Galaxy S22 thread

And I wonder if they'll ever fix the service mode screen before the next android release, still says "code review required".

August update is out for 22+     539.60mb

Nothing yet in that regard here for the unlocked variant unfortunately (posting for those who might have one vs Tmo centric)

Still no n2 or n25 either. Really surprised on that one since they've publicly shown tests results using an S22 and n25+n41+n41. To me it kind of takes away from the validity of that test since they used some sort of custom firmware, makes you wonder what else they might have modified. Its not really a "stock" device at that point.

On many Samsung phones, the unlocked phone has far more bands available (at least with the s2 ultra and a52 5G).

Beta for Android 23/One UI 5 is now available.. Sign up with the banner in Samsung Members.

So far smooth Performance.

Still no changes to band selection menu it appears.

The update does allow you to see UL CA on LTE-only and SCC on NSA NR though. Will post more on those in the network thread.

Heck yeah! I was hoping this would come out before my trip on Saturday!

I see the issue about having to toggle SIM connection off and on to get RCS connected in Messages after a reboot is still there.

Love the detailed release notes.

Wonder why he is seeing extra entries in the service menu that we are not?

Maybe he is rooted? That being said, I've seen a number of random new entries in the*#0011#, basically enumerating the TX/RX signal strength for all of the carriers but the values make no sense (in the 800s). I haven't been able figure out what triggers it to appear but it isn't always there

[mdob07]

With n25 being spotted now what are the odds T-Mobile finally enables it for the S22s in the Sept update? 

[mdob07]

Just got a 1.2GB update on my AT&T phone, still says August for security patch level so I wonder what all was in this update. 

[IrwinshereAgain]

Tmobile 2nd August update was huge also.

[PythonFanPA]

Playing off @clbowens mention in the S21 thread of another August update, I just checked on my unlocked S22+ and in our case the September update appeared available.   All three versions showing end in '2AVHL' and in my case its a 339.21MB patch.

[mdob07]

Just checked my T-Mobile and AT&T phone and both still say up to date with August update for now. I'm hoping T-Mobile enables n25 finally this month but not holding my breath.

Unlocked has had n25 for a while (at least the s21 ultra)

Just installed the September update on my S-22.  STILL no n-25 showing in the *#2263# NR5G band preference menu. bands 2, 4 & 12 are not there either but 66 is.  Using the TM version of the S-22.

Thats funny, my S22 on the android 13 beta is still saying up to date with August update.

Seeing reports that the iPhone 14 is much faster on 5G than the iPhone 13.  But the upgrade is the same modem wise as the S21 > S22.  Does the iPhone 14 use CA more than the S22 does?

I have read several anecdotal reports that there is some sort of issue with the S22 and the modem. People have mentioned that they get notably and consistently faster speeds on eSIM compared to physical SIM. I know on my phone I have never been able to break 1.0Gbps yet, whereas others HAVE been able to on the same site. I am considering trying switching to eSIM and see if what has been reported is true.

[mdob07]

Does anyone have an S22 on AT&T using esim? I've tried looking up how to switch but the directions I've found online my AT&T account doesn't have the option to request esim. Was hoping to avoid a store visit. For T-Mobile it was a very quick and easy process.

New beta update out. Nothing new in band selection.
