waited so long just compromised and went with 256gb. so learnt lesson if you need top model you need to go with samsung online rather offline. I got it for 1lac with watch
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Super_Commando:
That's a huge difference. Did he provide any reason?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
laptop/pc and install smartswitch on it. Backup and then plug in the new phone and restore. 😡
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
Maybe next time, I will order online too. Smartcafe guys and their offline network seem happy catering to "not top line specced" customer base! First time in a long time, not happy with Samsung offline shopping!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
ya buddy I really fed up with asking in offline all say today tmr same drama and funny thing is after I compromised to 256gb that also no stock they said initially lol after so much request they arranged one after 1hr waiting lols.anyways for complementary got 2 screen protector :))
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yeah they always get lots of stock for the variants/colorways that are either booked the most or are expected to sell the most.

This has always been my experience offline right from the S6 days when external storage was omitted. Had to travel half way across mumbai to get a 64GB model on launch day.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
They will also try to scare you into accepting a lower variant just to get rid of you and that one unit which is magically sitting in the drawer while they claim "No stocks anywhere in India" 😂😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] --xplora--:
you can do WiFi transfer with Smart Switch, I did that as one device was having low battery so that was charging, got done in 45 mins. do whatsapp seperately.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
There was amoled ghosting in the notification drawer area which he classifies as "major damage to screen" in the Cashify Diagnose app. This was the main reason for such a low valuation
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Those goofball offline stores don't even have screen protector. I'm highly pissed with Samsung in general for not keeping enough screen protectors in stock for their flagship phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
You should treat all of us with a pizza since the Cashify Diagnose app even worked for you 😉
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I've run naked ever since Galaxy S. Don't worry so much for a screen protector bro. Never had any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Why didn't you open the box though?! Nvm got the answer.

By the way, seems like the white one is the one which is not in stock.. ans is the rarest!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Sure sure. We'll have an "epic unboxing" of pizzas 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Thanks bro, it's just that this is my first flagship phone so I'm overthinking about a lot of things. Maybe if they continue to keep the protector out of stock I'll end up running the screen naked like yours 😄😄

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
tried uninstalling and re-installing, seems like the way we set up account in app invokes the fingerprint authentication. I choose login with password initially and it never showed fingerprint authentication option, but when I choose login with PIN as set up option, it allowed for fingerprint authentication.

So all in all problem solved. Thanks guys, appreciate your input.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Same difference
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
How did you get fingerprint Auth enabled in hdfc app? I tried finding but don't see it anywhere in there.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Login in the HDFC app

Click on menu-> Your Profile->Security Center->Manage Easy login Method (option 2)

there delete your old pin and set a new one, when you do that it will show the option to set up Touch Id option.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:

Thanks bro. I deleted my old pin but didn't realise this. Will do tomm 🙏
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Got the Rinke Smoked Black clear case. Looks awesome, except for that Ugly Barcode that Samsung sticks behind the phone. Earlier with my S8+ and S9+, they provided separate Barcode sticker, which you can use when sending it to service center.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
That sticker is not even sticky. Comes off with just a little puff. Without any residue left behind.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arsenalfan001:
Has anyone purchased an extended warranty from Samsung?

Is it worth it?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Thanks bro for making me feel stupid 🤦‍♂️. I didn't even try peeling that thing, assuming the adhesive would leave marks.

I was planning to return the Clear case for a solid matte black one because of the Barcode sticker.

Now that the sticker doesn't exist anymore :D, I guess the case stays on.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
I took the 1 year ADLD insurance option, not sure if this is what you wanted to know. You cannot judge if an extended warranty or insurance is worth it. If you end up redeeming it then it's 100% worthy. If you never need it then it's 0% worthy. Since it's my first glass phone and I have clumsy hands I went for it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yeah this year the sticker also has AI built in. Comes off easily as soon as you bring a clear case near it 😜
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
Better take 9999 plan which has ADLD and 2 years warranty
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arsenalfan001:
I'm trying to understand how easy it is to deal with Servify. They have an exclusion in their t&c that states that they won't cover any damage

"due to Intentional act or willful neglect".

