I had to send mine back cos the speaker was faulty and they replaced it. So the phone was factory reset and now it's running like a dream, only thing it stutters is when I unlock it when I'm out in the sun and the screen is at its brightest
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Received a new FW build "AVE4" (Snapdragon) yesterday. For the first time, I'm finding the S22 Ultra "very smooth" across the UI.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Hopefully us exynos get the same this week, 😎😎😎
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
I find my Snapdragon variant very smooth and fast. Yeah sometimes there are some micro lags here and there but I think the problem is the SystemUI considering that those lags only appear on the "swipe to home" animation and inside the notification panel when there are a lot of notifications available. Other than that, it's all perfect, including battery life, surely a lot better than my experience with the exynos variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
I don't think so :(
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thegios:
Im not aware of any update foe exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Robin56000:
I'm things it's more slower than earlier...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Robin56000:
Actually with the AVDB update, always the same issue of batterie lifetime. And it's not a power usage...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
This isn't much of a mystery. Take out the trash social apps and if Google play Services doesn't fall in line tone it down too.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Robin56000:
yes I know for Snapchat and Instagram but I actualy need these applications. And its not normally a phone how cost more than 1200€ can't be use more than 3 complete hour, however what app you use. Samsung do very bad jobs with the firmware of this phone. I'm starting to lose all hope about Samsung fix all the issue
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Those apps are the problem. I don't allow any social media apps on my devices as they are glaring security risks on multiple ways. If you can use by browser login, do so and get them off the phone!

Try turning off all global power management, the Google based Standby Apps never worked right, at least on Samsung's.

Deal with power hogs on a case by case basis.

How to check: Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active and their bucket state can not be alter. If so global power management is inactive. Good.

If active change these settings in Device Care

Now you have a level playing field to troubleshoot the issues properly rather than the lame dumb bunny shotgun approach. Try closing the apps out after use. Some will not and run at startup like parasites. If so on each app in settings try disabling background usage.

This will not effect global power management settings.

You can try temporarily disabling Google play Services* which is a menace. If you only need once or twice a day to run its dependencies, this is a good choice. At night it can be disabled too. Bad 3rd party apps, Gmail, Playstore and Google backup Transport are known dependencies of Google play Services. I rarely need it so it's easier for me to keep it disabled.

I use Package Disabler on my N10+'s but not sure it works on your model... that's an important tool I use to tone down my Samsung's. ADB edits can also be used but can't be toggled on/off on the fly. Dependencies... be careful and know what you are disabling.

* if the Google play Services disable is greyed out, go to Security settings>Device Administrators and disable Find my Device. Another dependency, it will stay disabled until rebooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheAd0:
There's something horribly wrong when you need to be an expert and tweak the crap out of the phone to make it function like it should, and even then it would underperform... Disabling stock services etc? come on man
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Agree for a phone over 1,200 dollars should run with fast performance right out of the box , of course right after all your apps and data backup is back on.

Luckily I'm with Snapdragon AT&T S22 Ultra 5G and right out of the box this thing is a super beast, Sorry to hear Exynos performance is really bad hope for those on Exynos get some type of fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheAd0:
I am thinking of buying a SD from Wondamobile but if the unit is a lemon, I am going to go through hell probably.

Really want to like the new S22 Ultra but it seems like a safer bet with the S21U or another brand.

Was TSMC gonna take over chip production? I read the Samsung yield was crap. So silicon lottery is a lot more dicey on this generation of chips.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Welcome to the planet, Joe.

Apples work well, if you don't mind the limitations. Samsung's are a snap to set up once you learn how... 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Totally agree. But i believe its the app developers.

Something just isn't right. Some apps work flawlessly and consume minimum battery and others just get out of control every time they add new features.

If you go into google play store and check for updates. You are guaranteed to find apps that are updated almost everyday.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
As an experienced android developer (5 years) I can tell that it's not totally true.

There's not so much we can do to optimise apps performance, there are some guidelines to follow suggested by Google directly but I can tell that unless you're working on a very big project (eg. Twitter or Facebook apps) it will not make much difference in real world to the end user, expecially on High End devices with a very powerful processor. I mean, raw power of Exynos 2200 or Snap 8 Gen 1 is enough to make every app to run smooth even if its coded like crap.

Most of the optimisation is done by the compiler and the OS itself (I mean the vanilla android os, regardless of the manufacturer customisation).

