In February 2022, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S22 series smartphones. These premium Galaxy devices feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (widely) or Exynos 2200 (Europe) chipsets. In the software department, the lineup is running Android 13 (One UI 5.0), up from pre-installed Android 12 (One UI 4.1).

On February 1st, the company unveiled the Galaxy S23 series, which runs Android 13-based One UI 5.1 out of the box. Starting February 13, Samsung has begun to release the S23 lineup’s exclusive One UI 5.1 software with its older flagship devices including the S22 series.

Features apart, the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and S22 Ultra users are facing different kinds of issues (via PiunikaWeb) with their smartphones such as battery drain, heating and low power efficiency. Users believe that the situation was better before December 2022 patch, which got worse with January 2023 patch.

Among consumers, there are discussions that the battery drain and heating issues are generated on models due to chipset maker differences as well as Samsung Foundry. The Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processors are manufactured by Samsung Foundry.

Due to inefficient processes, the system on the chip gets affected by battery consumption issues due to thermal management. Since consumers in some countries such as India are quite satisfied with their Galaxy S22 phone’s battery, the issue is mainly reported spotted on Exynos models.

Samsung S22 S21 One UI 5.1

During Exynos 2200’s internal testing, Samsung faced critical thermal throttling due to the chipset’s inefficiency and additionally powerful GPU, which forced it to reduce clock speed by 0.61Ghz. To bring the world’s most powerful GPU, Samsung partnered with AMD and used Xclipse GPU in the Exynos 2200.

Due to Exynos’ heating and Foundry’s production efficiency issues, Samsung turned to Qualcomm and decided to ditch its self-developed SoC from the Galaxy S lineup. This year, the Galaxy S23 series uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset manufactured by TSMC, worldwide.

We hope Samsung will soon fix battery draining and heating issues on the Galaxy S22 devices through a firmware update. Since hardware issues can’t be fixed with even hundreds of firmware updates, they could be reduced or optimized with code changes.

Updated on March 15

Due to bad battery life, some Galaxy S22 Ultra users are wondering to upgrade to the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is setting new records in efficiency. Meanwhile, it’s bad to hear that the company has not yet completely fixed the battery draining issue on the S22 series.

Are my apps that power hungry ? To where I can’t even get 3 hours of SOT, without having to charge. ABSOLUTELY love the phone but considering upgrading to s23 ultra just because of the battery upgrade. Which I can’t even say it’s worth paying the extra 5-600 dollars for that. from S22Ultra

Feb. 7

Concerns like abnormal battery drain and low power efficiency continue to emerge (1, 2, 3, 4) on the Galaxy S22 series devices. The company has recently pushed the February patch for select Galaxy models, and we hope, it could fix the battery and heating problems.

I have had the Galaxy S22 (Exynos) for almost a year now and my experience has not been completely satisfactory The battery gives me between 2-3 hours of SOT, and the device’s performance has been quite poor. There are frequent lags, the phone gets very hot, and if l’m playing a game (not a heavy game, for example Brawl Stars) while listening to music with the Galaxy Buds Pro, the music cuts out and the experience ends up being very bad. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you think that if a go to the technical service they can give me a solution?

 

Feb. 5

Two more Galaxy S22 smartphone users reported having battery drain and overheating issues. According to the first affected user, their S22 heats up in general usage (such as WhatsApp, Twitter), however, the device is already delivering bad battery efficiency.

Second user said that they have fully charged the smartphone and the battery drained by 13% without any usage in the meantime. The user speculates that the Always on Display feature is eating battery heavily, however, there seems a software issue.

Jan. 27

A Galaxy S22 Ultra user claimed that after restricting background activities of unused apps, the battery consumption is greatly reduced. As per the user, the battery consumption before restricting activities was 10% per hour, which is now 2% per hour. You can also try it as a temporary fix.

Jan. 25

Samsung provides you with tips that will show you how to get the best out of your battery in everyday usage and how to look after your battery. The tips are as follows:

Samsung is now expanding the March 2023 security update to carrier-unlocked Galaxy S22 series in the US. Exynos chipset-powered international variants have already started to get the latest security patch.

Follow our socials → Google News, Telegram, Twitter, Facebook

According to the info, Samsung’s March 2023 security update is now available for download on carrier-unlocked Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra. Verizon, T-Mobile & AT&T consumers can install the latest security patch to get enhanced system performance on their devices.

Since Samsung has recently released a feature-rich One UI 5.1 update to the Galaxy devices, the March patch has no new features or major improvements. However, we recommend you not skip installing this patch update as it’s crucial for your privacy and system reliability.

