Buyers Remorse?

My previous S10+ was purchased from a Verizon store, since I needed a new phone ASAP. The LG V20 was incapable of making phone calls. I ended up needing Package Disabler Pro to disable all the bloatware that came from Verizon.

I'm completely happy with my new unlocked S22 Ultra from Samsung, since I had no Verizon bloatware, especially the preinstalled Facebook and all the Verizon apps. I'm keeping the unlocked firmware to avoid the carrier bloatware, and I don't need Package Disabler Pro any longer.

Was Facebook not preinstalled in your S22U? I ask because I set up my unlocked S22 Plus yesterday and noticed that Facebook came installed with my phone, although I was able to delete it..

It was, but I was able to remove it. On the locked S10+ I was not.

Oh, wow. Really? That's frustrating! Not everyone uses Facebook!

I don't, which is why I was so annoyed with it on the Verizon phone.

I love my s22 Ultra but this thing is buggy. Camera wouldn't open for me today. Took two tries to get it to open. Things lag sometimes. Feel like I'm doing a restart every two days and I didn't have to do it that frequently on my s21 ultra. I went weeks without rebooting that. Have a lot of issues with Instagram. Won't load, crashes etc. Other apps do this as well. Kind of annoying.

Hoping the update (whenever it comes) fixes these issues. Also battery life seems subpar.

Did you do a restore when you got it or build from scratch? I would try doing an FDR and building from scratch if you haven't tried that.

It couldn't be removed on the unlocked S10 for about a year either, it stopped being a system app in a system update.
