Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra users report continuous reboots after One UI 6.1 update

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra was launched about three years ago, and it can still go in terms of speed and performance as far as 2025 standards go.

However, some users of the Galaxy S22 Ultra are struggling with a frustrating problem that’s making their phones almost unusable. These users have reported their devices randomly rebooting over and over again in what is known as a boot loop. The issue has become a hot topic on social media platforms like Reddit, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and even Samsung’s official forums.

While some users mention occasional crashes, freezing, or lagging, others say their Galaxy S22 Ultra has completely stopped working because of the endless rebooting. For many, the trouble started after they installed Samsung’s One UI 6.1 update, released in September of last year. A recent report from Sammobile highlighted that users who sought help at Samsung service centres were told the issue was due to a faulty motherboard. Unfortunately, since the Galaxy S22 Ultra is out of warranty for most users now, they’ve had to pay for costly repairs. Some customers are reportedly shelling out hundreds of dollars to fix a problem they feel isn’t their fault.

To make matters worse, Samsung hasn’t yet provided an official solution. Many users are sharing tips and temporary fixes online. One unusual method involves putting the Galaxy S22 Ultra in a freezer for a few minutes. Some claim this helps the phone work again for a short time. However, the problem returns once the device heats up. Experts warn against trying this method, as exposing your phone to extreme cold could damage its internal components.

The frustration among Galaxy S22 Ultra users is growing. One user posted on Reddit, “This was the most expensive phone I’ve ever bought, and now it’s just restarting all the time. I can’t even back up my data.” Others have expressed disappointment with the lack of acknowledgement or support from Samsung. For now, users are left with few options. They can either pay for repairs or wait and hope that Samsung provides a fix, whether through a software patch or a repair program. Many believe the company should take responsibility, especially since the problem seems linked to a recent update.
