Disable the AT&T apps you don't use, in my case this is -all- of them. Use either a Package Disabler ore adb edits.

Disable carrier, Google and app feedback. Disable Google Firebase. Part of the problem could be cloud backup. Playstore and the OTA update app are forever running in the background too unless you put an end to it.

I thought the same thing you're thinking with my AT&T N10+, then I got an unlock one. At least on the N10+'s both variants are nearly identical in appearance and operation. The unlock version had enough of its own bloatware🤣

Aside from the unique bloatware to that variant my Package Disabler settings are near identical.

Both were warm running battery hogs until they are optimized, after which it's hard to believe it's the same device. The AT&T variant was worse before optimizing, but the unlocked one wasn't much better🤣

The 2nd one was a snap to optimize, very little learning curve.

It maybe a glitch in that variant's firmware but just as likely a settings issue. Start by disabling -all- power management... destroyer of worlds.

Precisely and after 1 more article around Samsung promises/lies, i cancel my order.

Now i wait and see whats up and what's down in all this... Good luck there's still some other good phones out there.

Atleast i still have my Mi 11 ultra with STABLE eu rom 👌🏻
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Worst part around Samsung these days is, they give minimal changes in their new releases... No really competition anylonger since Huawei got kicked (my opinion).

Last year i bought both the S21 ultra and MI 11 Ultra in the same time and S21u was pretty good, but i better like mi11u, so i sold s21u again.

But then i saw the S22U/Note model and then i was sold, i love the stylus and even use it every day on my Tab S7 which for me is an awesome tablet... But this release (S22 serie) seems catastrophic. (i had most S and Note series phone, even the explosion version, was it Note 5, which works good for me to.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Note 7 was the Mission Impossible variant🤣

Personally I would have kept it just to drive Samsung nuts.

Samsung seems to have started falling apart (again) after the N10+ release. They are fractured and not focused on navigating the best course in spite of great available technology. A lot of money and resources were wasted on the Fold series. It been better spent on their flagships.

Their camera pixel count has exceeded the optimum number needed for best quality images by 4 fold*. Gimmick not rubber on the asphalt.

The N10+ was at the near optimum pixel count for sensors of that size. Samsung has made a complete marketing mess for themselves in more ways than one.

* most think 12mp is best for this format. The top line Canon EOS R3 pro shooter is around 26mp with a 36 x 24 mm (Full-Frame) CMOS. It eats these silly smart phones for a snack. 108mp?🤣

is a s22 ultra stock firmware flash possible ? is that hard to do ? id love to have stock samsung firmware device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
I've had Samsung S Series for quite a few years. My favorites are the S7 Edge, S10+ and the S21 Ultra which is a solid device if you stick with Android 11, OneUI 3.1.

Android 12, OneUI 4.0 is when all these problems arose. Samsung has released 4 Final Releases of this software combination and it's still not stable. I feel a number of the problems coming to light in the S22 Ultra are related to Android 12, One 4.1, it's still a problem.

There's a lot of B.S. Samsung is pushing as well. They claimed there were no production issues with the Exynos 2200 SoC and the chipset works great. Now we're finding out it's clock is supposed to run at 1.9GHz but it seriously overheats at anything beyond 1.29GHz. It under performs the Snapdragon SoC in some benchmarks by 47%. Those are reasons enough to steer clear of the Exynos device.

Then we find out the 45W Charging saves only 4 minutes over 25W Charging. That's an absolute joke! Then in battery life tests performed under identical settings the S22 Ultra drains in 8.5 hours compared to the S21 Ultra which lasts 11.25 hours. That's a huge step backwards.

Now Samsung is claiming they have to delay shipping S22's because of record demand. I don't believe them for a second, they lost control of output when only a small fraction of Exynos Chipsets were usable from an entire wafer during production runs. They ran to Qualcomm to make up the difference but those targets couldn't be met.

If you receive your S22 and everything works great, good for you! I think these issues are going to haunt Samsung for some time to come, updates may help fix some defects however a number of these problems run deeper with the S22. Samsung blew serious chunks on this device which is going to come back to bite them.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
MY Zfold 3 is very stable and fast on OneUI 4.0. I think Samsung have problems with the Exynos 2200 and a brand new GPU. Anecdotally there seems to be issues popping up with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Cant agree more, but ya... Such a shame, i would love to have a "Note" phone again... But luckily i was able to cancel my preorder yesterday, better this way.