What really makes the difference is how the manufacturer decides to manage system resources: heavily throttling can make even the lightest app to run very bad, not to talk about memory management etc. I think Samsung has a lot of work to do with its OneUI in this scenario.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Oh Ok. Thanks for this info.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
If it is OneUI, why does the s21u and Zfold3 for eg run much smoother without much lag or stutter? I don't think it's the apps that are causing the problem but is it really OneUI 4.1 if it runs well on older devices? Why is the Exynos (for me anyway) running like sh** sometimes with frame drops and stutter everywhere? I do suspect it's heating quickly and throttling and I wonder if they're limiting the touch boosting etc to try and lower the temps overall.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheAd0:
It's Samsung's Android kernel that's adapted to their SoC or the SoC itself.

If it's bad integration with kernel it's fixable. If it is in the silicon itself, it could be unfixable and be wonky forever.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Yeah, that's my worry. The 2200 just isn't that good so they're trying to keep the temp down by limiting it causing stutters etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheAd0:
It's astonishing that they can't do better when they literally have their own fab and chip design in their own product...

Was Samsung fired from making more SD chips now? Will TSMC make the new chips from summer? I read something like that. I really like the design, the camera and all but I just refuse to get the Exynos version. Enough is enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
You're partially right: Even if the same version of OneUI is looking the same across all supported devices, every device is a totally different system (different hardware in every sense) so the software is also very different.

I guess older devices are simply better optimised, expecially the GPU. That is the main issue in my opinion. When we make apps, we don't write a single line of code about GPU, it's all done by the compiler (gradle). There are some custom APIs that can be used to improve game's performances for a specific GPU but it's literally all given by the manufacturer. We just need to include their custom SDK and write the required lines of code, that's it.

The main work has to be done by Samsung, they have to work hard to improve xClipse GPU drivers or you Exynos users will experience stutters and lags forever.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Yup, exactly
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Everything about the phone is great from the Spen to the display to the design *but* the performance to me isn't great. The stutters drive me mad at times, way worse than any other flagship I've used in the past year.

And that's if Samsung can be bothered. If they deem the performance to be "acceptable" then they'll move onto the s23 and leave the S22u alone. I've had numerous phones in the past that has happened to.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheAd0:
And you got Exynos?

Yes - What the lesson here is to buy last years flagship and see if it's sufficient haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Yes I have the Exynos. In the past year I've had the s21u, P6P and Zfold 3. Best performing was the Zfold3 then s21u then P6P(which to me performs similar to the S22u). Sometimes the S22u performs great but then everything goes to sh** and you get frame drops and lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
For example, I'm not getting any problems with my Snapdragon version (US U1) some micro lags occurs but very rarely and they're nothing dramatic, overall the phone is always smooth and fast
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Comical that I cannot have Samsung Browser open, as well as YouTube and WhatsApp without Samsung Browser refreshing the page, 3 apps open and the RAM gets anxiety, absolutely ridiculous, people with talk about updates, optimisation, Android 12 etc. fact of the matter is, I didn't buy a £1,200 phone to be a beta tester, very disappointed with Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Is it just me or can you only keep one app open in the background at a time, the opinion is greyed out when I've one open
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Same here

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon “8+ Gen 1” salvage operation moves the chip to TSMC

After missing performance estimates, Qualcomm is dumping Samsung mid-cycle.

arstechnica.com

Samsung messed up on both Exynos and SD8Gen1. I am waiting for TSMC produced chips for sure.

If you are unhappy with this generation, now is the time to sell / return and wait for the new ones carrying this chip
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
OneUI 4/4.1 doesn't integrate well with Android 12, never has and likely never will, both platforms are flawed. If the GPU isn't optimized this only compounds the problems. Some apps function well and some don't, get used to it. OneUI 3.1 is Samsung's best overall skin, everything before and after it has been plagued with conflicts.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
This video at the end shows the N10+ eating a S22U alive. wtf? Even when the N10+ was slower before the rams got loaded it was in milliseconds. The N9 is noticeably slower than both these phones, sometimes by seconds when opening apps.

Samsung just keeps dropping the ball. Nothing since the N10+ has it's eloquent form factor, and overall usability/functionality. Samsung gave me no option other than to buy a second N10+.

After 3 more flagship releases Samsung just keeps choking.

Spen on right side, instead of lame excuses.

Expandable memory mandatory.

Keep the thickness and weight down.

No cam humps ever again.

What's your name? NOTE!

