There is also video and photo quality problems in my phone. Photos has a lot of noise especially in shadows. One the the reviewer and influencer has the same problems in his unit. Here is it

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
I have ATT so how do I manually update for ATT or is this just for the unlocked snapdragon version?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
Video on Facebook is laggy too, switching 24 to 30 fps, that's why... Nothing has been optimized.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jhericurls:
Need to ditch my Samsung and get a Huawei
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cmfCyangenModteam:
Huawei? hmmmm.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Always the best optimized phone Huawei flagship, no lag, no heat and the best battery time to.

I have a Mate 20X to and its still a beast and the best is, no problems at all ✌🏻
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
Anyway, not usable without GMS...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gass88tp:
but no one noticed the lag in the scrolling of the browser pages jerky and also in some apps such as facebook and instagram (in the system menus it is fine), I made the last update and reset to factory settings but not yes it is solved ... it is really annoying ... you have to make a mass report to samsung, it is unacceptable
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] GamingOnGadget:
Has anyone tried if it possible to check the ASV bin of the Exynos 2200 chip on S22 Ultra? It was possible on S21 Ultra.

- https://xdaforums.com/t/exynos-chip-bin-performance-survey.4234969/

- https://www.anandtech.com/show/16463/snapdragon-888-vs-exynos-2100-galaxy-s21-ultra/4

"This Exynos S21 Ultra unit was quite unlucky in terms of its chip bin as the CPUs received ASV bins of 2, 2, 2 across the little, middle, and big cores. I’ve got another regular Galaxy S21 with another Exynos chip, which had slightly better bins of 4, 4, 3. While this device performed better and was slightly more efficient than the S21 Ultra, it was still significantly worse than the Snapdragon 888 Galaxy S21 Ultra, which had no issues to sustain near its 2841MHz peak frequency for the vast majority of workloads."
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Sent my Exynos unit back, what a joke. Laggy and stuttering. Will keep my Fold3, so much more smooth and faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
On Facebook, some videos switch constantly 24 to 30fps, so it's very laggy... Nothing is optimized, it's a shame after a month already. Maybe it will be next year. So skip this generation ?

Twitter is the worse app on this device. Samsung Wake Up !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dominikm27:
I had Fold3 also. Much more smooth. I can't belive that is hardware problem. I hope that Samsung fix it by new software.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Yeah. The new SOC/ GPU on the 2100 clearly needs updates but I'm not dropping £1300 on being a beta tester and waiting on an update that might never come. F3 will do me until the F4 with the SD gen 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Precisely, its a completely disaster 😳
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Interesting:) I did manage dumb the log and found it under log/recovery/last_kmsg but there is no cpu info on that log file.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
I just checked on mine and cant find anything on it either.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
So are we on the exynos really better to leave the display on FHD instead of you WQHD ???
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Unless you

must have

all Carrier Features buying a S22 Ultra Exynos variant is a huge gamble. I will gladly sacrifice 5G and Carrier Aggregation for a lot less performance headaches. Buyers shouldn't have to face that kind of decision but that's how Samsung rolls.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
GOS update 3.5.03.3 appeared today in Galaxy store...

No changelog found...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] GamingOnGadget:
Thanks for checking! Speed bin info might be located in a different log on Android 12. It might be found from the dmesg but it would require root.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] briceio:
Got mine since 2h... will go back to Samsung tomorrow. What a PoS.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Why though, are you having issues with it? I have 2 and they both work flawlessly
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] briceio:
Got the Exynos version as I live in Europe. Just at start I felt something is wrong... applications take forever to install or uninstall, and when the phone is doing something it's getting unresponsive, the UI is frozen for several seconds, and I can actually see the battery life decreasing o_O Never had this kind of issue with my previous S21 Ultra. Bought the 1TB version and at 1,650 € it's a little painful to get this kind of experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
After 2h ? How can you judge after 2h?

