r/GalaxyS22

Guys my s22 gets way more hot than usual while using camera. and it also gets more hot in sunny environment more hot than usual like i cant even touch the screen and the battery has degraded i think it lasts for only 2hrs of usage.

Does changing battery resolves this issue?

Hi All,

So the last February patch has wrecked my phone. Constant bootloops, black screen and a laggy UI that can't maintain it self for just 30 secs. Yesterday, I thought that it was the final nail in the coffin. The phone won't turn on, even after trying all the methods that I read through all of your posts. Didn't seem to work.

In fact, I went to the Samsung Customer service and yet, they had no clue. They refused to give me any tips by saying that its an International version and they can't help me. It might be a motherboard issue and it's not worth changing that as it would be costly.

Now, I am not sure what to do with this. I am not even able to take the backup. Smart switch isn't even working.

Though, one thing came to my mind. Samsung is giving a trade-in deal for this phone. So if I go for a s26 ultra. i might be able to get off $900 dollars off the new phone.

So I was wondering, should I go with this ? Would they reduce the value of the phone once they found out about the state of the phone ?

I would appreciate your responses.

My S22 started crapping out on me: device gets insanely hot, screen freezes on its own, restarting on its own, and battery life not even lasting a few hours. I tried everything, like updating OneUI (there was no update to do), restarting the phone, draining to 0% then charging to 100%, still nothing.

BUT as a last resort I left it in the freezer for an hour and the phone started working buttery smooth, as if I had just opened the device out of the box a couple years ago. Granted, after a few hours of normal use, the problems above proceeded to show up little by little. But if I throw it back in the freezer like before, then that temporarily fixes it once again. I will probably have to upgrade soon and back up all my data. I saw online that this seemed to be a surprisingly common issue among S22 users so I wanted to share this temporarily solution to make your device still useable until you upgrade. Hope this helps!

Hi guys, I'm currently using an S22 Plus 256GB, which uses a Snapdragon Gen 1 chipset. To be honest, I'm facing a lot of problems with this phone. This is something that people on Reddit have been talking about a lot, such as the phone overheating, lagging (due to heat), and the battery draining very quickly. To be honest, when I first bought it, I didn't really care about the battery drain, but what really annoyed me was the phone getting hot and lagging! This really made me angry. Plus, I just opened the camera and it was already hot. Now my phone has a green line, so it's time for me to upgrade. So hear me out. Originally, I wanted to upgrade to Samsung's S24 Ultra right away, but my budget wasn't enough, and I couldn't wait to buy it because I couldn't stand this phone. So I just bought the S24 Plus 512GB, which originally cost RM2099(around 400 USD), but I got a discount voucher of up to RM200, so I was able to buy it for RM1899( around 350 USD maybe?). But the issue is, in Malaysia, the phone's chipset is Exynos. Everyone knows there are a lot of problems with Exynos. I know I should wait and save more and grab the Ultra version, but what do you all think?

Hello Since about 2 weeks ago my s22 randomly has lost signal just sitting in my house when I checked it. The one time it caused all bars to go grey then reappear, this time it went from 3 bars to 2 to 1 then grey immediately after picking it up then it said no service and had the mobile data logo with a x about 3 mins later it came back. Same house people with same service and also with Samsung's this did not happen yet to them before. Would like to get some thoughts about it if it could possibly be a phone side issue or if its maybe a tower switching thing and it gets stuck but we have the tower less then a mile from us so I'm not really sure. Any help or input is welcome thanks.

Hey, I have a 22+ in have the codes to unlock it from spectrum but I can not get the unlock box to appear. Spectrum says use another carrier Sim but all im getting is Esim. Is there a way to force the phone to open the network unlock box so I can feed it the code

Have a S22+ that's worked well for a couple of years. In the last week or so, wireless charging seems to have become less reliable. (I prefer having a few wireless charging pads around the house including one by the bedside, to avoid wear on the USB-C socket.)

On several occasions, the phone initially shows the lightning charging symbol, but seems to aquire no charge, despite having been left for an hour or overnight.

If it never charged, I'd suspect the phone's hardware. Might it be update related? Thanks.

Hey everyone,

My Samsung Galaxy S22 just died after being stuck in a bootloop and I’m trying to figure out if there’s anything I can still do.

It started randomly restarting a few days ago, then got stuck in a constant bootloop. I tried the usual stuff:

- force restart

- recovery mode (wipe cache, etc.)

- safe mode (couldn’t even reach it properly)

Now it won’t boot at all — just a black screen or sometimes the Samsung logo flashes briefly and disappears.

I’m mainly concerned about the data (photos, notes, etc.) since I didn’t back everything up. The phone isn’t rooted or modified in any way.

Has anyone dealt with this before on an S22?

Is this likely a motherboard/storage failure, and is there any realistic way to recover the data?

Appreciate any help 🙏

Yesterday afternoon around 2 pm, I turned off battery protect on my S22 so it would slow charge to 100% off my computer USB as I had afternoon-evening plans. To my surprise, just after 4 pm, when I looked at the screen to check how much time before my bus was to arrive, the screen started dimming and got very dark and that's when I noticed it was down to 4%! The phone also felt hot. This was surprising and never happened before. I hope my battery isn't dying as I hope to get another year out of it before security updates stop and I have to trade in for an S27. I checked all the cable connections and they were tight. Luckily, I had a spare charger and cord with me at work, so I plugged it in for a few minutes, but was only able to charge up to around 6% before I had to run out the door and took the charger with me to charge it at the brewpub. I was able to use it for a couple minutes to find the exact bus stop location (as this was different from my normal route and stop), before the screen dimmed again to where I couldn't see anything on it like how far away my bus was. I was able to charge it back to 80% at the brew pub, and it seems fine now, but I haven't turned off battery protect again. The previous evening, I had also turned off battery protect less than an hour before I had to leave for a concert and was able to charge up to 92%.

before the February patch my wired headphones were fine then when the February patch came it ghosting my adapter cutting out refusing to go on wifi calling then when i unplug the adapter gusse what? gose back on wifi calling and the worse part is that now the s22 is moving to quarterly updates so fuck you samsung thanks for messing my wired headphones with the February patch so thanks.

hello everyone. I'm suffering because of the stupid decision to remove the SD card slot. My SD card has all my data and i am willing to do do an exception ONLY IF there is a dongle that allows me to connect an SD card and a cable for charging but it has to be small, support charging and using my SD at the same time and has to be cheap. Does anyone have any recommendations? Please let me know

So I have unlimited data. My phone makes and gets calls and texts and I get notifs for app info. But I can't get on any apps at all. Says I'm not connected to data. Wifi is fine. I dropped the phone and I'm sure that's what messed it up. It's connected to data fine but I just can't access net or apps. Least they still show messages, discord posts etc etc. I've tried all the tricks and tips but just can't use apps/browser etc. Any idea whar could be the internal issue? Is it best to just get an S23 maybe?

​

Reposting because this is STILL happening and I haven’t found a solution.

My Galaxy S23 randomly pulls down the notification panel while I’m typing (2–3 times per hour). It feels exactly like a ghost swipe from the top edge.

Tried all the usual fixes (again recently):

Disabled swipe-down gesture

Disabled fingerprint gestures

Changed quick panel layout

Cleaned screen / changed protector

Reset settings

Even did a full factory reset of the phone

Nothing worked.

At this point I’m seriously wondering:

Hardware issue (digitizer?)

One UI bug?

Some weird edge-touch sensitivity problem?

Has anyone actually fixed this? Even a partial workaround would help.

This is getting pretty frustrating during daily use.

Gonna start this off by saying I understand it's a native feature of the phone and that it's unlikely I'll be able to achieve this.

So I'm on speakerphone a lot for calls. When I'm on speaker and I need to listen to something or watch a video, my phone will throttle the volume of the video while leaving the call unchanged. It's really inconvenient because to hear the media, I need to stick my ear to my speaker but meanwhile there's people speaking at full volume and I feel like I'm going to rupture my eardrum.

Does anyone know if there's a setting or app or anything that can get media to play at a normal volume level while being on a phone call on speaker?

Hola tengo un problema, mi pc nunca reconoce los dispositivos qualcomm, en ningun modo ni mtp, ni edl, ni ninguna forma, no es que sale el tipico error de cartel amarillo, directamente es como si nunca se conectaran con la pc (no es ni cable, ni pc, ni placa de carga, cambie todas varias veces). Tengo drivers de qualcomm instalados y demas. Necesigo una solucion por favor. Gracias