And do i see it all being good next couple of month, i can just order again.

I had no problem at all with my former S21U to, was pretty good, even i sold it, but because i liked the MI11U better.

I feel little sad to see the way Samsung goes and their behavior to, their lies etc.... I really would love to see a strong player like Huawei at the market again, it would affect Samsung to be more effective and giving more then the minimal updates in new releases.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] olafsand:
S22 ultra lowest hz is 24. Isnt it be 1Hz?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jericho246:
I think the refresh rate monitor doesn't show 1hz. my S21U only goes down to 48hz according to the refresh rate monitor. But I know it's supposed to go down to 10hz.

Either way it doesn't really matter much, because I've used flagship phones that don't have LTPO displays and some have had better battery life. For example the Zenfone 7 Pro and Huawei P40 Pro. LTPO is a gimmick to me. My opinion from my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Tysss:
Cross-post, but just want to see if anyone else has any of this...

I have a mountain of problems too, with S22 Ultra black 12/256.

I've got:

Overheating and rebooting in my pocket when doing nothing

Random hanging whilst scrolling down a long list

Intermittent flashing green dots (I think four) across the screen

Horrendous battery life (had it for only 48 hours, but still)

S-Pen sometimes doesn't fire the Air Actions menu when removed (or basically just doesn't notice it's been removed?)

And not really a problem, but after 4 generations it still can't record HDR and 60 frames per second, when in 4k.

This is a huge disappointment, and the fastest tech return ever from me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Looks like Sammy quietly changed the specs before launch. So in other words they lied or exaggerated. According the this the s22 series is 48Hz - 120Hz. There are other websites saying the S22+ and Ultra might hit 24Hz on a static image on the home screen. So you probably are never going to see 1hz which ws only achieved in a Samsung Demo and not on any real world apps.

Samsung tweaks Galaxy S22 refresh rate specs before release | Digital Trends

Samsung has backtracked on the variable refresh rate specs it previously revealed for the upcoming Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus.

www.digitaltrends.com
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arsenal74:
S22 Ultra Exynos 12gb RAM SM-S908B. Arrived today and it is super laggy in the UI, noticed it immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Everyone's device is different with respect to which apps or software has been installed. So one phone will have compatibility issues while another won't. Yes, Exynos/AMD 2200 is a mess. It was touted as a revolutionary chipset for gaming with Raytracing when in fact not one game has implemented Raytracing on a mobile phone. Instead of revolutionary it's a huge embarrassment.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
I'm just glad I didn't pre order one.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's overlooking the elephant in the room; how much are these displays trading off in color rendering index, white point, gamma calibration for variable refresh rates at different brightness levels?

Impact on reliability and calibration?

All Samsung flagship variable refresh rate displays have been seeing higher failure rates.

Samsung also hype gimmicked out by jacking up the cam pixel sensor numbers for the sake of pixel count rather quality. 20mp is likely too many mp for sensors this size let alone 40+mp!

The high pixel count doesn't create confidence in me that this is an improved cam system, just the opposite.

You'll notice the ultra wide angle cam, the one that has to capture the most information without a flash... is still 12mp. Yes, well?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MarkosMarkouG:
Same issues here.

The phone was purchased in Estonia about 10 days ago and was delivered last Friday on the 18th of February.Very happy to have received it a week before official launch I spent last weekend trying to set it up from scratch without apps transfer.

Application by application to make sure everything is installed properly.

So far huge disappointment.

I am migrating from Huawei P30 pro that works flawlessly after 27 of non stop usage. (I must have restrated it only 10 times all those months max)

The main issues are:

A) Fast Battery drain. 20% during the night and max 5-6 hours normal use until now during the day

B) Lot's of apps freezes especially when trying to wake up/unlock the phone

C) most of the above lead to the phone freezing completely for 3-4 minutes and rebooting by itself. Yesterday it rebooted 13 times within 4 hours after factory reset and operating with minimum amount of control apps

And know the dilemma, do I take it to the authorized local dealer with terrible reviews and reports about scratching screens etc or B wait for the first OTA software update "hoping" for those issues to be fixed.

P.S. A big lesson those last days, never take a new device for granted I found myself setting up from scratch my previous with 30+ applications some of those a bit tricky to setup properly (telco engineer here).

