Mine will be delivered today as well. 450 gms so no hope of any buds
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dr.Gonzo105:
I use an app called superclone. It helped me install the same app again but virtually in a way.

Like Samsung's dual app.

But using those cloning apps from Google play store, you can clone any app installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheQuarterMile:
Do you really need a screen guard? It's gorilla glass victus +! I mean most of you seem to be buying rugged cases and tempered screen protectors.. You'll seem to rough use the phone alot 😬. I just got a Spigen Liquid Armour case. Was using the phone caseless on the first day 😅

Also any recommendations for a good 45w charger? I though my Dash charger would provide a decent charging speed but it's painfully slow.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
I also saw it on Amazon, but some of the reviews are quite nasty which got me worried. Let me know if you end up buying, then I'll get it too.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dr.Gonzo105:
I asked the dealer I bought it from to apply the screen protector for free. They already had some phone specific ones with them. By the time I collected the phone from him he was all out of screen protectors. Told me to come today evening for it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:

OnePlus 65w charger

Read somewhere on reddit that it charges the phone in an hour, 5-10 mins faster than Samsung chargers 🤣

That's the fastest I have seen the phone getting charged
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Bought this as it shows delivery earlier then that one

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Day to day usage, oily dirty hands sometimes spoil the screen, hence
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Well you're right, I'm actually waiting for delivery of the smart clear view cover which will make the screen protector kind of redundant. But I will still put one because when I sell the phone after a few years I don't want them to give me a bad deal because of screen scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Is everything working fine after putting it on? I mean touch response, S-pen, fingerprint scanner etc..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shail2411:
Has anyone got the smart club points credited yet? I am also not able to see the phone transaction itself in sclub transaction. And the customer care guys are way too dumb. After checking for 10 mins told me to drop an email. Atleast with these points I can get the adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
I swear it sounded so shady that I immediately said no. I'm actually quite surprised that this "jugaad" is coming from an official Samsung store at an upscale shopping mall. It kind of caught me off guard
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Just bought, not got the delivery yet
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Ok pls share your thoughts when you use it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lycan_codex:
It's mostly for the micro scratches. Any glass would scratch if it comes it contact with sand particles which invariably gets deposited in your pockets. Even in Bangalore where I don't go out much, I still get dust and sand particles which gets deposited in the pockets. And after a certain time, you would notice these micro scratches which becomes visible at certain angles...and you can't unsee it once u notice. Even with all these cases you would need a bare minimum screen protector which keeps the phone scratch free. This is just my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cool.darshak:
Weight of package is 0.5 kg. 😆😆😆
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
It’s not an issue with the app launching. It’s an error within the app stating device not supported.

Anyways tried cloning. Didn’t work. Samsung tech support hung up when they realised they are clueless about this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sunny1119:
cashify or cashify diagnostics?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Cashify Diagnose
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kun8l88:
How? or do you mean I can order the Buds 2 for 999 after I get the S22 delivered? Since there was no option to add the Buds2 at the point when I ordered the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
For S22/S22+ Buds offer is redemption based which is after phone is activated & it reflects in Samsung Shop app under "For You" section under "See if I am eligible" option
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thegr8anand:
Sadly i had to cancel my S22 Ultra 512gb order as unknown to me my exchange s20+ has a small crack on the backside. Always in cover i myself didnt think to check before placing the order. Was getting excellent exchange value of 32k incl the exchange bonus.

Will now skip probably and wait for other phone or s23 next year.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kun8l88:
Got it ! Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Anyone cancelled their online order on Samsung India? There’s no cancel button available. Does CC do it in the backend?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kun8l88:
I am exchanging my OnePlus 5T which showed 11,200 on the samsung site and 8600 on the cashify app I installed on my phone. Any clue what price the Cashify guys would consider?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
If you are doing deferred via Samsung you should demand the Samsung quoted price. The Cashify guys should honour it. Whether they do is a completely different tragic story.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
The price offered by Samsung includes an exchange bonus which won't be there if you independently check on Cashify. Please refer to my screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sunny1119:
Did you go for deferred exchange? Do you have to manually schedule an appointment or they call you?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Yes I went for deferred exchange. Once my phone was delivered Samsung sent me a Cashify link (on WhatsApp) which asked me to choose payment mode and then automatically scheduled a pick up appointment for this Saturday
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Abhinav Jain:
Just got my Black Galaxy Watch 4 delivered by Amazon. Phone delivery showing between 12th March - 20th March. Also ordered spigen watch liquid air armour and glass protector. They will be delivered tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
S22 preorders come with the Buds2 at 999. It was just a joke around the Buds2 fiasco with the S22U preorders.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
ESR Liquid Skin is the best imo, almost similar to the pre applied one which came with S21U
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
Watch4 is packed, weight is 0.19kg 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Maybe they are sending just the straps. Watch alag se aayega.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I hope they don’t make you install that obnoxious Cashify Diagnose app and if they do, it works correctly. There’s a lot of people reporting all sorts of diagnostics failures on the app on Twitter.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
oops i meant 0.19kg
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
They should ideally use Samsung Diagnostics in the Samsung Members app.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Delhivery has such bad service in a tier 1 city like hyd I really doubt how they are gaining this much business.

