You should backup your data and reset your phone.
Who/where did you get the phone from?

Azie version? I haven't heard of that one. Where did you buy it?
System usage is typically 50GB. Did you buy it new? Is it still under warranty? Have you performed a Factory Reset? The S22 has had a lot of issues but this one is a first.

I dont think your phone is s22 ultra, perhaps its note10 +, where did you buy it anyway?
N9750ZSU1ASGS, bootloader v1? Android 9? I was wondering how much this phone cost you.
Those rounded display corners ain't right
Seems like you bought a clone. Looks like a fake phone.
It´s a very bad Chinese clone... 1000% it´s a fake s22ultra
Ah it's a total rip off, sorry, did you pay much for it;? Find the c**t and get your money back ASAP

Afraid it's true, you bought a replica from China. Too many red flags, you should have done some research. First thing I noticed was the chipset. The Snapdragon 865 was for the S20 Series, not the S22. The good news is you're not out much because those clones are very cheap.
This was exactly what i was afraid of...so i'm just ripped off..cost me 900 euros ...
let this be a warning to others... my money gone and a crappy phone..
I've learned my lessen...painful though.
of course I don;t have an address,just a phone number I called ..no response ! just lit up with open eyes I had picked up de phone at his w2ork (so it seemed so ) it was packaged in an original looking sealed box... I just have to learn to live with it.
scammers are always there an overall that turns out but again this is bad for my ego..
thanks for the response and sorry for my poor englis...

It's a bit late to help in your situation but reputable marketplaces and payment platforms offer protections from fraud. eBay, Amazon and PayPal come to mind. Since you picked up the device at the seller's workplace it suggests the seller lives in your area A phone number can usually be traced by local law enforcement if they're willing to help. If I was out €100 I would likely chalk it up to experience but for €900 I'd double down to corner the thief. Good luck!

Price is coming down.... I'm getting tempted
Maybe there's a reason for? ;-) I was going to get one for myself, but missunderstanding with wireless signal in landscape mode have changed my mind, since I game a lot.

Yes, the price is coming down because of the dual cores coming out, and other Samsung 1.2 or 1.4Ghz single cores etc. The Desire S is fast enough for me though!

It looks like you have missed it, sorry It was definitely that price this morning... and it was from Amazon, not a marketplace seller. I still think some other good deals will come along soon. Just wait for some more dual core phones to come out... ;-)

Check out this deal. Could be the cheapest way to get the phone:

I went for 18 months at £18.50 - if the £90 quidco tracks that would mean the phone would cost me £243. I know that would be on a low useage contract but even if you never used the contract, the phone would still be cheaper than anywhere else.

after topcashback it comes to about £240, and you can bring the contract down to £10.50 a month from 13.50 which makes it about 160 after cashback, i got it, dont plan on using the sim card, works out well cheaper than buying the phone, only on offer for saturday and possibly sunday so snap it up quickly

nice lucky you
is there any o2 bloatware on it? any o2 apps, themes, bootscreens?
Funnily enough mine doesnt have anything O2!
No bootscreens, no apps, themes or even screen savers lol!
Firmware is:
1.28.401.1 with 2.1 Sense and 2.3.3 GB.
Oh and it also came with a SanDisk SD card rather than the usual Samsung
The chap at the store did say it was a new batch that came in today so i think it may have generic firmware.
Think i got lucky!!
When i get some time i may try another sim.

maybe when you get future updates, you might get the o2 crapware back...
pls try another sim to see if it's unlocked
Just checked browser and its set to www.google.com
Ive switched the updates off for now incase they close the GB exploit
And guess what!!
ITS SIM FREE Whooooohooooo!
Good job you asked me to check! Worth much more!
Im sooo happy!
If you need any numbers from the box i can provide them for you to "hopefully" increase your chances of a simfree generic handset.
I read this ad like 6 times and I can't seem to find the BS flag anywhere. I decided to just order it and see, if it's not legit I'll just send it back. If this is real, it's a steal!

For that price, I ordered 2 of them!
Hope they are good!
C'mon guys, these are shipping from China, from a low count seller.
DUH.
These are fake cards.
It's common practice.
Cancel your bids and stay AWAY from this auction.

Ebay is full of fake SD cards. The card will probably show as being 64GB but it surely isn't.
Advice: don't use it at all. If stubborn: don't use it to store anything remotely important. You will lose data, again without any doubt.
I remember when the 32gb were big back in the day. I ordered one from China on Ebay and I thought it was a steal. I received the item, worked for 2 days and bam! No more 32gb! It instantly became 800kb some how...

It's no 64GB card. A card with genuinely that capacity can't be bought anywhere for that price. ALL those cards are fake. All of them, 100%.
But, if you're happy with it, great. No biggie.
Verify the authenticity of the card via Sandisk's Website
I bought mine at 2,300Philippine Pesos or 51.61US$ from a 3rd Party seller, and I've contacted a Rep via Online Chat from Sandisk itself, and after supplying them with the information regarding my Sandisk Ulta 64Gb, they confirmed it via the photos and the serial number of the card that I provided that it is indeed authentic. They even took the trouble or registering it and I now have a Lifetime Warranty for that Card!
Things to consider all the sandisk drives are made in china, also are these the ones that everyone was having issues with?? Quick way to pawn them off?? Honestly I would not touch these.. Despite the fact I could use a 64gb drive..
I bought an S8+ from online ended up getting incorrect phone. It has following issues with current software

