Per /u/revik2 (a verified Sprint Corporate Employee) over on Reddit:  As for my opinions on the device so far. It seems like a solid incremental improvement over my Note20Ultra: The m

Wow, October Security Patch is already out for TMO locked.

I just downloaded the October update to my TM S22.  I notice two things.

I am having some drops from the TM network and then it takes a minute or even more for a reconnect.

I have seen some better upload speeds and I have my hopes up that this may be some new carrier aggregation on the upload side.  Hard to prove as it is not consistent.  Sometimes horrible upload (1 or 2 Mbps) and sometimes up to 7 Mpbs.

I have not figured out how to determine if aggregation is involved on the upload.  On the download,  I have either n71 or n25 as the PCC all the time as I am somewhat distant from any n41.  Usually n41 is the second SCC at a -120 level. Any increased upload is probably not coming from n41. We only have 40 Mhz of n41.

Anybody else seeing what I see?

so every so often I seem to lose cellular connectivity. Just now I had a call cut mid way (on Wi-Fi calling) and then didn't get the call back, just went right to VM. And I sent a text, that came back unavailable to send.  All while on my home WIFI.

It has also happened randomly out in the wild.  I am guessing because of Text, it is on the cellular side.... How do they send texts now that VOLTE/NR/IP is how calls are made??

Anyone else have issues like this

That matches the reports that Samsung is just rolling out the Stable build to beta testers in Europe. I estimate Dec or Jan before TMo gets around to releasing it.

My AT&T phone is downloading a 3.3GB update very slowly. Doesn't seem to matter if on wifi or cellular it's just a trickle right now. At this rate it'll be tomorrow before it finishes.

Download finally finished and installed. This was the Android 14 update.

Well I'm having lots of issues with my phone this morning. The phone app keeps not responding and I can't make or answer calls. Kind of an important feature for a phone, especially my work phone.

Power down completely, not just a software restart.   Then power up and see how it goes.  Talking from years of experience with this kind of stuff. New software can give some crazy issues until you power off and do a total restart.

Should not be that way, but crap happens.

Also with big updates like this, wipe the cache partition. It helps ensure any lingering cached settings are removed.

I tried those, I ended up doing a factory reset and that cleared it up. At least with the backup and restore utilities that's not as painful as it used to be. It's mostly back up to 100% now, just a few small things I've got to reset passwords for to get fully back up and running at this point.

T-Mobile is taking it's sweet time approving 14 for the S22 locked. Plus that means we are stuck on October security update.

I wish Samsung could do what Apple does. Just release the update and forget the carriers.

Yes, It hurts that we have to wait for T-Mobile to check and release the latest.  HOWEVER, I NEVER download new software to a phone or anything else on the first few days. New software has bugs almost every time.  Some very minor and occasionally  a very nasty bug.

It can be very wise to check and recheck the software.  You may be seeing an issue this time that T-Mobile has already found and trying to get Samsung to fix BEFORE a total release to us.

If the 14 release does have a issue that might severely downgrade T-Mobiles service, they surely might want to withhold the release until the issue is patched. 

If you owned T-Mobile, would you want to give Samsung a blank check to possibly accidentally terrorize your cell network???
