r/S22Ultra

Hi everyone, I recently got a Galaxy S22 Ultra which is in almost brand-new condition. However, the battery life is absolutely terrible and drains way too fast. I've already tried basic tips like lowering the resolution to FHD+, disabling 5G, and putting unused apps to deep sleep, but nothing seems to work. For those who managed to fix or at least improve this issue on Reddit, what did you do? Should I change certain settings, use Galaxy Guardian apps, or is this just how the Snapdragon/Exynos processor behaves? Any advice or specific tweaks would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

As of Thursday May 14, 2026, my S22 Ultra has been stuck in a reboot loop after attempting an update. The phone is essentially "bricked" since I was not able reach safe mode to clear cache. I understand there are many tips and tricks to possibly get around this, but since I have not been able to break the loop cycle for over five days, going to Samsung may be my best option. I luckily have insurance (Asurion?), so my only concern is personal data.

I was already in the process of cleaning up storage and memory, but the Devil had better timing and here I am with a flash drive I didn't get the chance to use. My phone is for necessities, so no games and gibbity-gaps. I did attempt to file a claim with AT&T, but I recall the message at the end asking me to come into the store where there are no techs onboard.

I tried to avoid this black hole because I know how petty the S22 line is. I turned off auto-updates months ago, so that I would have more control over the functionality. I was definitely wary of the security patch from February this year, and left that aside until my phone got unbearably slow. Now, I am convinced that was the kryptonite. Shame on you Samsung.

I am currently filing a second claim, and on my way to a Fix-It shop. Any advice, Redditors? Thanks in advance!

So after 3 years a green line has finally appeared. I did try my best to take care of my phone but the past few months I got clumsy. My phone fell a handful of times and these last few days I used it more often coz I was using it to read stuff. I turned it off for now so it can cool down but I know I have to start doing back-up when I turn it on again.

I just want to have an estimate of how much longer do I still have with my phone before more lines appear. 😭 Thanks!

EDIT: I still plan to use Samsung after this coz I'm used to it but I'll keep using this phone until it then since I still don't have the budget for a new one.

Hi all - my mom is going through stage 3 cancer 1,300 miles away from me, and I'd really like to record the great life stories she tells while we talk every day. I can't type quickly enough to keep up while we talk. I know there are AI services that call your parents for you and record their answers to dumb questions, but my mom is the love of my life, so that kind of cold service isn't for me.

Since I'm on an insanely limited budget ($1700 a month won't let me fly up there right now), free or low-cost apps that will run on an S22 Ultra with OneUI 8 and Android 16 - and at least allow me to download the files if not transcribe them - are ideal. Any help is much appreciated. She has so much to still put out into the world, and is not tech-savvy enough to use voice-to-text on the Google Drive account I set up for us.

My s22U worked absotulety fine but saturday the 16th may the phine started lagging a lott like it was unusable i go ti a repair shop i thinked it was a battery problem and it was in reality mother board issue at least it work without wifi so i will backup my data this phone was really incredible for what it was R.I.P s22U i'll will maybe but and s23U or s24U soon..

Guys, when is One UI 8.5 expected to be released for the S22U?

As you all know my S22U has recently encountered the endless boot loop because why? Apparently a cyber attack that targeted S22 Ultras and other tech stuff I don't know much about. I'm hoping to use Odin to fix my phone and then sell it but once I do what phone should I upgrade to that is not vulnerable to these issues that happened with the S22U? Any feedback would be very much appreciated, be as detailed as you can. God bless you and thanks to everyone that has been helping me try to fix my phone.

So I'm getting an s22u for 800 AED. The specifications are 512gb/12gb. The body is in perfect condition 9.5/10 Snapdragon processor, but the display is changed to the one with the bigger black borders rounded at the corners. What you all think is it worth it to buy?

S22 phones are starting to enter an endless reboot loop. I'm not sure whether a recent update caused the issue or if the motherboard is starting to fail. The phones themselves were guaranteed security updates until early next year. I’ll update this thread as more information becomes available.

Hello,

My Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra suddenly went into a boot loop while I was using it, and since then it keeps restarting continuously.

I have already tried the following steps:

1. Pressing Volume Down + Power button for a hard reset – no success
2. Pressing Volume Up + Power button to enter recovery mode while connected to a laptop – still not working

Could you please guide me on how to fix this issue and get the phone out of the boot loop?

Thank you.

Hello all.

I have an S22 Ultra that I bought used last year. It has worked great up until last month, where I noticed more frequent cell reception issues. At first I was sort of in the middle of nowhere where it was more likely to be a problem, so I attributed it to that. Now that I'm back home, I've noticed that the issue still persists where it never has before. I've also noticed that the phone jumps to incorrect carriers, and it switches between "Emergency calls only" and "No service." If I go drive out to some places, my phone switches to the correct carrier and I get perfect reception with LTE, and I can connect to the Internet and call.

Things I've already tried:

- eSIM activation

- new physical SIM

- mobile network reset and reboots

- etc.

- Went to the carrier, and put my SIM in demo phone ➖ (signal — calling features are restricted by the IT admin)

- Put SIM in worker's phone 📞✅ (got signal, called successfully)

With all that being a narrowed down, I now suspect that the issue is from my phone, either software or hardware. I'm hoping software, because hardware would be more complex to solve. I've done everything I can think of, short of a factory reset (need to figure out how to back up app data, or I may say screw it).

Hope y'all can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Dropped my S22u 1TB and broke the screen, got a green line and glass thats chipped from the impact site.

Now we all know this is a 4yr old phone but I just upgraded this December 🤕

Question for the masses out there, whats the best solution you found for your fallen heroes?

Note: phone is still 99.6% usable and I'll probably keep using it till it falls apart, still got my Note9s, S20u and Note20u but curious about the rest of y'all.

Note 9 is being used by folks but they are in need of an upgrade, might flash it later to extend its life. Love its form factor.

S20u: can't let this one go, got too many things tied into it so yeah. This one had a rhinoshield bumper case so virtually the best handheld experience so far!

Note20u: got a refurbished screen on it which glitches the entire phone into oblivion. So use it very infrequently.

All in all remote wireless dex works fantastic so there's that.

What would y'all do?

The original screen and Housing components arent worth getting since its almost the same price for what I paid for these devices

My S22U does not turn on anymore. I got a watchdog reset screen and now its all black. I have tried holding volume down and power button and still wont turn on.
