r/S22Ultra

I don't know if this is thr right subreddit to post this. But I'm conflicted on what to do.

I guess I jinxed myself by reading all those S22Ultra reddit posts about it starting to fail. Now thr same thing is happening to my S22Ultra that affected my Note20Ultra. This jist happened thr other day and not sure if should replace for a S24Ultra or get it fixed.

I can either get thr screen(battery and back cover) replaced all OEM, like I did woth my Note20Ultra for $350 or get a S24Ultra for $650 refurbished "Excellent" condition. I'm jist paranoid of something happening to thr S24Ultra and not have insurance for it. Has anyone bought from bestbuy marketplace and had good results??

S22 Ultra got May 2026 and then June 2026 update.

Previously I heard that S22 ultra will get quarterly updates.

This can be indication of One UI 8.5 ?

Finally, not having oneui 8.5 on the S22 Ultra might be a blessing as it looks like. Our battery life is already a disgrace but if that bad optimisation is true, what would we do with a phone with already a sucking battery life to get an even worse battery performance?

Same may apply for my other impression: the lag, since Samsung Devices tend to lag after they get their last update to make us upgrade to the newer version. Although this is just an impression, if true, they thought it will come with 8.5 so they left 8.0 just fine.

So at the end of the day, maybe keeping Oneui 8.0 might be beneficial for us due to that bad optimisation.

S22 ultra 128/8 with the exynos 2200 chipset. I am aware that the gaming performance for heavy gaming is not great even with snapdragon 8 gen1 chipset on this phone, but this seems a little too excessive. I have seen video demonstrations where it shows very occasional frame drops on areas like inazuma, but none of them stutter or lag this much.

I bought the phone used. It's been opened from behind twice. Once because the back glass had shattered and charging port got fried due to voltage surge in my area (common in pakistan) and once before I had bought the phone for unknown reasons.

I now charge the phone wirelessly using mag safe power banks because fixing the charging port requires motherboard replacement according to phone repair guy.

A few things to note: I play with high settings and fps locked at 45 thought it rarely achieves that figure. I have reduced render distance and shadow quality to medium as well as environmental quality. Still little to no change. This was recorded after 30 minutes of playing while the phone is charging wirelessly from power bank attached to the back. But there is little improvement when you've just started playing and powerbank is not connected. I have tried GOS like netguard but it doesnt help much either. FYI phone cant even run roblox on max settings.

I have used 108 out of 128 GB so plenty of space left.

Is my phone bricked, or can I do something to make my gaming experience somewhat enjoyable at the very least? Fighting enemies proves to be a challenge nowadays.

Finally I get the best Screen on time From S22 Snapdragon 8Gen 1. Using Hail, Enforce Doze , Processing Speed - High, And Smart launcher.

Just received june patch and it's still on oneui 8.0😪

Hey everyone, 

I am seeking advice on how to proceed with a complex hardware issue on my Samsung Galaxy S22 that started immediately after a system update. 

My phone has been kept strictly in a heavy-duty protective case with a screen guard since day one. I took it to an authorized Samsung service centre, where the certified technicians thoroughly inspected the device. They officially verified and documented on the system job card that the phone has absolutely zero physical damage, no cracks, and no liquid exposure. 

The issue is that immediately after installing an official Samsung software update, a vertical pink line appeared on the display. Concurrently, the phone has also started randomly hanging, freezing, and restarting on its own—issues that never existed prior to the update. 

The service centre issued a job card under Condition No. 1 (Estimate/Approval pending) [1.1]. However, because the device is just past its 3-year mark, they are holding firm on an out-of-warranty repair charge of ₹40,000 to replace both the display and the motherboard. 

Since the diagnostic check officially cleared the device of any user negligence or physical damage, it is incredibly difficult to accept a ₹40,000 out-of-pocket expense for a total system degradation triggered entirely by an official manufacturer update. 

Has anyone here successfully appealed an out-of-warranty charge for an update-linked line and motherboard processor issue when the phone's immaculate physical condition is officially documented? Would filing a grievance with the National Consumer Helpline (1915) be the most effective next step? 

I would highly appreciate any constructive guidance or shared experiences. Thank you! 

Hola, tengo una pantalla china con la versión de la imagen. Hay alguna actualización disponible, por favor?

MCU: SK-P-WIFI-20241218-1443H506

No me conecta con mi móvil bien, porque se desconecta la WIFI y nunca llega a conectar bien con mi S22 Ultra.

Is this good? After battery change i noticed like 80% heat reduction not my moblie will not heat much just little warm. Other than that i didnt notice any extented battery screen time much. Am i getting normal battery or less?

Got a pink line on the screen randomly. What should I do now? Will Samsung replace the screen for free? I bought the phone in 2022 and had the screen replaced for free in 2024 by Samsung for a green line issue.