How to update

On your Samsung phone, navigate toward system Settings and hit the Software update tab. Once done, tap the Download and install button and allow your Galaxy device to fetch new firmware on Samsung’s server. Follow the on-screen instructions and tap “Install now” to begin the procedure.

  • Version numbers:
    • Galaxy S22 – S901U1UES2CWB7
    • S22 Plus – S906U1UES2CWB7
    • S22 Ultra – S908U1UES2CWB7

Samsung One UI 5.1 Home Screen Widgets

Next in One UI:

Shortly after distributing the One UI 5.1 firmware, Samsung started testing the One UI 5.1.1 version on Galaxy devices. While the next stable One UI version will be based on Android 13, regular Galaxy phones won’t get access to it due to large screen form factor limitation.

One UI 6.0 will arrive later this year, and we believe that the Android 14 Beta would go live for select Samsung devices by August 2023. The Galaxy S23 series will be the first beneficiary of this new software, while the Galaxy S22 is also eligible for early treatment.

Samsung is expanding the March 2023 security update to the Galaxy S22 series in more and more markets, globally. Earlier, the company rolled out the One UI 5.1 to Galaxy S22, which didn’t include a fix or improvement for the battery-draining problem, but it’s not the same case in March 2023.

Due to so-called (Exynos, Samsung Foundry) chipset and printing process concerns, select Galaxy S22 units have problems like inefficient battery life and abnormal drain. Users continuously report bad battery performance and overheating issues on their Galaxy S22 (vanilla, Plus, and Ultra).

Everything was fine prior to the December 2022 security patch, which incredibly generated battery life complaints. Samsung tried to fix the problems with January and February firmware updates, but it didn’t happen at all. Consumers hoped, One UI 5.1 will have some enhancements, but, the battery drain remained unfixed.

“5.1 has been optimized.. 29 hours screen off time, never got anywhere near that before & I’ve had this phone since launch” – Source

After installing the March 2023 security patch, some consumers reported that their Galaxy S22 smartphone’s battery efficiency is currently in its best state. Some said that they are having great battery life, which is at its best since the launch.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

“Agreed. Had a full day yesterday and didn’t charge my phone once. Didn’t have power saving on for any of it, had auto brightness on, limited at 85% charge. Always On Display on. Not a single problem. OneUI 5.1 has made this phone like new.” – Source

One UI 5.1 included a lot of under-the-hood improvements for Galaxy devices. Since it was a major One UI upgrade, the software system requires some time to get optimized with the hardware, native functions and installed applications.

“Thank you! I have other devices, but as I clearly said I never got screen off/idle time like this before, which is crazy. 2 weeks ago the phone wasn’t making it a whole day (7 am-midnight) now it got 29 hours on idle which is crazy.” – Source

Consumers didn’t praise One UI 5.1’s battery life, but positive feedback started to emerge after Samsung’s March 2023 firmware update. There are two factors; Samsung brought improvements to battery and One UI got optimized with time and new firmware.

“i think the S22U battery gotten better aftet some update or some stuff. charged it this morning at around 30%. and checked the usage, realise it got like 5:30 Screen on time (gaming) and 18 hrs screen off time. seems to be better when i first got it and was actively playing around with battery management stuff. screenshot below, not sure why the post wont let me upload screenshot.” Source

One UI 5.1 update brought a lot of new features and improvements while Samsung now begins rolling out March 2023 security update to the Galaxy S22 series’ carrier-unlocked models. This 380MB update package has some critical bug fixes, so you shouldn’t skip installing the firmware.

According to the information, Samsung Galaxy S22 March 2023 security update is now available for carrier-unlocked models. Consumers can identify the latest release via PDA version numbers S908U1UES2CWB7, S906U1UES2CWB7, and S901U1UES2CWB7 for S22 Ultra, S22 Plus, and S22, respectively.

A few days ago, the South Korean tech giant published the March 2023 security patch details. The new software comes with Google patches that are mentioned in the Android security bulletin. Below, you can have a quick overview of which leveled CVEs are fixed with the March patch.

  • Critical – 5
  • High – 35
  • Moderate – 0
  • Already fixed – 4

Furthermore, the changelog shows that the device stability is being improved along with some regular bug fixes. The OTA might add some new features as well as enhance system functions so you can have a better user experience. Last but not least, the new firmware also promises refined system performance.

Ahead of carrier-unlocked models, the company released the March patch for European Galaxy S22 units powered by Exynos processor. We hope Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and other carriers would soon deliver the latest security firmware to their branded Samsung models.