The phone is a beauty, amazing camera, the pen is working very nicely but the software and power management are a very bad 1300 EUR joke

Anyone else in Estonia, having the same issues? It would be better to unit voices is we are handed over units that shouldn't have found their way to early adopters.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ‬1‬:
Anyone ordered from the UK and having the same problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Samsung power management never did work right. Disable all global power management and go from there on a individual app battery hog case by case basis to correct the excessive battery consumption.

Power management will likely cause erratic behavior... it always has.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MarkosMarkouG:
I would be more than happy to that and start creating a profile maybe as soon as the phone becomes a bit more stable and I don't waste the time that i need to be productive for my work on this.

It is such a pitty, I had Samsungs in the past but this is a small, expensive disaster :(
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arsenal74:
Me, mine arrived today and it is super laggy so far
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ‬1‬:
Sh.t. Sorry to hear that. Hope It will be fixed with an update asap which I believe that it will be. I've just cancelled my order and decided to wait a bit more.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
It's time consuming if you never did it before on a Samsung. My N975U was a hot running battery hog. I was like you, not enough time to muck with it and didn't need a hand warmer.

I was ticked.

Online help guides were mostly useless... I optimized it the hard way and it took a while.

I used a Package Disabler, Karma Firewall and settings changes, with discretion, largely by trial and error to dial it in.

Today it runs great but it wasn't always like that🤣

I bought a new N975U1 about 4 months ago... that's how much I like it. It was a snap to optimize... near identical to optimize as it's twin.

Both are stock one running on 9, the newest 10.

Typical N10+ battery usage after being optimized. Try this mode to stop ads globally as it will help.

Mine arrived today with nasty display issues when watching YouTube...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
If you really want a S22 Ultra after seeing these widely reported problems, wait for some user feedback on the Snapdragon powered SoC (ideally manufactured by TSMC) and hope there are no conflicts with Android 12, OneUI 4.1. Expect Samsung to recall the Exynos devices since it's not just software glitches which may be resolved through an update. The experts are saying they believe some issues are defects in the hardware.

After trying to play it on original youtube I figured that the problem was the youtube vanced app..I guess the new Amd gpu wasn't playing nice with that app.i hope I can be sorted once devs update their apps for the new and gpu.

I got my Snapdragon today. I have had it for about 3 hours now and have not noticed any type of lag in the UI at all. I have not noticed any overheating issues either. It is barely warm and I have been using it this whole time. The phone came with 79% battery life and I am at 49% now but I've pretty much had the screen on this whole time setting the phone up. It sucks for the exynos users because based off the one that I have I am not having all these issues that everyone else is. I even went to YouTube and played some 4K videos and don't have that static bar going across the screen.

I have the s22 ultra 256 GB AT&t version
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] naz1911:
Im getting issues on my S22 Ultra as well about 7 minutes in on this video. When the sparkler is burning, green screen corruption randomly occurs.

I do not have any lag on the phone though. Mind you, I'm not a snapchat user.

I got the same with the Dolby test video.

Got another issue too: after about 8 hours of being powered on, it will drop and refuse to find the mobile data connection.

Exynos UK 12/256

This product is NOT ready for release.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] naz1911:
For those of us having issues, I hope you will report it to Samsung first thing in the morning via their web customer support.

If they receive a lot of issues logged, they will have to look at it ASAP. You don't want a tarnished launch for your 2022 flagship product.

I was really happy to get it early, but early and buggy, not a good mix.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
What do you guys think,a software update will fix the issues or is it a hardware problem rather than the software?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ‬1‬:
I've just seen this news about your problem.

Early Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra units may be having a display problem

The Galaxy S22 Ultra leads Samsung's latest smartphone lineup as a replacement for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Some owners of the flagship in Exynos regions aren't too thrilled, though, as their phones appear to suffer from a weird display issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
It clearly needs a big firmware update. The current one is old af.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
That's good news, hopefully more users with Snapdragon SoC's will share similar results. With that said this has been a terrible rollout for the S22 Ultra. I don't see how Samsung could have missed these defects, it boggles the mind. If in fact some of the problems are hardware related as a few experts are claiming, Samsung will have to issue a recall on affected devices. That's going to hurt, big time!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Rest assured Samsung is well aware of the defects by now. They're just waiting to see how widespread the problems are and how many defects they're up against. I think it's going to take some time before they figure this out. Except numerous updates in the coming weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ‬1‬:
Yes but people are not test subjects and don't deserve any bad experience for a such expensive premium phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
The device was rushed to market likely to dent iPhone sales since they have reclaimed the title of world's best selling mobile phone. To compound the problem this takes place at the same time Exynos/AMD has debuted their "revolutionary" 2200 Chipset which has been plagued with production issues since the get go. You're absolutely correct, the buying public deserves better and Samsung will pay a price. I predict the S22 will sell fewer devices than the S21, which suffered a huge decline in units compared to the S20. Samsung's claim they have to delay shipping due to record demand is baloney, they've run short of Exynos Chipsets and Qualcomm can't bridge that gap.

