Poor Reception from wifi and mobile network too .. I used to get 45 mbps from the same room and from same chair sitting position with my oneplus 7 pro .. now I hardly get 1 or 2 mb .. some times even disconnect ..
I never faced this issue while I was on oneplus 7 pro for 3 years on same router and network ..
I bought my moms iqoo z3 phone for testing .. it even getting 45mbps but my s22 ultra only 2-3 mbps ..
expect this reception I am really happy with the phone .. its very productive <3
I can't change my phone plz let me know if you have any solutions .. I tried resetting etc none solved my issue
after positing regarding this on some fb group I came to know many s22 ultra users facing this issue .. Are you facing the same as well ?? Please let me know below
1) do you have a metal hands?
2) is your hands covered by golden powder?
3) whats is your case?
4) wanna share a wifi scanner app screenshot with us? we are not a mindreaders

I have problems with the mobile reception on my S22 Ultra on Vodafone UK.
I am trying to find out the correct firmware for my provider and to flash it without resetting my phone.
What router do you use, check its settings. Does mobile reception improve when you are outside?
You are using exynos right?
My wife's first S22 Ultra had horrible connection. Most times she couldn't receive or make any calls. That went on for about 2 months. Went back to Tmo and used the warranty and they shipped us another one. The new one works perfectly as it should have.
I would recommend that if you are having connection issues, contact the carrier/customer service and use the warranty,should be a year. In my wife's situation, the connection issue was the beginning of the phone not working at all. Samsung knows about their hardware issue and hasn't addressed it properly. Its a hardware issue
I have not had a issue with reception once since getting this phone from Samsung.. It is on T-Mobile. No issues with my home router either.

I had S22U half year and from few months I was problems with connection, don't recive messages or messages with trying calls for me in t-mobile Poland.
I put sim card to fold 2 and little smaller but again similar problems, change sim card and again.
Then I change my carrier operator and from 2 months everything works perfect with fold 2.
Now my s22U have girlfriend and too everything works good with her carrier (of course no t-mobile)
In my case issues were with t-mobile. I see a lot opinions who have connection issues have t-mobile and does not matter country.

US unlocked on TMobile here. I have fantastic reception both on wifi and network.
If you're genuinely getting 1/10th of the speed on your S22U on the same network as other phones, then that sounds like a hardware issue and a warranty replacement.

Then you need to swap the device. If you had Problems with another Smartphone change your carrier. My snapdragon has very good reception. My exynos has weak singal but its okay use it only as Backup phone

This happened very often, when mobile signal is weak the phone will stuck in HDPSA (H/H+) with no internet and finally lose its entire signal, even later moved to a better signal area. I have missed a lot phone calls / messages when this happens, have 3 different brand new Note 20 ultra replaced by warranty all have this problem. Can confirm this is not network or SIM card related as when swap the SIM back to Note 10 plus it is just working fine as it should be (3 days while waiting for replacement using the same SIM living in the same area). Put the phone into flight mode and turn it back can solve the problem however the difficult thing is you won't know when this will happen and for the price tag, it seems it should be this kind of problem with it.
This issue seems also with S20 release too, for years the issue is still there, anyone have the same issue or can help?

Hi Thanks for the recommendation so dose that mean to use this tool to manually force the phone to stay on a certain type of band? (eg not using HSDPA?) . I was thinking this would be fully automatic as it is a basic function of a mobile phone
I've installed and will give it a try next time the signal is lost.

Yes you can force the phone to use a certain band, and yes the phone should be doing this automatically but you can use this as a workaround and maybe a future update will solve the problem for you
As per title, i'm only getting 2 out of 5 bars for carrier signal. I live in an urban area so cell reception is not an issue. Previous phone had no issues whatsoever.
Note is using an esim, would this affect anything?
Info: Carrier is Optus (Aus)
It shouldn't but perhaps also try a physical sim as a process of elimination.
What's your signal like away from home as it could be a mast issue.
Also try resetting your network connection in settings.
A Samsung Experience Store or Samsung Service Centre can take a look.

Haven't tried your first 2 suggestions but will do it soon.
Have reset network connection, no change.
No Samsung centre/store where I live unfortunately.
Are you measuring the bars on the status bar as your guide , if so then it's flawed method. Signal strength is measured in -dbm . Use an app like Network signal info lite to compare the actual figures with the past devices.
I had to go to Verizon and get a new sim card after the 5G update no more issues with my signal.
Its a normal thing for Samsung's. They've had weaker signals compared to other phones since the note 9. I have all the note variants and I have 4 lines I use with one plus, sony and note 10+ and n20u, samsung easily has the worst signal.
I've upgraded from note 9 to the note 20 ultra 5g
Noticed the 2 signal bars myself on the note 20
Were as my note 9 was always full bars everywhere I went i would get a good reception esp for the net it never let me down
im on three uk
Over the past few days on my note 20.. Internet has been ****e and slow.
I've tried changing from 5g to 4g still same
Been on phone to three had a replacement sim activated.. still same ...maybe give it a day to settle down..
My dbm are - 112 I'm a rural area near Manchester...
Reading around about these readings that's pretty naff.. have I got this wrong the lower dbm supposed be better than a higher reading?
For those wondering.. settings> about phone>status> sim card status.....
I've 2 more days before I have the 14 days cancel return..
I'm just wondering if the signal bars a myth only being 2
Am I over looking things ?
Other than the signal I have no issues love this phone ..
Any input will be taken on board and appreciated
Thanks for looking and helping

