[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
It did exactly as it was supposed to do and that is how all cloud services work.

This is how cloud services work. When you take a picture, the original is uploaded to the cloud (in this case OneDrive); a COPY of that photo is then synced with all of your devices. When you de-linked Samsung Gallery from OneDrive, your phone maintained the copies. When you deleted them from your PC, it deleted them from OneDrive. So when you resynced your phone, OneDrive deleted the copies off of your phone.

That is how all cloud storage services work.

I am still confused as to why you deleted them from your PC in the firsts place.

To my knowledge, there is no way to root a phone without wiping it. Depending on the model, you may not be able to unlock the bootloader.

I am sorry you lost a lot of photos. I'm not sure there is a whole lot you can do to recover them save getting a professional to do it and that can get expensive. The other option is to run data recovery software on your PC. R-Tools is good, but it is pricey. I used it to recover photos after two of the four drives on my NAS failed. Even then, I lost several thousand images.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] GoGoWe:
Sad to hear that you aslo lost 1000 of imgaes.

To complete the story (if you are interested):

I moved my photos into a new folder in One Drive becuase I thought maybe my Samsung Device notice that as an album. It didn't. Then a while later these photos started to appear as duplicates on my phone. I wanted to have my gallery clean so is stopped the sync service removed them from the cloud (throughout my pc) and activated a while later the sync service again. Then I waited 1-2 days to check if my phone starts uploading the images i just deleted.

And yes, it did. So I was not worried that something would go wrong.

Beginning of Dezember I checked again and these photos were on my Samsung Device. I had no worries. 4 Days ago I wanted to backup them finally locally on my PC and NAS. Then I noticed they are not in the cloud and also not on my phone.

That's why I think this is not entirely my fault because I checked multiple times. What One Drive messed up:

- Dublicating Fotos only because I moved them into a diffrent Folder (at the beginning)

- Taking a lot of time to synchronise them with the cloud or rather synchronising them only after they got removed from the OneDrive recycle bin (because they where definitly on my phone after i removed them from One Drive).

But its too late, I got used to it.

Checked out R-Tools but I think it's the same problem as with all other recovery softwares. They need full access to my Phones Hard Drive, which they only get if I root it.

Nevertheless, thank you for your time and help and have a great new year
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] barrytsang:
Look in the files section of Onedrive. The missing photos might be in a different folder than the rest of the gallery photos, which isn't recognized by Gallery. I would go into a PC and manually move the missing photos to the correct folder. Mine is labeled SAMSUNG GALLERY. Good luck

Any advice is highly appreciated and thanking in advance -:) -:)
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
You have rooted the phone and you must have seen that even with root the system partitions remain in read only which means that you cannot restore the system with the Twrp which must have write permission.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NDbluewee:
Thanks @ Noss8

Yes, I do understand this part however, If I use PartitionBackups to back up all the files around 6.7 GB ..... the question is can I restore through PartitionBackup in future? Thank again for the piece of advice!
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
I don't know this app.

The system on devices with A/B partitions with A12 or A13 remain in Read only.

Try to restore only the data without the system/vendor/etc.

Did you remove security on the lock screen and reboot the system before your backup?

This has the effect of decrypting your data.

Micloud can also back up your data, apps (not all and without settings), mms, sms, photo, music, configuration settings, but the free version is limited to 5GB.

There is also backup on PC with Micloud, just a folder to cut / paste.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NDbluewee:
Thank again @ NOSS8

Yes, I did removing all my security passwords on the lock screen before doing all the backups.

The Twrp was good where I managed to backup everything except the system while the PartitionBackup did backup everything!

Yes, I do fairly backup only folders under Micloud as only 5GB of storage only!

Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Agamemnon Prime:
Hello everyone,

Have Samsung Galaxy S10 [SM-G973F] for 2 years, being very satisfied. It came with One UI 2.5 | Android 10 | G973FXXS9DTI8.

I did not upgrade, staying on the version as it came. Android 10 performs well for me.

Recently bought another one, a Dual SIM version ... Galaxy S10 [SM-G973F/DS]. This one came however with preinstalled One UI 4.1 | Android 12 | G973FXXUFHVE1.

I want to get the second one on the same version of the Android 10.

Checked with CPU-Z the specs, both are on the same Exynos CPU, both devices have the same Release date 01.03.2019.

From reading forums / tutorials / guides etc. for some days now I am aware, that it is not the easiest thing I want to achieve, on the other hand my understanding is that it is doable.