Since yesterday night it is showing status as arrived at hyderabad airport and hasn't moved to out for delivery even till now. And with each minute I am just getting anxious on will they be able to deliver today or not.

No customer care at all, wrote to them still no response in last 24 hours. Tracking is vague af as well.. No way to know if I'll get or not!

It's like I can feel it but can't touch it yet :(
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Don't invest in their IPO
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sunny1119:
Ah ok, my phone was delivered 2 days back, but did not receive any link yet! Will wait for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Hell yes. Why depend on some 3rd party shady stuff when you have built in diagnostics?

Anyways I’ve given up. Sending a mail to the ceo from the portal. Refund is all in the air as CC are refusing to cancel also since the package is neither with me nor with them. It’s with BD.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
I think in my case it won't matter much because I am not exchanging with a flagship phone. Out of the total estimated exchange value of ₹10k, about 50% is Samsung exchange bonus. Cashify might want to play on the other 50%. So kitna hi kam karega. But anyway if they give me a very bad deal I will show them the door
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
You can ask BD to initiate return. Once it's returned, you can get a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Check WhatsApp closely, in my case the message came on the next day. The sender was "Samsung Shop" which also sent the phone invoice and tracking link earlier
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
Right, Cashify only makes sense for old phones where the exchange bonus is more than it's value.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Planning to do offline for the wife’s ultra.

Does anyone know if official Samsung retail outlets also make you install the Cashify Diagnose app on your old phone?

Want to make sure before I get stuck in another trap.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
I don't think so, offline stores have nothing to do with Cashify.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
I did get value of my phone checked at offline store and they just took some photo and sent to third party and then talked to that person on call. Don't think it was Cashify
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cool.darshak:
No they just see your phone and give you quote
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yeah it’s always been like that until last year. I used to simply hand over my phone and they used to either give cash or deduct the amount from the bill. I thought maybe even the offline Samsung outlets have started using Cashify to diagnose.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Finally got my Samsung S22 Ultra 256GB black beast delivered today.

I had instant exchange with my previous phone, I downloaded the Cashify diagnose app before it self and ran all the tests, but some how the courier guys app couldn't verify it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app from play store and voila it worked immediately.

Coming to package its was .45kg per invoice and I received only phone, no watch active 4 (was hoping for it), no Galaxy Buds (was praying for it) and no Galaxy smart Tag (not sure how to track that now :p ).

I ordered on 22 Feb and used Galaxy VIP pass which I brought because of smart tag offer.

anybody else in similar situation who is waiting for both Watch 4 and smart tag but received phone. I see that few people received phone, watch4 and tag in same box.

This is my first phone that did not ship with a charger, feels weird for having paid a bomb and not to receive any accessory except for Data cable and Sim card ejector.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
Your watch will be shipped in a day or two, and tag would be shipped separately as well.

The unboxing experience has indeed gone down. But, the environment factor somewhat has started making sense to me. My last year's 25W charger works perfectly fine with this phone. It would be bad if they keep changing the max charging speeds every year and release a new charger along with it.

Having a longer view, in 5 years, all these phones and chargers would be in a landfill unless we start reusing stuff at scale.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
I also had VIP pass, am eligible for smart tag, and bought S22 Ultra 512gb. So far I have received only the phone (0.45kg) and the 45w charger (bought it separately and it was delivered much earlier). Still waiting for smart tag, watch4 and smart clear view cover. Like you, I have no more hopes for the buds
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Thanks for the info.

Planning to flip the watch active 4 and smart tag on OLX once I get them.

haven't installed yet, looking to get a good case either Spigen liquid air or Ringke Onyx. I used both Spigen and Ringke for my S7 plus, S8 plus and my currently daily driver S9 plus.

any suggestions which is better.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Watch shipped 🥳🥳🥳

0.19Kg weight before people keep asking about weight.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
I prefer Ringke Onyx for its flat sides with great grip.

Currently using UAG on my S22U
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
The Buds offer was the only reason why I brought on 22nd, it was a big FOMO type stuff. Deep down I did knew I had no chance.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
Just enjoy your new phone now, you were not the only one who fell for it! Plus they gave away 5k buds2 to the useless EpicUnboxing event with no regards for the online preorders. There were 70k pre bookings in the first 12hrs
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
In my experience so far, it goes as follows - the smartcafe guy will check the phone (to be exchanged) physically, then ask you a few routine questions, then call someone over phone for best resale value. Few will take some pics of your phone and circulate them in their WhatsApp groups. Done!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Honestly I got to know about buds offer after buying the phone on 22nd Feb. But I'm not too sad about not winning it because I would rather prefer Buds Pro over Buds 2. If you look at Samsung international websites, Buds Pro is more expensive than Buds 2 but here in India they have kept Buds 2 prices higher to mislead consumers. Buds 2 is a successor of Buds original, Buds Pro is a premium product
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Samsung has been pretty crappy in its marketing and customer service.