My dBm would also hit the lows of -114dbm as well at my place of residence. Both the snapdragon and exynos models I’ve owned. The Oneplus 8 pro showed on average 6dBm gain .
Well it appears my phone is faulty had nothing but issues today and it happened whilst on to my provider three UK..
Onkybhd it 2 weeks tried making me taking it to Samsung.. he'll noo ..I know they'll say nowt wrong with ot as per usual
. Three re sending me a replacement handset tomorrow.. if that's ****e as well.
Looks like I shall have to look else were always had sammy..
Had anyone got any good advice what I should get next best / alternative to a note 20..
I'm.not that familiar with other bands as I've always been faithful with Samsung..

I already mentioned it. Oneplus 8 Pro model IN2023 since you're in the UK, else you'll have network incompatibilities.
Hi all hope we're safe and well
Just a quick update
New phone received yesterday
So far so good Signal working perfect now
Thanks for input limey
Looked at the one plus looks a decent piece of kit
May go down that road after I've finished with this note 2 years time haha

Hi. Does anyone in the UK find that they are having issues with keep signal? So far I've been a few places where my Note 9 would have great signal but the flip is either patchy or just disconnected from signal altogether. I'm on Three but haven't tried it with any other network. My Note 9 was also on Three too.
O2 UK poor signal as well...
@Barmenchik
That was the next service I was going to try. Hopefully when Samsung does an update it will fix it.
I'm with EE (Everything Expensive) and cannot get a signal when I'm in my local curry house, never had this happen before with all my other phones hmm
I would tend to agree, I'm on Three and at times I have a really low signal in areas where it should be strong
Friends who have time, create a theme in Samsung Members! And share the link, and we will all go there and write ...

I've just moved to the UK and I found it rather weird that when I'm on EE I see 2 bars of reception max, pretty often only 1 bar. But then I had nothing to compare it to as it's the first time I'm using a SIM card in the UK...
My reception is still very patchy. Only time it is consistent is when I'm at home, but it does use wi-fi calling a lot.

Yes I noticed this from day one, contacted samsung and they said send for repair.....but I feel its more a software thing. Although the signal gets worse when it's flipped too. Someone on Samsung members forum said they thought it was a smaller than normal antenna and they sent it back!
I'm hoping that when it gets updated to Android 12 it will be better.
Hello,
i had small software update August 29,
Galaxy S22 Ultra (SM-S908B),
since then i keep loosing mobile data and wifi signal.
I got new Sim card and I did factory reset, but issues are still here. Turning off/on airplane mode or restarting the phone doesn't help. I have normal data like 5 min and then it just freeze all signal reception . I live in the city with great signal coverage. What should I do?
But what's the coverage like where you live? Does it get better as you move around? If the coverage is good then contact Samsung support so they can maybe check the phone further

Coverage is great here. I took out my sim card today and was only connected to wifi, connection is better.
With inserted sim both wifi and mobile data reception is awful.
I was thinking to switch to eSim..
I recommend that you contact Samsung support as your phone is under warranty for 1 year. They are very good at diagnosing problems.
Hi, you mean 5G coverage? I've read that 5G antenna failure is known to happen in this phone, so you should bring the phone to Samsung so they can replace it, specially if you are under warranty. I don't see why you see a relation between the SIM and the coverage, probably it has more to do with the status of the antenna.
The problem is with both data connection, mobile and wifi.. I tried everything coz I want to avoid sending my new phone to service..

Samsung has an 800 support number you can contact 1st and they will try and diagnose your issue before sending it in. I've found they are pretty good at diagnosing issues over the phone.