I am looking for a senior well experienced advisor for this task.

I am also aware, that the risk is at the end still on my side.

Some fair remuneration for such support is to be expected.

Feel free to reply here or PM me, whatever is the preference.

Looking forward for your support / feedback.

You will not downgrade the original firmware version in Samsung because of the BIT.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
Lowering the stock firmware version locks the bootloader. There is no chance to lower the bootloader version to be able to flash official android 10 when the phone had firmware with higher BIT than that of android 10.

You can

try

However, it is not known whether this is possible, as neither the author of the thread nor anyone else has answered the question on this issue.

Hi there,

I tried both dd and adb pull to extract userdata partition (mmcblk0p57) from device.

The results were different.

For dd

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p57 of=data.img

it returned

dd: data.img: Read-only file system

For adb pull, it created a NDIF disk image of userdata partition.

Why dd command failed?

What would be the differences between ddand adb pull commands?

First week with this phone.

I don't have any kind of overheating.

On the other hand, battery is sort of dissapointing, it lasts the same as my older phones (mi 10, mi 9, honor 8, nexus 5). Around 6 hours of SOT give or take. And the charging is slower than mi 10/9.

whait for s23 ultra with sd 8 gen 2
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
Wait for the S23u with 8gen2, the 8gen1 and exy2200 are both inefficient.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] riz157:
I've got around 7 of these phones and out of them 3 had severe lag.

128gb seems to be the worst, higher memory seem to perform better.

Unless you are getting a bargain I'd wait for s23 ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vampyren:
Why? S23 is around the corner. From the leaks it will be much better in power efficiency, specially if you are in EU and stuck with the Exynos chip which i think sucks. I read Snapdragon takes better images and is more efficient (even if i read they get overheated also)....but much of that is fixed in the S23 that uses a updated gen2 chip.

S22U is a great phone but i'm dissapointed with battery and image quality still.

Compared to my iPhone images are a hit and miss. Sometimes they are awesome but sometimes they are grainy or colors are off or just blurry.

And as said battery drain is pretty bad. Like overnight dropping 7-8% compared to 2-3% on iphone.

Same when i use it, i can literally see the battery go down...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] c0n73mn:
1. Notification bar is looking like it is a theme made 10 years ago.

2. Lagging and stutters is very possible, depends on unit to unit.

3. Phone does overheat if you planning to use an app that is a heavy resources consuption or badly optimized.

4. Samsung's devices are overfilled with bloat-ware.

5. Battery efficiency is pretty bad.

6. A lot of S22U were sent back for a replacement due to multiple hardware issues, for example mine is restarting by it self when a phone call starts (not every time) but at least few times a month.

7. Edges are not usefull at all but rather annoying.

8. Stylus has terrible grip, very uncountable to hold.

9. Speaker is terrible too, if you planning to listen to a music at full volume, stop.

10. It has very annoying notifications that are not important at all and unable to deactivate, for example (Messenger is using your mobile data).

11. Fingerprint scanner is ok but could be better, sometimes I have to touch it 3 - 5 times to get it registered (depends on angle).

I've been struggling with stutters, lags as well as audio stutters for several months until a big update came up. Scrolling through UI was extremly jerky.

Personally I would never buy a samsung's device ever again but that is just me and I understand other may be completely satisfied.

For older devices Samsung is releasing updates that are slowing the devices down so people have to buy newer products regularly. For me this is just unacceptable. This is a verified info that you can search for too.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Batfink33:
I think it's an SOC issue on the s22u both the 8gen1 and Exy2200 are fabbed by Samsung foundries and are poor(Samsung foundries 4nm node was awful with low yields). The zfold4 with TSMC 8+Gen1 is one of the smoothest and fastest phones I've used recently, even much better than the Pixel. I don't think the issue is OneUI. I expect the S23u with the TSMC 8gen2 will be blazing fast and buttery smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SamLux:
Might not be relevant to you, but I by now *regrett* buying the Samsung S22 Ultra.

The reason being that (depending on where you buy your phone) the firmware for your region will disable a lot of features. E.g. for me it is impossible to somehow activate the eSIM support.

And I really tried all the tweaks that are out there.

But you only notice these things after you've purchased the phone, because nothing about this is written in the manuals.