Will order the case now and wait for it, won't take risk with the phone till then. Was showing my Mom the phone and for a second she sort of slipped it and caught it back :eek:.

So until the case arrives will keep staring at the box:p.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
My plan was to sell the Buds incase I get them to lower the ownership cost. Well that ship has sailed, so now on to next things.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
That's too much stress for 1 day, please take care 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
I think there will be a flood of buds2 in the used market now because of Samsung's giveaway, so it wouldn't have fetched you much anyway. But yes ownership cost thodi kam ho sakti thi. Btw did you use HDFC option while buying the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Oh I learnt a lot about Samsung cc today after being a day 1 buyer of every S flagship since Galaxy S.

They want me to get Blue Dart to troubleshoot a broken app made by Cashify that doesn’t work on a Samsung phone.

I tried reminding them Blue Dart is just the delivery partner. They took offence and hung up on me.

It's 7 days returnable also, so should definitely try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sunny1119:
A question guys, in deferred exchange do you have to give everything back or just the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
UAG one
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I did deferred last year. Cashify guy insisted on everything in the box. I argued and showed him TnC at that time which mentioned accessories are optional at customer discretion.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
https://amzn.to/364Tbc3
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sunny1119:
Thanks, I just want to keep the charger lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
understandable! 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
I did the exchange and used HDFC credit card as well. But did not get any cashback from HDFC. I escalated it to customer care on this on technicality as they did not mentioned explicitly on Feb 22nd that cashback and exchange bonus both cannot be used in same order. They updated the terms and condition on 23rd that you can't club both offers. It only prompted EMI offer or exchange bonus on 22nd Feb, I paid in single payment no EMI.

They have escalated to their internal department for further enquiry after I raised question on term and conditions and how they changed it on 23rd.

Let see how they respond.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Problem is the outsourcing of work, they don't have proper dispute resolution in this terms.

Also if you notice the deferred exchange has higher exchange value than instant exchange.

Because in instant exchange, you pay reduced amount to Samsung and if exchange doesn't go through you can refuse delivery and get your money back.

But in case of deferred exchange you pay full and wait for refund once the exchange takes place, that way if they reject exchange later, you cant return the phone back and end up paying full value.

Smart business tactic, but poor customer relationship.

I will any day lose 500rs to 1000rs extra exchange value rather than risk full amount, because i don't trust 3rd party exchanges.

I got the UAG monarch kevlar case,esr lens protector, spigen neo flex films weeks ago. but unfortunately booked s22u 512gb @Local samsung dealership(tamilnadu) (ps*first one to book tho) . any idea when they will get it delivered?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Lolz, Don't think anybody dropped on my Day 1. At least hopefully not :p.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
Mar 11th or 12th same thing here booked with local dealer 512gb model :(

Only thing left is to arrange a baby shower for the phone! 😛
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Exactly same problem here, I paid it in full thinking that I'll get the cashback but then haven't received anything till now. Please let me know if they get back to you!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dr.Cassius:

Wife had won the buds.

Blue Dart attempted delivery again today. Big box like the size of a Xbox Series S. Same error. The darned Cashify diagnose app just doesn’t work. Guy took the package back. Now it will sit with blue dart for a couple of days after which they will return it back to Samsung and then refund will initiate.

Damn 😣

So much for winning buds and yet so far…

After I lost all hopes with Delhivery, I took matters in my hand. Found where the nearest Delhivery distribution center is and found delivery guy number from society app.. As soon as I got to know item had arrived to nearest hub.. I went there and just collected the phone. Obviously they denied first saying you'll get tomorrow but was able to convince them and he finally gave it to me... 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
It's like milk supplier didn't deliver milk packets so you went to dairy and took it directly
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Haha.. Experience with Delhivery was no better than a milk man.. Ideally I could have also got yesterday or even day before but because of their slow service I finally got it today. If I were not to collect it myself today, I would have to again wait till tomorrow with no guarantee for tomorrow as well

Hello

Is there any mod in Samsung cam that can do this kind of pictures? I had it on my privious phone and I used it alot of time. It was called waterfall blur, but I cant find anything like this on my Samsung s22u. Please for help
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] peca_slo:
Yes i saw that but it become a problem when is daylight and you need some kind of extra lenses otherwise you get white exposure. with low iso and longer shutter you can do only when u have low light. Or i didnt understand everything ok
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lycan_codex:
You understood it correctly. I love long exposures too and that is why i am excited to use the expert raw app which gives us 16 bit raw images. You can also use multiple image stacking and get the desired effect in photoshop.

https://expertphotography.com/daytime-long-exposure-photo-stacking/#:~:text=It usually takes some time,a smooth, long-exposure.

You also need to do this with an eye on the exposure levels and histogram. Typically small ND filters (Moment for example) can be used to slow down the shutter speed without over-exposure. similar to how you would do with proper cameras.
