My 3rd day with my s22 ultra

[SRS76]

So far with this phone I'm very happy with it haven't had any major issues, only one little issue to do with software Widget not working way should that's not a deal breaker as can be fixed in due time.

I'm on software version S908BXXU1AVA7-O2U with January patch & network locked, I've fully tried very out on this phone and all is working way it should without any major problems that other people are having probably on a unlocked s22 ultra phone.

I prefer have phone locked to network so your network can fully test updates b4 sending it out to phone and be trouble free for you, even if got wait little bit longer for phone to get the update is better than getting fast update and it breaks phone more on you.

Hi @SRS76 

Are you sure your phone is locked to your mobile network.

Just to clarify are you using an Exynos Samsung s²² Ultra  ?

Are you in the Uk ?

In the UK Ofcom stopped phone's from being locked from December 2021.

Maybe we are the lucky one as I have not had any issue with my phone either and my widgets seem to be working

I usually go for unlocked phones as I travel sometime prefer to get a local sim to use whilst out of town and don't have to incur overseas fees

I didn't know that but that's great anyway

[SRS76]

Yeah I'm using Exynos samsung s22 Ultra and in UK, I tried my other sim in it from EE network and got no service from that simcard.

I've Checked through the software provider information on phone and says O2UK in it.

Must say I am suprised as phone's are meant to be unlocked.

Does O2 lock devices ? 

"And almost all new devices shipped after January 2019 are now unlocked"

No I have a O2 it isn't locked I am using my BT sim

How is everyone's battery life I know its still in learning mode but it drains very quick my S21u lasted longer

[SRS76]

Mine seems to be fine as know it's still in the learning mode since I got it on Friday fully charged it 100% been using it now 3days and it's down to 35% haven't charged it since Friday, seeing how long lasts for me.

The battery on mine is disappointing most of the times, but it's something I have to get used to and wait for future software updates which might cure the battery drain.

It doesn't last the entire day and the phone get very light use.
