my s22 ultra from my s21 ultra and it was lagging a lot so I cleared my cache now its running a lot smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Hmmm i do understand you, i have the same thoughts.

I canceled my preorder in the beginning, then i could not let it be a0nd bought it 5 days ago, but yesterday i return it and now i dont know what to do.

I tried iphone 3 back in time, hated it... But now, hmm im just afraid its to closed a system for me? But anyway i haåve my awesome s0ta0ble mi 11 ultra stable eu rom here, but need aå new phone (buy 2-3 phones each year).

Im confused right now... Miss a Huawei Mate phone with 5g and new stable (as always) Kirin chip, but this we know is not existing 🤬