Any accidental damage can be termed as an intentional act so, it's very easy to reject a claim.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
I will like to know more if anyone has an experience getting the device fixed under this plan. I can't trust Samsung based on TnC
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arsenalfan001:
Agree, I would also like to know about user experiences before I pay for another phone almost (10K for 2 years warranty and ADLD )
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
You can use without a screen guard at the cost of getting the oleophobic coating removed over time on the spot where you frequently use the thumb for scrolling. Whichever phone I used without SG, suffered from this issue - mostly experienced with the S flagships including the S21U.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
you can get the free service done as promised for 1 time previously I had adld for s7 tab they fixed broken screen I paid extra 1.8k overall satisfied .

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
Do you mean "Clear for 2months then yellow" back cover?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
When raising claim don't be candid

I will share my personal example

Once my S7E was broken as it fell off from my hands

I told this to store guy through whom I had bought phone and insurance

He said just write "I was walking and there was rush and someone pushed" and do confirm same thing when someone calls

I did the same and claim was approved

Same S7E screen was broken again as someone pushed my hand while I was holding

This time I forgot the advice and wrote "phone fell from my hands"

They rejected me claim stating accidental claims only covered

Hope you got the difference in both now

Don't be candid or write the truth or even try to complicate

Just write simple, I was walking, someone rushed and pushed

I bought Ringke fusion, looks nice as recommended by @cool.darshak

Bought from ringke india site at 10% discount vs Amazon, delivery was quick & from bluedart

Amazon link is this :

https://www.amazon.in/Ringke-Fusion-X-Compatible-Transparent-Shockproof/dp/B09PWLDKSC
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
I have used the Ringke Smoked blacked clear case for both my previous S9+ and S8+, hence I went for the same for S22Ultra. The fusion looked real good, but in images it looked bulky, so didn't order that. How is it real life, does it add bulk.

@zaydenQ They have updated Corporate site with clear mention to redeem GW4 watch post purchase at Samsung Shop App
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
I have claimed and no problem. Thoda service center se pehchan karke chalo. I have got full refund coupon of invoice amount from Samsung for my Note 10 plus after using 11 months and no issues in device. Also u can change battery, screen after 11 months in warranty period.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] codereverser:
Same story as yours :( . Ordered on 22nd Feb with expected delivery on 11th March. Customer care is not giving any clear answers. Thinking of cancelling it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
wow s22ultra is damm smooth compare to s21ultra.I can literally feel the snapines good job Samsung.but battery not that great need to wait for few more cycles.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
Better cancel and book corporate offer
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
Cancel and buy from Amazon (with Apay credit card) or from Samsung corporate/student portal or just buy from a store!

The refund of the existing order will take some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Samsung has increased Buds 2 price redemption to 2999 from 999 for S22/S22+ but yesterday Reliance Digital guy was saying 999!

Probably he doesn't know how quick or deceiving Samsung is!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Yeah but it the TnC nothing is mentioned for corporate site on how to redeem it. Although I think people would be able to redeem the way it used to be done till last year.

One of my other friends decided to buy the phone too.. but he can't use my card for it since it has already been redeemed. Now he's looking for a HDFC card. 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Hey all

Got my ultra 2 days back and loving this phone. Another corporate user here. Also redmeeded the watch offer post delivery yesterday.

I've read a bit about which charger to get here and on reddit/Google. Seems to me the new 45W model (EP4510) won't be launching in India anytime soon. Had a chat with Samsung, they were pushing for the older 45W model (EP-TA845).

What charging brick does everyone suggest for this? I don't think I can wait until the new one launches and would prefer a piece that can push 45W instead of 25W and would be compatible with most (if not all) of Samsung's fast charging features.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I have the 45w chargers that Samsung launched along with the S20U from two years ago. Work absolutely flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Then why did samsung launch new ones? Wasn't there a material difference in the new one's tech v/s the old one?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
There is no difference(barely any) in between Samsung's 25W and 45w adapters in providing fast charging.