Well I notice that if I take out Sim card from my phone that wifi has weak but stable connection.. With inserted sim card both wifi and mobile data connection are super weak and unstable. So basically I have this expensive with no possibility to use for normal calls
It's quite the same problem for me actually on my S908B which is on the latest September update (AVI3)
I live in a quite big city in France and my signal is quite bad, like 1 or 2 signal bars on 4G+ (i desactivate 5G as it drain too much the battery in my opinion).
Sometimes i feel like Wifi signal struggle as well at home... i don't know where this is coming from, but it's annoying me. I didn"t pay attention on when it's started to get bad signal, but it's been a while now i think
I live in Boston metro area with abundant LTE/5G coverage, but drive through two nearly dead zones, each of them lasts just a few seconds. My previous phone would not stop YouTube playback going through those areas. My Pixel 7 Pro loses connection for ~5 minutes completely and then reconnects via EDGE even though strong 5G is available. I have to toggle the airplane mode for it to connect to the correct network.
I'm on Mint/T-Mobile and this has been happening every day. Is it a software bug or is my Pixel defective? Thanks for any ideas, I still have a week to decide if I should return it
I used to have this same exact issue with my pixel 6 pro and wouldn't be fixed no matter what I did. I traded it in for my p7p and haven't had that issue since. You should replace it while you can and hopefully it won't happen again
I have the same problem. Whenever there's a slight interruption of service the Pixel can't reconnect for minutes. I have to enable and disable airplane mode a couple times.
Bonus, if I just leave it it disconnects from the network randomly. I miss A LOT of calls. And people tell me that the calls take a long time to connect either way.
I'll be returning it if it doesn't get an update in a week or so.

I don't know if this will help, but...
I believe EDGE uses 2G. Maybe turn off "Allow 2G" in Settings>Network & internet>Sims>Allow 2G. Hopefully this will stop it from connecting to EDGE and instead connect back to your strong 5G or LTE.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
It still takes a long time before it connects to the 2G network and all I see is an exclamation mark next to zero bars.
If you have taken the .031 update, which fixed that issue for me, then it's possible you may have a defective unit. I have had zero issues with signal handoff and I'm even taxing the modem even more by running dual SIM in DSDS mode. I have been incredibly happy with this device's reception. I would even say it's been better than my OnePlus 9 with the X60 modem as 5G standby drained my battery super fast, about 1.6%/hr in a high signal area, compared to half that on my 7 Pro with dual SIM active.
The system is up to date. Not sure what else I can do. I'm not interested in installing unstable nightly updates.

I got my phone on release day and there was an update waiting to go to TD1A.220804.031. Until I took that update I was seeing that ! every 10 minutes or so. It was pretty bad. Haven't seen it since unless I'm switching my SIMs around.

Oh I'm on the beta as Android Auto wouldn't work on that one. It got better after I reset Carrier Services but it still has issues.
I'm losing calls, they just don't connect, even on 4G LTE with full bars. A friend has the same thing. These things are not ok.

I'm on the beta as well and still having no connectivity problems so I guess I should consider myself lucky. The worst I have is some outsized drain when I have a weak signal but it's still not terrible (about 2.2%/hr in my partner's basement).

This issue happens to me from time to time too. Weird but mine shipped with .031 (picked up on 10/21 at best buy). But I guess it was worse before that.
Were you able to fix this? I have the same issue, the phone is just unusable. Such a shame as I really like the device...
I came from a OnePlus 8 Pro (what a great phone BTW), and found the Pixel 6 Pro had worse connectivity. The Pixel 7 Pro seems to have fixed all that and some bluetooth issues I was having with certain headsets on the Pixel 6 Pro.
One trick on any modern 5G phone -- if you are having issues -- the switching between 5G, 5G UC, and LTE can be disruptive. If this is constantly happening just switch it to LTE, chances are you'll get better reception and at the same or even faster speeds.
For example, a Six Flags a few weeks ago, 5G was constant problems while forcing LTE worked fine 100% of the time.
I've tried switching off 5g, switching off 2g, switched off adaptive connectivity...no results, still useless

How about your APN settings? Have you tried a network reset? If none of those things helps you may have a defective phone! It can happen with any brand.

Yes, tried resetting the APN as well, also swapped esim and sim to another phone and works flawlessly...it may be a defective unit but there are many users complaining so there has to be a lot of defective units...

Well, I am not using an esim with a psim. Only a psim here and running on Mint (T-Mobile) and I have zero issues. Either some setting, or conflicting network settings between the two sims...OR a defective phone is your issue. I would bet dimes-to-dollars that it is NOT the phone. YMMV
Hmm happy to see i am not alone...... I have already post on this forum for this same pb.
I am full 4G....i try to make a call, instantly when i push call button, lose connection....must wait and maybe 4G and more in EDGE.
When i am in 4G impossible to call or receive....
So i have a phone with impossible to call or receive.......
SO NICE ????
For me, i am sure is the last F/W (31) who suck.
Why ?
Because, my phone work, after upate (31) just after reboot must wait 7 min to have network...never before....
SO last week end, i will downgrade to first F/W (A2)
Problem is solved for me.
I have locked all automatic update in developper menu.
Sometimes i have notification for update, but i don't care..........
Incredible but work for me, i think you must try...i don't see another solution for this ****ing problem
I had use the official tool : https://flash.android.com/
Sounds like a work around, how do you downgrade?