After 2h i dont have installed and setup half of my stuff...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Same. Especially updating apps after first start. Actually it still has this problem even downloading took more than my previous fold 3. I thought it can be because of how android first start works. Two different app store two different apps update processes. I am really test my device various ways to ensure that is the problem of Exynos 2200. Just for fun :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
It's very obvious, sadly. Even installing things etc, the s22u lags. Like I said before, my Zf3 with the Sd888 runs like a dream beside the Exy S22U. Samsung have messed up with this. They avoided using the Exy 2200 in most territories even in their homeland this year. Now we know why.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] matty100147:
the lag in the video feedback is the thing that annoys me the most, was watching the daily weather on twitter tonight and the sound was 3 or 4 seconds ahead of the picture cos of the odd lag, had to watch it on my friends mid range 4 year old huawei instead, if i could only turn the clock back 4 weeks i wouldn't had bought the s22 ultra, extremely disappointed with it, definitely the last Samsung product ill be buying
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
You can return the phone back within 30 days if you are in UK ..I think thats what I'm gonna do as well..I still have about 1 week to sent it just waiting till the last minute for a miracle software update to fix tons of bugs...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
I have 2 S22 Ultras, as well as an Asus ROG Phone 2, and a P40 Pro here. When I compare them, the S22s are faster and smoother, whether it's a 1440p, or 1080p, stock launcher or with Nova. I must have gotten extremely lucky, or some people are just unlucky.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
Exynos??
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Yeah both Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Shafe70:
أناroot method?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Would Princess Davinci help with phone issues as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheQuarterMile:
The phone is throttling like crazy! While playing Pokémon Unite the phone just drops frames. Tried with both 1080p and WQHD. Thisp never happened on my OnePlus6T! Anyone facing similar issues?

Any fixes available?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
After a full recharge my systems UI crashes every time. System ui not responding error messages occur after hang on lock screen for a couple seconds. Anyone has the same problem???
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Definitely not, try clearing the Cache Partition by booting into Recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Takumashii:
I also had the problem a few days ago. It disappeared after a few crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
I did it already :) It looks like there are others like me https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s22-series/unlocking-s22-ultra-system-ui/td-p/4980487
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
That's unfortunate. Did that fix it? I would suggest Factory Reset like people mentioned there but always go for the shorter and easier solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Finger crossed 🤞 I hope mine will disappear too.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
Yeah exynos is performing very bad. I'm experiencing a lot of stutters like a lot of people here, just through navigation on the phone : opening notifications, going back to homepage... also some apps are sometimes taking forever to open, settings displays a blank page for 1s before opening, sometimes keyboard takes 4-5 before showing up...

And I think the problem (on my device at least) comes from wqhd. The phone is always perfectly smooth (like expected for a phone like this) on fhd+. Sometimes it will perform great for a few minutes or at certain times of the day on wqhd, but most of the time it's not great. Resolution seems to be the only parameter that triggers these stutters almost certainly.

Another weird thing is that the phone performs very well for a few minutes (wqhd) after reboot. I don't know what is going on with these devices...

Also I have maximum performance in the battery settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lawtq:
Is safe to say they didn't deliver on their hype. They should have Tsmc make all their chips. Cause they can't do a good job
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
It's like a phone from 5 or 6 years ago where the GPU couldn't handle QHD.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
I believe the reason works well after a reboot is to heat related. I made a test with Geekbench before the phone is cold and in airplane mode got a normal score. After a swipe to home to couple apps (especially camera app) it is getting hot and geekbench score goes 600 for single cpu. There is a screen shot from me at page 26 in this topic.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kaadaj:
Yes that's mostly related to heat I think but just restarting the phone and start using it right after should not let it cool. In all cases, it's a beautiful mess...

Indeed, this is really a shame... I can't believe it won't get fixed, so I think I'll wait for an update rather than sending back the phone. That's too bad, I love everything else about this device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rauttis:
I have a Exynos S22+ and I'm experiencing pretty much all of the same problems reported here even though the phone is only FHD.

Really considering returning the phone. Maybe the issues can be fixed with firmware, but I don't think it's really worth taking that chance. The last time I've had this terrible and laggy experience with an Android phone was the Oneplus 2 that used Snapdragon 810, which was a pretty infamous SoC for how terrible it was. Oneplus promised to improve it with updates, and it never actually improved.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Yes. Do not rely on promises other than facts that exynos 2200 has problems for sure. I keep the device just for fun and to see how will be the process. I still belive it is a driver issue because hardware wise it can not worse than five year old phone. 😅 long term reviews from social media also can't reliable because these reviews don't use their review units like a normal user. Tons of photos taken, mails and multiple other social media app background usage are what normal users has.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FlugzeugSK:
well i am still checkin this tread, but i can after all say, that two weeks after purchase of my S22Ultra (12/512 exynos version) i am happy and i have no major issues or performance lags as well.

battery life is OK for me, by my usage it learnt some patterns and after average work day i have 40-50% left which is OK for me

performance i don´t play games, so for general use, i have no lags, no performance drops or any similar issues. phone is under any condition cold, no heating spotted. anyway, i have tryied to use RAM Plus, and with maximum size 8GB phone become laggy, i dropped it to minimum size of 2GB instead of default 4 and phone is smooth and runs well.

display is great, clear, and definitely the brightest thing on direct sunlight i ever use. (using WQHD+, variable refresh rate, adaptive color settings)

Camera is the best thing i used, by my preferences, it makes perfect photos. maybe not the best on market, but with the rest of the phone is great !