The new 45W and the "old" 45W from Samsung have absolutely no difference in power delivery.

In future for say S23U - we don't know yet if there will be any change in power delivery and thereby don't know whether these currently available 45W adapters will be able to provide that standard or not. Likewise, choosing other adapters from other brands might be a "waste" too because we don't know what Samsung is going to integrate next year.

Get the official 25W adapter offline/online I would say. It's cheap too using corporate account in Samsung portal.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Okay so if I understand correctly: There is no material difference between the old 45W, New 45W and the 25W chargers?

If that's true then I may just get the older 45W one...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
screen protector delivered today
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
The new 45W adapter is smaller than the old 45W one. That's all.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
What was the offer redemption procedure? In the 'for you' section on the app? You had to login with the phone number you used to order?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cool.darshak:
Can someone suggest screen protector or tempered glass (not interested in official one). I heard about gadgetshield but there are few options in gadgetshield, not sure difference between them
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
I am using casefit clear for both front and back. It's pretty good. Just order with the installation kit and follow the youtube tutorial. It will be perfect after a day or two. Won't even feel like a screen guard has been applied.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
So I bought the phone using the corporate login which has my personal mobile number and corporate email ID.

Then I logged in using my personal mobile number and OTP, this personal account has the same mobile as the corporate ID too. Using this account I went to the "For You" section and entered the IMEI to claim the offer and pay.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Damn, then why launch a new one? Smaller = less packaging? 😂

Is that a tempered piece? Could you link it here?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Oh this sounds easy then. Thanks for answering the query.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
No it's a plastic one which basically gives the screen protection from scratches, not from breaking.

Here's the link: https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsung-galaxy-s22-ultra-screen-protector-screen-guard.html
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Ah ok. I'm not able to find a reliable tempered piece for this phone yet. Thinking about waiting a few weeks v/s the risk of falling...

Has anyone used ESR Tempered Glass Protector. They are offering a set if 3 for ₹1,599/- with free delivery. The set also contains installation kit. Seems to be nice but saw a review on You Tube which said that nkt much space is left between edges and protector and hence, not feasible to use with rugged cases like supcase, uag etc. I have git Uag Monarch. Can anyone with prior experience tell whether ESR will be successful with UAG cases. Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
ESR Liquid skin was not compatible with UAG/rugged cases with screen overlap for the S21U. But the screen protectors are great, you get 3 and they are easy to install!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Abhinav Jain:
Thanks for the info. I again checked. It is not tempered glass but liquid skin. I guess it is out if question. Aby suggestions regarding good tempered glass protector which will work with UAG Monarch.

Is there a way to make the phone's screen light up when I get a notification and the screen was off?

My older oneplus had this feature that when I got a notification, the phone's screen lit up like the black and white AOD format. This lasted around 5/10 seconds and then it went back to blank.

Can't find any option for this...

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
God knows what Samsung marketing guys ate this time...doing every bit to disappoint or irritate users.

I indeed asked him how will it be exclusive as there is no login but all of them are clueless.

Store guys are hopeful bank cashback offer will come just like hero enters movie in the end. They are hoping upto 8k cashback as they said usually it is in range of upgrade bonus atleast.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Hey bro any idea why the Watch says OTC but the buds say estore redemption? Are ultra folks going to get the watch over the counter along with the phone(OTC?) and regular S22 folks redeem the buds later via eShop like the past few years?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Looks like "add to cart" while buying online or "add to billing" during checkout offline at discounted price unlike redemption later

But they have stock issues for 44mm
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
After so many queries, Samsung team woke up

Updated Pre-reserve offer

Now if ordered till 18th Feb 1.15 pm then one will get Smart tag

If ordered from 18th Feb 1.15 pm till 21st Feb then eligible for 2000 smart club points

I wish they take our bank cashback queries too seriously

😆 🤣 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
I am tempted now...I even asked him to break the rule before their hosts do 😆
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
+1.

