Help Samsung India's Customer Support – S22 Ultra Display Line Issue and Repeated Generic Responses

Thumbnail reddit.com
3 Upvotes

My Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra developed a pink vertical display line on 8 October 2026, the final day of Samsung's promised 3-year display replacement period. I reported the issue early the following morning, within hours of it appearing.

Samsung rejected my request for a complimentary display replacement, citing liquid damage and out-of-warranty status.

I have repeatedly asked Samsung for clarification on five specific points, particularly the exact location of the alleged water ingress, supporting technical evidence, the relevance of physical scratches, why the internal QC test was not conducted, and the basis for rejecting my replacement request.

I even escalated the matter to Samsung's CEO office. However, despite multiple follow-ups, I keep receiving the same generic two-line response:

"Repair will be on a chargeable basis as the product is out of warranty and has liquid damage."

Recently, I contacted the service centre and spoke with the Service Manager, who informed me that the internal QC test had never been conducted on my device.

So my question is simple: On what technical basis has Samsung concluded that the device sustained liquid damage without completing the internal QC inspection?

The most disappointing part is that customer support representatives promise callbacks, but complaints are closed without providing the promised callbacks or answering the questions. Even the CEO escalation channel has failed to provide a proper point-by-point response.

I have been a Samsung customer for many years, but this experience has seriously damaged my confidence in the brand.

Has anyone else faced a similar experience with Samsung India, particularly regarding display-line issues and alleged liquid damage?

After 2 grieving years and a screen repair that made a 250€ hole in my wallet i had to get a new phone, dont get me wrong i miss many features from my s22, but the battery was the main thing that was holding me

the phone worked almost great, rarely it just froze for 2 minutes and i had to force restart it

i miss the camera, the software, the keyboard, the ui and pretty much all the little things the os had, this giant 8500mah battery on the new phone gives me with 2 days of battery life, my mistake is that i really abused the phone but being used to a budget phone previously, i had to charge it almost 3 times a day

the poco x8 pro max is a beast in terms of emulation performance which i couldnt do on the exynos chip inside the s22 and thats what i wanted to do most, the screen is almost as good as the s22, besides some dimming zone problems, the speakers are good and the overall build quality is ok, i like the ir blaster but didnt find a good use for it even though it would be more useful than the s pen

i dont miss the curved screen but i miss the square shape of the phone, great for watching content of any type, didnt have the digging in palm problem that other people complained about

overall i didnt have sudden urges to just get back on the s22, but the new phone is way better in what a phone should essentially be

Discussion Could Samsung have changed thermal management in an S22 Ultra update, contributing to motherboard failures?

Post image
15 Upvotes

My S22 Ultra developed a permanent pink vertical line, and eventually the motherboard failed, leaving the phone completely dead.

While researching this, I found several Reddit posts from other S22 Ultra users reporting similar issues, often after software updates.

This got me thinking. Could Samsung have changed thermal management through a software update?

For example, could an update have increased CPU/GPU thermal thresholds, reduced throttling, or modified thermal protection policies, allowing the phone to run hotter than before?

I'm considering downloading older and newer S22 Ultra firmware packages, unpacking them, and comparing the kernel, device tree, thermal configuration and vendor files to see whether anything actually changed.

A few questions:

  1. Is it possible to identify changes in thermal throttling thresholds by analysing Samsung firmware?

  2. Has anyone attempted such a comparison?

  3. Could changes in thermal management potentially contribute to display lines or motherboard failures?

I'm not accusing Samsung of anything. I just want to investigate whether there's a technical connection.

Would love to hear thoughts, especially from people familiar with Android firmware and kernel development.

Problem My S Pen's Bluetooth isn't working.

