Wow that's some battery usage!
**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S22 Family Thread ****
- Thread starter n30_mkii
- Start date
Just realised I made a slight mistake, had my Pixel 6 pro next to the galaxy , both square and picked up the wrong phone
Both rectangles with square edges with similar case, saw the battery usage, just realised... I use Nova launcher so they look identical .
What a spoon I am
I have been using chrome for sometime on my S21 without issue and prefer the sync between all my laptop and phone , is there a reason why you don't use it ?
I'm assuming the bundled apps are similar to those on the S20, if so then these are what I disabled (didn't bother with ADB as the apps are so small and I CBA ADBing after each monthly update etc):
Not really that much bloat on Samsung phones these days. I am a social media user though so keep FB etc and yeah do watch Netflix and stuff!

Just got back from the DPD delivery point and I also have received two phones from EE. Currently on hold with them to find out what one I should actually be using.

Haha.
On a more serious Note (pun intended) there seem to be a lot of people with lag issues and high battery drain over on XDA forums.
How are you guys finding the phone for smoothness?
Could just be random luck but there do seem to be a few reports.
All fine here, it was lagging earlier because I was updating tons of apps, Google Photos took hours to "prepare gallery", 15k Messages being restored, and I can't imagine what else was happening at the same time.
If I get a 25W charger will I need a special lead for that, or will the one that came with the phone be ok?
I'm looking at one of these: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09NZYXN2K. I don't suppose anyone here has one?

Not massively impressed with mine so far. Pixel 6 Pro just seems much smoother. And the fingerprint sensor seems better on the 6 Pro! Will be sending it back if things don't somehow improve.
Could the lag not be because the OS is training and building up all those caches etc still, especially if you've just restored a mass of apps and folders etc. Whatsapp image directly for example will take an ice age for many people as it contains tens of thousands of media typically.
Bundled cable would be fine for sure. That linked charger is PD PPS so should be fine for "Super Fast Charging" with the cable that comes with the phone.
I will wait a few more days I think and see what the general consensus is after everything has settled and Android has learned usage habits etc for people.

This isn't cache lag. This is screen locks of for seconds at a time. Each and every time.
I have 2 Ultras here. I'll have to try the other tomorrow. Just looked into the other handset and it's fine. I had some major lag on initial setup too and thought nothing of it.
It'll need a factory reset to be sure. Good job Samsung.

I ordered from them on 11/02 and nothing. Yet.
Then again, it's CPW, they'll likely take my money and run along with the 2 phones I've sent them for trade in bonuses.
