Great news!I've just had an email this morning from Samsung trade in to say the transaction is now complete. I posted my old phone on the 19th March.
I've claimed the buds (they arrived and have been sold on) and the Disney sub.
All done and dusted.

Thanks. B&O do a 30 day free trial and I'm tempted. However it's just too pricey for something I could lose so easily.

Just noticed there is a new update, only a minor fix by looks of things, as the file size is only 23MB.

really beginning to hate this phone, useless reception and takes numerous attempts to send texts. somehow I wish i'd kept my note20ultra, flawless and solid performer.

Strange - I don't have any of those issues at all - did you have an early device? Maybe worth seeing if you can get a replacement.
I'm really not seeing any issues at all (touch wood)
Overall everything seems fine, battery life is better than my Note 20 ultra, for instance today I've used 8% battery between 7am and 4pm of which most is phone calls but still my Note 20 would have used probably 15-20% by now.
The phone seems smooth and snappy, no overheating or reboots, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, it seems like a silicone lottery this time around.

I considered it, but they told me that there could be a considerable wait for a replacement, and they'd want my S22 Ultra back in the meantime.
With the issues I've seen people experience with Samsung customer service I didn't want to take the risk, and opted for a refund with a view on perhaps purchasing another in a couple months perhaps.
Least I got the Buds Pro and Disney Plus

For me, this upgrade has been the smoothest ever. I have encountered one issue where after a while, the phone lost connection and I had to reboot, this was on the first and early firmware release. Compare that to the S20U release and it was a couple of months before I could even make a stable phone call without it dropping out. I think as it is such a small update to older models, they have already got good software. I am quite pleased with mine and do remember to use the pen and use to write lists. I have saved much paper since getting this. I might have mentioned this before but cba to check my history lol.

I've only just noticed with the Samsung Clock app you can't set multiple timers at the same time. 
How stupid.
How stupid.

Having owned the phone a few weeks now, I have to say the camera (zoom in particular) is amazing.
Just a heads up, Amazon have some official Samsung cases (Leather, LCD cover case) for £12.50

Nice find, I have the light grey leather cover and it's really nice to hold in the hand, not much protection though

nice find, just ordered grey led and grey leather

Weather's nice here today so decided to take the DJI Mini 2 out for a quick flight. Be warned though, there are issues using it with the s22 ultra. Purely DJI's fault, they need to pull their finger out.

Had the s22u a few weeks now and apart from one hiccup where the phone froze then restarted upon opening the camera, it's been pretty flawless. Definitely no lag and stuttering, I'd factory reset and start again if I were you.
Will try that.
Yes I have noticed this, it's especially bad in Twitter I have found. I have tried a reset and it made no difference for me.
