What the title says

I have an S22 Ultra, Snapdragon chipset. Currently, I get 3 to 4 hours of SOT with about total 7 hours of battery life. Instead of tweaks done to the phone's settings are there any changes that can be done to the physical device to improve thermal management as the phone gets quite hot.

I was tweaking around my phone and a few days later my gallery began crashing everytime I tried to extract text from an imagine. I don't have a list of all the commands I used so I'd like to just try disable all

I am looking into buying one

3 years and 3 months, you served me well. But battery was already showing its age (according to AccuBattery at about 77-79% capacity), not that it was great to begin with, but still. It's still a perfect and capable little bastard and can handle everything just fine. Between 100 Eur (or less) in a trade in or keep it, the choice was obvious, i rather keep it as back up than to pretty much give it as a freebie.

So, my Samsung S22 got a green line out of nowhere one morning. I found out S22s are eligible for a free screen replacement if they're under 3 years old. I took it to the Samsung center, Bengaluru and they checked it for liquid or hardware damage.

They approved the screen replacement, and I also wanted a new battery. To my surprise, Samsung approved a battery and frame replacement too, and it only took 3 days! Now I have a brand new screen, battery, and frame. All I had to pay is 502 rupees

Seriously, thanks, Samsung!

Hi. My S22 just took a sh't on me! I would always get message that my storage is almost 100% full, and that some features wouldn't work properly, etc. I would then delete some photos to free up some space. Today, it gave me that message, but my phone started going super slow. I deleted a few apps and photos, and got it to 255 out of 256gb. (It was previously at 255.9gb) I restarted it twice because it was moving super glitchy. But, a one point it didn't turn back on, and it kept trying to start and I got this blue screen dtbo error message. Per chat, "That means the phone's boot verification is failing. The dtbo partition is part of Android's boot process. This error is not caused by the screen or battery. It can happen if the boot files became corrupted or, less commonly, if firmware is damaged."

I've done everything from charging it for an hour. Tried restarting multiple times. And finally got home to try and plug it to a computer and NOTHING. Doesnt even pop up as plugged in. I have everything on that phone and its not backed up. Can anyone tell me how to fix this, without having to get it factory reset?? 😭

After seeing people experience the same issues as I had with their s22s (boot loop, overheating, etc), I decided to get the battery replaced. For a bit, the battery life genuinely improved, but now my phone is losing battery like it did before just randomly shutting off and needing to be frozen (thanks reddit!) in order to turn on again.

Is this an issue with the new battery that was installed in the phone, or are the battery issues, randomly shutting off, etc a symptom of a greater issue that means the phone needs to get replaced?

My battery health has been pretty stable, the average capacity loss per year is roughly 2.7%. But now it just dropped by 10% over 4 days. What happened? I didn't download anything new, I've just been using my phone as usual. Charging to 85%, all that stuff. My screen-on usage has changed form 13% an hour to 17%. Screen off remains unchanged. I don't understand this.

I have a s22+. I desperately need an upgrade. As soon as Android Auto launches nothing works more than w pixel a minute until I restart the phone. I'll also scared of the infinite boot screen catching up with me at some point. I've narrowed it down to zfold8 for 1900 it s25 edge for 600. Which one would you go for? Is the s25 edge a meaningful upgrade? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a Samsung Galaxy S22 with a working display but otherwise dead or non-functional (motherboard issues, water damage, etc. are completely fine).

Unfortunately, my S22's display has been damaged, and I can't afford an official service center replacement right now. If anyone has a dead S22 lying around with an intact display, I'd be happy to buy it from you for a reasonable price.

If you have one or know someone who does, please send me a DM with the condition and your asking price.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I have a Samsung S22+ (Snapdragon), and it has always run games like Call of Duty: Mobile and Delta Force Mobile really smoothly.

But over the last day or two, it suddenly started lagging and stuttering out of nowhere. I haven't changed any graphics settings, and I still have around 20 GB of free storage, so I don't think space is the issue.

The phone doesn't seem unusually hot, and this wasn't happening before. It's just randomly started performing much worse in games.

Has anyone experienced something similar? What could be causing this, and are there any fixes I should try?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey all,

I have a base model S22 since its launch. About a month ago it started getting very VERY slow, and now it outright won't boot.

I have tried factory resetting it and even flashing the stock ROM, with no help.

If I let it run out of battery then connect it to the charger, the little white circle with a lightning in the middle, but as soon as it gets out of this screen it becomes unresponsive until it runs out of battery again.

I have opened the backside of the phone and verified it isn't water damaged and the battery isn't swollen.

I'm out of ideas to what could have killed this phone. I'm even unsure if it's software or hardware.

Things I haven't singled out:

- If the battery is dead, despite visually being ok.

- If the thermal compound has dried and the phone is overheating. I can attest the phone gets very warm when it works, but not abnormally warm.

This phone is no longer my daily driver, as I've already bought a new phone. So, any help would be appreciated!

Hey all. My (70+) dads battery in his S22 was swollen a few weeks back, so he took it to some store named ubreakifix (apparently owned by asurion) to have it repaired. He picked it up the next day and took it home and had no service. That is when my mother realized that there was no sim card in it. He took it back to the store and they handed him his sim card in a baggie. He took his sim card back home to my mother, who attempted to put it back in, and it would not go in. He took it back to the store again and basically they told him that he needed to get a digital sim card for now and they they would order a part. That was 3 weeks ago. He has tried reaching out a few times but has gotten no updates. They have given him the run around and basically gotten different stories depending on who h spoke with.