*Be nice to see the firmware loaded on each.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Don't believe everything you see in youtube most of it is fake like that video.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Also i have a AT&T Note10 Plus Snapdragon and my AT&T S22 Ultra 5G Snapdragon 512GB kicks its ass , it out performance it, Now if is a S22 Ultra 5G Exynos against a Note10 Plus Snapdragon yes i will believe it will out perform the Exynos S22 Ultra 5G
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] andreasarxon:
I run some browser benchmarks my s22 ultra exynos vs my tab s7 plus sd865+ and the tab destroy the s22 ultra by far.. It is snappier over all in all apps and in the ui.. (the tab) even my note 10 plus exynos is faster in many occasions, probably better optimized.. S22 ultra is a flagship hardware with lowend optimized software..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The S22U's ram management is apparently a mess when it gets loaded up. Samsung should have addressed this before it was released. A N10+ shouldn't be able to rip it to shreds with both having equally loaded rams... bad Sammy.

Main stream fake reviews haven't touched this issue, but users have witnessed it. Remember all those glowing Fold reviews? They are falling apart at the seams now. See a pattern?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
I hear that , Exynos is just garbage, now Snapdragon is where is at.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Yes, i can confirm too. I have fold 2 withh snap 865+ and S22U with exynos. Unfortunetly or not Fold 2 running just snappier for example double touch for wake screen or off and end on the overall smooth with fold 2.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
That just tells me that Snapdragon > Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Unfortunetly, especially for Europe once year yes
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] robi101012981:
Yeah, but Sammy fans can't recognise that Exynos it's sht, and this is a bad thing..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Big update
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] robi101012981:
Only for snap, Exynos it's forgot as usual..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
No I'm exynos EUX
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The S22U in this vid is the SM-S908UZKAXAA with 8gb of ram with the Snapdragon processor.

Avoid it. 8gb vs the N10+'s 12gb of ram may be why the N10+ chewed it to shreds, it didn't help that's for sure.

Even so with a low ram load it was only marginally faster loading apps. Avoid this variant!

Why would Samsung release a flagship with less than 12gb of ram and 128gb of internal storage with no expandable storage?

Even finding the full specs was difficult, like dealing with a shifty used car salesman. Samsung does this crap intentionally, they've been doing it for at least 8 years. Even carriers sometimes release the wrong specs because of Samsung's spec ambiguity.

You have watch Samsung like a hawk. One of the reasons I blew off the N20U in favor of a new N10+ was issues with specs and vendors playing the Samsung shuffle with them... as usual.

Caveat emptor, applies to used car salesmen and Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] robi101012981:
So weird, I checked 1h before your post and the update wasn't available. Made it now and i noticed one weird thing: the battery went from 95% before the update to 99% and I was like , how is that even possible?

Anyway, let's see how it'll go, so far seems little to no improvements were made..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] robi101012981:
I had the same issue as him, went to the store ,,factory reset will solve your problem", so I was refused :) Never ever I'll purchase a Samsung again, they're terrible, the only good things are the camera and 3 years of Android OS Updates, otherwise, they have trash devices with poor quality control.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
Factory resets are legit ways that could improve performance. You don't say if you ahd the EXY or SD model.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
Maybe you shoudl change from "blackhawk" to "sammyhawk" 😏
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] robi101012981:
Exynos, Snap have little to no issues
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheAd0:
Yes a factory reset could be beneficial if you have had your phone for 2+ years, but just telling the customer to factory reset 2 minutes after they got the phone is just lazy
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Exactly. That's being lazy and wasting your time.

If a support rep does that to me I shred them with pleasure...

Factory reset is the last resort, not first choice for most issues. Exceptions; a firmware upgrade, boot looping, corrupted user partition, malware that can't remove or if all other attempts failed. If you don't find the root cause it is likely to reoccur!

This heavily used N10+'s current load is 2 yo, still fast and stable. A stock Android OS load can be exceptionally long lived with minimal maintenance. I had issues where some would have choked and reset. I tracked them down and learned instead. Been using SD Maid and Device Care with 360°(internet blocked) for basic maintenance. That and correcting issues that occasionally arise (almost always from an new app or app update). I never update the firmware.

Is it new one ui or android 13 beta build?what do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] robi101012981:
Still oneui 4.1 so nothing new.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Yes, absolutely android 13. The build name passed from "A" (Think AVE4) to "B", that B indicates ewer a deoid version, from 12, so must be 13
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Nope, Samsung has pulled some bone headed moves but I can't believe they'd be stupid enough to offer any beta versions in an OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
There was a rumour regarding samsung to open android 13 beta as early as June or July,this could be it but still I'm not sure but it's definitely newer version of one ui incoming
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Nope , Beta always has a Z in the firmware beta build example 2ZE5 that's beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rockky:
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra continues to be an extraordinary device for me. My S21 was returned after 2 weeks. Stuck with my Note20.