T-Mobile carrier model....... Performance seems sort of meh.. Ran geekbench...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TechSilver13:
I got my phone today. I don't use Chrome snapcjat or tiktok but I do have over 150 apps installed that I use. I'd imagine tiktok and chrome are constantly running taking data or you have a 3rd party app that's mining your device. There has always been a little lag within certain apps because they aren't optimized for Android the way they are for iOS. I've seen it since the S20 Ultra and S21 Ultra, the S22 is no different. It is a new SoC so maybe the apps themselves need fixed but if you are just using tiktok chrome and snapchat maybe get an iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iron@ss:
Does not compare very well to last year's Galaxy S21 Ultra on the Exynos chipset...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lywyn:
Had mine for 24 hours. Charged it up and 90% and played with S-Pen and phone for hours showing it off. This morning I'm on 50% and 4 hours SOT. No lag after the initial smart switch and not felt any heat of it.

Great phone and I am loving it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JaySoul:
Can totally confirm this.

I've got a Z Fold 2 that I'll be trading in that is incredibly smooth, fast, buttery etc etc.

Received the S22 Ultra 128GB/8GB RAM Exynos (I'm in UK) variant yesterday. Absolutely shocking stuttering, lagging, bizarre.

I'll give it a few days to settle down as I assumed it might just need a software update but not great start. Some apps are fine (e.g. Google Photos) but Twitter is terrible, the app switching is awful too.

Might have got a lemon or do you think the 12GB RAM would make a difference? It's so weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
Mine is 12gb uk exynos and it has some lagging issues but I'm hoping an update should iron the glitches or I will have to send the phone back and use my s21 ultra for another year.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lukreaner:
I got the S22U Exynos 8GB version on saturday. Performance and memory management is absolutely horrible. My older Oneplus 7T Pro is much smoother and can hold many more apps in memory. Here is a video i just made showing the issues (Sometimes it is actually much worse than in the video)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JaySoul:
Yeah it's weird, my instinct was to wait and see with the update etc. I am also getting a great trade in price for my Z Fold 2, so ideally don't want to lose that offer.

But so many bad reports of this Exynos chip. The battery is draining really quickly and it's very stuttery.

The camera is brilliant, though!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MarkosMarkouG:
Thank you for this post. Are you facing freezing and reboots also? What is the country you bought the device in?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lukreaner:
Freezes yes, especially when unlocking the phone, no reboots yet. I bought the phone in Germany
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Until the Updates come out might want to use FHD resolution instead of WQHD for display issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arsenal74:
I have the 12gb 512GB Exynos and mine is the same. Really stuttery vertical scrolling but also just laggy in general, everything just feels a hair slower than it should.

My s-pen has got stuck a couple of times too.

I am very close to returning it TBH. It is only the fact that my Pixel 6 Pro is not perfect either that gives me pause.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JaySoul:
Yeah it's weird and I'm reticent to lose out on such a great trade-in deal but I'm using the Z Fold 2 and S22 Ultra side by side with the same apps, home screen etc and the difference is genuinely night and day.

The Ultra is a LOT of money and I'll give it a couple of days to see if it improves - if not, I'll send it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xORJSx:
I have found by running Galaxy App Booster in Good Guardians and then turning phone on off (holding vol up and power) and selecting 'Wipe System Cache' the lagging has improved.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arsenal74:
The trade in deal is compelling, I basically got my 512gb model for just over £850 after trade in and then there is the buds and Disney plus offer on top of that.

The only thing I am maybe considering if swapping to the plus while the offers are still on.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FreddeJ:
I agree with everyone else. Its a terrible experience. Just got my S22U here in Sweden and it stutters and is laggy as hell. Scrolling in the twitter app is awful, switching between open tabs in Samsung Internet cannot not be done with out reloading the content etc etc.

Can this be seen also on the other S22 models?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hyelton:
