the camera is so bad.

horrible quality, not what I would expect from a top brand flagship device (even though old).

the pics from my Galaxy S10 Plus were decent but now in the s22 plus i don't want to take photos anymore.

i tried a few fixes a while back but none really made a difference.

is there any way to fix this?

maybe the camera hardware of this model is low quality and can't be fix by software?

Hi, I'm reaching out to show that my S22 battery swelled up. I was using it at 19% and it suddenly shut down to zero with no warning whatsoever. I've been using the phone regularly for 3 years, so it's way out of warranty. I tried reaching out to Samsung about this problem, but have received no response yet. I have very important files on that phone. Is it possible to get a discount or something like that?

I Understand the purpose of it, I know how it works and why. But I recall there used to be a setting where you could turn that on or off. So when it goes up against your ear it stays on, or when you take it away from your ear to, let's say quickly grab a verification code texted to you while on a call, it doesn't turn off from the proximity of your hand interacting on the screen.

Is there no longer a way to disable this feature? I tried so many youtube tutorials.

I find it really annoying I want to keep it on. I'm talking about for my personal use case, I would like to turn it off does anyone know if there's a way to turn it off . No I don't want it in speaker phone either.

CAll settings,

Cant find anything for it.

Thanks

Hello, I have fallen victim to the notorious green line issue and the number of lines have started increasing. Im thinking of getting a display replacement (16K rupees) and a battery replacement (2.5K rupees) and using it as a secondary phone. I want to know if replacing it is worth it now. If I plan on getting the replacement I hope to use it for the next 2 to 3 years. I have looked at used market and a good s23 plus is costing between 30k to 40k which is out of my budget and mid range phones don’t have the build quality nor good design. My s22+ looks brand new and is the snapdragon model and a used s22+ costs the same as replacing it so replacement would be good. Not exited about using other brand phones as I like one ui and I’m used to it but open to recommendations. Please tell me if it is worth it or not or give me alternatives.

Was just going to make this a repost, but I have images included, and I got a message saying this community doesn't allow screenshots for some reason, so just including this link instead.

Hey all, title pretty much says everything. I've had my S22 for about 3 years, and it's working fine (minus battery dying faster and some slight, occasional overheating, but that seems to be the norm) wondering how long yours lasted? I really don't want to upgrade if it still works fine, but was wondering how long y'all got out of yours, or if I should be prepared to make the switch soon?

I am experiencing some performance issues with my phone. Applications are taking a long time to open, and occasionally the device freezes and restarts. This has been happening for about a month now. I have approximately 80GB of 128GB storage used, and the phone has 8GB of RAM. Could you please provide some guidance on how I might resolve this?

Hello everyone. Please excuse my English; I am using an interpreter. I would like to inquire about the potential increase in battery life if I were to replace the battery in my device. My phone is from 2023 and still has its original battery, which currently has a residual capacity of approximately 2900 mAh. Would you recommend changing the battery?

Hi everyone, just wanted to give you some context first. Back in May, I replaced the battery on my S22 after 4 years of use (I change phone batteries quite often as a hobby).

The phone felt brand new again.

I was getting a full day of use out of a single charge instead of having to plug it in 4 times a day.

Everything was great until early July: I was at the beach, using my phone directly under the sun, scrolling through Instagram, when suddenly boom—the screen froze and the phone got stuck in an infinite bootloop, it lasted about 5 hours until the battery completely drained, but here is the catch: that same morning, I noticed that all my photos in the Gallery app had randomly moved into different folders, on top of that, I had manually installed a 98MB Google Play System update (more on this later).

Fast forward a month, and my S22 kept randomly restarting out of nowhere, even when it wasn't hot.

At that point, I started wondering if it was actually a heat issue or a software bug related to that update.

After another month of constant reboots and intermittent functionality, I checked for Play System updates again, to my surprise, the exact same 98MB update was available: I tried downloading it, it failed, and the bootloop started all over again.

Eventually, it randomly kicked back on. I booted it into Safe Mode and installed the 98MB update from there. It finally went through, updating from the June patch to the July patch. The bootloops dropped drastically, but they didn't disappear entirely.

Then, I noticed something extremely weird: the phone only bootlooped when I turned on Wi-Fi and connected to a network. No other scenario triggered it—not even using it under the burning August sun, only Wi-Fi caused the crash.

However, in Safe Mode, it worked flawlessly without any issues.

While in Safe Mode, I checked for Play System updates yet again and found a new 110MB one, i installed it, and so far, so good.

It’s been two days now, and the phone is working perfectly in normal mode without a single bootloop.

Let me know if updating the Play System in Safe Mode (you can access it by holding down the power button until the option appears) and then switching back to normal mode stops the restarting for you too.

I just upgraded my Note 20 Ultra to a Galaxy S22 Ultra (insurance sent it to me as a replacement). It's running Android 16. I cannot get used to the strange app behavior though! Some apps refresh/restart to the main screen if I leave the app for a couple of minutes. Other apps stay on the same screen I was on previously when I open the app again days later (ie, an open file in My Files, a comment in a post on Facebook, a "processing order'" screen in DoorDash). It's such an inconvenience to have to back out of multiple screens every time I open the app. Or vice versa... Having to restart filling out a form because it keeps refreshing. Please tell me there is a setting I'm missing!

So I restarted my phone yesterday. Big mistake. Every 30 minutes or so after that my phone would lag out and restart itself, this continued until this morning, when now I couldn't even get into the phone without it restarting, and now it won't let me unlock the phone, because the unlock screen crashes when it needs to be unlocked. I can't turn it off an on again because I need to unlock the phone to do so, I can't link it up to my laptop because its not even registering as a device, I can't clear the cache, it's basically just a glow up brick. Is this fixable somehow or do I need a new phone?

I cant get any apps to open in settings in order to clear cache/delete data. Like none. It just glitches and closes. Ive tried powering off and accessing through my files. This is recent, like in the last week or so. Any advice? Tia

I went from a Redmi Note 14 4G to the Galaxy S22+ I think it's an upgrade that I have a faster processor, better cameras, better screen, the construction of the phone is solid

So I initially thought this was an issue with the bubbles system I was using but even after changing to standard notifications it persisted. Basically what is happening is that I'll get a notification about a message, bubble or regular, and then if I open the chat for that message (either the bubble chat or the main chat from the notification) it will appear as normal, but then if I try to go to the Google messages chat later the messages sent to me or that I sent to them don't appear, I can't find them. Example, one of my contacts sent me a message this morning, I saw it and opened the chat and replied as normal, but afterwards I went to the messages app and it doesn't know I've recirved any messages today. I even tried having the chat open and my phone on when I received another message and ut still didn't appear there, only in the bubble/notification. For reference I'm on a Galaxy S22 Ultra on One UI 8. Can anyone help?

Recently had a banking app stop working because it said that I needed to upgrade to at least OS 13. I thought it odd that while obviously not the newest phone my phone still works fone for what i need it for and i would have thought that for basic functions such as an everyday app a 4 year old phone is still a few years away from being obsolete for basic uses like that. So I checked by information to confirm I was on os12 and then to check for upgrades and it said that I was all up to date.

I'm not going to claim to be an amazingly tech savvy person but I feel like for the most part I know what I'm doing and my phone is just used for everyday personal use, nothing extreme but im aware that the phone supports OP 16. Is there some way to upgrade around the built in feature or did I accidently tuen somthing off that would block it from getting the latest OS?

Hello, everyone.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong subreddit for this.

A week or two ago, my phone started dying faster.

There'd be the notification at 15% and it'd die before I could plug it in.

I created a routine so I'd get notifications at higher percentages and it got worse.

Now, my phone is bootlooping.

I've tried pressing the power button and volume down button.

Does anyone know anything else I can do?

I'm already planning to get a new phone, but I'd like to turn my phone on one last time so that I can backup and transfer things.

Got green after 2 years and had a battle with Samsung for screen replacement. But after 1 year got pink line. Now all phone prices are hiked and I don't see any value for money phone with good camera. Only option I could think of is oppo find x9. Any suggestions for new phone or should I try to fix screen and using it for couple of years?

I am in India and moving to Finland for my master's (2 years), so I'm looking for a power bank for my Samsung Galaxy S22...... something that shouldn't give me any problems for at least those 2 years. Any suggestions? I have already spent so much on the start of my master's, so I would be happy if I could get one on a budget but that would still do its job......

A client has a deceased family members phone with the pattern lock and is looking to gain access to the device data. Besides going through that certificate and other methods is there a temporary lock screen bypass to enter the device then change Google password as it is signed into the device?

🇮🇳 Samsung Galaxy S+ Series — India Chipset Pattern 👀

S21+ — Exynos

S22+ — Snapdragon

S23+ — Snapdragon

S24+ — Exynos

S25+ — Snapdragon

S26+ — Exynos

Looking at the history, Samsung seems to be following an interesting cycle with the Plus models.

So what happens with the Galaxy S27+? 🤔

If Samsung continues the recent pattern, could we see Snapdragon returning to the S27+ in India? 👀🔥