The smooth UI, zero lag (with Standard MS btw), display, camera performance, 5G speed, aesthetics in general and more are the best I've ever had on a smartphone. Only battery life is wanting
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bat0nas:
It's laggy and slow when connected to Google Auto and eg Waze is running on car's screen.

Otherwise - no lag.

Anybody else experiencing lag using Android Auto?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] robi101012981:
Yes, I think its a general issue, the same it's happening on my dad's Note 10 lite..

Please help with my new s22 ultra (snapdragon 8 gen 1) I have huge frame drops in games (emulators) and also very low benchmark results. I tried everything like disabling game service, factory reset and setting maximum performance in battery settings ... but without any difference 😕
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] LuthorKid:
Tbt, there's nothing viably possible you can do to alleviate that phone from its current performance butchery by yours truly, (samsung). You can only endure at this point, knowing at the back of your mind we got played big time by Samsung, by a way of 'wooing' the Note line fans that longed and anticipated the comeback of the Note to spend thousands of dollars buying a 'throttling' brick in an accessory isolated box.

You could get another phone OR possibly, wait for next year's iteration of S22 Ultra which I hope houses the Snapdragon produced and configured by TSMC.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Good point, Samsung initiated the model in a deceptive fashion. It's nowhere near comparable to an "S Series" device. It's flatout a Note 22 Ultra. They only used that naming convention to suck in "S Series" owners. Samsung is losing on multiple fronts, credibility, chipsets and software. Other than that it's a fantastic device!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
It's a bugfix Update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] robi101012981:
Yeah, but it doesn't contain stability let's say , it's only an update and nothing more...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
What do you think bug fixes are? Bug fixes improve stability - companies don't want to call them "bug fixes" as that doesn't sound as cool as "stability enhancements".

I'm starting to have lag issues especially with camera on photo, I get lots of choppy jittery focus and lag throughout device also pictures are trash as of late. I've had no problem until June update......I reset and started clean, I odin flashed June software, I hope July update comes quickly I don't want to deal with warranty a device.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Hmmmm, the phone seems a lot smoother and cooler after the July update(Exynos). Anyone else noticing this? Seems a big improvement to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
can confirm, after JULY (AVF5/AVF9) update it seems that some polishing on UI was made.

need to check the data connectivity/call issues and see if any improvements was made.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
General scrolling for eg on Twitter seems much better too.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
I'm not finding twitter scrolling any better with AVF9 , it's hell laggy as before.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
I've been very disappointed with the S22u and Twitter scrolling etc but it seems massively improved in my phone. It's pretty much as smooth as my Zfold3 now and before it wasn't at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pvcdroid:
Solution: Get off Twitter. It sucks the life right out of you with a bunch of malcontents.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
I have request to write which version S22U are you have.

Especially telling about advantages or disadvantages after update.

I have Exynos and I can confirm that last 2 updates (June and july) device finally working stable, not perfect but good.

Now fast and correct connect with my BT devices and inform me with sound about new notifications and calls.

Next double tap mode for on/off screen seems working faster and more prcision than previous.

Overall speed in daily use now is stable.

Right now i don't (very) miss for my fold 2 ;)

After this few days i conclusuin that S22U work at last running good :).

I wait for more similar improvments.

Addition i use "high processing" mode.

Quick update I have Snapdragon S22 Ultra on AT&T and received update (AFV7) this morning and took some pics and some improvement will let it settle couple of days.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] !J2B!:
Hey guys ! I have the exact same problem on my S22+ (Exynos version, 8/256) : ultra laggy and can get very warm after a "normal" usage (I mean 30 minutes of browsing internet, social networks, without playing any game).

I came from a S20 FE 5G Snapdragon version and it was less laggy. I'm thinking of switching back to a Pixel because having a high range phone that can even launch Twitter or Edge properly is very annoying.

I received the July patch but nothing has changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Clear system cache.

Turn off global power management, adaptive battery, etc if active.

No settling in needed... it should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Since the July update Samsung Internet runs like garbage, takes 5 minutes to load webpages, tried on numerous connections, this will be the last Exynos device I ever own.