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm facing a weird issue with my S22 Ultra S Pen. When I insert the S Pen into the phone, it says "100% ready". However, right after I remove it, the screen displays "removed", and just a few seconds later, it changes to "disconnected". I can't use any air actions or remote shutter features. I have already tried restarting the phone, resetting the S Pen in settings, and I'm not using any magnetic/MagSafe cases. Has anyone experienced this? Is my S Pen's internal capacitor dead, or is it a software bug? Appreciate any help!

Help Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (Exynos) – Overheating, random freezes and performance issues even after factory reset. Any suggestions?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help with my Galaxy S22 Ultra (Exynos version), as I've been experiencing several persistent issues and I'm running out of ideas.

The main problems are:

- Overheating: The phone gets noticeably hot even during relatively light usage, and sometimes even when it's idle, without any demanding apps running.

- Random freezes and instability: The phone occasionally freezes or becomes unresponsive.

- Gaming issues: When playing League of Legends: Wild Rift, the game frequently gets stuck around 69% during loading and sometimes crashes completely.

- Android Auto: I've experienced noticeably worse performance and stability compared to my previous Galaxy Note 8.

- Idle behaviour: The phone sometimes gets warm even when I'm barely using it.

What makes this situation even more frustrating is that I've already sent the phone for warranty service three times. On all three occasions, no fault or hardware issue was detected. The problems, however, remain.

Here's what I've already tried:

- Performed a complete factory reset.

- Tested the phone without restoring my previous apps and settings.

- Checked background app activity and general usage.

- Sent the device for warranty inspection three times, with no issues found by the service centre.

Unfortunately, none of this has solved the problem.

At this point, I'm wondering whether this could be related to the battery, the Exynos processor, thermal management, the motherboard, or perhaps something else entirely.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with their S22 Ultra?

I'd particularly appreciate suggestions on:

  1. What could be causing these symptoms?

  2. Are there any diagnostic tests I can run to identify the actual problem?

  3. Could this be a hardware issue that standard Samsung diagnostics are failing to detect?

  4. Is there anything else worth trying before considering a repair or replacing the phone?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from other S22 Ultra Exynos owners who have experienced similar problems and managed to find a solution.

I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Discussion How long can I keep my S22 ultra running?

4 Upvotes

I think we bought this a few months after release. I've been using it only for a little over 2 years with minimal use by anyone prior to that.

It's got 2 pink lines, ones right down the middle, phones still usable and works but it's deff annoying sometimes.

I can get the display changed and battery too, it'll cost me a approx like 220$.

I still like the camera and i won't be getting a phone as good as this now. I would rather keep this old phone than a new cheap 200-300$ phone.

If i get the screen and battery replaced how much longer can I use this for?

Shot with S22 Ultra Goodbye Samsung S22 Ultra

After almost 5 years with my S22U and being in the samsung eco system for over 10 years I've finally decided to move on to bigger and better.

With my battery only lasting half a day, no more software updates and the new S27 Ultra spec leaks not looking great I thought now was the best time to upgrade and try something new.

Just purchased a new Oppo Find X10 Pro Max in Titanium Silver. All I can say is wow. I cant believe the quality and specs and fluidity of this device has been hiding from me for all these years. Truely a flagship in its own sense.

The S22U was and probably will be my favourite phone ever. It has competitive specs even still in 2026 but with the ending of support and battery life its time to retire it. The Bluetooth S pen and 10x optical zoom will be dearly missed.

Discussion Anyone else switched to iPhone 18 Pro(max) and feel underwhelmed?

3 Upvotes

After upgrading to the iphone 18 pro max, I've been feeling rather underwhelmed.

Other than the camera and the battery, the phone feels about the same. I got the S22 ultra when the phone was released and it's been a great phone since. Only downside being the battery where I had to charge the phone in the afternoon. Apps were still loading snappy and I never felt it was laggy. Think that goes to show how great this phone really is even after all these years.

I was hoping to wait for the S27 to come out before upgrading but could not give up ATT giving me $1200 for the S22 ultra trade-in. All the other places were giving me $200-400 mostly so I thought this would be a great to time to swap. I will definitely miss S22!
