S22 Plus under warranty. Should I update my phone?

ThisIsMyUsername — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 17:49:49 GMT

So I just got a S22 Plus that's under warranty and I'm wondering if I should attempt to update my phone? Are Pluses boot looping? I've tried to search but all I've found concerning the S22 Plus is stuff from months ago. Nothing recent.

Are S22 Pluses boot looping from this latest update? I saw other people saying phones with Snapdragon aren't boot looping, either. From what I read, I believe that may apply to this phone also. Should I try to update since I have a 90 day warranty with like 87 days left on it?

Anybody?

My phone wants me to update it but it wants me to use WiFi and I don't have any but I do have data. Why can't it use my data?

Snapdragon user here, 6.1 came out a while ago I have the December update already installed. I have not had the boot looping issue. Odd that update came out months ago and it just causing it now. I you have an exynos chip hold off. There are no new features

It's an S22+ 5g and I'm not in Europe so it's definitely Snapdragon. The update that's causing issues just came out at the beginning of December, I think. I really don't know a bunch about this. I only got this phone 2 or 3 days ago so I'm still new to all of this info and still trying to separate it all and understand what I'm reading. I wasn't even 100% sure which chipset I had until right now lol.

Thank you for the help. It is greatly appreciated!

Did you turn off auto download over wi-fi? Perhaps there's a wi-fi hotspot near you, perhaps at a library or fast-food place or other business establishment?

OK I just updated and it seems to be working. Which cache? I assume it's under Settings with the Factory Reset option and whatever else?

Edit: nah. It's not with the Factory Reset stuff. Which cache? I remember reading about this earlier but don't recall exactly what it was. Thanks!

Oh wow. It wants me to update a 2nd time. This time it's a patch released on Dec 1. Guess I'll do this one also?

SUCCESS! 2 Updates and no immediate issues. No boot loop. And I haven't had it long enough to gauge whether battery life has been affected.

So I guess I'll just keep enjoying my new phone lol. I upgraded from an S9 I've had since like 2020 I think. So this is a big jump. I initially ordered a refurbished A14 5g that was supposed to be in excellent condition but it was more like good or fair. Dents and scratches around the edges and on the back. Scratched screen. So I returned it and threw a few more $ towards a refurb'ed S22+ from a legit store. It's in like-new condition lol. As long as it keeps performing like it has been, I'll be stoked!