Not sure if this helps to anybody, i just wanted to say, that S22Ultra with exynos is not as bad as some people here write, maybe i was lucky enough to get good unit, and they have bad luck to have defective unit, but c´mon, it IS a great phone. if you considering to purchyse it, definitely search for a offer with return period and give it a personal try, based on the comments here i would definitely not buy it, but based on my experience, i would nothing else than recommend it as a great allrounder...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dominikm27:
It works! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
I am glad that your experience is good with the device but it is not limited about in this topic there are other people like influencers, tech writers mentions these problems too. Also you are right, this topic is about the lag problem on s22 ultra as the header describes and you can not found much positive feedback here.

In my perspective as a tech enthusiastic and a nerd digging deep in a technological device defines what I can understand from it. Another person maybe happy with micro shutters or a cpu spikes here and there. But I believe nerds can't accept it lightheartedly and it is also normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
It's great to read some users are pleased with their devices performance but we also see a significant number of users disappointed. Besides possibly the Note 7 I don't recall any Samsung devices with anywhere near the issues as the S22 Ultra. There are two, possibly three defects behind most of the complaints.

First being the Exynos SoC which had serious production issues as only 30% of the chipsets on the average wafer were usable. So you could have a defect free SoC or a defective one that passed QC. If you have a clean chipset it makes sense your device performs well when others don't.

Secondly, is Android 12, OneUI 4.0 and 4.1 which has proved to be Google and Samsung's more problematic software combinations. Depending on the various apps you add and settings you adjust can trigger compatibility headwinds. The huge amount of functionality and flexibility Samsung OneUI has enabled in the software is a challenge for Android 12 to manage. They still don't have a stable platform after numerous releases and updates.

Thirdly, Samsung is struggling with heat dissipation and battery life due to poor design inherent in the 2200 SoC. During development Samsung realized the chipset couldn't operate at it's designated 1.9 GHz but instead of re-engineering it they dummed it down via throttling. Some users won't observe any overheating but power users do and to date there is no fix or workaround.

The only option for these shortcomings is each individual user adjusting their settings based on their particular priorities and how they've setup their device. To this end some users have no issues, some will successfully modify and achieve acceptable performance and some will never find a solution. Yeah, it sucks big time!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
The Exynos 990 was pretty awful too. Also, in regards to OneUI 4, as I said before, my Zf3 on OneUI 4 runs like a dream with no bugs and it's very fast and smooth so it can't be OneUI 4 (Android 12) it has to be something to do with the 2200, my hunch is the new GPU likely to be problems with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Be_Cruel.:
I read random messages on this thread and mostly all of them are negative opinions, i had the same exact problem with s22 ultra (8/128) exy (preordered 11.02) so what i did was digging into research about debloating and optimizing oneui and i did couple of tricks using adb with pc and changing some things in settings and after couple of days of using it, performance's drastically change, no UI lags, it's very responsive now and battery life is pretty ok, no heating whatsoever and finally it's really enjoying phone with really smooth UI. I recommend doing those tricks as they seem to help - and after the last (AVC) update you can disable GOS using game booster

Cheers 🤟
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darbar1701:
So do I turn this off or on?? It was off by default

Here we go again ...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
It's a new phone that hasn't officially been released yet. It's running android 12 which has had numerous issues that are still being addressed. There are bound to be issues and people are looking for help and being accused of being trolls.

I joined this forum to hopefully learn some things. Wasn't expecting romper room.

Who are the real trolls here?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] acbdo6:
Sometimes it's a bit laggy. I hope it will be fixed with the next update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] omnimax:
I've had my s22 ultra /DBT since this morning and I've had no lags, no app crashes no nothing. Good times :)

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ‬1‬:
There is no TWRP for Android 12 yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] acbdo6:
Nevertheless the phone is a bit warm when I use it a bit more than usual (no games played) and battery life drains quickly. Did it happen to you too?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] elmor0:
I hope you guys are not receiving early batch dodgy/ prototype-type units, since you've received them before official launch date.

