Poor phone signal on S22 ultra

[DarealDD]

Hey folks, does anyone seem to know what could be the issue with my device?

It's quite frustrating having to deal with loss of signal each day. 

I have attempted the following approach:

1) Replaced the physical SIM for a new one.

2) Turn On and Off airplane mode (several times each day)

2) Reset the network (this was a temporary fix)

3) Cleared cache partition 

My Galaxy Watch 4 Active recently disconnected from the phone more than 5 times each day. 

I wiped the cache partition and reset the Watch. Though that did fix the Watch issue. 

It's really frustrating. Samsung what's up?

I had mine sent to Samsung service center for the same issue and they stated the fault doesn't exist with phone and it is the network.

See my earlier response Samsung is no help on page 4 I have all you need. If you need help responses to this as it cost nothing compared to a new phone and it is 100% their fault

I have done everything every possible way, even changed my sim, changed my network, factory reset, airplane mode, power off/on, reset network settings. Everything else what is available on all of the Internet forums my issue is not resolved. I get 1 signal for my sim or 2. No matter where I go. Only few places I get normal network. First I had Vodafone now I have EE network. I live in London, not even in remote area. Please fix the issue. Its been monthssss

This was super helpful. Thinking about biting the bullet and replacing the antenna piece for my S22 Ultra. Do you think it had to be both the USB C Charger Dock Board and the Signal Antenna?

I've honestly never opened up a smartphone for a DIY repair before, so wondering if this is a good way to start

Could you link the Youtube videos you found helpful? (ty again, your explanations on this forum have been super detailed)

Glad to hear! I am hoping to help others as we are all wrongfully placed into this situation through Samsungs Update.

1.From my research as I was studying this for 2 months with my phone only working under wifi it is best to change both the USB Charger Board and the Signal Antenna. I say this for a few reasons. First they are connected so if one fried there is a high chance the other could have some damage as well. Second opening your phone for the first time is scary to think about so if it open why not change them both. Third charging ports bend easy over the years so why not start fresh. Fourth your talking $30.58 to replace both, which compared to a new phone its a lot less. However I do recommend the back cover  ($13.88) as it is glass and can crack easy. I was able to keep my old one intake but still replaced as the new cover came with the gasket in place. The tools come with the USBC Dock. The tool kit I got just to have but not needed.

2. I take things apart all the time, but never my phone/small electronics  but after doing this I feel way more confident and comfortable doing it. Probably will change out the battery in a few years if that kicks the bed.

3.Youtube Videos (Note these are not mine credit to the people that made these. Also I got tips from each one  there was not one that was exactly what I did (Will explain below))

^Pretty Much what I did but replaced flex cable too

^(Great video very informative on taking apart ect. However, no need for the small antenna or the 5g antenna to be taken out in my case. The long flex that I linked to is the only antenna I had to remove. He also doesn't do the USBC dock but the comments lead me to think he might have another video out there with that repair. Also might be just me but I didn't use isopropyl alcohol as any liquids near the phone scare me but to each their own)

^The I got no time, I am a quick learner and just want my phone back as I am addicted to Tik Tok😂

All jokes aside these videos were great and super helpful props to those who took the time to make them.