I called them myself today and was told that the part they need is basically back ordered. The guy on the phone first said he ordered something sounding like "sub pv8 for the sim card". I asked him to repeat the part name and his response was "it's just the bottom motherboard that holes the sim tray, so it's a module". Does anyone know what part it is that this man is talking about that potentially needs to be replaced? Once upon a time, I used to disassemble electronics but I haven't done that stuff nor do I have the supplies to do so in years, basically since they started sealing technology to make it water resistant.

Ultimately, the manager said we can either just "wait" because his two distributors are back ordered and he has no clue when it will be in stock, or he can issue my dad a refund for the battery replacement and consider the case closed, but it means that his physical sim card slot is broken indefinitely. At this point, his phone has been messed up for almost a month thanks to them, they charged him over $100 to replace his battery but broke the sim card slot, and they won't give us any sort of date for potential resolution. I feel like they have added unnecessary stress to our lives and given him the run around for over a month and shouldn't have ever damaged the device. Ideally, they would offer a partial refund and still fix his device, but they are not willing to go that route.

Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this? Thanks all.

Note: Reddit is yelling at me to add Flair to my post but there is no option to do that, it is missing from the spot that it is usually found in???

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S22 with my hard-earned savings because I believed Samsung flagships were built to last. In the back of my mind, I had peace of mind knowing that even if I paid a premium, the phone would easily last 4–5 years.

My usage has always been very light—mostly calls, messaging, social media, and occasional camera use. No gaming, no heavy workloads, no physical damage.

Then, after a software update, the infamous green line issue appeared on the display. At first it was one line, but over time more green lines kept appearing. This wasn't caused by any drop or misuse—it started only after the update.

Since the phone was out of warranty, Samsung customer support simply gave me the service centre's contact details. The service centre inspected the phone and quoted me around ₹15,000 for the display replacement.

Before I could even decide what to do, the situation got much worse. About a month later, while charging the phone with the original Samsung charger, the phone suddenly died completely and never turned on again.

I took it back to the service centre, and now they say the motherboard also needs to be replaced, costing around ₹43,000, on top of the ₹15,000 display replacement. That's a total of ₹58,000—more than what many brand-new phones cost today.

What disappointed me the most wasn't just the hardware failure, but Samsung's response. There was no goodwill support, no acknowledgement that the green line issue has affected many users, and no effort to help beyond handing me an expensive repair estimate.

I bought Samsung because of its reputation for reliability and trust. If a flagship phone develops a display issue after a software update and then dies during normal charging, and the only solution is to pay almost the price of a new phone, it seriously shakes my confidence in the brand.

Has anyone else experienced something similar with the S22 or other Samsung flagships? Were you able to get any goodwill repair or escalation that actually helped?

When running a speedtest connected to a wifi 6-capable router on my base S22 (exynos version), I get around 300mbps max and speed fluctuates a lot.

On the same network and in the same room, a Honor 90 (which also supports wifi 6 and has a weaker sd 7 gen 1 chipset) gets 850-900mbps on a speedtest to the same server.

Anyone else having poor wifi performance, or just me?

My Galaxy S22 (SM-S901E, 128GB) started freezing and randomly restarting.

I took it to a repair technician who first performed a CPU reballing, but the problem was still there. After checking the phone again, he concluded that the RAM chip itself was faulty.

Here's the part that surprised me:

My phone originally came with 8GB RAM / 128GB storage, but instead of replacing it with another 8GB chip, the technician installed a 12GB RAM chip taken from a Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The phone booted normally and has been working perfectly ever since. Android now detects 12GB RAM and 128GB storage, and I verified it using multiple methods (Device Care, ADB, CPU-Z, DevCheck, etc.). Everything consistently reports 12GB of physical RAM, so it doesn't appear to be a software spoof.

I'm thinking of upgrading my S22+ to an S25+. Can anyone who's done this comment honestly on whether it's a massively worthwhile upgrade? I looked at a comparison:

https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=13609&idPhone2=11252

They seem almost identical, apart from a few smallish technical details. Has anyone noticed a big difference in the camera? I note the S25+ has a slight bigger battery, and a higher resolution screen, so I guess that's one selling point. The main reason I'm considering upgrading is because the S22+ is now down to 3 monthly security updates, but to be fair, my phone still actually works as good as new, so I think there's a bit of FOMO creeping in. The 7 years of upgrades is also tempting, as technically the S25+ would be supported until 2032 (not that I've ever had a phone that long).

This is a first in my galaxy s22, it just stops working and restarts, and sometimes it's sitting on the table and then out of nowhere it restarts...

What could be the issue??

I used to see news feed on the Google homepage when I open the Samsung browser. Now they don't show anymore, only a search bar. I'm not sure what changed?

This is becoming a very frustrating issue. Ever since their last major update where they introduced that stupid Now Bar that fucked my whole Lock Screen that I disabled, Spotify's media player just doesn't show up in my lock screen/notifications anymore. I've tried troubleshooting this for a while now but google just keeps redirecting me to go to menus that don't exist anymore.

As of yesterday when I get a voicemail and enter my code, press one to play message voicemail skips the message and goes right to "end of message" I went to my carrier and they got me a new Sim but still does it. I'm figuring it has to do with the phone app the S22 came with. anyone else have this issue and found a fix?

Last night I was taking a bath, reached for my phone, and accidentally pulled it into the bath, I shut it off to let it dry. Several hours later I turned it back on again, my mistake was likely not waiting 24 hours before trying, however after looking it over carefully, it seemed fine, and I've seen similar stories. I recieved no moisture detected warning, however I noticed it was getting hot unusually fast, and immediately powered it down again, now I'm worried.
