Same for unlocked, downloading it now. 👍

Rocket Launch

Whatever it was, it affected credit card transactions too all over - I saw a post about that late last night before bed as well.  Went to see TG: Maverick last night (I'd bought our tickets online previously), there was a guy at the electronic kiosk where you can pick up such tickets that tried for nearly 10 minutes to get his card to work on it and nada.

Yep, I get it didn't affect others/other models, but software update is the only logical explanation for the observed behavior.

Just noticed this as I hadn't tried using it since, but is the Flashlight option broken after the update for anyone else?  Hoping this is just a software issue and not hardware on my end.  I'm on the direct from Samsung unlocked version particularly here.

There obviously had to have been a software bug in the mix somehow with this....after the 2nd May update, suddenly the Flashlight on my unlocked S22+ is working again.

Thanks Robert!  We're flying in/out of San Fran, and only going to be as far north as Portland (basically driving through to the coast after going up Bend way showing the wife the WWII Stonehenge south of Goldendale WA and then hitting Multnomah again for a bit), or otherwise I'd ping you about possibly meeting for lunch or something just to face-to-face for once. 

Most of our time while in Oregon will be in the Lincoln C/Dep Bay to Bandon region (2 nights at Otter Crest/Foulweather and 2 nights in Bandon), but we'll definitely be driving all of 101 from Tillamook southward all the way back into Cali/to SF except for where the CA-1 splitoff happens around Leggett or thereabouts which we'll be taking.  Towards the end we're also going down to Big Sur and a little past as well.   When we did (mainly) just an Oregon Coast exploration drive back in 2016, furthest down we hit was Klamath (for the tour thru tree) south of Crescent City.

What's the state of the network experience along the coast - say from Tillamook southward into north Cali - these days since the merger?  We'll be heading out there late August into early September.

Finally got the May security update tonight on factory unlocked S22+, just updated

No joy in Mudville yet for the unlocked version.

Finally hit this morning on the Samsung unlocked version - downloading now.

No joy in Mudville yet for the unlocked version.

Haven't seen him post here in at least over a year now don't think, but assuming he's still lurking.....HBD Robert!

Just noticed this as I hadn't tried using it since, but is the Flashlight option broken after the update for anyone else?  Hoping this is just a software issue and not hardware on my end.  I'm on the direct from Samsung unlocked version particularly here.

So I was able to pick mine up yesterday (again, S22+ Unlocked) afternoon at FedEx and started trying setup today.  I'm going to run on the assumption that this is more of a factor of the fact I'm having to rely on TMo/TNX now than Sprint SIM/primary due to the TMo SIM requirement, but I can't say much positive about mobile signal comparatively while at home here.  With my S21, while I never got 5G much if at all in my basement (we're near Italian Lake area of Harrisburg now), I would always have at least some kind of consistent LTE signal on varying bands still.  On the S22, and unless I stay on Wi-Fi calling (which registers me as on TMo Wi-FI Calling Network), I pretty much ether am connecting to Sprint B26/LTE 800 nearby, or zilch/nada otherwise.  In fact, I couldn't confirm the thing was actually activated and working properly for mobile until I went outside finally (after a lengthy 2-tier call into Sprint care). 

I should have guessed/known better I suppose, but I was trying to be optimistic.  I was going off my experience with the S21 and just assumed I could still activate properly and have it register, but with a TMo SIM/TNX at least where I live now, its a lessened experience without WiFi being involved compared to the S21 still on a Sprint SIM.

That said, the phone itself I'm very happy with otherwise thus far.   Even with almost every app I had loaded previously re-loaded on it and all my pics/files/texts/etc migrated over, the thing is very noticeably faster than my S21 - *especially* bootup time.  This thing boots up to lock screen/home screen and usability in about 10-15 seconds if that so far at least.  Easily between 3-4 (though leaning closer to 3) times faster than my S21 does.

Tracking finally updated here and out for delivery today, though I have to leave around 5:30 so may not get it today if they don't try to deliver before then.  I also still have to wait for the TMo SIM packet to get here.

I bought mine through Samsung yes.  And I'm guessing now (or hoping anyway) I'll get mine tomorrow instead, there's a line on the FedEx page which says "Per shipper instructions, package will not be delivered until the scheduled delivery date." - and in the 'Shipment Facts' tab on FedEx's website it shows "Standard Transit 2/23/22 before 8:00pm" even though FedEx also reflects an updated delivery date with today/22nd on it.

I have no idea what's going on with mine...the FedEx tracking shows no sign of anything since Sunday - it does still show supposed delivery by 8pm tonight but there's no sign of local arrival at the FedEx hub yet.

If anyone else got the Unlocked version of whichever tier, please state whether you were already on/using a TMo SIM on your prior phone or not?  I'm still not yet sure what I need to do...went into chat with another Sprint rep and they're claiming eSIM will work when elsewhere that's being stated on Reddit (I saw it before Pedro's post above) that's clearly not the case.  

I'm going ahead and asking them to send me a physical TMo SIM proactively regardless since I'm guessing the Sprint SIM from my S21 won't work....I already read also from the same corp employee referenced above that everything past 6/30/21 requires a TMo SIM to work.

Just got a Samsung text stating my S22 Plus is shipped - Samsung account shows the 24th but actual FedEx tracking shows the 22nd.