Also with recent Samsung track record, Exynos variant has been inferior to its Snapdragon counterpart.

Please report if you have the Exynos or SD variant, or the model number when reporting lag/ battery life/ heating issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Faplord:
I got me from official store in Norway, but I work there so I got from the first batch, 128gb exynos 2200, ive had 7h on screen now with yeah 230% total chage now and its on 1080p with middle screen brightness and also its laggy just doing simple stuff, juat browsing UI, closing my mail and other apps. On snapchat its overheating and lagging crazy, especially when battery is low like now (11% already) its crazy slow..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Trashware apps... trash in, trash out.

Clear system cache.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Agree, these deficiencies are accurate as more users are reporting issues. I've been warning potential buyers for weeks. The new Exynos/AMD SoC has numerous production issues which are bound to carry over to users. Android 12 has been a mess ever since inception. Battery drain is unreal, overheating and multiple benchmarks reflect the SoC is less efficient than the Snapdragon 888. It's a bummer and buyers shouldn't have to deal with these problems. If you pre-ordered the device you weren't paying attention, these problems have widely noted for quite some time. Cross your fingers that an update solves your problems. I don't see that happening, this device and it's components have been rushed to market without a thorough, deep dive by Samsung and Android (Google). Shocking right?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Nice to hear, then we must hope for some quick updates.

Now im glad mine will be shipped 24th February first (Denmark).

Then i will continue with my Mi 11 Ultra so long... And pray every minutes 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Samsung usally release some updates in the release period, i remember this from all my S and Note series phones... But so did Xiaomi with my M11U... Guess most companies do this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
TOtally. when I got my note 20 ultra and S21 Ultra they were shi**** at first and there were a couple updates almost immediately. We just have to be patient, since it seems only EU folks have gotten their devices it could be a market issue
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RedsonRising:
I agree with the earlier post, is anyone that has the 12gb models reporting these issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you want a quick answer go look at the memory usage. If your using around 5gb of ram you're normally have plenty to spare...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BigDisplay:
Im in Europe to, Denmark... And mine will be shipped the 24th of February, very strange with this mix of dates.

I hade the S21U to and totally have the same experience as you telling about and then it slowly got better after some updates.

Anyway i sold it after 7 weeks and told my self not to buy Samsung anymore - dont like the way they behave - (like Apple, in many ways) . I bought the MI 11 Ultra same day as the S21U and this i keep and still use, love this phone....

But 😂, here i am again, couldn't resist it, when i look it came with my beloved pen/stylus. I use my pen 95% of the time on both my Tab S7 and Mste 20x and love it.

Im sure in a couple of months, S22U wil have its software updates and be more stable.

BUT what i don't like is, most manufacturers release phones which is far from being stable at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RedsonRising:
I don't have the phone yet, was just curious since all of the ppl having problems that gave info had the 8/128 models.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Even with scoped storage and forced encryption I can't see it's typical ram usage being over 6gb. If it was that simple Samsung would've spotted it.

Forget what the reviewers are saying... they could bring a dead puppy back to life.

Only time will tell.

So far though it's thicker and heavier than the N10+ with no expandable storage. The spen is housed at the worst possible location. That's plainly noticeable... wtf was Samsung thinking?

It appears they were not...

Here's a brainstorm Sammy, make ONE model that's big, bad arse and has lots of everything instead of a bunch of substandard variants. It would lower the price and the amount of problems including that of availability. Maybe be really bold and call this milestone model The Note*.

*It's ok if you did it before as long as you do it better each following generation.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
I disagree with regard to Android 12 OneUI 4/4.1. Updates have cleared up some issues but numerous users indicate problems before and even after updating. These can't all be hardware issues. I think it depends which apps are installed, how one's device is setup and which firmware you're using.

Agree the CPU may be at the root of some glitches and the slower clock can affect performance in other areas besides overheating. Samsung is tweaking all the cores in an attempt to find the right balance. You haven't dealt with conflicts on your ZF3 but don't discount these variables. Android 12 has wreaked havoc on a wide range of devices, not just Samsung's offerings. It needs more development, we'll see how it works out.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] homeedition88:
Thank you for the link. In my case "fix one ui lag" topic helps a lot even the twitter scrolling not lagging anymore.

Ram plus = 2GB also helps.
