Samsung S22 Ultra won't connect to mobile data

jakemat

I have a Samsung S22 Ultra (model #SM-S908U) smartphone I purchased in 2022. When I got the phone initially, I had problems connecting to mobile data - the phone showed an "x" next to the bars indicating no connection, and I could not access anything that required a network connection (unless I was connected to WiFi, which worked fine). These same problems have been intermittent for the last 3 years, occurring once every few days, with data becoming available again typically after an hour or so. Recently (past 2 days), I cannot connect to mobile data at all using my phone. I tried a network reset, to no avail. I also tried turning mobile data off and back on, and restarting my phone. This is really annoying because I often need mobile data when I don't have access to WiFi. Can someone help? Happy to provide more details if needed.

Hi, this is a known hardware issue with the S22 generation, and this thread will probably get merged to an older one where there was a huge discussion when this problem first started happening. Anyway, the fix is to get the charging port board and the flex antenna replaced. The parts are cheap (were even on Amazon the last I knew), and there are YouTube videos demonstrating how to do the fix yourself if you've adventurous...but otherwise, should be more what a repair shop wants to charge for labor.