Battrtylife isn't looking great either going by the early tests.

With time passing by, I'm finding lesser reasons to "upgrade".
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
So spoke to a few offline Samsung retailers. Here's the best deal I've been offered till now:

256GB: 98k cash with 2000 smartcafe points

512GB: 106k cash with 2000 smartcafe points

He will also buyback the Watch 4 for 16k

What do you guys think should I opt for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
119k - 8k (upgrade bonus) = 111k

- 25W charger worth 2k - boAt buds is what one retailer was telling me

Upgrade bonus / exchange is at store level so they even don't seek mobile from customer basically it is as good as bank cashback

I still feel there maybe some bank offer to match it

16k for GW4 is good deal considering if it is 44mm then 23k is what Samsung is selling it for after bank cashback

You are getting it for 88k (512 gb)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sasha8200:
Is 256GB 98K cash inclusive of all offers, including 8K upgrade offer.. Watch is additional?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dr.Gonzo105:
How and where?

Over here they aren't ready to give any discount also. 98k after exchange?

And the retailer here said max 9k for the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kannanX10:
thinking on the same lines....if you find something related to snapdragon gen1 s22 ultra battery life do update
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Same here. In my area it’s easier to ask the store manager his daughter’s hand in marriage than get anything but a ridiculous lowball buy back price for the outgoing S flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Yes everything is included. All cash deal. And watch they will buyback. So basically 256GB will cost me 98+3-13 = 85k. Think I'll go for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
In Kolkata! I had sold my S21U for 64k. So getting the 256GB one for a nett price of 85k will cost me an additional 21k. Not a bad deal IMHO for me.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Try settings > notifications > scroll all the way down to Flash notification

I'm trying to find a way to make my whole lockscreen come up like it was on the 21U whenever a notification comes. Hate those teeny tiny bubbles that come and go so quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
That's the camera flash right? Not lighting up the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
There's two options there. Camera and screen

@twisted_mind @zaydenQ @ragavbpl what's the remedy if we don't get desired price, can we return phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] crazyguns:
I think having a 3m skin + case on top is best, the case protects from drops when you're out and about, and normal use at home or even with the case on the skin can cover the circles around the cameras from dust. I've used stickon.co.in and gadgetshieldz both have good 3m skins, also probably some decent ones on Amazon but I love using my phone without a case and a good Skin like Honeycomb or Leather pattern is a must have imo.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
No, it can only be exchanged during instant exchange. But Samsung are sly and they give better value in deferred exchange to attract people and then people fall prey when it comes to the actual pickup of the device.

Btw, one of my relatives ordered S22 Ultra 512GB Black from corporate site yesterday when delivery showed 15/3. But 13/3 is ending and he tells me the phone hasn't been shipped yet. Wonder why they are delaying it when Black 512GB seems to be readily available everywhere from Samsung shop to Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
Samsung Shop has no pattern on when they ship, some ppl reported here that their 22nd Feb pre orders have not shipped yet and for some April estimates have been shipped!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Samsung won't allow to return phone for sure. They clearly defined for deferred payment they'll check the condition and arrive at a price. So with this statement they are completely free to quote even 0 rs and still get away. Oh and see that "you are agreeing to terms and condition" line at the end, it doesn't even have tnc link for us to completely understand them.. That itself is clearly projects Samsung's intentions!

so given original cable wont charge at 45 watt speed so we need to get new cable also if we have other pd chargers (most of the case won't come with type c cable).but how can they wont include a cable that charge has a told 45watt.any ways difference is not that much but when I use my laptop type c cable it display supercharge 2.0 thats the actual said speed but won't display with original type c cable it shows just super fast charging for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yeah am using the cable that came with the 45w charger. It triggers the super fast charging 2.0 info.

It's laughable really that they actually snuck in a cable in the box that doesn't support 45w charging 🤣