So my advice: Stay away from Samung phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
Honestly, the s22 Ultra was a trash offering, regardless of the chipset, of course Exynos is worse. I'm trading it in for the s23 Ultra (I'm stuck with Samsung due to the purchase of a Samsung watch) and hopefully it won't be disappointing this time around. But to what I said earlier do be careful of what wearables you buy and from what brand, Samsung has great wearables, but half the features and functions usually get limited to their phones/devices. Unfortunately I didn't realise this when I bought my Galaxy Watch 4, and so now I'm stuck for at least a few years till I swap out the wearable and then the phone brand itself, probably back to Xiaomi.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bodomfan:
I have the S22 Ultra snapdragon, great phone but some minor annoyances

. Battery it's not poor but could be better for 5000mah

. Speakers could be a bit louder

. And camera is rubbish at capturing moving subjects it always comes out blurry
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mbushnaq00:
I am in the same bought boat as you and bit the bullet and bought the s22 ultra 256GB. It's been 3 days since I bought it and honestly I am really satisfied. I had the z fold4 before but I found it impractical, the s22 ultra has almost the same level of performance with no noticeable downgrade. I have the snapdragon variant and it does not overheat. Battery life is OK, but it's too early to judge as it is still learning my usage patterns.

Overall I recommend buying the s22 ultra even though s23 ultra is right around the corner. Yes, it will have an effecient CPU, but I do not expect much from a single generation leap. A real upgrade would be s24 ultra as it is expected that the entire design will change
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
Don't plan on upgrading my S22U to the S23U. However if I were in the market for a new phone I'd wait another month and get the S23U. No brainer IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sticky92:
i agree with most of the reviews here. this device does not worth it.

can't believe it's actually rated as a Ultra/premium device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cfds:
For all of you counting the S23U to be the perfect phone...did they not told us that the S22U was the best of the best?

Like the SD8Gen2 will solve all your problems...

I have both the S21U and S22U with the Exynos chip and both are running fine, no overheating, no lags or stutters.

From what I have read so far is that Android 13 with One UI 5.0 has improved a lot on both the S21 and S22. I had no complaints on Android 12 and have no complaints on the latest software.

Battery life...I can't complain but then I don't have any of the social media apps on my phone which seems to be using a lot of battery.

We have little to no bloatware on the EU versions and even then this is a one time solution, delete the bloatware.

At the end of the day its ONLY a phone. There are far more important things in life than this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Yes, year to year I read about unveiled best and a lot of better from year old flagship.

And after few months opinion/ reviews about disadvantages and even features which previous model had better. For example low durability frame S22 series, worse speaker quality compare to S20 series.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
Actually yeah, it will solve a lot, the performance will actually be worth the price tag itself, which as a heavy user I actually do need, it'll solve a lot of battery drain thanks to not being an absolute power munching ****show chipset like the current exynos, oh and I'll actually be able to get decent and stable fps with graphics maxed without the phone turning into an oven. Now lets not forget other things like photography and other stuff like that :) s22 ultra was a flop either way, but exynos took the cherry on the top.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] winoles:
you are really exagerating things here, as if the S22 ultra was an utterly failed device, which clearly is not, by stating that "you are a power user" then why did you buy this device? as an "experienced power user" you should have anticipated what this device was capable of, in all your "experience" most surely you could have picked a really outstanding remarkable and cost efficient device somewhere for sure, as a "power user", tech savvy should/ must have done
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
I decided to take a gamble, due to the AMD team-up, hoped Samsung wouldn't **** up, clearly they did. I took a risk on their ****ty Exynos hoping after all the years with AMD ontop partnering with them that the chipset won't be utter dog****, clearly it is. I wouldn't have this **** phone have I not stuck myself into their ****ty circle of aids, by that I mean I bought a watch and didn't realise I can't use half of it without a Samsung phone. Had that not been the case this phone would be in the bin, and I'd be back to better phones. After 10 years I decided to try Samsung again and it'll stay as one of my regretful purchases. Not to mention it was pre-order, so no, it's not like after all this time and all the negative feedback I went and bought the phone, like I said took a gamble and lost. Hope that explains to you why a heavy user that's so unsatisfied has this steaming pile of ****e, not to mention it cost €1350 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Finneri:
Poor you, it really seems that you have struggled this whole year with this phone. It is also very sad that you paid 1350€ for pre-order price, others paid less. Good luck going forward, it seems impossible to sell your phone and watch and move on. Samsung offers only 5 years security updates so the next phone is just around the corner!

For me the phone has worked flawlessly. Not a heavy user, got it 2 weeks ago so straight to A13. Also, I paid 700€ for s22 last May and now got this exchanged because they lost my phone in repair. Not bad at all!