4. Navigation settings bar won't work
5. No other settings available
6. Currently it is stocked with T-mobile software and its not getting updates from T-mobile

Thank you . I am confused by storage total space shows as "128GB" and Phone storage shows as <4GB
They use an app to trick the phone into showing more storage than it has. I had one from Thailand that said 64gb internal storage but after a factory reset the story was VERY different.
It's like the sd cards you can get that are supposedly more than what they really are.
Usually once you exceed the storage limit you loose data or corrupt everything.
You have a novelty toy, nothing more....
I really hope yuou didn't pay $50USD If you paid via Paypal, bite the bullet , put in a for this (and even that seems a bit high for what your showing)as you have been ripped off BIUG time if you paid any more...
If you used Paypal, put in a dispute and send the item back to get your money back. The dispute is the item is a fake. You didn't get what you paid for...

Just some.advice, cause that listing looks shady as sh1t...if you're going to buy off Craigslist have the seller meet you at T-Mobile so they can verify its a genuine T-Mo device. If they're not willing to do that, then run, run, run from that listing.
This is low quality fake S8+, you won't able to install Samsung firmware and it will only break it if you do so.
For price of $350, definitely impossible is a real one.
Hi everyone. I'm thinking on buying this phone, or maybe the Moto G8 Power. Is the Fusion' BL unlockeable? The version is xt2073-2.
Another question. My biggest doubt is about the display resolution againts G8 Power. Is 720x1600 from fusion good enough for reading?
Any advise?
Thanks a lot.

Yes please, come back and tell us how your case ends. The guy from Fravega said I have ten days to test the phone. After that, he said I have one year warranty from motorola. I don't know hoy to contact them in case I need. It seems I'm gonna wait a long time and read a lot before I try to touch the BL. Good luck.

went directly to one of the adresses they offer on their site https://www.motorola.com.ar/servicio-tecnico, as i said, they were swift and straightforward with the device

Finally Xiaomi 12S Ultra Arrived.
To my surprise I noticed a quite a few fingerprints on the camera. Anyway, maybe it was a pre purchase inspection I tought.
The I noticed some dirt inside the speakers... hmm I this a used phone?
Anyway I proceeded to set it up and see what all the fuss is about with the camera.
Going troughs initial set up steps, I get a message. " This phone was previously factory reset" Please use your Mi account or Gmail account associated with this device to unlock it!!
So basically TRADINGSHENZHEN set an expesive and used piece of worthless brick!
Currently awaiting their reply.. I honestly expected more then this crowed, but really Chinese are just not trustworthy.. Be carefull out there!!

No I didnt. Order a standard CN rom
See the condition.Also it contains a blue screen cover and the outer clear case has been used and greasy
Not normal, surely a phone that has been returned.
And I just powered the phone in fastboot and TWRP is already installed>

TWRP version 2022/08/12
Yet this company provides and is well rated, nothing to do with Ali.
Surely a mistake on their part.
Is there even a way to unlock the phone if associated with a different google account?

Don't bother with that, send it back.
Maybe this phone has a problem, if you keep it will be your problem, don't bother.
I had exactly the same thing when I bought the thing in Singapore. But somehow I managed to log into my gmail account and set it up.
There were still issues though, unable to sideload apps. I couldn't take it back as I don't live in singapore though. So I did a new factory reset, and all was good. Got the 'setup your new phone screen' . And all was perfect afterwards. On CN rom.
I guess they login before they sell it to install play store....
Good luck!
if you ordered a version with eu flashed it will have twrp and the rom flashed.
You could ask for a sealed box when purchasing.
but they are usually careful with that.
i've been buying there for ages and never got any issues.

Thats the thing. I specifically ordered for CN version in the check box.
But this phone is 100% used.You can tell by all the dust inside the speaker vents and also the clear case is covered in greasy finger prints and wipe marks.
Still no reply from TradingShenzhen tho..
This company does not reply whatsoever! I will now start a credit card fraud proceedings and I will do a YT video and review them on trust pilot.Over €1000 is not small amount to be taken the piss!
Careful who you buy your phones off
TradingShenzhen responded: engineering error they check all their devices before dispatch.
Advised to do a fastboot FRP removal which erases the google account lock. This did the trick and the phone is now working!
But::!! This phone is a used phone.
Its had its firmware tampered with, despite the fact I ordered a new CN version and to top it off, the phone had already 37 Battery Cycle. This was a cleary used phone!

Im awaiting a reply. Since they have a fairly good reviews Im giving them a benefit of doubt. Generally speaking you only get to know how good of a company they are when they resolve your problems.

Someone tried to cover up a mistake he did by replacing a new one with his.
I wouldn't blame the entire company for this as "chinese are not thrustworthy" :| gotta be an amazing douche to say that.
I know some famous platform in China are selling at a much lower price than from Official Xiaomi. The reason is that they would resell the returned or fake product. Your case is quite common in China and there is a chance that you are not lucky and get a used phone if you buy from those stores online. In China you can always return the product within 7 days with no reason if you buy from those platforms so those phones that are returned might be resell again as a new one if they look new or not activated, or for whatever reason. My recommendation is to buy from Xiaomi authorized stores online in those platform. I got my 12su from JD platform and the price is the same as the one written in Xiaomi official website since it is equivalent to buying from xiaomi.com. I suspect that tradingshenzhen is one of those stores that sell at lower price in china while they sell at a much higher price in internatinal market.
